FourChan Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Ugh, they wanted to update this title but they totally ruined it. Now the active shotgun can take you down 20 feet away. The lag switching is totally messed up, I shoot someone a full clip with active lancer, doesn't take them down, they get a shot out of a shotgun and bang, not even active I am down. This games gripes are really ticking me off. Half of the glitches that were fixed can be redone and everything. Plus the Match Making sucks worse than ever, playing online tonight I had 20 people quit the game and it was all handicapped games, where it was like 3vs5 or 4vs5 I even had a 2vs5 tonight. I wish Epic would do something right, why change the formula? GOW1 was Epic, this games Epic crap now... What's your gripes with this title?

DakidJose Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'd just play some matches until I figured out what works and what doesn't for me to get a kill. I always play with 2 or more of my friends so I rarely get into a handicapped match. Epic didn't fixed everything but they fixed most and it's an improvement. I used to get down from a shotgun a mile away before the update so that's not really new to me but my shotgun sometimes doesn't stop me from getting chainsawed but that number has decreased some what with the update.

jason86586 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Has any one else noticed the lancer no longer lowering when u melee? What i really find funny about Epic is that in the loading screen they have those little tips in the bottom, and from memory, one of them says" Getting hit while revving the chainsaw bayonet lowers it" OH REALLY!!!!!

Sealedanubis Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The worst thing its tha matchmaking system -.- I can sit for over an hour in the lobby without finding a game -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingSlitherOne Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) I don't know if Epic cared or realized this but what most people wanted was not a whole new game. What most people wanted was the same game but a game that we thought was better than the first. The things I wanted to see in the new Gears of War were: New campaign with a great story New multiplayer maps New executions New game modes New characters New weapons We got that, but we also got alot of unnecessary stuff like: New Gnasher, why? New, over powered chainsaw, why? New Smoke nades, why? New movement, why? Rank, why? New match making, why? (Some of them) Ok, I know that EPIC didn't like the shotgun roll, fine I didn't either and that’s why they gave the Lancer the "stopping power". I'm ok with that too, but why make the Gnasher worse and the Lancer better? Sure chain sawing could be fun sometimes, but when you got 30+ chainsaw kills in a match, it's not funny anymore. People online would do anything to get a chainsaw kill and I seriously don't get that. Running through fire and bullet rain wont even stop them from getting their kill. I mean, you’re not good if you got 30 chainsaw kills in one match, you're more like brain washed. Well, new Smoke nades. It's pretty effective in some situations but like the chainsaw it often turns out to be, just annoying. It's always the same thing over and over again: Lets play a match on Gridlock etc, any game mode, everybody is rushing to the sniper tower throws a smoke nade and just runs in with the chainsaw revved up. The Lance got better and the Gnasher got worse, right? But why would you even make the characters to move in slow mo? It’s feels like you’re playing as a fat guy that just turned 70. Haha, seriously: "Take cover or die"… Give me a decent character like in Gears 1 and I’ll be fine. Sure, rank could be nice, but not in this game. I bet you've seen one of these guy with "Rank 5" in some match, some time. Everybody thinks: "Oh god, he must be really good." I thought so to, every time, but no. He and all the other 5 ranked players were chainsaw maniacs. Ranked by skill? I don't think so. Ranked by kills? Yes, but not skills that kills. I'm a rank 4 and I seriously don't care for a sec. The match making is ok, but not as good as in Gears 1. I don't want to play Annex 5 times in a row if I'm going for the Submission achievement etc. If I want to play Submission I would like to able to press: Versus, Public (ranked), Submission and search. And when the search is done I would like to have some matches to choose from. Let’s say I see a Submission match at Blood Drive, but the connection bar isn't that good, but there’s also another Submission match at Stasis, then I, and probably everyone else would pick the match on Stasis.

xEndriux Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I think that every players have a subjective vision of this game and of all games in general The only think that is not good of this game is the lag and all the problems that it cause while playing. Personally what I ask to a game like Gears is to give all the players, wherever country they live, the same behaviour so that a match winner is determined by the player skill and not by other factors. Another bad thing are the glitches, they should release a game without the possibility to do them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFZ Scrubs Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Okay, i don't know if they made the shotgun better in this game. I was playing single player campaign and i was sniped by a fucking shotgun. He had to be at least 50 ft away and he killed me with a shotgun. I was like bullshit! Plus i notice that locust with shotguns don't stop for shit, even if your shooting the hell out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastbornSmudg3 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I personally believe that i only have 2 faults with this game. 1. LAG - Self-explanatory 2. Rank - Means people are scared of leaving it and will leave/do stuff they wouldn't when playing Gears 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR3X Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I really wish they would implement a regional filter or some type of host check, as with any type of lag the game becomes painful to play. I love shooting or bashing a guy only to be chunked without them flinching. The grenade tagging gets ridiculous, especially when you have people spamming tags and hiding all game. I'm glad it takes half a clip to blow one up. The smoke wouldn't be as annoying if it would just stun you kind of like a friendly fire mortar blast does. The ragdoll is obnoxious when you're on stairs or near any type of cover and get hung up on it. The rank idea is stupid. All ranks did in Halo 2 was give idiots a reason to cheat (or quit). I saw 2 rank 4's last night. Everytime I got near the one in Wingman I would magically walk into a wall for 30 seconds and then be chunks, and the other quit out of a team game when we were down in the FIRST ROUND. I would also really like to be able to choose a game type. I do not want to sit through 8 games of Annex to play 1 game of submission (especially with a bad host) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_b1ues Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 What pisses me off is im not the greatist player in the world i no that but if i shoot someone 5-6 times with a shotgun. Hit everytime and nothing happens they shoot me once and im down something has got to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penetration IxI Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 OP looks like a /b/tard. Moving on... The game is alright, I don't get active downed from like 20 feet with a shotgun. Unless I'm actually hurt by A LOT. I can't trust the shotgun in most situations, but the Hammerburst always does the job for me. I can always trust my Hammerburst. The matchmaking is irritating, thus making achievements even more irritating. But it'll all come in due time. So I'm patiently waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Shotgun has improved, but for some reason it still feels alot different from the first one. People are still quiting and not ranking down.

FourChan Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 I think this game is the most epic failure of a story continuation I have ever seen. I think that they should rescrap the update and just fix the glitches like the shield glitching and stuff like that, cause now you can't do crap in a game. The team with the best connection wins hands down, it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodDrunk Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Honestly, I couldn't agree more. Game is really starting to piss me off. I agree.

good ol boy366 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 dang...i haven't even played this yet online, but i've heard that it wasn't so great. my main problem is the difficulty on insane...someone please tell me, how do i kill that last brumak in act 1 chapter 4?! i've probably played it over 50 times now and no matter what i do, i get destroyed...what is the trick?

Illution Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Epic is good at making games, but they honestly don't know how to fix things. I don't know how, but every game they've made is good until they try to fix it. Gears 1 > gears 2. Gears 1 was fine but what did they try to do? fix everything in gears 2 bleh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tremberz Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The reason people are glitching, lag-switching and quitting is because of the stupid rank. People think that the little icon next to their name means something, although it doesn't. I myself am a rank 4 although I don't leave games when losing or glitch because I don't care about the rank, it proves nothing. I think if Epic removes the icons then people won't leave as much. Also, they should open public player matches like Gears 1 where ranks and stats don't get effected and its just for fun, and people can leave and join half way through if they like. Most people would enjoy player matches far more as there wouldn't be a lot of lag, glitching and quitting won't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
