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.

Thats kind of true, except I find it balanced. Bungie did a much better job with Halo.
Either way the debate is did Gears 2 mess up Gears online, and I see much less problems with Gears 2 multiplayer then Gears 1. It's not the most perfect experience (DAMN TWO PEICERS!!!), but I still love it. I put more hours into both Gears multiplayer then any other game online.

The only reason I say that is because stupid stuff, like mortar shells going through roofs and torque bow rounds killing people without hitting them happens a lot. Everything else is fine.
