This is what happens when a multiplayer game doesn't have a beta, even closed beta. Epic should be smacked for repeating many of the shortcomings of the first game's multiplayer. Next time, have damn beta Epic!

1.2 - I agree on the beta thing.
Pretty common sense to have one when your game is going to have multiplayer online. Most of the problems today could have been solved before the game's release if there had been a beta.

But at least Epic is showing continued support, can't really complain.

1.3 - how many....
have resistance 2 and kz2 had? Honestly...why does it matter so long as things get fixed. I aint complaining but those who do, get real.

@below: My point is it shouldnt matter as to how many patches so long as each one improves something the previous one missed.

It was a simple jab at the troll above.

In so many ways...couldn't Gears 1 be considered a beta? Also...just because there is a beta, that does not mean problems will be resolved before the games launch.

Yes, that's what people always said and the XboxFanboys always chirped them for it. Should've had a beta though.

updates are a good thing, whats the deal? damn, some games are released, get one update to fix a few problems and are left to rot. I love how epic continues to improve this game, keep the updates rolling i say. one minor gripe tho, wtf is up with all the horde achievements?

After being in the Uncharted Beta I'm defintely gonna have to say Gears 2 ftw. Nice job on your first try in multiplayer though, Naughty Dog.

Yeah, I'm also happy to have both. Uncharted 2 is going to be amazing.

How typical of a PS3 fanboy though, to act like PS3 games are the best thing ever and nothing else can compare.

There are great games on both consoles.

I think big releases like a Gears, Halo, Killzone, Resistance and Uncharted, games that magnitude should always have a beta to ensure a smooth release but it's good to see Epic are still supporting the game and ironing out any issues the game might have.

The only criticism anyone can really have is that there was no beta, maybe they'll have it with the next iteration of Gears and tbh they should have one.

Can't complain about continued support though.

Epic didn't cook GOW2 long enough and look what happened...the game still has problems...I just stopped playing with it several months after it came out. It's a repeat of GOW 1 but worse. Next time cook the game longer Epic and you wouldn't run into these problems.

Neh, that's not really problem anymore in my own experience, the real problem is and has always been in Geow2 ----> THE LAG. Which is still abundant. Untill that is fixed (never), geow2 will remain one of the worst and most frustrating experiences online to be had. And no Mr. Smartass about to comment, I don't suck, in fact I'm quite good, I just hate the fact that unless you're host the game pretty much is the laggiest I've ever played.

Except when you're host, then you are GOD.

I really like the continued support. I still have bugs, but its not that common anymore. Next time a public beta should be done 5+ months before Gears 3.

8 - epic will not have a public beta because as you can see the engine is glitchie...
they know the game engine would have problems. they know the game could not handle 5 vs 5. if it could of handle 5 vs 5; why was it not in gears1...??? they updated the engine and still could not handle 5 vs 5. gears 2 is actually gears1. where in the fvck is my refund for this dlc game they call gears2...??? epic is taking the M$oft approach. fix it as you go along.. the hell with quality/just quantity and sales receipt. the fat man with the red beard has nothing to say about, when they are going to put back the 20% of content back into the game they took away... (10mp - 2p = 8mp) = 20% lost of gameplay.

They've never changed the net code. If you read any interviews, or have actually used the engine it uses the same net code as Unreal Engine 2. They're doing a complete overhaul for Unreal Engine 4.

when will EPIC release an update to have gears of war 2 a decent game ? why are there games always incomplete and riddled with bugs. seriously though, i like the ps3 exclusives because they often have high production value . i love gears of war but its flipping unplayable imo. why should i play a game and deal with constant lag , slowdowns and glitches when i can play majority of the ps3 exclusives with more people online , better graphics with no such issues.

i will admit that i prefer the ps3 because of more apps, exclusive games and high production quality games but i like gears of war style of gaming but i stay away from it because the online is rubbish .

ps. the talon stands for talented

You are offtopic and nobody wants to hear you slobber over PS3 again in a thread that has nothing to do with it.

Gears unplayable? And PSN is lag free??

That must be a joke.

9.2 - YET
the daddy of current PS3 exclusives, KZ2, so far has had 3 patches itself and the game has been out for only 4 months.

Also, you think there are more PS3 people playing online with SOny exclusives? One look at Halo 3 and the number of people would put that statement to shame. I mean there are usually as many people playing that as R2, KZ2, and COD4 COMBINED. Usually there are more people playing Gears online than any PS3 Exclusives.

I love my 360 AND PS3 but come on, you cant say it is just MS games that have mulitple patches.

I love how every Sony Fanboy screams "EXCLUSIVE!" even tho Gears of War is "EXCLUSIVE!" also.

Its like a sony fanboy HAS to say Exclusive and the game is automatically better in every way. Which it is NOT!

What are you talking about, dylantalon? Killzone 2 and SOCOM both had issues and had to be patched. It's not like the PS3 exclusives are of any higher quality. You need to take off your rose-tinted PS3 fanboy glasses.

Gears 2 plays fine for me. I have no major issues with it at all.

10 - beta testing should be standardized
look at windows 7...they've got themselves a product now that i'll definitely buy.

but betas don't always work...

look at windows vista...they had betas and an rc, and people STILL complained about it. because some people you just can't please, and some people are biased.

i never really had much to complain about gears or gears 2. glitches come and go, just be thankful that they make good on their guarantees. i believe the BBB should ding a company for not participating in open beta testing prior to releasing a game, it's only fair and should help to standardize the process.

after all, that's what good customer service is all about. maintaining an open door policy. look at halo 3, they had hired a whole building of beta testers!

well thats good... its good to see them supporting the game

Edit : Adds the ability to restart Public Horde from the current failed wave instead of having to start over from wave 1. Title Update 4 also allows the host to kick players from a Public Horde session.

Awesome !!!
