Taking aim at multiple glitches in Gears of War 2

Lets hope Gears of War 3 is Big, Better, more Badass...er

I agree to, I stopped playing online because I was getting so frustrated everything just made me hate the game. However it is a "great" game. Like pretty stupid girl, yeah hanging out with her is great for a while then you just can't take it anymore. So until she grows up you can't stand being around her.

Yeah, It's a pain in the butt to play this game online . I put it on ebay as soon as I beat Horde mode. $45 ain't too shabby.
The best thing about this post is that there are no fanboys or others posting about how the game is fine or plays well online. Yeah, It's hard to say this game is not broken when faced with evidence like this. I suppose Epic will still claim that this is limited in scope.

Yeah, this Gears of war 2 has big problems. I have a new Xbox 360 all games but this one plays fine. This game keeps crashing with "unreadable game disk. Please clean " Nothing wrong with how clean the disk is nor my console. This is the 2nd game CD I have and both of them do the same thing. I think it's just a programers software glictch. You and stumble throught the game if you keep restarting it buy who needs this hassle. Wish I knew who to contact at Epic. Like to give them a piece of my mind about being ripped off for the cost of the game.

hmm i only play horde with people i know personally. much more fun, no whiny people.

and yeah ive never had any mystery drops in that mode alone.

No, it's just you.
And who plays Horde with people who aren't on your FL?

That happens to me all the time. I got to 21 and was disconnected. Another time we got to 26 and two people disconnected and the exact same time. That's not intentional. Pisses me off. And the lag. I was shooting the wall with my shotgun. No bullet holes until 2 seconds later.

Yeah, EVERYTHING! in this game is Far from flawless, in single player you have to put up with IMO the worst vehicle missions (namely everyone except the brumack) implemented in a big title game.

As for horde mode, it is the same 10 waves 5 times, give us a boss or something each wave...however to complain about what is there. It is almost impossible to play horde mode without people on your friends list, have it so you can join a on going Horde, also if you die right away, you have to just sit there so boring. Don't know what Epic could do about this, but still all the more reason to quit when you die.

to play horde, I usually have to take it public, I only have 6 people on my friends list as I only add people I know, only 2 own Gears 2..

the AI is flawed that it can fire sideways, sometimes backwards, even in a local MP game, this is where I saw definate proof, also AI teams outright ignoring each other (even the AI's toggle aiming was aiming off in the distance..), and it is really stupid you can't join a horde game in progress, I'm only as far as round 17... and then there's the magic shotgun, in your hands it can take 6 shots to take someone down, put the AI just needs to be 6 feet away & your in pieces..

Then, remember that damn stupid checkpoint coming up to the first Theron Guard encounter of the first game? there's more stupid checkpoints in this game.. currently at 'Maria' on insane.. Dom leisurly gets swarmed by wretches, while I need my head down for the riders/boomers, while getting attacked by wretches Dom ignored..

Gears 1 is definatly the stronger experience, although the sequel has some good features, bugs really mess up the lacking story.. reminds me a bit like the Matrix/LotRs trilogies, where film 2 was lacking.. - but it worries me that this is the direction he wants to take Gears, less of 'just shooting Sh*t'.. well thats all I want to do.. the game just feels less for trying to be more..

I think the smoke grenade is in a league of it's own for glitches and down right online experience ruiner.

As for submission, either make it easier to win or put a time limit. Those game take forever, and that is why nobody votes it.

How much did you get for it?...you know since Epic is buttholes, and put the flashback maps as DL content to kill the resale value.

It sold for $44 last week on half.com. Apparently people don't care too much about the map pack DLC code.

Why is it whenever someone doesn't like a game they can't stop at "hey i don't like this" but instead think there opinion>anything.

Every time a game gets bashed you're guaranteed to see one of two words, in this case both: Generic or Cliched.

"Every time a game gets bashed you're guaranteed to see one of two words, in this case both: Generic or Cliched."

It's all relative, SadisticHam. Give them a couple decades and their tune will most likely change to something like this:

"When I was growing up they made quality video games, about interesting things; like space marines!"

Maybe by then they'll learn what the word archetype means too.

So now we can't criticize a game for being flawed? We just have to accept it? B.S. If we don't make them realize that they've really buggered things up, then they won't bother to change anything and just continue their bad behaviour. You don't reward idiocy and failure, you reward a company for doing well. Epic failed, so they have to deal with it. I'm not going to give them champagne and roses when it wasn't at all earned.

so you're telling me that Gears of War 2, which won GOTY on this very site, was a completely flawed game? I never said that you can't criticize the game. I'm just saying that if you think about it the same glitches were present in Gears 1 and nobody was saying that that game was completely flawed. I'm saying that they will fix it you just have to be patient and constructive. Not bitchy.

If "the same glitches were in Gears 1", I think people have the right to be even more pissed. They had them fixed in the first one, why (and how?) reintroduce them? Not like they tweaked the engine OR ANYTHING in the game very much.

The reason more people are pissed, is that they already released a F***N map pack, before even addressing there were issues with their game.
All Epic can see now is MONEY.
