[Official] Gears of War 2

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yup, definitely too late. I'll be buying my new season of games before this patch even comes out most likely!

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

I won't lie...I've been playing Gears of War 2 again. I just learned how to do the shield glitch last night and find it very non useful. The melee through walls is great though, but very cheap. I do weapon slide as I believe it is not really a glitch that needs to be addressed. Title updates seems great and I'm glad it is coming soon.

[Ayepecks]

Good, a patch :) Hopefully they're talking about achievements for new DLC, as the only DLC out isn't that great and way too overpriced.

Can't wait for that patch. Gears has got a lot of flak from a lot of people, but that hasn't stopped all my buddies (myself included) and a lot of people enjoying playing the game as is. This patch will address some issues, but no matter what they do, there are some things that Epic just can't fix. Bring on the pre-complaints!

Is the matchmaking even fixed yet? Last time I tried to play online I couldn't even find a game, let alone experience the kids exploting the games many glitches :sleep2:

I haven't played GoW2 online but I must say that for a company that was made the company it is today largely on the back of it's online gameplay they certainly seem to be struggling to a degree in that field with both bugs in GoW 1 and 2 and UT3's rather lack luster reception. Thats not to take away from GoW's online success despite the flaws, but I am surprised that they have been somewhat sloppy in that regard over the past 2 or 3 years. After GoW1 I certainly expected them not to go through the same old again.

I guess GoW1 on PC can't be called flawless either. It's a shame and I'd love to see Epic concentrate a bit more on the quality control rather than having gamers waiting for patches because they feel the game is unplayable.

Smigit, I think most of the bugs deal with getting into cover. With a very ambiguous cover system like they have, programming must be a nightmare. No matter what they do, some bugs cannot be fixed and are just part of the game.

Even with that said people try to say the glitches ruin the game, but anymore my buddies and find a match in usually under a minute, no lag, and nobody glitches anymore (which I was pretty surprised about).

wow last night when I was playing Horde, there was a Locust glitch. It was the last guy of the wave, and he suddenly flipped up in the air! and practically was just standing in the air and shooting us. Of course we take damage, but when we shot back, he just won't die! He ended up killing all 3 of us... that was just retarded.

Haven't played the game in a while, but I'll probably start doing so again pretty soon.

Maybe it's just me, but I hate when developers release updates that add new achievements if they're going to force you to download content to get that (and pay for it).

It's you. That or your among achievement ######. No one is forcing you to buy the maps, wether or not they add achievements, it doesn't make a difference.

:rolleyes:

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

I've had some problems with matchmaking since my return but not too much. Just search, if nothing pops up in about 15 seconds restart.

I like getting achievements, but I don't see why you're bothered about new achievements being with new dlc.

I'm pretty sure games themselves are only allowed to have 1000 GamerScore, and the extra GamerScore that is allowed for that game must be DLC.

I might not be correct but I think I am.

You are correct. Crackdown had a similar scenario, where paid DLC was released and there were new achievements that came with the new content.

It also teleports,stands there waiting for you to come kill it and I'm sure it's a Bloodmount.Beast Rider riding an invisible "beast".Hey,sometimes there are 2 of them,just floatin',chillin..waitin' on you to kill'em. :D

Not necessarily. It can just be for an update. Bioshock has 1100 from an update.

And you guys are missing my point. If people don't want to be associated with bad DLC, don't associate it with them. It's the same reason you don't buy games -- they don't interest you, you don't like them, or they're crap (or you don't feel the price is justified). I think DLC should only have achievements attributed to those that buy it. I think the current Gears 2 DLC is crap, for instance.

Finally had my first experience with invisibility. Wow is that annoying!

I swear, all 4 of us couldn't take down that one single floating Drone. Instead it was armed with a shotty and well we died, because no matter how much ammo you waste on it, it does NOT DIE! LOL!
