why do I only have lag in Gears of War 2 and not in GTA4 or COD4? Could it be that I have a bad connection to the Gears 2 servers? Anyone know?

GeoW 2 doesnt have dedicated servers. Apparently the lag in the game is caused by bad network coding or whatever its called.

No game on XBL has dedicated servers, save a few. It is just the network coding, don't worry, everyone gets it once in a while.

almost all xbox live games dont have dedicated servers (battlefield bad company and battlefield modern combat 2 are the only ones that do have them as far as i know). the problem with gears is that epic fails at netcode. gears and ut3 are the only games on 360 that ive ever had horrible lag with. other games (halo, cod 4, r6v to name a few) rarely ever lag bad, and it only ever really happens when people from halfway around the world are playing together.

Ya. dont u think microsoft or w.e should use the money they are making off of XBL to pay for better servers or improve the ones they have? make sense wouldnt it? they are making millions off of it too. i kno it goes towards other things, but dont u think they could use some of it to improve them? Thats my oppinion

I agree with you. They should set dedicated servers for the most anticipated games that feature online modes.

Microsoft has nothing to do with the servers that you play Gears of War 2, Call of Duty 4, Halo 3, etc. Each game picks a random person in that lobby and makes them the host.

It's because Epic doesn't know how to make a game.

I just recently bought Shadowrun (great game and underrated, most likely due to poor graphics but in terms of multiplayer, one of the best I have played on 360) and I have yet to encounter lag. Not many people from the U.S. still play public matches so I get matched up with people from all around the world. I've been in rooms with people from England, Norway and Australia at the same time with no lag. If it was any other game, it would've been extremely laggy.

i really dont think that would work. m$ would literally need to buy and maintain millions of servers. and also that takes away the possibility of private matches.

...think of Gears of War as giant boobs, and the internet is a training bra.
