can anyone play some horde tommorow night?

[goji]

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.

[Ayepecks]

What? Because there's a similarity means it's making fun of Halo? No offense, but that's just grasping at straws.

Of course it is, and I'm sure it was in good humor as well.

[Ayepecks]

I don't think it was making fun of Halo at all, in good fun or otherwise. It was just a similar statement.

[Guyro]

i dont get it^ care to explain?

Ever played Halo: Combat Evolved? The second level dubbed Halo has Cortana making one of the most ridiculous claims in the entire series. Even Bungie and Co laugh at the inclusion of her quip.

Are the match-making problems still there?

[Guyro]

yes i played it... about 6 years ago, i cant be expected to remember the line

from the sounds of it they were poking fun at halo

[Pheee]

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.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

I'm down for gaming with anyone tonight. Add me if you want to play.

[Razorwing]

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.

[.KICK]

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!

[GameOverRob]

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?

[Dirk]

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.

[Sethos]

Any possible GOTY awards are being flushed down the drain by all these issues, that's for sure.

( Yes, a working game is important )

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I dunno about that Mike, Halo 3 had network issues (and still does on occassions) but it managed "a few" GOTY awards :p

*a few = **** loads

;)

[Sethos]

Nothing like this, not even close - This is just pathetic!

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

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 :(

[Dirk]

At it's current state it shouldn't have been released.

[Brad.]

+1

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

[Smashing Pumpkin]

I for one am just not going to buy this game now, not until it's a bargain bargain price.
