Gears of War 2 Thread: FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN!

I think we don’t know yet, either that or one of the “reaserch” items or whatever they’re called might talk about it. Seems to me like there’s going to be a gears 3 though, especially cause of what happens after the credits.

While the dialog is bad/hilarious, the plot I found to be moderately intresting, as little of it as there was. I want to know more damnit =/

GG’s Rextacy and BNRaisec!

ill probably be playing in an hour or so, anyone down?

Sorry 'bout ditching ya’ll like that BNRaisec, but a friend on mine who I hadn’t seen in months got Live back.

Immulsion = Phazon?

Feels like imulsion is it’s own entity since after that one lambent died the imulsion left it and went to another one. I could see why the queen would want to get rid of that if that was the case. Won’t know for sure till Gears 3 though.

On a multiplayer note, I never really experienced too many chainsaws but today I managed to get some territories in which has infinite respawns and I experimented. One guy charged with his saw revved at a teammate and even though I was shooting him with a lancer and he was about 10 feet away from him he didn’t even flinch for about 5 feet or so. 0.o That’s crazy and really needs to be patched. At least I know what you guys are talking about now.

beat the game tonight
the story is retarded
it was as if gathering storm never existed it was so irrelevant
stupid cryptic mgs ending FTL as well

its ok cause it still is undeniably fun as hell, and it has cole train

Cole Train and Baird FTW. Next game I want Cole to fuckin tackle locust queen

Locust Queen: We must rise to the surface my children! Keep fighting! Keep F-ooaauggh! gets blind sided by Cole and taken off screen

Cole: WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Know why I <3 GoW2 MP?

BUCKSHOT IN THE MOUF!

That is all.

Carmine is rookie of the year though.:wgrin:

LOL you gotta feel sorry for Carmine… my mate and i didnt want him to…

we were making comparisons to Carmine saving private ryan for GOW 3:rofl:

It’s all good, GG’s to MaidenMasha as well.

For the record, I hate the matchmaking shit. Last night was a bust…

Got people on, played about 3-4 rounds on Day One (nice stage); got slaughtered. There was NO lag at all, had ppls from SRK (I think Sc00t and Zoolander). Both of them dipped afterwards.

Went public to pick up some people (needed one) and that shit was laggy as hell. I upped and left after the first wave. One dude killed everyone (who is probably the one lagging everyone else)

So then Onyx comes up (sup man) and we wait…and wait and finally get a game going. After the first 2 waves I am walking by myself and everyone drops…Fuck they need to fix this shit.

^Glad to see I’m not the only one seeing people get randomly dropped from servers.

My experience tells me it depends on who the games server (randomly) selects to host the game. Definately a fixable issue that needs fixing.

It randomly picks? I thought if I host then I am the host?!? I’ve ran games with no lag at all with SRK peeps, but when you get that random person (now that I look, I think they were from England!) it goes to shit:mad:

I was playing for a while last night too and two games dropped before me and R l C were actually able to finish a couple games. We were thinking that maybe it’s like Halo were the server picks a random host and if he or she starts lagging or drops out then the server fails or something like that.

New tactics discovered by R l C and myself:

Kill Steal with Hammer
Hammer Counters Lancer Chainsaw
Aim with the Shottay
When you are down, crawl to closest possible enemy and wait to be revived in an attempt to KS some more.

:tup:

Yes, in Public matches the server randomly picks a host. You can’t have two hosts in a game. Essentially when you host a room and search for games, your competition is doing the same thing. When a party is finally connected for a match, there can’t be two hosts.

GOW2 is besically running a matchmaking system that mimics Halo 2’s. The reason why it’s hard to find games is because people are searching for games with teams of 3-4 and so on. The problem is other people are doing the same exact thing. So it takes so ong becasue the server has to find you either two single players or a team of 2 people.

With Halo most people would jump on and just start searching for games by themselves. That’s not the case with GOW2. So for now the best wa to get games going is by searching by yourself or searching with a 4-5 man team.

This only works once. :rofl::rofl:

GG’s to Mr.Noodle, finally finished Horde on Hardcore. :woot:

Demon Hyo: Sorry about not replying back dude, I had a full group and couldn’t “pause” to reply back because I was playing splitscreen with my brother haha.

Yeah gg man. I still need to do 29-48 on horde though lol.

I really liked the multiplayer game. We played as a unit and pwned the other guys. I’ve only been playing gears for 2-3 weeks and look forward to improve my game with you guys.

well hopefully this weekend we can all get some games in.
