And that's when I'll start playing again. Been waiting for the ranking system to get fixed.

This is SUPER SWEET. Enough with all you haters, GOW 2 is a great game and great multi-player experience.

Is awesome but you know I played GOW1 so much I think it made me sick.

Stiil Horde is the best mode,I think they should focus more in Horde and modes like that even if the game ends looking like a retro over the head shooter...man that would be awesome.

Wasn't the game patched like a month or so ago? Or did THAT patch cause the current problems?

No, and please don't be that guy (a gears hater). Gears 2 was actually pretty damn good and FUN after the 2nd patch. Trust me I hated the shit out of it before it.

When I read the title I thought of the Black Sabath song snowblind. It's one of their less popular songs. Still a great song though.

Bots replacing players that dropout! You forgot to mention that! :) This made my day, hopefully when I go home and get my mail RE5 doesn't ruin it.

w00t March 24! its a date, Gears2! Haven't played it in a while even though Title Update 2 really fixed a lot of my concerns.

Actually, they didn't even talk about the actual Title Update in the post, they just talked about the map pack and the new ranking system, which is separate from the update itself.

TU3 looks like it's going to have a ton of improvements, if developer comments on the Gears forum are accurate. Aside from bots replacing players that quit, smoke grenades will now only down you for two seconds maximum (that will fix the stair glitch), there will be some playlist shuffling, and they're supposed to be doing something to combat host quitting and standby-ing, plus lots of other little stuff.

It should say Lica...because after Cliff Burton died and Justice, there is no Metal in them.

Justice was very good except the hollow bass drum and the new album is growing on me.

About time James stopped the yeeeah after every word....Gods that annoyed me.

So your saying that after Cliff passed away they werent Metal anymore? So i'm guessing songs like Damage Inc. and Trapped Under Ice aren't considered metal? lol

I do agree on on about AJFA. Out of their first four albums, AJFA was the least Metal. But still good.

The new Album is alright but I'm ashamed to admit that it's the same band that brought me Kill Em All.

lol yeaaah! I never noticed those in the studio versions. I know he does it a lot live though.

Huh?

Damage was off of Master and Trapped under Ice was from Lightning...both albums came out b4 Cliff died.

Kill 'em All
Ride the Lightning
Master of Puppets
And Justice for All

That is Metallica...everything else was krap until the new album...the new album is ok, much close to Justice then some of the other krap when James and Lars went off the deep end and Kirk just went along.

My bad, I got Cliff confused with Mustaine. Kurk is a great guitarist but most of the credit for Metallica's songs go to either James or Lars. To me it sounds like he just follows them wherever they tell him too. Just as long as he gets his money lol.

It really hurts my head to hear a grown adult complain about paying for live @ 38 beans a year. That's like 3 bucks a month. Personal opinion. Probably not a big deal for you being that you're on PSN & Steam and all, though.

@Fenix: oh thats my serious face...

@Markez: you have your answer. its not about how much it breaks down to a month, yet the principle that it SHOULD be FREE. I have access to Steam & PSN for FREE, Steam of Course forced MS to drop the fees for Windows Live Gold. if PSN gets its shit together it will do the same to 360 Gold

Chris D, I am waiting with so much anticipation for that day. People have their whinges/gloats about xbl/psn all the time, I don't care about that. I just want PSN to innovate in a way that makes xbl drop the shit and make multiplayer free and if they MUST charge for some subscription crap, make other stuff cheaper for subscibers.

I don't think this day will come soon

Yay....I've been stuck at rank 3 forever. This is all nice and good, but they really have to fix the lag and standby-ing. It's pretty ridiculous. A lot of times, my team loses not from them being better, but because they have a better connection. Very unfair. Also, more times than I can count. we'll be winning, then the host will quit or they'll start standbying for the win. I wish Epic would implement the system from Halo3 where if the host quits, a new one is selected.

The only way to get to rank 4 is to cheat a lot...or at least that's been my experience.

I said the same thing about Halo's system being superior to Gears', but apparently the systems are different enough that they can't actually implement host switching in this update. The developers said on the Gears forums that host switching MIGHT come in TU4 or 5, because it will take a ton of coding to implement.

It's been a long time, but I think I'm gonna give Gears another shot once the update is live.

Those maps on the other hand... I'll pass. I wonder if Combustible will go free, or at least discounted now.

People still play (and care) about Gears 2 multiplayer?

I love the game and the Horde, but they bungled the multiplayer so bad I won't be spending any more money on this game.

Sounds like a good update. I may get back in to the game then. Free maps would certainly do the trick. If they are not free I will likely hold off buying them till they are either discounted, free, or I feel I NEED more gears. Let's hope they get the patch right.

Nice. I've been looking for a reason to get back into Gears and this just may be it. I'm not a big fan of the TrueSkill ranking system (partially because I'm not that good at this game). Always love me some Horde though!

Screw Epic. Instead of actually working hard to fix the problems in their game they dedicate half their resources to ensure that many map packs are released so they can make even more money.

I gave up on this game within the first two weeks it came out, and I camped out for the limited edition. Hrm... when they say public matches do they mean non-matchmade matches? Because if public matches are like the old school lobby system where I can set up a room then thank god, I'll finally get my money's worth out of this game.

If not then shame on you EPIC for getting my hopes up.

i rather play gears 2 over gears 1 becouse well its gears "2" everybody is so mad that gears 2 was ruined NO it wasnt ruined becouse there is alot of people who like it. Why would you buy Game that is just like the previous game? its a whole new "experience", yeah they could of improved it in someways but thats y they have patches and updates. They say the people who complain about gears 2 is the people who get owned. Hey if you really dont like gears 2 dont play it, why are you complaining if you dont play the DAMM game? Play Gears 1 and you will see why they teaked it so much, i mean yeah gears 1 is better in some ways but it was a close combat game, i mean they were even doing it with the Snipers God Dammit, Gears 2 makes you use all the weapons thats y they toned the shotty down.
