Well then if the online is broken I dont understand why it received such high scores, since epic touted the online as one of the major aspects of Gears 2(not attacking the game just saying it doesnt make sense).

 

The single player and co-op is so good, that even without online mode, it's a AAA game. I'm not kidding. Gears 1 was the same.

Seems like R2 took the opposite route, concentrating on the multiplayer first.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

The multiplayer setup is almost exactly like Halo2/3. Party up and travel between preset matches against other parties. I personally love it that way.

I am currently playing Horde right now. My teams haven't been to good so far. Only gotten to wave 6 on Normal.

I love the game. Single player rocks. The graphics rock. Gameplay is the first one tweaked to perfection.

I agree. Halo 3 was my fav console mp shooter before and glad it's emulating this setup. I didn't like the multiplayer in the first TBH but this one seems to have a lot more thought put into it.

I dont know haw not being able to choose the type of game you want to play counts as having thought put into it.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

I don't understand why games just don't COPY COPY COPY good online game interfaces n functions.

who cares if your labeled a copy cat atleast the experience is great!

Anyways sad to hear....maybe a patch will sort things out

^^^ Haven't you been paying attention to the thread :)

That's almost exactly what they did. It's very similar to the party system that Bungie introduced with Halo 3.

I could maybe see why some would like the way it was setup before (as evidenced by the OP) but not liking the changes and just making a blanket statement that it is "broken" isn't really accurate. I personally like it but to each their own.

LOL. People don't read I guess.

Hmm, I seems like it's a fun time. I do want to try out Horde.

Can you do that mode with only like 2 or 3 people and the enemies will be scaled to only have 3 people in the match.

I don't play multiplayer games.

The exception would be fighters.

That said, I buy shooters for their campaigns.

That's probably why my "top shooters" list is different than everyone elses.

 

thank you for your life story

The first couple times I played there were only 3 people in the game counting myself.  I am not sure if the difficulty was scaled down or not.
