What Gears of War 2 needs is 4-player Co-Op.

I agree totally. I love this game, but the MP experience could have been a lot better with a Ranked Party System that actually matches you against competitors similar in rank. True skill matchmaking doesn’t work, I still get matched with people who are playing for their first time.

Same here, I’ve gotten every achievement but the 10,000 kill. A ranked Party System would definetly add more life to this game. Playing with friends in ranked matches has been done before and it’s the way to go.

I don’t really care about the single player. It served its purpose, it was fun, gave the game some roots. My problem is the horribly designed multi player, mediocre netcode, and nonexistent matchmaking. Its a “team” based game, in which you cannot play ranked matches with friends. Brilliant.

how much better can this game look? how about real blood coming out of the screen and covering you everytime you chainsaw someone. that would be cool but messy.

Dunno who you are playing with but they must have some shitty budget broadband, no lag on mine, anytime someone does come in and lag then they got shown the door very quickly and if the connection goes dodgy then it stops for everyone at the same time.

Now battlefield, that had some serious lag issues. GoW not a problem in sight.

I play it to death on the MP and still do, hours of fun and abusive banter.

Yeah. I hate it when the host keeps getting so many kills just because he has the least lag. It is not fair.

yeah, it’s too over the top…there should be dedicated servers on which you can host a match anyway

PC’s can have better graphics, but there are hardly any PC’s that could handle Gears right now with 1920×1080 resolution or even 1280×720

Edit that^^ “It was GREAT” not “I” was great.

I hear you but it just has no reply value for me. Trust me , I’ve got guys on my Liist that have put unreal hours into it and still do every day and I think thats great for them. I WISH I was that into it but, What can I say? I’ve spent ten times the hours in Lost Planet Multi player than Gears. Gears multi was hot when it came out, Like a lot of games. But after a few nights of blastin and sawin and splatterin my buds, It just was over. I was GREAT while it happened but that was it. I just hope #2 is better for me. What can I tell ya?

it was a wicked game … now hears the most wicked of it all even when i was on my crappy 128kbit dsl in the caribbean my 360 was rocking 110% without any lag at all now that was fun…

gears singleplayer was good… but come on jasonic its the multiplayer 30-45 minute experience thats where its all at.

4 hours stop playing on casual and knock it up to hardcore.

By: Jasonic

Jasonic — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 02:33:32 +0000

For me , Gears was just another game. In that I mean it was good, It wasn’t great, Just good. Looked great, But VERY short. Like a lot of games, I played it for a week or so and then in the rack it went. I’ve had MUCH more enjoyment out of several games since gears. I can only hope gears 2 is a better (and hopefully longer) experience. Sounds like it might just be. (just the way I see it)

i think i’ve played gears to death, i can definitely put it on hold until friend ranked matches come out.

How about they make the 2nd one with some replay value. Sure the game looked great, but I shouldn’t be able to fly through a game in 4 hours my first time through.

Unfortunately not every PC has better graphics - hence PC games are a mixed bag at best - and optimisation is hard at best for the developers to pull off, since every PC is effectively built to a different spec and has different real-world loadings.

I am a (veteran from the late 80s) drop-out from the PC gaming world, who is kind of glad to have a simpler experience on the 360. My PC is now reserved for creative tasks and real work, which do not need the latest £300 / $600 GPU to play the latest shooter at a decent framerate!

Hasn’t this interview been out for a few weeks or so already?

I hope Gears 2 won’t be too long off, I guess (well I’m quite sure) they can manage to bring it out before the next Microsoft console.
