OK anyone who thinks that the multiplayer for gears of war 2 is messed up then they aren't a real gears fan. Gears is one of the more tactical shooters out there. You have to talk with your team to help kill the other because of all the cool unique features that they added. If they were to reduce the time of the smoke grenade stun it would be just as worthless as it was in the first gears. Also the ranking system is OK but yes i do agree that it should be fixed but it does mean that the games is broken because it takes a while to rank up. So to anyone out there who thinks GoW2 is broken i have to say that they are not a true Gears fan.Thinkin2little
I really don't want to keep this thread alive, even though it is only 2 days old. To the guy im quoting, it's not the fact that smokes leave you stunned for so long, it's the fact that the duration is different almost every single time. It's true. Gears was meant to be a tactical game. EPIC clearly stated that before and buffed the Lancer to put more emphasis on cover. But still, there are way too many things they need to fix, and with the new title update ( the third one if im not mistaken) will fix a few problems with the game.
I want to like this game. But for that to be possible Epic has a lot of work to do first. I don't know why this game lags so much more than any other but if they can't fix that they should look into dedicated servers. That would take care of the host advantage as well as hosts using standby. Adding bots to replace quitters seems like a really obvious and reasonably easy fix to me.

Those 2 things are the main reason Gears is broken right now. I'm pretty surethat EPIC is releasing an update soon to replace quitters w/bots, reduce the stun time on the smokes, and make the ranking system XP based so if you quit, it literally is your loss. Now I'm not sure if any of the above thingsI listed are facts, but i read somewhere on the Gears forums about it. I always did wonder though why EPIC didn't just make dedicated servers, cause in some matches i can't go 10 feet w/out being lagged backwards.
While I agree with pretty much all that's said, I don't think the Mako needs better controls. What they need to do is give planets far far less mountains and change them out to flatter land with more scenary or even sloped rolling hills. Driving the Mako was a lesson in frusteration not because it controlled bad but because most of the time you were hopping back and forth over 70 degree inclines trying to find the path up the mountain that works. When the Mako was on flat land I didnt have a problem with it.
Beyond that I'll go with:
1. Space battles does sound good.
2. The obvious variety in side missions with longer more detailed storylines
3. Ability to seperate your squad ala the pc version
4. Better easier inventory management ala the pc version
The bonus: Ability to customize/paint your armor ala forza motorsport.

Im gonna agree with you here. You pretty much nailed everything that needs to be included in ME2.
i killed amstel in COD5 with a pistol and got the achievement on accident.... i just ran out of ammo and shot him with it out of desperation....Ruhdezee
Wow i read that achievement and was wondering if anyone had done it. Didn't try it though. I've gotten a lot by accident, but one that i just recently got was "Skitched Up" in Skate2. Wasn't tryin to get it at all.
The best TV's are deffinately at Costco. I have a 26' Vizio which I got for 450, but now it's 350. they also have a 32' for 450. The great thing about Costco is that if u return anything from the electronics department, they give u your $$ back without any questions asked.
I think there should be a rule that a game has to be hyped or at least have forum wide expectations of quality in order to flop. Everyone has their own opinions, but Flop of the Year... even if you don't own the systems, there should have been enough buzz for you to know the titles. Fracture, Mercs 2, Beast Rider... who was amped for these? Especially compared to something like Haze or Too Human.Senor_Kami
Do you know how much Mercs 2 was hyped? The commercials on that game were like no other. But yea I agree w.u that for a game to be considered a flop, It has to be wanted by people not just some random game. Too Human and Mercs 2 are up there. Some people might disagree w.me on this but I think Fable 2 wasn't very good. I beat the 1st one and just didn't like the 2nd.
Just get Socom for ps3 at Xmas time. Far Cry 2 is a better buy imo. And it's not just because I have a 360; my friend has Socom and I think it's awesome. I just think that FC2 will be better. The map editor is amazing and online looks really fun. The new theme for it suits my liking too: Africa. That's my 2 cents.
