Seriously, who else is fed up with the unbelievable lag that is called Gears of War 2? Not only are half of the games extremely laggy, but there is non stop glitchers, and people who use lag switches. Im actuallly done with playing Gears 2 until they decide to update at least the stupid lag. there are so many things they could patch but the lag should be their number one priority. who else agrees that the lag is just too much and various other glitches are keeping Gears 2 from being fun? Note: Im really just talking about ranked matches, private matches are fine because since their are no cheaters in that its actually fun.

I heard there was an update coming out soon that fixes most of the glitches. And yes, there is a lot of lag, more than the first Gears in my opinion.

They gotta fix the two-piecing in some way, it's getting on my nerves, and everyone else too.

Yea that game was shipped when it clearly has exploits...i look at a company like infinity ward...who wont shoot for a RELEASE DATE...EVEN THOUGH THEY MADE SO MUCH $$$ OFF THAT CALL OF DUTY 4....but with there passion to even push a ONLINE BETA...showed how much even a THIRD PARTY GAME CAN DO...i recently just started playin Gears 2 online again...i def feel its still action packed and rewarding...But Glitches, exploits, and ONLINE ISSUES AS WHOLE makes a great game FEEL SUBPAR..and I'm not alone i believe...makes you shy away from it...

I fell in love with Horde mode right from the start. I just recently started playing Vs. and I will say this....it needs to be fixed right away. It makes the game so fustrating, if its not host advantage your just lagging so bad that you might as well just stand in the middle of the map with a bullseye on your face. I gave up on it...I go back every now and then to play it. Its just broken, horde mode is great....other than that, I'll just have to spark up matches vs. bots.

Yeah, the lag is pretty terrible in the game. I love Gears of war 2 and all, but the lag in the "multiplayer" is so dang terrible man that it isn't funny. Atleast it has CO-OP Campaign and Horde mode to keep me busy before the update. I think games like Halo 3, COD World at War, RSV 2 or basically better multiplayer games.

I agree, but I gotta say Left 4 Dead is the best multiplayer game out right now. Unless you just want some team deathmatch action.

I was enjoying the game a few weeks back. I had almost no lag and there were no glitchers (at least on most matches). Now, since last week I've been having matches plagued with lag and glitchers seem to be everywhere. I'm starting to get tired of it but hopefully the upcoming patch will fix some of this.

I absolutely agree. When the first Gears came out, it was a good multiplayer game. The lag was minimal as was the host advantage. That all changed with the first update. Since then Gears has been a lackluster frustrating multiplayer gaming experience. I was hoping Gears 2 would fix those issues, but it didn't and in some cases it seems even worse. I quite playing both games altogether and will never buy another Gears game.

I'm hoping it puts an end to all these issues as well. It was fun for the first few days and then it slid down hill really quick.

Wow, there has never been a post like this before! I thought that they added lag as a bonus mini-game. Also, if you are entertained by the waiting-in-line-for-a-match 20 minute mini-game in GeoW2, i would also suggest checking out the many wait-in-line-till-you-crack mini-games in PlayStation Home. I do so love waiting in line!

Come back to the first game, we would love extra people to pwn since there used to waiting an extra half-second to shoot the shotty.

im so tired of the lag, and glad you posted this. its sad that i feel lucky when i fire my shotgun and it registers right away. not only is the lag bad, but it takes WAY to long to find a freaking match, seriously they need to fix these issues before the game dies.
