Epic has made me appreciate Bungie

I have played a lot of Halo 3, and one thing I have to say is that I have never ever run into someone using an exploit. I never thought it was a big deal til I played the Gears multiplayer and it is remarkable the difference in competence between these 2 A-list developers. Epic has so many cheats and glitches it is like they put them in on purpose, while Bungie diligently observed the Beta and tightened up any problems.

Kudos Bungie, teach those n00bs at Epic a lesson maybe?

Yeah but what about the glitches of halo 2? There were 100's of those. Also they are still many things wrong with halo 3 also like host spawning and such. I've killed a guy before and then started fighting his teammate while he'll spawn next to that teammate fighting me again before my shields have even started. I've also spawned with my back turned to an enemy so I was instantly assassinated. Halo 3 is messed up without glitches.fries021

To suggest that they put them in on purpose is ridiculous. Yes, there are a lot of glitches, but how do you know they deliberately put them in? Please, next time find evidence to support your fanboyish claims. Anyway, it's the community's fault if they decide to exploit the glitches in game.Chronotime

Here are the reasons for all the "problems" with Gears 1 & 2 multiplayer vs. Halo series multiplayer, IMO:

1) Gears is a much more complex game than Halo, almost all the "glitching" comes from the roll/cover button. It is a much easier system to exploit since everything can be made rigid in Halo since their is not real cover system other than running behind objects or jumping around.

2) Epic does not have Betas...so effectively the Beta is occuring right now.

3) Communities: just because a glitch exists does not mean you have to use it. The only glitch that I have run into so far with Gears 2 that really ticks me off is the shield glitch...mostly people only use it when they are loosing and the people that I play with always give them bad feedback and file a complaint.

I have enjoyed Halo, Gears 1 and Gears 2. It would be nice if Epic got rid of some of the bugs and tightened up the online matchmaking for public matches even more but enjoy the games for what they are.

I agree with the fact that it is the communities fault for using them but they should be removed. In TF2 there's a lot of glitches and i very rarely see anyone use them. In 2fort i never see people glitching to the top of the building. Probably haven't seen that in like 30-35 hours of gameplay.

In my experience with both games, I really believe that Bungie's overwhelming number of giltches very much trumps Epic's. I agree with you guys that Epic is taking their sweet time fixing their game (WTF?) and charging for those three new maps is absolutely ridiculous, but I've only encountered a single digit number of glitches, as opposed to Halo 3 which has demonstrated that if you learn how to cheat in a game, you're going to win regardless. Cheating has become a strategy in Halo, which is just something that shouldn't have ever happened.

Please disregard my profile picture. LOL. I hate the "fanboy" label.

developers don't intentionally put in glitches in multiplayer. If they happen to be in there, then deal with it. Maybe you shouldn't have bought the game in the first place/.jrabbit99
