Video: Gears of War 2 grenade tags and melees ... through walls?

Here's a video that'll cause even more "give us a darn Gears 2 game patch Epic!" demands, one that shows off a newly found multiplayer game bug that just shouldn't have made it through play testing.

Seemingly, anywhere a wall can be accessed from both sides, players are able to not only melee another player through the wall, but also stick them with a grenade. We're pointing this out because it's actually a BIG and annoying bug rather then a user exploit or glitch. It's in the game and just shouldn't be. Please, "give us a darn Gears 2 patch Epic!"

thing is none of the reviewers mentioned this is the review$$$$$$$$$$44444444444 i wonder why.

- Ghost of Sparta -5639d ago

It's no wonder so many people stopped playing this POS online. Perfect example of yet another rushed Epic game that underwent zero testing before release.

NewZealander5639d ago

oh come on GOW2 is hardly a POS, anyway the one thing that really needs fixing is the bug that causes you to lose all your war journal progress, all my sub achievements got reset and i had to start from scratch, this has affected alot of people and it sucks big time, otherwise gears is awesome.

Software_Lover5639d ago

Ever thought about that? Look how long it took for this to get out. Sometimes you just have to play something to death to find something wrong. Reviewers dont have that luxury.

boodybandit5639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

After playing Gears 2 a few times online I wondered the same thing about the reviews. Online / multiplayer is a huge component of shooters. Why did they all rush to get their reviews out before any of them tried it online? Why don't you see any follow up opinions from the top sources in the media about just how broken this game is?

I played the original Gears online for 6 months straight. I ultimately ended up leaving the game because of glitches, bugs and their overall net code performance issues. Epic patched the original Gears several times but they only ended up fixing half of what was wrong with the game.

People have already moved back to Halo 3, COD4, towards COD:WAW and some even went back to the original Gears simply because they play better online. If Epic doesn't fix G2 properly and soon more and more people are going to look elsewhere.

Sell it now patch later mentality this generation is really p!ssing me off. This is a blockbuster title with a blockbuster payroll. Some bugs, glitches and performance issues I guess are to be expected but this game has bad net code, poor matching making with weak options and some really bad bugs and glitches. Some that have even made it over from Gears 1.

Epic releasing a map pack for cash just show how ignorant devs and publishers are. I wish they would have made it free because it would've sparked interest for people to go back to it online. They have to be a little concerned that they are not the most played game on XBL. At least I would hope they are.

For now I am holding on to my copy (I still have the original as well) but if it isn't fixed soon I might end up trading it in and I never thought I would ever say that when waiting for this title to be released.

BTW why did they have to go away from their original online system? I HATE matchmaking with voting for mods and maps. I want to play what I want to play and the maps to cycle one after the other.

ultimolu5639d ago (Edited 5639d ago )

Exactly!

Great games get overlooked but this game gets 9's and 10's for broken multiplayer?

Watch the disagrees roll in.

Software Lover...there is no reason why this game should receive this many high scores if the multiplayer has bugs and glitches. Every game has it's moments but this...this is crazy.

Ju5639d ago

Well, Socom is awesome (for its online game AND visuals). But it got a 4/10 for its glitches. Double standards ?

Oner5639d ago

Why does this remind me of something ever so familiar..........OH!!! Now I now why

I didnt know this was possible,,
but yet fanboys still claim the game is perfect in every way..

Im alot happier with the flaws in Gears Of War 1 than 2, as 1 is stil playable
but 2... is just too frustrating to sit down and play..
if you have patience you will like the game, if you dont, then you wont like it.

CrazyOrange5639d ago

EPIC is money hunger

releasing DLC before fixing thier crap system ?
what a d!ckheads.

the pissed me off, i already stopped playing gears 2 since i completed horde and the campign on insane.

thats just silly F*CK F*CK F*CK EPIC

Gears 1 online >>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> ;>>>>>>> Gears 2 online

f*ck EPIC

thereapersson5639d ago

We need his "GEARS OF WAR 2 GOTY CONFIRMED" fanboy slogan right about now...

Fishy Fingers5639d ago

Noticed several people doing this, and more acknowledgement of the problem will more than likely increase the number of people online doing it. Epic need to sort this game out asap before my attention for it fades.

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies704d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638704d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72705d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337705d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever705d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad705d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds705d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

Old McGroin839d ago (Edited 839d ago )

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

https://youtu.be/wy8LRlS1SC...

Neonridr838d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies838d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia839d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey602839d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian229839d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares839d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve839d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares839d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos839d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong839d ago (Edited 839d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard839d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

Atom6661181d ago

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1181d ago (Edited 1181d ago )

Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:

1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
