I really want to play Gears of War 2, I mean I really want to go back. I had it at launch but I quit playing cause the online was so bad. I mean I was just fed up and one day I said '**** It'

Is it fixed now? Is it quick?

Thanks.

I tried it after the most recent update and it still takes me a while to find a game and most of the time i get kicked out of a game, everyone says its just my connection but I never have an issue with either COD or Halo

It is fixed in terms of glitches and stupid cheap tactics, but it still takes a bit to find games sometimes.

Depends on what you mean by fixed. Actually after the latest Title Update 3 things have been MUCH MUCH better. They added a standby detection, so now if you standby you get "0" XP and host IP banned. So cheating has SUBSTANTIALLY been decreased. Other than that people always try to find a way around that, so now they add large amounts of lag to the room to keep you at a disadvantage. Now there's the ability to rank glitch so people abuse that by coming in the room with a 100 rank which is the last one with the wings and star (as if rank glitching shows their real skill..lol nubs!). Other than that everythings fine and dandy :) Oh yea, the most of everything has a delay on it including the mellle when running or rolling.

no, the game is worse due to the newest update, they turned gears into a slow paced boring game that punishes you for rushing an enemy. they added a 2 second deley when you come out of a run or roll so you can not shoot or melee for 2 seconds.......it's garbage.

TC, interpret that in a good way: there are no noobs to rush you and use the cheap two piecing tactic. People like them ruined the game.

Shotgun duels are still present, I wish everyone used lancers and cover actually had real value in multiplayer, but regardless it's fixed and it's worth playing, just keep your shotgun out and make sure to aim :D. Matchmaking can be slow, but you can defidently be paitent (unlike last time, because it used to be sooo slow).

Give this one final try, and the new map pack is great (Snowblind, NOT combustible, combustible was a terrible map pack).

Is everything fixed? nope, not yet.

Is it better? It's much better.

Every one that quits gets replaced by a bot, it's harder to "2 piece", you can't fire up the chainsaw during the rodyrun anymore (both have a delay), new ranking system.

Some complaints: There's still lag and random disconnections at times (not nearly as much as it used to be though), still takes some time to find players (again, not as long and as much as it used to be), some glitches not fixed yet.

You're being serious? man, that took the best tactic away from this game, roll around a corner, aim and shot to the face.

This will have to be my next game to get. The complaints of online sort of stopped me from getting it, but this is reassuring :).

new xp and level system is better .. faster to get into games and also bots have been added when players quit or loose connection so the teams have even ammout of players but the bots are pretty useless.

I've played with friends alot lately and it seems pretty fixed since the last update. I didnt touch it before that last update because of all those damn glitches that were constantly being exploited, but now i play it on a regular basis. Definitely play it with friends though youll have more fun.

Ha, I agree, only ones complaining about the update are the massive two-piece ****! One of my friends said they would stop playing because of the update.

Yeah it's fixed. Chainsaw lowers, hardly any standbying, two piecing doesn't work as well, smoke grenades only keep you down 2 seconds, and they aren't a ton of glitches. Anyway who hates on it stilll either sucks or only used the shotty in the first Gears and haven't learned how to use the new one. I one shot people all the time so the shotty definitely doesn't suck. The game is more balanced than Gears 1, the only issue is poor level design with some of the original maps on the disc. The DLC maps are way better.
