Just call it Gears of War 2 million sold

I don't know if Xbox Live has had anything on this scale before, but good on Mickeysoft for making a system that could support this many players and still work fine.

/Still hasn't played GOW2.
//Wants to chainsaw people.
///Listens to the sounds of heads explode as someone says MS did a good job.

Am I the only one who was very disappointed with Gears of War 2?

"and approximately 1 million players were annoyed by the ponderously slow matchmaking." Come on, Epic-- matchmaking sucked in GOW 1 as well. Get it right.

Only complaint, ranked multiplayer matches take forever to form. other than that, no real gripes.

I'd like to see Epic comment on the total number of minutes wasted by users attempting to get a game online.

Must be in the millions by now.

Ya, good thing they broke a record for people online, or whatever, but we cannot find a match with those millions of people? Is this a joke Epic?

Yay, you sold copies in the babillions.

Now fix the FREAKING lag. When I shoot my shotgun, it should not take 3 seconds for my bullets to hit. Nor should my bullets then hit the ground 3 game feet behind me.

Also, please try less at paring me with 4 gold triangle peoples. It makes me teh sad, especially when my shotgun shoots in reverse.

Well, if my Falcon Elite hadn't given me the RROD 2 days before release, I might have been one of those people playing it.

For now, all I can do is look wistfully at my unopened LE and hope that MS gets its act together enough that I can actually start the repair process this Saturday, 10 days after I got the RROD.

I hate to say it but Halo 3 sold 3 million in its first week.

I'm ashamed to say this but I have still not beaten single player. Just can't bring my self to.

they need to fix the bugs in this game..
sony patches its hard core game why not gears? why was'nt last gears never patched?

could be a higher number than that if it didnt take so long to log into a game online. I just give up on playing online since it takes so long to search for a match.

I love the Multiplayer and the design/music/game play of Gears2. The Campaign story was really disappointing and I am someone who LOVED the first Gears and it's thin story 'cause it didn't get in the way of the fun and the premise was different than what I'd seen in a game before.

What I didn't like about Gears2 was how the story line borrowed from everything. The worm from Dune or driving up a mountain in a vehicle, in search of the entrance to the bad guys lair, like Halo. The outpost laboratory with mutated people was such a sci-fi cliché that it's hard to just pick one movie or game that it ripped off, besides the obvious Halo characters 'The Flood'.

I did love any of the parts of the game that took place in the city, while it was under attack and the scenes about Dom and Maria were unexpectedly heavy and really disturbing, in a really effective way.

I think that the multiplayer has enough in it for the game to have long legs and be played for a long time. Last night I was even playing the training grounds 'Build your own' when my friends were offline, just to get some practice and see the maps. I'm counting the minutes until I get to play Horde again and hoping that I forget that absurd ending. Not since the ending of Alien Resurrection have I been so annoyed at the ridiculous use of monster that didn't fit the design or feeling of the rest of the piece.

How do so many people get RROD in one 'chat' or what ever you call it.. my 360 is on 6 to 14ish hours a day.. in 2 years I've never managed it although I'm on my 2nd console - first one couldn't read discs & they sent a refurb, as I'd bought an Elite while I was waiting, I sold the refurb.. My Elite got close, GPU was 'falling off'... mine is a first wave Elite (Zephyr)

Back to Gears 2.. although I loved the mixing up of the campaign.. some area's felt void of shooting stuff.. I found no problems with the weopons, they felt right.. even the shotgun, with a nice powerful short range.. I've only really played Horde on Live, which is great too maybe it's cause there's less people & I'm in England.. because even Gears 1 felt laggy for me.. I could hit someone 6 times with a shotgun at point blank & get nothing.. same has happened for someone shooting me.. but I found the Left 4 Dead demo worse, a very definate lag between trigger & it firing.. Didn't play Gears 1 much online.. since people seem to just roll&shotgun.. imo, breaking the game..

Gears 1 was patched several times.. one patch was to allow dlc.. others would be major bugs & weopon balancing...
