The Shotgun's nerfed? Thank feck for that! Surely thats a good thing considering its all 95% of players used, in GeOW 1 it had the range of a sniper rifle!

True they should have changed the range, but getting chainsawed while your piling in shottie bullets into their chest isn't very fun.

GeoW1 = Shottie Fest.

Geow2 = Chainsaw Fest.

I didn't see anything wrong at all with the shotgun in Geow 1, apart from maybe the range. It's easy to kill people who use shotties constantly with any other gun.

Yeh I heard about the Chainsaw whoring, cant complain really, 75% of my kills from GeOW 1 were from chainsaws lol. And dodging a chainsaw really ought to be more easier than dodging a shotgun sniper.

And Im guessing friends can only play in player matches, not ranked?

Ranked is now basically like Halo where you can bring up to 4 of your friends to play another 5 people. Or you can have private games like in Gears 1
 
I would rather have my whole screen. But I guess theres nothing wrong with having the choice deny yourself.

How can it even be possible for 2 players on the same console to play without split screen the? Fine, it works for footie games but theres no way you'd get around that in a game like Gears.

yeah, I thought it was a human player before I realised it was a bot...

That's another good add on, the bots...I was in a party of 4 and we played bots on annex was quite good.

What's your gamertag we could link up online a bit later on...
 
Gears of War 2 match-making woes being investigated

By Frank Caron | Published: November 11, 2008 - 09:37AM CT

Xbox 360 owners have been enjoying some glorious, gory action in Gears of War 2 for a few days now. Unfortunately, some gamers playing the multiplayer versus-modes exclusively have suffered from some serious match-making issues, with game waits ranging from 10 minutes to an hour. Thankfully, Epic has confirmed that it is aware of the problem, and the company is working diligently to fix the issue.

Epic let the community know it had received the heads up with regards to the slow match-making on the official Gears 2 forums. Answering the question "Why does it take so long for matchmaking to find me a game" in the Q&A section, Epic's Six Okay let fans know a fix was in the works. "This is an issue that's affecting some folks, and Epic and Microsoft are both looking into it. I'll let you know more details as I have them."

This problem was evident right from the outset. I mentioned how the match-making could potentially leave some waiting for quite a long time. In our full review, though, at the time, I chalked it up to the lack of players. I did some testing overnight, and it seems as though the waits have actually gotten longer post-release; a friend and I spent over 20 minutes waiting for a room. Hopefully Epic and Microsoft can address this problem quickly.

About time they done something... got game straight away, after it finished I tried again and I've been waiting 20 fecking minutes
 
Well I finished this last night and I can honestly say it is one of the best games I have ever played. I really can not rate it high enough, for anyone who doesn't own it- get it. It just sucks you and is non-stop from start to finish. A truly fantastic game, I was absolutely gutted when I completed it. Still, I've always got Red Alert 3 to play now

Is it not possible to connect two smaller sized tv's anyone know?
 
I hate frickin commando players during horde, on wave 30 and all the wankers decide to disperse.
 
Who's got the best connection here?

I'm on bt, bit naf, the uploads running poor on the speed test, download 7k
 
Mine is aright, it's wireless though so I doubt it's the best.

Mozza is pushbar your LIVE tag? Send us a friend invite if you're on
 
Why can't I get my wireless headset to sync to pad 1? Always goes to number 2
