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 :/

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products. Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion. The two fixed issues in this release are these: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing RoadCraft on Radeon™ RX 7000 series products. Purple screen may be displayed when using an HP Reverb G2 headset with SteamVR on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products. The known issues AMD is still working on are the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon RX 7000 and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. The newly released AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver is now available for download from the AMD Software app. Find the official changelog here.
