    gears 2 bugs me!

    first of all...i am horrible and that really chaps my bag.

    second of all. matchmaking! its so annoying! i spend more time trying to find a match than i do playing, and then once you find one you play for a bit and then instead of staying together at the end of a match like a normal game, everyone gets kicked and you have to start looking again.

    am i missing something? is there anyway we can lock in with the people we are playing with?

    the graphics are awsome though!

    Unfortunately its fairly impossible to fix a console.

    Whereas with Gears several patches have been released directed at the match making system and process, I found these to have reduced the matchmaking times tenfold.

    Also EPIC have been constantly, since the release of this game, trying to fix the glitches and immense lag during public matches, introducing CSHD etc. Some more Patches are due sometime between Christmas and February to address the above issues.

    EDIT: TBH I have no problems with the matchmaking process, or public matches. The odd bit of lagg makes it interesting also sometimes annoying but it doesn't stop it being a lot of fun.

    So I wouldn't get the red ring of death.

    I thought about it. The 360 was cheaper by a lot, but it's not worth the hassle. Plus, I'm not home all that often, so XBox Live doesn't appeal to me.

    I know this is a thread about Gears of War though.

    You only got hassle with the earliest models, having so many problems to start off with the later models have quieter fans, less problematic cd/dvd readers and generally any notified problems have been addressed.

    Well my friend has a late(ish) model Elite, and although it isn't stuck in the red ring of death mode, he has gotten it before.

    Blu Ray was something my family wanted, and I am a Sony guy, so the PS3 made sense.

    security, with the laser fence (epic shenanigans)
    iirc we got to level 12 on insane, then skipped straight to level 50 as the last match of the night.
    first attempt, we lasted 47 seconds LOL

    You can't get overwhelmed on Security....

    Try Day One, by yourself with the shield glitch. Man that is fun.

    Best maps to do on: Jacinto, Day One, Security, The new Fuel Depot and a few others personally I like Stasis as well.
