[QUOTE="Xero319"]Yup, smokes nades have essentially killed the territories game type, with the exception of Submission....maybe. The other thing that gets me, is what did Epic think was going to happen when giving smokes knockdown power. Its just another way for an unskilled player to pick up random kills....throw smoke, run to downed enemy, rev chainsaw until enemy stands up, chainsaw enemy, get splattered by another enemies shotty, rinse and repeat. Cliffy probably put that in because he was sick of not getting any kills in a game he masterminded......rrandolph

lol, what? You guys know we're really discussing a flash bang that emites smoke right? I can't believe there are like 20 ppl here saying a nade shouldn't knock you down. Huh? If you walk passed one in real life you would be on your butt quik. lol Dude if you walked passed one in real life and that thing started beaping you would probably jump outta your skin. You wouldn't just stand there with your hands over your eyes like the mod said. lol I mean you do agree you would be disoriented in some form correct? Whether you standing up or on the ground I don't think really makes a difference. You gonna get chopped up or shot with the shotty as soon as you come back anyway.

Actually, your wrong, in a couple ways at that. Go ahead and pull out your Gears of War 2 manual and check out page 6. I think YOU are the only one discussing a "flash bang. They call it "smoke" in the book......not flashbang. Was it a flashbang in Gears 1....negative. And it simply doesnt fit in this game.

Oh, and another thing? Why would you even try to compare "real life" with this game. Its not COD dude! Its not supposed to be realistic in ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM....If i walked by a flashbang in real life it probably would knock me on my a**, but you know what, in real life, yesterday, I hit a brumak with my truck and then veered in to an emergence hole, got out, and was immediatley downed by a "SMOKE" nade, and then chainsawed by some noob theron, but then I respawned because I was playing Guardian.......IN REAL LIFE.......:roll:

I wonder how much of you liked a new multiplayer :)

I'm veteran of Gears Of War 1 and this what I saw in GoW2 shocked me totally :/

Dynamic has fallen totally , shotgun doesn't have his old power :/

U can't play a map what u would , and u can't play a mode (Execution etc.) as well :/ this is weak ... really really weak ...

New maps are also not so interesting like old maps ... I came back to my favorite Gears Of War 1 and I left far far behind GoW2 Multiplayer.

I couldn't stand this lame smoke grenades , lames with lancers and chainsaws ... AND disastrous lags , now U can't even see from which country is host ...

I'm new multiplayer Hater and You ??? What do u think about new multiplayer in Gears Of War 2 ???

1, The shotgun is still as strong as ever, you just have to aim with it now.......

2. So basically your mad because YOU cant play the game and map that YOU want to play. Forget about the other 9 players in the room??? I bet your one of those people that leave the game immediatley after everyone in the room votes for Execution, and your the only one that voted Guardian????

3. Smoke nades are crap, smoke is fine, knockdown is garbage

4. Chainsaw is garbage simply in the fact that you can rarely knock it down anymore......THAT IS BS

5. I dont lag that much, unless the host ISP is Kmart or something random like that

While I do agree, the invisible glitch and the shield glitch are supremely homosexual, you and I and everyone else knows that it will be patched. And for what its worth I have only seen the shield glitch one time and I have never seen the invisible glitch, so considering they have both been on Youtube for weeks now, they really arent being used all that often.

And to all those that STILL have problems with the matchmaking.....stfu....since the last update, it has worked flawlessly ( for me anyways) as there is never more than a minute in between matches, no matter how many people we have in the party. So if you still have problems with it, I suggest you take it up with your ISP, not Cliffy B. And dont tell me its not your ISP, its the game, because like I said, it works just fine, or are you now gonna tell me that it only works for me?:roll:
