He's he is a an anthology literary collection.

Naw, I'd say it is much more of a problem directly related to GoW2 rather than the Unreal 3 engine. Unreal 3 being used by a shit-ton of other games, many of which are very stable when it comes to this kind of thing.

If this were an engine update, every game would be getting an update that used the engine.

This is a TITLE update. Smoke grenades, maps, weapons... these are all Gears of War specific (i.e. TITLE specific).

Horde mode is OK but it's the same shit over and over every 10 rounds. I know that can be said about ANY of the multiplayer but it really is.

For some, the 5 vs. 5 mode is just a complete clusterfuck, and I agree, especially when people are stacking the teams or you meet assholes that thrive off the misery of others (and they're on your team).

I suggest trying the Wingman mode. I've been playing GoW2 since launch and only in the past 2 months have I played Wingman and now, it's the only mode I play.

5 teams of 2. It's a LOT more intimate (yeah, I said it) and team oriented. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 vs. 2 is just plain fun as shit, ESPECIALLY if you communicate with your teammate.

Give it a try keeping in mind that some of the BEST people play this mode, so don't get discouraged without giving it a try!

Gears of War 1 (4TUs), but I guess it wasn't as mega-hyped as its sequel.

I'll be honest, something tells me had the game not been hacked (if you haven't seen the results of said hack check it out on youtube, its ridiculous) then I doubt we would see another TU for this game.

Halo may not get TUs, and yes its core gameplay functions way way way better than Gears, that game is still broken as far as a competitive multiplayer.

No, it definitely isn't. I'd love to give you an example, but I can't think of any. So for now, you're partially right. But I remember games that were horribly broken that I bought b/c of previews.

I get extremely frustrated when I play Gears 2. It's unlike any other game. I always feel like everything I can never do what I want. The changes from Gears 1 to Gears 2 are just too much for me. I used to play hours upon hours of Gears 1, but in Gears 2 I can't play a single round without regretting the decision.

It's sad because I absolutely loved Gears 1 and I though Gears 2's campaign was awesome up until the storyline dropped off after Dom finds his wife. I want so much to like the game, but I just can't enjoy it, no matter how hard I try.

Honestly? I'd wait for TU5 to fix your Xbox there, Jung.

go buy a new one... you should get the mw2 one... or actually post in a help forum

also maybe try blowing out the dust in your xbox...

then i'd have to wait til Nov 12th? WHACK! if I shipped it off now how long do ya think it'll take to get it back to me?

wait....wait...........WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE............THIS MEANS NO BRUTAL LEGEND FOR ME????.............OH GOD WHY NOW??????????

Try one of those DVD cleaner disks? If that doesn't work, open your 360 take out the optical drive, hook it up to your pc, use jungleflasher to grab its key, order a replacement drive off ebay or just any other online replacements store, flash it with the original drive key, insert back into 360. BAM! problem fixed :)

Or send it back to MS (if your still covered by warranty) and wait a few weeks lol

my life is over.

the repair isnt covered under warranty or the RRoD program so it probably wont be free. call 1800 MY XBOX and keep talking till you get a supervisor that will approve a repair for an unreadable-disc drive error for less than the standard $100 fee.

i got my disc read error fixed for $50 a while back. you can fix it yourself but its risky if you connect to xbox live a lot: the system might think youve modded your console and theres a chance your xbox could be banned from XBL. permanently.

$50 isnt free but its the cheapest option you have. good luck.
