Gears of War Multiplayer Problems - Where is everyone?
15
Joystiq.com are reporting that they and other users are having problems with the new multiplayer maps that were recently released for Gears of War. They said that normally "tons of games" would be listed when searching for multiplayer games to play but that they were only finding one or two. The Gears of War official forums are cited to back up their claims.
They've e-mailed Epic Games for an answer and are currently waiting for a reply. Judging by some of the comments made by readers of the article one of the possible reasons for the problem could simply be that not that many people have bought the new maps and are waiting for them to become free.
Until an official response comes from Epic though, there's no hard evidence for what the source of the problem is.

Yeah network reasons seem the most logical cause as people who commented on the Joystiq article also talked about similar problems with other games.
Hopefully Epic will sort this out soon and the gamers will be able to get back to their gaming. I haven't got the new maps but I might have to go and check if regular multiplayer is working OK or not ...

actually it seems to be a LIVE wide issue... I have had issues with COD 3 and other games, ranked games are the only ones that seem to be affected.

7 - I've noticed something too.
It's not that you cant find games with the new maps, its that you cant find games period. That's exagerating now. But normally if I search for a rank game with any type and round number, I'll get at least 7, usually more listed. But after downloading the maps the most I could find was 2. The matches themselves are fine, but it the search results are just poor.

i personally think its mostly network problems, i sometimes cant find my friends matches unless i go to there profile or they give me an invite, saying that, its annoying when im searching for a ranked match which a friend has hosted as you cant join ranked matches by viewing there profile, but i can say i and alot of my friends have brought the maps, and they ARE worht the little 800MP (which comes to somehting like... well 1000 costs about £7 so you do the math. the gameplay is excellent, and the maps with the having to switch things off to do stuff makes it much more interesting and i love it =D
