Funny how nobody has a problem with any other multiplayer affair (i.e., R6V, etc) using the EXACT SAME CONNECTION as they use for Gears. Hmmm, could it be that Epic royally f*cked-up by using horribly outdated netcode?? Get off Cliffy B’s d*ck you fanboy loser.

You can play with friends no problem, but unfortunately you’re a pathetic achievement whore with no life and no ability to attract the opposite sex. So ranked matches are your only misguided attempt to maintain some dignity… but it isn’t working, sorry.

Yeah, that would be great with Gears’ atrocious host-side netcode… ROLLS EYES!!!! This game can barely support the lag-fest that is 4-on-4 … any more players would be a horrific nightmare of “epic” proportions. Let this be a lesson to Epic: catch-up with the rest of the industry already and stop giving us multiplayer netcode that is YEARS outdated.

Actually, gotta give props to RedOctane here. They were pretty quick on fixing the whammy bar.

Gears need client side hit detection like any decent game the host advantage is in any connection apart lan enormous.CSHD CSHD CSHD this is the only thing that can be called a improvement not that stupid 3 month waiting patch or the incredible epic’s surprise ANNEX (Domination do you?)

Surely the download speed ain’t as important than the upload?

You mean people still play this game? Trade it in now while you can still get decent money for it.

Totally agree. Also they need to fix the dropping through the floor that seems to happen every time on Fuel Depot when climbing the step inside the warehouse just to the sides of the Hammer + getting down them.

never happened to me but the hit detection is seriously messed up now I shoot people with a full clip of actively reloaded shotgun shots and they don’t die, then I take a normal shot and die instantly!

Don’t get me wrong…. I love Epic…. and Gears…. but having the “A” button do so many things is bound to have its drawbacks.
Personally I prefer the way Rainbow Six choose to do cover.

I don’t mind the new system, it’s just roadie running around corners is near impossible now.

i like the new system personally as i think it gives the max control to the player. i think people just dont really understand how it works, or they are too noob/lazy to utilize it and so they complain. but kudos to epic for apparently trying to make the perfect offspring of both now. should be interesting to see what they come up with. epic and cliffy b have been a company ive liked/trusted for quite awhile now.

they got rid of it for the way people used to do the glitches, but people found new ways to do them. And personally it doesn’t bother me too much, just don’t let them get near you with the chainsaw, and as far as the weapon sliding… just do it too.

there’s not a single think epic can do to get me to enjoy GOW anymore other than include a party system. i only liked it before because it was new, now i’m tired of playing with nobodies and kids.

While they’re at it, they might as well fix the new weapon slide and chainsaw glitch that they didn’t manage to get rid of at all.

Great to hear they listen to what peoples thoughts are specially on such a big game. THE HOST….thats something they should work on…multiplayer the host always has a clear edge on everyone and it can get very annoying. If only something could be done about it.

I actually really like the new control, I haven’t had problems sticking to things I don’t want to.. but yes, Epic deserve a lot of credit for quickly dealing with things like this, not leaving it months and months before even SAYING something.

cool, well done epic. but we need 8 on 8 multi… or even 6 on 6.

By: splattered

Yeah either that or make you point the right analog stick towards the wall to take cover in roadie run mode… that might work too.

yay for epic listening n fixing that bs. whoever complimented it can suck my left and only nut. but anyway, lets hope they either revert it the way it was or maybe make the requirement that u have to repress A to stick to cover, that would be good.
