I don't see how Epic was taking jabs at Halo at all. They took a jab at Doom with the whole flashlight thing in one of the levels (where you have to escort Dizzy through a dark tunnel), but I don't remember any jabs -- explicit or implied -- at Halo. :blink:

How about the reference to the "cave is not a natural formation" when you enter the backdoor to the nexus.

Waiting in excess of 5 minutes to get in a multiplayer game is poor
Are the match-making problems still there?

My Experience so far with MP, I wait for ages to get into a game, sometimes it is faster, but on average too long. Once in game, I just cannot help but bend over and take it up the rear end, and get completely raped in the meantime.

Maybe its not my style of MP game, but I have had matches where nothing worked, bullets not going down and I could shoot forever without reload, and could not kill anyone, but the shoot once and kill me, great so far.

I would like to get into it, but I have had better experience with Resistance 2 or COD:WaW, always get into a match quickly, and have good fun, and I dont get completely trashed on.

Horde mode on the other hand is fine, and had fun.

Ok, all my settings of Gears just got reseted. All my Unlockables is like I didn't play at all.. :s This is retarded. Means I have to play through the whole bloody thing again. To get everything back. and yes, even my collectables are gone. All of them. Funny that I've already have the achievement for it though. This is still retarded.

Why oh why did I just attempt to give it a go, its worse than before :angry:

I cannot believe how screwed up this game really is, it's meant to be the title of the year for the 360!

Edit: Just had it stuck on 'Cancelling matchmaking' for 5 minutes, had to quit to dash to get out!

Randomly out of the Blue;

My disc/(console?) froze twice last night and then i randomly got a disc unreadable error even thou the disc is clean as a whistle not even a fingerprint never mind a scratch - plus why the disc unreadable came up when the game would have been reading off the hard-drive as it was installed? It has also happened to one of my mates!

Apparently this is quite a wide spread problem and there is quite a few posts relating to it on the Epic Forums, has anyone suffered this issue and if so do you have a fix?

The update didn't seem to fix the matchmaking problems. It took my friend and I ten minutes to find a match last night. Also they still need to work out a ton of stuff. Lag for instance is sometimes just down right horrible. I really wish it would pick a host that didn't have the bandwidth to host the damn map. Also I wish other people could join a match already in progress when someone leaves the game.

Yeah it is, it shouldn't be taking this long to sort out. It's the same story with LBP :no:

Two games I was looking forward to playing online with friends and because of the network problems I don't even wanna play them :(

+1

After the LBP release I just didnt want a PS3 anymore :/

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30

      By Copernic · Posted

      FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
