Gears of War 2 Update Out


Recommended Posts

Yeah, I would much rather want to see some performance fixes before I get back into playing again.

Whoops, sorry guys, the update is actually not out -- thought it was. The Xbox.com profile for the game was just updated with the new achievements. I'm betting the update will be out tomorrow or sometime very soon.

Just like matchmaking, we keep waiting.

I tried to play today, i let it search for 5 minutes, and restarted the process. It took 3 times of doing that to get in a game, and the connection broke right when it started. I got in and played a whole game the next time though, so thats what 1/4? Those are some pretty good odds for this game.

Once the patch is out, which I'm guessing will be fairly soon, If it fixes it I may consider buying the map pack.

Exactly, the terminal wait to find a game is my biggest complaint.

What was wrong with the loading?

You misunderstood me! I meant does it make the game a lot better. Sorry if I confused you about anything to do with the loading. I won't buy the map pack,will wait till they are free because Epic has handled this game so horribly! But enough of me ranting on about something that has been talked about to death! Just hope we see a proper update this month!

It seems to me they are trying to squeeze everything they can out of those rarely appearing maps. I really hate MP based achievements since that is really just a luck of the draw.

Well it seems like many people are still having troubles with getting into a match, which sucks. My friends and myself have been getting into matches in under a minute, something I keep advocating in posts like this. I'm not saying you are doing something wrong, but a majority of people are getting into games fine, hence why its up to 3/4 on the most played games list.

The only thing I would ask them to fix would probably be the shield glitch. I haven't seen anybody do it in two weeks, but it would still be nice if it was gone.

The game is broken Mystic, I don't know why you are defending it like a mad man.

Good for you if you get into matches quickly, but you are the minority here.

I'm sorry I have a dissenting opinion, I should just complain like everybody else... :rolleyes:

Just not sure how I can be in the minority when Gears is 3 or 4 on the most played list. Plenty of people are playing and getting into games fine. Broken would be; cheating in every match, weapons imbalance, etc. If it was broken, the number of people playing would dramatically drop.

I didn't say you couldn't post your opinion, don't twist my words. Ramming your opinion down everyone's throat when they share their opinion is another matter and just getting boring now, when it's always you saying "oh well I can connect in under a minute", whoppeee! Mystic can play!

And the top 10 list is not based on multiplayer alone, it's the full game. There is more to Gears2 than MP. That doesn't even take into account the people who try and persevere with the problems anyway.

Edit: wow, now you're actually going to say its not broken. Yeah cause I'm sure Epic always intended for people to melee through the walls and all the other crap (N)

Other people in this thread ONLY have the same issues as me (taking forever to find a game and join it), god knows how many people have the issue.

I'm not ramming my opinion down people's throats. I'm making others aware that its not freaking broken, just like you pointed out as well as others. Nobody else in this post has posted about people cheating or using glitches, just you and me. There was the initial week right after it came out when everybody was trying to glitch, but after that got bored, people got back to playing just like normal.

Your right though, one forum post accurately describes the current situation for everybody playing multiplayer.

Munky, all due respect: but pot, meet kettle? You're ramming your opinion down everyone else's throat there. I get into matches fine, just as Mystic does. Never taken me more than 2 minutes since the first update was out.

I disagree, but I've not even touched or really payed attention to GoW2 since November. Everytime I read a topic about the issues though, there is Mystic backing it up like there is no issue as long as he can play.

I can easily go through the topics on NW to back this up, but I don't think its really necessary.

I'm not pushing my opinion on anyone, but to say the game doesn't have issues is an outright lie. It's laughable anybody would even try to say otherwise. Otherwise, why would I and others be avoiding it like the plague? I didn't buy the game for it to sit on my shelf 24/7..
