Sometimes I get massive lag issues in gears (only gears) but others I just find the weapons patheticaly unreliable. Sometimes I can hit a guy from half a foot away and nother happens, other times the guy explodes, other times he downs. Wtf?

either your connection is lagging or the host is. It might be a glitcher exploiting the game too. Epic really needs to update their servers. Gears2 lag is some of the worst lag in any video game. It ruins the whole match.

There is no region filtering so you will get matched up international players on occasion. Or if you are outside and far away from the us, you will lag like hell most of the time cause your usually facing americans.

Gears of War 2 is a very laggy game. The last time I played it, I couldn't get into a match that didn't lag. It was very frustrating.

Quiters are giving up so fast...in my opinion Gears 2 has amazing multiplayer + coop second best to Halo 3 or Cod4.....so i bet when Gears 3 comes out you'll be jumping in the bang wagan again !!

I've tried to like that game, I really have. However, it's problems are just too evident for me to enjoy. There is so much BS that happens when playing online that I just can't deal with it. You are right about one thing though, the co-op campaign is pretty damn good. Although, you compared it to CoD4, which has no co-op :?

I sure as hell wont be jumping on that broken wagon. I think it is both the horrible lag and the fact that the game is just horrible in general. If you dont have a power weapon you are infinitly screwed. Even in story mode I encounter ridiculous b/s. Sure, horde mode is great and the co-op story play is fun but there isnt anylasting power in those 2 modes.
