Not sure how many still play this online.
I loved the co-op and Horde mode, but the multiplayer wasn't so hot.. ofc unless your a hardcore GeOW player.

1.2 - I'm surprised
at this, since I figured epic would be putting on a double experience WEEK once MW2 came out.

I actually wasn't a hardcore player, but lately I've been picking this up, if only to relieve some stress after work. There are some serious issues with consistency since the host usually has god-abilities, but hey.... it's more balanced than the first game.

2 - epic need to take out the host time out button.
this has to be one of the stupidest things ever put into a shooter game. Madden gives you a couple pauses on the clock but epic gives you "100" without a clock. people taking this stupid idea to the "bank" of coruption. i have other games to play now. i might go back to the sp again....

LOL! This game is horrible online. I've never seen such a great game be ruined by it's online component. I traded my copy in 2 days ago. I hope gears 3 will have a MP component that actually is fair to all who play not just the host team. As for the double xp it's good for the hardcore fans.

4 - Its not that bad
Its not that bad online. I think a lot of gamers get their panties in a bunch and try to be overly dramatic about it.
Sure there are issues. But its still fun to play. I haven't played it in a few months. But I was on it a lot when it came out. I might jump on this halloween for the double xp. Although it really doesn't help all that much.

5 - Seriously....
Some of you guys are being to dramatic about Gears 2 being broken still. Maybe some of you guys don't play Gears 2 anymore and assume it's still broken. Since the updates, lots of glithches and bug have been fixed. I hardly ever lag. I mean, you can hop back on Gears 2 and see for yourself that online is not as bad as it used to be... :)
