Gears of War 2 Filled with Glitches

Gears of War 2 has been available for a few days to a small percentage of gamers that have a modded xbox and tons of glitches have been popping up recently on youtube. Many of those will give you advantages over the opponent therefore ruining the Online Multiplayer experienced for many. This is just the beggining of the glitches that will be found.

[^_^]

||another xbox 360 game with too many flaws||

[elshimiablo]

Fable 2 flopped

Gears 2 is next

[Shaka2K6]

tears of war 1.5 looks like trash though the water sucks and all the gayness i mean grayness is so annoying.

[thebigtarget1]

number 1: these people are playing on modded xboxs not unmodded ones making for glitches
number 2: elshimiablo i bet you never even played fable 2 because it is awesome!

[Zerodin]

SOCOM ya yellow sucker.

[lsbu4gaming]

To: elshimiablo.

DO NOT PM ME YOU SONY FAN

from elshimiablo
"AAA and Fable2??
No
Fable 2 is 89% at metacritic . so not an AAA"

and Gears 2 will pwn your ass. jealous because we Xbox 360 has AAA+ titles wahahahha

[GiantEnemyLobster]

unlike SUCKOM.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

'xPatchBox 360'!!! ;-D

WOW!!! Another xBox 360 person(His name on this is 'nonAsianDroid') just PM'ed me saying 'SUCK MY B*LLS'!!! ;-D
Get one of your xBox LIVE mates to do it for you!!! ;-D
Keep'em coming!!! It don't bother me!!!;) It just shows me how sad you xBox FanBoys on this are really.

[nonAsianDroid]

everybody is telling you to suck there b*lls

lmao!

[nonAsianDroid]

go ahead let all your anger out droid ^^

[Flop Runs Deep]

It's definitely a flop,the ending was terrible and the game has too many glitches

[robotnik]

Did I hear flop?

[FAQS]

At Sir Ken:
Some idiot xbot named Keele send to me some PM's too just to bash me! He thinks he is a real badass, calling me names and stuff, but the only thing that I did was Laughing so Loud how idiot was the situation...I really begged to him to sent me more PM's whith that f"cking idiot language, so I can laugh more...Please if you are reading this, just do it again please!!!!
About the article, I just want to say something: FLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPPPPPPPPP

[Yoma]

lol GeOW plays with lagg on your "lagg free" xbox lagg service... and it costs too.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

If 'Keele' sends you more stuff, just send him to 'nonAsianDroid' They both PM'ed me the same thing???(i.e 'SUCK MY B*LLS), so they seem to want their B*LLS to be sucked off???
So they could do eachother!!! ;-D

AWWWWWW i can see N4G 1st GAY Wedding coming!!! ;-D

p.s I'm 100% into Lovely Women anyway!!! ;-P

[Pain]

Only Xbox 2 game's get the AAA and the even better AAAA. but Gears be sucktasticas as it is, it takes the cake and gets AAAAA.

[PirateThom]

If these are modded, couldn't that be why it's glitchy?

[Vip3r]

I think "modded xboxes" will just mean they are chipped to play dodgy copied games.

[PirateThom]

That's what I mean though.

Copies/burned games do sometimes have glitches.

[oriol003]

If the game has been leaked it means that the Retail disc was copied to a computer and shared in torrent sites. The Leaked version is the final version because right now all they are doing is making discs to sell the game is done all they can do is make patches so once the game comes out people can download them from xbox live.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

So now the pirated versions on peoples modified(see screwed with) consoles are valid for bug reports? I mean these people are burning onto their own media so who knows what kind of problems can occur in that process.

Why don't we at least wait till the retail is out, in the meantime you haters can sharpen your pitchforks.

[Lord Shuhei Yoshida]

@Crab

You know it.I'm sharpening my pitchfork right now

>:)

[Xi]

There's no way to know what version they are playing, the game could've been stolen anytime during the production stage when a black disc (what ever they call the discs they use during beta/alpha/development/ or review/hands on discs) is available.

but it is likely that they are playing a retail or review disc to.

[jaysquared]

If you have a modded xbox and got a burnt copy of GoW2 and playing it online then you can pretty much say goodbye to your XBL account. M$ will be banning you when the time comes!

[hazeblaze]

That shouldn't be the reason... a mod'd box usually just means you can play pirated games... I've never seen it effect the quality of the game. But that's kind of ridiculous actually... that CAN'T be what the retail game will be like. If so, InstaFail online... At the very least, hopefully the glitchiness isn't as common as these vids make them appear!

[Bonsai1214]

by the looks of it, the glitch is just exploiting the cover system. like the long jump one, he was sucked to the far wall, covered, then fell because there was no ground. just a result of bad programing. its the same case with the weapon pickup one.

i probably won't play the game anyways..

[gw4k]

To mod a 360 it is actually very simple. All you have to do is flash the DVD drive's firmware (not the systems). This way it will read all media discs...including dvdrs.

I have a friend that has one....Let me tell you, Fallout 3 is awesome!

[dexterwang]

Wow you guys are really ignorant about the 360 pirate scene

1. Out of the 5 360 games leaked weeks early recently, aka fallout3, dead space, fable 2 etc, all were retail codes. Piraters who post alpha or beta codes are usually found out and flamed

2. Modded 360's only have their DVD drives flashed... any problems are only slow downs and freezing due to a bad burn. Most 360 modders know which type of DVDs to use and what programs to burn them with to avoid those problems.

Anyways I've tried the game at my friend's house and it wasn't as bad as the video seemed, I think I only noticed one small glitch with the weird hopping in the 1 hr I played the game. So chill people, I'm sure epic will have a patch ready soon.

[f789790]

Doing so lets the developer ship earlier or not force their employees to work an 18 hours a day a few weeks before going gold.

[Xelai]

Pirates are sad, but also is very sad Epic releases a glitched game that will ruin the online experience for everyone. Well, we all know they have a back record of releasing games with annoying glitches and never patching them, so lets hope this does not happen this time.
Could they please learn something from Bungie for example?

[BWS1982]

to see a cumulative idea of what's going on, this all very well may be valid, but to me, it's jumping the gun. Again, I could be wrong, but for me to make up my mind on "Epic fail!!!111!!" I need more proof than pre-released copies that are touted as being identical to what I could purchase in a month.

[Tarasque]

First off, you can't play online with a modded xbox. And secondly i am not worried about it, sure all games have bug's.

[Millah]

LOL wow you kids are retards about the pirate scene in general. "Modding" it doesn't do anything to the system and the stability of it and games, and ever more so with the 360 because its not even technically modding since you don't need to solder a mod chip. All you do is "flash" the disc drive and install a hacked version of the firmware that allows DVD-Rs to be read.

The only thing that can be affected from burnt games are slow load times and the disc not being read occasionally, but that has to do with how fast they burn and what brand of disc they use. Most modders already know which brand is the best and stick to that and they probably don't burn at above 1X because thats when you get those problems. BUT regardless of either of those two things, it will not magically create glitches in a retail build.

Practically every game that leaks online are RETAIL builds, I don't know why you guys think this is like a developers copy or something because that would never get leaked seeing as the developers aren't going to leak their own game in progress. When games go Gold, that means its finished and so they start pressing the games to discs, then someone who works at one of these places that either manufactures the games or one of the stores that get them early will steal the game and leak it online.

ALSO yes you can play modded 360s and pirated games on Live, you have to patch the game disc with some kind of thing first before you can go online tho, I don't really know what it is but I know that people do it.

I don't know if you guys are just wishful thinkers or completely ignorant about pirating in general, but yea thats how things work, so if the leaked RETAIL build has these glitches, thats the exact same thing you will find when you buy the game unless they release a patch before then.

[masterg]

Damn..
Gears 1 took months before they made the first patch which took care of alot of glitches, but created new ones.
Was hoping it would not be like this this time around.
Still day 1 for me.

[Kill Crow]

The is new copy prtection software which works by deliberately inserting Fake scratch errors on the master copy of a Disc. When anyone copies it, their burning software usually skips or attempts to recover the bad data (remember it's fake and has nothing to do with the actual data itself.

So the copied discs appear to be error free. However, the real software can now tell it is a copy because the faked errors are not there anymore. The suggestion i nthe article I read on the matter was that rather than just stop working, the software would introduce glitches.

Seems like the most likely cause of events here !

[callahan09]

Who knows, but we'll all find out. The first Gears of War had its fair share of glitches. A couple of game-ending glitches online really annoywed me once or twice, especially when gamers would get the sniper rifle and purposefully exploit the "off-the-map" glitch and go hide somewhere that's technically not supposed to be possible to reach, and then start sniping people off. It ruined the game for me, eventually. Dunno if it was ever patched, but I played the game for a good 5 months online and during that entire time it was never patched.

[oriol003]

This is the Retail version don't you guys get it. Its an Exact Copy of the Retail version nothing has been modified.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Maybe you don't get that a persons burner and the media they use can absolutely effect a game.

I don't care what this was stolen from, it's not a retail copy and not news.

EDIT: OnslaughtX, excellent response and you are correct some of the "glitches" described here could be in the game but I have no way of verifying where the source of this pirated copy camee from it could be a review copy for all we know. But yes, if it's patched quickly then no problems.

[DiabloRising]

Crab is right to an extent. It really depends on where this source file is coming from. If it is a retail copy of the disc, chances are a lot of these bugs are going to keep happening. If its occlusion, slowdown, screen tearing, etc, the burner isn't going to affect that. If its things like loading time, accessing menus, etc. THAT can be affected by the burner.

No need to tear down a solid sequel before it's even released though.

Also, every game has bugs. It's just a fact of life. The question is, are they game breaking? And if so, will they be patched? That's what matters.

Crab - Yup. There's no reason for people to freak out. If its a gameplay bug, chances are its gonna be fixed. Visual bugs happen, especially on holiday releases that are expected out on a certain date. Just the way it is.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

There is no proof that this is a retail version or ripped from one for that matter. For all you know this could have been a stolen beta version.

The previous game did have a crapload of glitches though.... but hold your judgement until the game is released.

[hazeblaze]

Copying a game cannot effect it's code!!! If it was pirated from a retail copy, then those problems exist in the retail copy as well. The only hope is that this comes from some early build or something!!!

[pumpkinpunker]

whatever. buddy. an old beta version has been leaked for awhile now. haven't you been paying attention to N4G? stop acting like you know it all when you can't even get basic facts straight.

[leyego]

they'll patch it so who gives a sh!t. ban the online early commers patch it and its done.
unless u have a modded 360 with no xboxlive then ur pretty much safe.

edit: btw crab, ur either still just a kid or really stupid when it comes to computers.
burning a game doesn't cause it to have errors if u do it correctly (which 100% of all console prites know how to do). how the hell do u think they make 1mil copies of a game from one retail copy obtained for the devs? its the same process except put into the laps of the common user. so blaming these bugs on the burning media just shows how stupid u are when it comes to computers.

[mpmaley]

No reason to disagree w/ you, don't know why they are. The game is gold already and they just don't know that 360s can play pirated games and those pirated games can be played on Live. I know 4 people that do it and have done it for over a year.

[RiseOfMonster]

:p

[jackdoe]

Serves those motherfvcking pirates. Anyway, I'm sure those glitches will be ironed out for paying customers.

[Harri4444]

if their is one glitch their is 1000 more. it is going to be very hard to get 1000 glitches ironed out.

[gijose]

there are glitches in every game. QFT.

name me one game EVER that has no glitches whatsoever?

[athlon770]

Pong, you know, the final version after they fixed all the glitches...

[GameDev]

Glitches of War, I lost count of how many times I would get killed in multiplayer cause everytime you got into close combat the 360 starts dropping frames like a junkie snitch in central booking.

[ScottEFresh]

Usually modded games are only slower, they don't really produce bugs.

[pumpkinpunker]

they're playing a leaked pirated version that could be a 6 months old stolen beta version on a modded xbox and they complain about glitches. too funny.

Shut up, get a job, and buy the retail copy.

Thank you. This service announcement was provided by People With IQs over 50.

[mpmaley]

It's the final retail copy of the game, this is known.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

You know for fact its final retail? Or are we just taking the posters "update" rationale to jump to the conclusion its final version. I just find it funny that everyone just assumes its retail. This could easily be a burned copy of a "pre-view" build. God knows the gaming journalism community is not filled with Saints.

[bunbun777]

"I see glitches...."

[Deadman64]

Your effort is cute, but no.

[air1]

maybe they shouldnt be buying pirated games? imo...

omg a game with glitches thats a first time this gen.

gears2 will still outsell any ps3 game and take the goty.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Outsell...maybe. LBP has a chance. (Proportionally, LittleBigPlanet and Resistance 2 will destroy Gears of War 2.)

Game of the Year though? No...

LBP, MGS4, Fallout 3, and Prince of Persia will be fighting for that one...and MGS4 will get the majority of them.

[Whoooop]

Well, considering that the Unreal Engine is outdated... It could be true.

[Deadman64]

Actually no, it will only get more and more stable and robust.

[lsujester]

Yes and no. In the long run, the Unreal Engine will look better and better as time and tech move on. As for the Unreal Engine within this generation of consoles, maybe. While in some games, it can look amazing, I still think that a few other built-from-scratch engines look better.

[sniper4534]

well i dont care, i can use those glitches to my advantage, i basically know every glitch in the first gears so, i dont think it would be hard doing then in gears 2, i dont care if the xbox is modded or not but i think epic is trying to make glitches part of the game play, it may sound stupid but sadly is kinda true lol

[Halochampian]

I normally dont bluntly come out and say this but... you are retarded or mentally challenged is the more politically correct way.

using glitches to your advantage??? wow... skill must be something you are in lack of.

and making glitches as part of the game?? yea... and the fact that is called a "glitch" didnt make you think about your statement?

Don't do the glitches. It ruins the game. If you NEED to use them to your advantage, then you obviously couldn't win without them.

[0verdrive]

im going to disagree to an extent about using glitches competitively. my main case in point is smash brothers melee. l-cancelling and wavedashing are just two major examples of the tens to maybe a hundred "glitches" in that game that have been embraced as a part of the game and a necessary component to competitive play. nintendo "fixed" these glitches in smash brothers brawl, but to many loyal fans' disappointment. the lack of these "glitches" or advanced techniques as people have come to know them as, has really turned many people away from brawl as a competitive outlet and have moved back to smashbros melee.

[DJ]

Even if it's in the retail version, there's no need to cry over it.

[MGOelite]

its funny to see the 360s pride and joy fall flat on its ass lol seriousely ask yourself what else have you guys got lol??? if resistance 2 and littlebigplannet fail badly (VERY UNLIKLY) we still have killzone 2 coming in febuary and can somebody please show me 360 graphics what come close to K2 ... no i didnt think so

so lets recap a couple days ago GOW2 broke 6 360s at EPIC which unless theyve fully fixed the problem will fuk up about 100,000 360s (LOL) and now weve found that the online is FULL with glitches what have been found by 1 person lol what do you think will happen when 100k people log onto it lol glitch round every cornor.

Ill be happy playing my 30-30 TOTALLY LAGLESS (first hand experience i swear 0 lagg and ive got like a 1MB connection)

and creating fun little levels when i cant be arsed blowing some guys head off.

[GWAVE]

Yeah, guys! Let's rally together and defend Gears 2! They only played the retail version. What do THEY know?

I mean, EPIC would NEVER release a glitchy game! Unreal Engine is always bug-free with no framerate issues or texture pop-in.

/extreme sarcasm

[Tarasque]

Yeah i am with you the texture pop-in is about as bad as uncharted. So what does anyone know, sorry i have to disagree with you on the framerate issue's haven't seen that really in gears 1, maybe you can enlighten me?

[plain rice]

Haven't seen any texture pop-in in Uncharted, maybe YOU can enlighten me.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I love Epic, but they shouldn't let this get through.

Hopefully, they'll release an update for it...like they do with all the Unreals on PC.

I don't want anything plaguing this game. I can't wait to play it!

[DevastationEve]

"Filled". Fanboy opinion. If it were a logically thought out article, then I might have actually let it pass.

[JonahFalcon]

Glitches on modded 360's? Let's hear from people who play the legit game on unmodded, non-pirate 360's.

[digger18]

The first one had glitches, so I don't see why this one doesn't.
I put it down to the buggy Unreal Engine 3, its always been a glitchy engine.

[lsujester]

*Sarcasm alert*

I chalk it up to Cliffy B trying to insert so much badassery into Gears 2 that he forgot to make everything work just right.

[Rick Astley]

Just like Gears 1. :) So much for "bigger, better and badder" lulz. Gears 1.5 confirmed.

[Narutone66]

Prologue to me.

[Fan Tastic]

Hopefully the lag will not be nearly as bad as Gears 1..

When is M$ going to provide dedicated servers. -cough- we are paying for live for gaming right.. Oh wait, we are paying for socializing and laggy P2P :(

[Tarasque]

Must be your connection maybe you should drop dsl and get cable...=O

[ReTarDedFisHy]

This is ridculous, why are all these great games coming out this season filled with glitches? And why the hell would patches be necessary in the first place? What the hell are developers focusing on lately?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

There are no glitches!

Wait...were you talking about the Fable II and Gears of War 2 glitches? Well...those don't count.

[dale1]

did they beta test this,50$ online for this sh*t,fable is getting some stick as well for its online play,socom is looking better by the day

[GCO Gamer]

It's only the press copy when the game is released there would be any glitches, like in Fable II

[Zerodin]

1 lil 2 lil 3 lil azns.
All sucking on yellow d!cks!

[digger18]

Just like you fu*king troll all the PS3 news. Just grow up ass wipe.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Yellow?

Is that racism?

OH SNAP! I get to report you!

[GeneralOfDeath]

What u gunna say now Xgarbage fans ?

[air1]

if the ps3 is so great then why is it selling so poorly? even in japan.

do you ppl even subscribe to egm, gamepro, gi, play etc? or do you just troll n4g thinking that you are getting real news from this place? cause all this site is is a link to everyone elses news.

r2 better than gears2? lmfao. please get the latest issue of gi. (gameinformer) r2 is going to be used as a meat shield. all r2 has is a frikin huge monster big woop. we all know that the 360 wins the shooter genre hands down.

[MONOLITHICIDE]

HA! your a funny one i guess youve never played resistance before, your gonna let gameinformer choose your games, oh yea your a true gamer right. resistance 2 is awesome ive been playing the beta and the 8 player coop is sweet, and it has never lagged once for me, neither has the 60 player matches, ha and isnt it only the beta, yea, yea it is, whatever you all can praise halo and GeOW 2 but, playstation Awesomeness has, killzone, GOW3, LBP, R2, Socom, eyepet, infamous and so on, oh and blu-ray movies. HA! I rather have that than 2 exclusive games(GeOW2 and Fable2) that are all apperently glitching and those are your major titles, dont even bring up socom, its awesome but not everybody that has playstation praises it like all the Xbox boys do for Halo, damn its annoying Halo is not that good, whats so original about it, nothing to me, whatever bye.

[Reibooi]

I Believe it considering alot of friends and Myself referred to the first games multi player as Glitches of War because of the insane amount of glitches the game has It really wouldn't surprise me if the sequel is the same.

Honestly the Unreal Engine 3 itself is pretty glitchy. Especially when it comes to collision detection. Every game I have seen with the engine has collision detection problems and in Gears it was horrid. You would miss 90% of Headsets with the sniper simply because the enemy was moving even though the bullet clearly went through its head. Not to mention getting stuck in the wall countless times as you go from cover to cover.

[Yellowstar]

I approve this with my yellow c0ck!

lol gears of war 2 is gonna pwn ANY ps3 game lol. lets be honest hear people, little big planet or shooting the fu*k out of aliens on gears 2? cant wait till the 7th gears 2 campaign all night long lol btw don't kid yourselves, socom is sh*t...

[air1]

that is funny huh. lbp over gears2. lmfao shoot aliens in gears2 or run from one end to the other in lbp? hard choice..

you sony fanatics have alot to say about 360 games when this is supposed to be the year of the ps3 but its getting outsold? even in japan? lol

no wonder why they revised there prfit and took it down to 57% loss. lol

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

at least compare games in the same genre?

You fanboys don't even make sense anymore.

[snoopgg]

destroy any game on the 360. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!!!!! Beech Arse 360 faN that you are!!!!! All these games including Glitches of War will pale in comparision to Killzone 2. Not an opinion, just a fact!!!

[GameDev]

sh1t around is what's falling out of your mouth, Socom is a great game and anyone that plays it will find a RIDICULOUS number of servers to choose from.

LIKE IT OR NOT F@GGOT XBOTS BUT THIS IS A XBOX LIVE KILLER. EVERYONE HAS A HEADSET AND THE GAMEPLAY MAKES QUEERS OF BORE LOOK LIKE AN ETCH A SKETCH GAME.

[MONOLITHICIDE]

sorry rupi Socom is awesome, its just SOny fans, some of us like to play online with challenge, like no respawn, when you play like that, it uses teamwork and when you get some kills in a round it means something becasue people are retardedly good at that game, sorry we all dont want to play like a bunch of 10 year old cussing at ppl, thinking your all good because its a 30 minute round with respawn on and you have one hundred kills, sorry that doesnt make you good, i would love to play xbox fans in socom see how good they are when theres no respawn in a game. theyall quit and say it sucks because they suck and cant play a real game, they need respawn to look good HA!

[Killjoy3000]

Ok, Rupi. You wanna play that way?

Take down about 5 little enemies at a time in Gears, or take down a 300ft Leviathan in R2?

5 on 5 in Gears, or 128 on 128 in MAG?

Making your own ships in Banjo, or your own world in littleBigPlanet?

STFU!!

And BtW, wneh God of War 3 comes out, the 360 will most definately die.

[Tmac]

Resistance 2 is rated higher than Gears of War 2? What are you gonna do now? LOL.

[digger18]

Its a shame if this is real, but still looking forward to this game.

[lsbu4gaming]

glitches are nothing when the beast releases.

Gears had glitches but that didn't stop it being a Beast of a title wahahaha

[RememberThe357]

It's just that this is such a big game, the idea of it being glitchy is a bit of a let down.

[Tarasque]

I agree dood completely, Kinda like Socom and MGO....

[Ldubbz]

This is not the retail copy of the game. No one here can know for sure where this file came from , or what could be causing some glitches to occur.

Gears 2 is going to be tha shiznit, simple and plain. Gears 1 is STILL one of the best game made to dat IMHO, and Gears 2 will build upon that. Rev up your chainsaw muhfuhkaz...

[Harri4444]

hopefully they get this fixed or it is going to be socom all over again

[LeGenDx]

triple A status

[MGOelite]

i think socom was a mint game until they released patch 1.40 which fuked everything up to the fullest, the gameplay is sound but there are way too many glitches, it should be ok by the time i get my hands on the final version NOV 28th. and that little dig about littlebigplannet??

Littlebigplannet will have a near unlimited lifespan since there will always be people who want the freedom to create what they want and see whos level is better

gears 2 will soon get boring i give it a 4 month lifespan, ive seen the shi!!y ending with marcus flying into the distance after destroying the final boss while the narrater reels of a load of useless sh!t, so the story doesnt sound that great and it turns out online is very messed up so whats this game still got going for it,

face it i admit that GOW2 does look better than R2 graphically (for good reason though, 5v5 gameplay on tiny(ish) maps vs. 30-30 on absolutely epic sized maps, theres gonna be a graphic drop somewhere down the road.) but R2s co-op, gameplay and story are all superior

GOW2 is bringing nothing new (proven by leaked ending + multiplayer) unlike resitance 8player co op which can last up to 150+ hours with bosses with STUPID amounts of health, 30-30 squad based online, and a single player what'll last 18-24 hours long

i know what game ill be getting

[rupi]

gears 2 multiplayer lifespan of 4 months? I don't think so with seriously 2.0. 100,000 kills people will be trying to get that achievement waaay more than 4 months after the game comes out.

[MONOLITHICIDE]

i agree, but arent the bosses in 8 player coop reterded hard, they take like a half an hour to take down and then you die a sh1t load from those fire balls, trying to revive everybody

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

can't have this many glitches.

It's on a modded xbox. Of course it's gonna have glitches on one of those.

[giovonni]

Only time will tell, I will tell you that when I play it

[Doctor Strange]

I personally found these videos funny because it reminds me of the first Metal Gear Online that came with MGS3 and the glitches in that game were insane like repeatedly getting killed by a dead guy over and over.

Still if it is retail a modded Xbox wouldn't produce these kind of glitches. We won't know for sure until Gears 2 comes out but if this is true Epic is going to be on top of this in no time.

[DarkSniper]

Microslaves have sadly become used to playing flawed, and glitched products out of the box. This stems back from last year's mediocre title Mass Effect. It appears these developers have a grand vision on how their game should be developed, but Xbox 360 is simply not capable of churning out what's needed for a seamless gaming experience. Sacrafices are needed to be made and frame rate hiccups, jaggies, pop-ins and several other unnamed errors are going to be present.

It looks as if 2008 spells another year further in the downward spiral for Xbox 360. Queers of Bore 2 is destined to get the critical bashing it deserves for being an unimaginitive, bland, and dull sequel. The truth of the matter is that Unreal Tournament III has a better ending than this dumpster juice sequel.

Dark Sniper would rather enjoy a cinematic experience that combines itself with fluid gameplay, breathtaking cinematics, seamless loading times and an overall immersive experience. He would rather enjoy what PLAYSTATION®3 has to offer rather than watching Marcus Fenix fly away on a helicopter, AGAIN.

Microslaves, how typical.

$niper

[rupi]

lol whatever dude. "seamless gaming experience" ok... whatever. gears one campaign = amazing story, fun campaign. not good enough for you? why not? I'm just getting gears 2 cus I presume it will be as fun and enjoyable as gears 1

[Kush_Reaper]

@ 19.1

That's the problem with you bots. You always assume while ps3 owners know their product inside out before they make a purchase. Talk about being a uneducated gamer, tha'ts why you got the F@gbox360 lol pre mature loosers.

[Ttam]

You guys are all forgetting that hes playing online.

[Bloodshedder]

but come on Call of duty 4 has tons more glitches, and how much fun have we had on COD 4?? a lot, stop trashing this game its starting to look desperate...

[Harri4444]

COD 4 is one of the cleanest games I have played.

[Xelai]

CoD4 on PS3 has loads of glitches.

[poopface1]

Everyone just waits for a 360 game to "have glitches" and all kinds of articles like this have you people so excited. Who cares, do you have it? do you even have/want a 360?

Ill get the real version and play it on my un-modded xbox. but I doubt it'll be much more glitchy than the first.

[RememberThe357]

So do a large number of people here. It's true that there are some people here who want this game to do badly just to spite MS, but it seems to me the reason you lost many of your bubbles is because of statement like the one you just made. "Everyone" here isn't just waiting around for the 360 to mess up. This might be news to you, but some people are actually looking foreword to this game, and news that the game is "filled with glitches" is a bit alarming. If there are glitches we as gamers need to call the devs on it and get them to fix it. I'm, for one, are not going to just be OK with a $60 filled with glitches. That said, the game is still going to kick ass, plus I'm renting it so I'm not trippin.

[poopface1]

you have one but you dont believe me. You say you have a 360 but no gamertag(silver is free), but you do have a ps3 tag. Im sure your telling the truth that you have a 360.

[FailStation3]

fact: all droids are scared sh1tless of this game!

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Fact: Only "in the closet" homosexual preteens get off on steroid fueled men carrying big guns (Halo,gears)

Fact:When PS3 fans say this game sucks.They mean it.

Fact:You're going to die a virgin.

[FailStation3]

fact: poooooooooor canadian crackhead :(

[snoopgg]

be scared of this game with resistance 2 and Killzone 2 around the corner. Shat, lots of 360's fans are going to drop when they see Killzone 2 destroy their belove Gear 2 graphics while doing so much more on screen!!!! Fact Fact Fact!!!!!!

[dkgshiz]

Maybe if your the worlds biggest pu$$y. Either way, KZ2 is just a few months away. When that comes out, I doubt anyone will even remember what Gears of war is :)

[Ps3Fanboy777]

I never once thought this game would be flawless.. Cant wait until someone glitchs the roadie run again! Exactly why im not buying this game until it gets down into the 20.00 price range.

[AbyssGravelord]

Wow you know about the "roadie run" glitch? How'd you learn about it, were you bored one day on Youtube?

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

It's glitching because it's being playing it on modded consoles

1+1=2

[Bathyj]

Glitch of War Too.

Am I the first? Remember who made that up when it catches on. ;)

I'm kidding guys, relax. I'm just about to make a sandwhich, would you like one?

[PS360PCROCKS]

yes I'm starved! Turkey on Rye, light mayo, two tomatoes, two pieces of bacon. ty

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

LOL their only AAA exclusive this year and it's full of glitches, how sad. Sorry but it's going downward with 360, this year Sony literally owned MS games and sales wise and next year it will be even worse for MS.
I also have to seriously ask me how the hell 360 can have any fans, I mean the hardware is of crap quality, for online you gotta pay 60 bucks a year and you can't save any money on games. Oh yeah and it does have an outdated drive, the games get cut and you get games on multiple discs and you can't watch HD movies on your HDTV. On PS3 it's the opposite and the best part from this all is that you can save a FORTUNE when you are a PS3 gamer. First of all online costs nothing and secondly you can get brand new games for cheap(20-40 bucks). MS fanboys are probably asking themselves "how the hell is that possible" haha well, you can thank Sony for making the games region free so everybody can buy now games from Hong Kong for cheap over Ebay. Oh and while I'm at it you can also thank Sony for including a Blu-ray drive, because all games from HK have the main languages like english, german and spanish haha try to beat lol so how the hell can 360 have any fans? I seriously can't think of any other than national pride and the worlwide sales give me right as 360 is only strong in USA. Pretty sad to be with such an inferior system just because the company behind it is from your country.

[PS360PCROCKS]

First off you "enforce NO truth" Sony hasn't owned anything this year, neither has Microsoft, Nintendo has. Microsoft still leads Sony, am I right? Point made. It's $50, not $60 for online and it's $40 on Amazon for 13 months. The disc is fine, very few games are more than one CD. HD movies? It's called the whole Netflix thing that is up and running in two weeks, and the HD movie DL service that as been in service for um what 2 years now? The hardware may suck but it's fixed for free so who cares? Headache? yes. Unforgivable? No. Higher rated games on 360. More games on 360. Higher rated exclusives on 360. Cheaper system? yup. Oh and Sony didn't make the games region free so you can be a cheap skate. The drive is region free because of movies and so if you WANT to import something ONLY japanese etc you CAN. Microsoft brings everything to everywhere. I have a PS3 and I like it, I have a 360 and I love it. Quit flaming, flaming flamer.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Fail

[codemonkey240]

ture that is tur but iff the game did not have problems would you get it

[gololo]

for what is worth...GeoW kicked a$$ with its glitches and all...GeoW2 will be at least as entertaining as GeoW1 (at least, probably a lot more though) with or without glitches...yes it is unfair for ppl that don't take advantage of those but when you kill some one crab walking or glitching, the pleasure that it brings is priceless...so you know what, bring on the glitchers, I for one will have a huge smile when I kill one of those :)

[djtek184]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FFFFFfLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLlOOOOOOOOO PPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PS360PCROCKS]

Um...heres an idea, ya know just a thought, why don't you play the game and stop LOOKING for glitches? They're all from the same person obviously LOOKING for them. Yes Gears 1 had a few glitches, IF you looked for them, but they were harmless. Like seriously wtf are you going to do with those? Because apparently in online play your going to glitch yourself to a wall, what point does that serve?

[outlawlife]

there is a whole community of people focused purely on glitching, just because a couple of these people found a few glitches doesn't mean anything

people glitch on every game, people were glitching on the world at war beta THE FIRST DAY

every online game has glitches and most of them aren't glaring, but are found by a few people with a little too much time on their hands

to say this game is "filled with bugs" because 1 guy, with 1 pirated copy, finds a couple exploits on a single map?

come on now lets be reasonable, these don't look like they are simple to either save the weapon slide but i don't see how that would help you

but considering every preview of the game and its multiplayer says it runs smoother than gears1 10 fold then what are you worried about?

you'll always find a few people trying to cheat/glitch and you deal with them however you see fit...if the glitches really effect gameplay epic will patch...they patched gears 1 twice

but yet some devs like infinity ward haven't touched exploits in COD4, i'll buy gears 2 and i will enjoy it and if my experience is ruined by glitches i'll complain but not until i have a retail copy in my hands

not some shoddy video from some pirating scum

[shawnsl65]

hey that's what my testbox360 is for.. i mean these "scene" people. Test before you buy ~.~

[bbelly9320_]

Well done M$.

[BrianC6234]

Maybe this is Microsoft's way of getting back at all the cheap jerk pirates. They secretly release thier game on the Internet only it's full of bugs. Bwahaha. I hope that's what they did. Maybe it even has a 360 virus in it that will destroy their hard drive.

How can anyone really complain about bugs in a game that is illegally downloaded? What idiots.

[AngryTypingGuy]

I can tell by the way some of you retards repeat things 200 times in your posts that you have a lot of intelligent things to say. The game has yet to be released to the public, and some of you are already saying flop because of some glitches (which every game has). Gears will not be a flop - it will be the highest selling game of the year, and possibly game of the year, period. It will sell more than MGS4, hands down.

[robotnik]

That sucks for XBOX players.

[Ngai]

lol beta testing thru torrents?

[MaximusPrime]

people got to take noticed of the spelling mistake before submitting this news.

beggining??

[robotnik]

Gears of War 2 will be better experienced in PC fall 2009.

The Xbox 360 fails to deliver AGAIN, and will not be long till the evil corporation Microsoft runs into bankrupcy with his satanic leader ahead, Mr Bill Gates, the Portrait of Evil, the Antichrist.

Don't be afraid, jump out and PLAY B3YOND, we have good games for everyone.

[nice_cuppa]

you sad, sad people !

[mll09]

Resistance 2 glitches?

Yeah it's in the beta noob, so they'll get patched.

Once again, another overhyped and overrated game on the 360 that will FLOOOOOOOPPP!

Go have fun with your Queers while we play worthwhile 200+ hour OFFLINE game Resistance 2.

Queers is dated. When I was watching those videos, I thought I was watching Queers 1.

[she00win99]

gays on warts 1.5 is going to flop

[t_tocs]

this always happens. a game comes up, it's pirated, bugs are found, they are fixed, people are happy. don't get too upset about it. this website is just looking for 5 minutes of fame.

[xtreampro_REVENGE]

at least KZ2's online as no glitches, KZ2 has far more effects going on and yet even the online mode in KZ2 dose'nt effect the graphics of the game, its dont even have glitches, this crap ass GeOW 1.2 was all compressed just so they could add one more tree lol and reduce the draw back distance, it just shows the limits of the 360's hardware, the PSN's working fine and smooth even with all these betas running, KZ2 BETA, RFOM2 BETA, LBP BETA, Socom online, no lag at all, GeOW 2 floped the day Cliffy the queer Saved Goew1 in my computer lol

[mll09]

Just goes to show how you Xbots waste your money on LIVE.

[ZILLA]

see that cliff you should of put it on the PS3 to save yourself.

[sleepbox]

A game as big as this will have a patch upon release. Pirates deserve a crappy experience.

[Boink]

I fail to see how these glitches will really affect anything,

number 2, I am playing gears 2 right now and it kicks arse...

[dkgshiz]

Yet its just the servers, which are pretty much fixed now. I would rather play socom then this dumpster diver game.

[Bengoshi-San]

Epic should fix any glitches there are

AND... they should ban the bastards who found the glitches, bc you know they have a modded xbox360, ripping off the gaming community and doing financial harm to EPIC and other gamers.

stupid cheap bastards

[rupi]

lololol killzone 2 is ome shi**y game that only ps3 nerds have ever herd about. gears of war will see sh*tloads more than killzone 2 + gears story and gameplay is just so much more fun. Ps3 nerds won't be laughing so much when gears 2 gets goty (almost guaranteed, there's just no other game that's up to par with gears 2)

[ThatCanadianGuy]

What the f*ck? LMFAO! idiot

[NickIni]

You haven't played Gears 2. You haven't played Killzone 2.

They'll both be great games. Stop being a stupid ignorant fanboy.

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

@PS360WiiRocks
Haha you must have forgotten 360 is a year longer on the market and in Europe over a year.
The disc is not fine, already forgot what Cramack said or what happened with PGR4? ;)
HD movies over Netflix? LMAO can you BUY them or just RENT? ;)
So the hardware get fixed for free so you don't care? LMAO wish you a happy waiting why your games collect the dust ;)
Higher rated games on 360? More games on 360? Higher rated exclusives on 360? LMAO 360 is longer on the market, but already gets owned in the game department. Sorry buddy, but you are still waiting for an AAA exclusive this year, I wish you a happy waiting and next year it will get even worse for you haha oh and this with higher rated 360 games is simply ridiculous, first of all MS bribes reviewers and secondly the games are not tested by the same people, so small differences in scores are natural ;)
Oh and keep defending like there is no tommorow the crappiest system of all time lover haha
And lol what did you say, only import when japanese? lololol that's the funniest lie in your post haha

[GarandShooter]

If this is in fact an issue with the retail version, I'm confident Epic will address it. Still a day one purchase for me.

[devilhunterx]

XB2 DEFENCE FORCE ASSSSEEEMMMBBBLLLEEEE!!!!!!!!! !!!

[rawd]

Hai guise! Who cares if its glitchy cuz it's got a really super cool ending!

I dunno how people actually pay money for this price-stamped steamy turd

[quiquitos]

how can something like this slip past developers isn't that why they have people constantly bug testing games for. We are now flooded with endless patches for games that are just not finished its just getting ridiculous, this is a AAA tittle made by a company that knows what its doing. Sure they can release a patch but what if u have people that have no broadband access what to they do just settle for some half finished game. You may say its not game breaking but it still gets in the way of your experience that you paid £40 for

[na2ru1]

whats next to flop

[slackerr75]

how is it FILLED?
i saw like 3....and theres something called PATCH.
TAKE A SEAT.

[zethos56]

These glitches look bad but there nothing compared to the crabwalking and ninja flips of gears 1. I am a little worried about the long jump but from the looks of it it won't be that useful except for fun.

[kyory12]

whe should buy the gow for playstation 3 that way xbox 360 wont worrie about GLITCES

[majorsuave]

bah. probably an early alpha or beta.
With the massive financial resources available to the dev team, you can bet they will provide a product free from obvious glitches.
Of a team of probably 80 or so playtesters, there can be a bad apple that stole a beta build at some point.
Beta builds for XBOX360 come in the form of a standard DVD ROM and don't have the same security features a retail 360 disc has, hence the modded xbox needed.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Betcha CliffyB's starting to regret wasting his time with interviews instead of MAKING HIS GAME. XD

[habsfan9]

Don't get Gears 2, go for Resistance 2....Sooooo much better
