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 :/

      For me, the fundamental problems with these "smartglasses" is that they really don't work well for people with significant prescriptions and massively up the price if you use attached lenses if they have displays, and if they don't, then they're not actually "smart" anything, rather just connecting to your phone and relaying voice to an AI. In a few cases like this, they throw in small cameras to feed video to the AI. All around, these feel like both a solution looking for a problem, and the problems it tries to solve seem more easily solved by different approaches and designs. Oddly, if the rumours are true, Apple may actually have invented something for once and it kind of does this right: put cameras in ear buds and manage the interface to AI exactly as most of us do: tapping on an ear bud and saying "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri." That makes them compatible with almost everyone, can double up as a hearing assist device, an impaired vision assist device, a "smart" device... and answer your phone and play music. That just seems like a better solution all around.

      Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
