I have to agree with PearlJam. The Gears 2 multiplayer is terrible, and this is coming from someone who plays it every night.
Is it fun? Yes.
Is it balanced? Hah, no.
Is it fundamentally sound? Absolutely not.
Even without the lag, and there are some things that don't make sense and they happen quite frequently. The hit detection on the shotgun is absolutely terrible half the time. People abuse the melee and about all the kills you see are two pieces. There's also a pretty clear advantage if you're the host, namely, your shotgun is way stronger and everybody else's hardly effects you. My point is a game like Halo whose multiplayer is fundamentally sound makes it look like a joke.
