Microsoft Game Studios boss Phil Spencer has confirmed that Gears of War 2 is closing in on 3 million sales.

?I think they?re pushing 3 [million],? said the exec, speaking in the latest Major Nelson podcast.

?Maybe [Epic VP] Mark Rein has a more up to date number.?

The Epic shooter sold more than 2 million units in its opening weekend at the beginning of November.

So you payed ?40 or w/e just to play MP? Rightttt:pp

No, I'paid'> for a good overall game. The SP is good but the MP sucks. I did get this game for the MP side more so than SP personally. So you can keep your sarcastic comments to yourself. :rolleyes::

Oh and I paid ?28.5;);)

Then perhaps Unreal Tournament is more your thing then :p

I'm not being sarcastic either, just pointing out a flaw in your arguement. There is nothing wrong with Gow2 MP other than the lag and a few balancing issues which need to be fixed.

The first post in this thread pretty much sums up my feelings towards Gears 2 MP

Multiplayer issues are gone for me :blink: Even at my dorm with a crappy connection it runs great!

Thats probably because it is making you host

Um, that's not how it works. It picks the best connection for all people involved and chooses that as host. That is most definitely not me, and I can assure you, I never had any host advantage or I would've been using the shotgun non-stop, and I lost almost every single chainsaw battle. It just ran well.

No doubt, but every game has its glitches.

The #1 problem with GoW2 is the lag! Which is all you ever b**** to me about anyways!

Yup that's right (Y)!!!

You guys complaining about lag...never... :laugh: :p

It most definitly does not pick the best connection for everyone, when the whole of one team lags due to the shoddy random host that it picks 7/10 times

Now I wonder when this game become a Platinum Hit and be el-cheapo... Heck, GoW isn't even a Platinum Hit and it's been out since the release of the 360, so I don't have any inclination to think it ever will... or maybe the release of Gears 3 on the 720 will do it :(

One day I'll play this game... one day

They deserve all the sales they get for this one, great job Epic. As to "host" issues, can't say I have had them much. I know I'm not the host (even in the dorms) because we always play with a friend who has a far faster connection. A lot of skill is needed for this game so I think a lot of the "host" argument is thrown in when skill is lacking. Rather that is thrown out the door when playing an opponent across the ocean which never will be completely fixed (never was in Halo 3 or COD4).

GoW1 is platinum and it came out in November 2006. Not November 2005 :p
