DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2008 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. Gears 2 sits beside Fable II as Microsoft?s biggest first-party games this ChristmaSource: VG24747[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 That's alot of money. Now all they need to do is hire Activision or Bungie to get their netcode sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with Gow2 MP other than the lag and a few balancing issues which need to be fixed.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 8, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The host advantage is now worse than it was in the orignal as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameOverRob Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 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!

Timan Veteran Posted December 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2008 Quit blaming it on lag just cause you suck at the game :p Had to say it hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 The first post in this thread pretty much sums up my feelings towards Gears 2 MPThats 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.

GameOverRob Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathachew Veteran Posted December 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mystic MVC Posted December 8, 2008 MVC Share Posted December 8, 2008 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).

Ayepecks Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Just an FYI, but selling a ton of units doesn't mean a game is going to be in the Platinum series anytime soon, or at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
