Gears of War 2 Matchmaking Problems Persist

Completely wrong.
There are some glitches with need to be fixed, but the multiplayer is enthralling.

OPEN ZONE is that a way ---->

especially for a guy who doesn't own a 360 and has never played the game.

2.1:

People are becoming more and more tolerant of games being released unfinished and not working correctly.

I can't figure out why.

Don't buy games that don't work correctly and this will stop happening.

@KARMA2009- It's not XBL that is causing the problem, it is something with the encoding in the game. Who's they?

@wanderofys

totally agree. at first i thought it was just the oline and live, then i got to play gears at a Lan tourney and guess what.... even on lan it had the same issues and glitches, then i knew the problem was the network code itself not live or anything else. at that point i stopped playing gears online. to be honest i didn't think they would fix gears 2 and i was right.

whats said is that we should all make a stand and not put up with this crap.... but for everygamer who complains and says these are the problems with this game, you have another gamer who tells you they are being noobs by complaining and just stop moaning and play something else.

what i have noticed about gears 2 is that the people who seem to love are those who could not play the first one so well online or those who could not handle a shotgun fight, now the shotgun is useless they love it. while those who used the shotgun the most in gears 1 seem to have the biggist problem with gears 2.

personally i don't like a lot of things about gears 2... and i could go on and on about what i think its wrong with it, but i simply wont play it.

i don't care how good people say hord is, for me personally the game is a failure, its as big a letdown as halo 3 and 2 were after playing halo 1.

anyway i have moved on. gears 1 was great... untill they started f$T%king it up with updates and it went downhill from there....gears 2 is... well the second part to that > still going down hill.

back to dead space. on my 3rd play through, not even bothered finishing gears 2 yet.

You have got to give it time. From what i have heard, cuz i didnt play Halo 3 when it first came out, had the same problems with the matchmaking. Its new, you have to give it time to find the glitchs then fix them. its been out a month exactly now? give them time to find the problems and fix it, from what i recall from playing Gears 2 the other day i found a Horde game in no time at all

Halo 3 worked great for me when it first came out. Gears 1 had awful issues. I couldn't get into a match to save my life and when I could the slowdown was unbearable and unplayable. I've had the same issues with Gears 2. It took about 2 months before Gears 1 worked for me. Once it worked, though, I became very addicted. I don't know why Epic hasn't been able to get the networking code right, straight out of the gates, but whatever.

From my personal experience, Gears 2's online sucks right now because of terrible waiting times getting into matches and awful lag and slowdown making the game unplayable during about half the matches I've entered. But if I'm being honest, I'm still having the exact same issues with LittleBigPlanet, as well. The only game that I bought this fall that didn't give me online connection issues is Resistance 2. It has actually worked! Since day one.

Why are 360 loyalists so obsessed with game sales? Sales do not equal quality. I've come to the conclusion that 360 fanboys are trying to ignore the fact that LBP outscored every exclusive on 360.

If game sales mattered more than quality, Lost Odyssey would be a better game than the best reviewed JRPG of this generation (Valkyria Chronicles) when in reality, it is by far one of the most mediocre JRPG's ever made.

Why are ps3 fanboys so obsessive period? Quantity doesn't equal quality now does it?

Does Gears 2 and LBP equal each other in terms of quality? No, but that doesn't mean that each game presents it's own share of quality and most of all fun. And if software numbers "seem" to matter more to 360 fanboys and hardware numbers more for ps3 fans, doesn't that make your comment hypocritical either way?

@ littletard: I wasn't talking about hardware sales. Maybe you should learn how to read before you label me as some kind of hypocrite.

How pathetic, surely you can show some decent respect can't you? Anyways, perhaps you have to be told how to understand my comment. It's rhetorical, in the sense that you complained 360 owners worry about sales. Fact is, if you look at past comments, most people on either side argue about software sales compared to hardware sales. So in a manner of speaking, you are hypocrite because Sony fans argue about sales just as much as a 360 fan might. There, hope that helps.

In my roommate's opinion, Horde mode is all that matters. Does anyone else feel this way?

I will totally agree with you here. Earlier today a KZ2 preview from 1up contained mentions of the game not being all that because of minor issues, such as the Helghast having red eyes, yet 1up or EGM made no mention of the HORRIBLE match making in the Gears 2 review. I am not sure if there is a 360 conspiracy or what, but it seems like the 360 titles are getting better treatment for sure.

The multiplayer in Gears 2 is part of the package.
