Lag-About 70% percent of the games I play my whole team experiences lag so bad that it's not even worth trying.
The new maps suck-The new direction with the level design is awful. There are no maps with a power weapon on each side. They are all in the middle of the map, which means that the least laggy players always get them. You don't get to have sniper or torque bow duels anymore. Thanks god they included canals.
Weapon swapping-Switching what weapons are on the map is completely unbalanced. Example, on subway the cog always get the torque bow and frag grenades, while the locust get mulcher and sniper and poison grenades.
The Chainsaw-When somebody revs the chainsaw and ealk at you form ten steps away and doesn't get stunned when you shoot them. How are you supposed to defend against that?
All the weapons are useless without using the sights. You can't hit anything with the shotgun without pulling up the sights first. Doesn't that ruin the purpose of a shotgun?
Grenade tagging-Planting grenades in a wall is a cool idea, but it sucks in practice. It always ends up with a guy or two hiding in a room protected by planted grenades.
Smoke grenades-This idea I am okay with, but the distance to get knocked down by one and the duration of being knocked down is too inconsistent. It also takes too much to blow one up if you know it's there. one shot with any gun should do it. Good luck blowing one up with the lancer or pistol.
New Maps-I bought the new maps 2 days ago and have not seen one yet. WTF?
I could go on for days. I loved Gears 1 online. I am completely disappointed with gears 2 online, though I do love hoard and the campaign. The problems with this games' connectivity and balance are what's causing the game to slide.
