Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Gears 2 online problems?

I mean it takes forever to find a team and get connected, then its a lag fest when you get on.

I'm having trouble getting into games sometimes, but not much lag once I'm in. There have been a few instances, but they were heavy firefights during Horde with over 13 characters in close proximity and a Mortar going off so I let them slide.

Just a tad bit of lag here like Onyx said when there is a lot going on. Other then that it runs smooth.



yea for me it takes forevvver to get into a match but once in there is no lag

No lag problems. It does take a bit for the system to find a team, but that should get hashed out in the next few weeks.



No lag for me, either, and I've definitely noticed the Gears 1 Host Advantage has been taken care of this time around. However, there's been a few times where it's taken a good four or five minutes for me to get matched up with a team for Horde. Particularly on the first day the game came out, although I didn't have any trouble with it tonight.

had a little lag on co-op but for horde mode.. everytime I've played this had great smooth connections with ppl.



Its kinda weird because to play horde I never had any problems, got the connection real quick and everything was good, but versus I can wait a good 5min before I get into a match and its damn laggy.



My favorite games for this gen:

1. Gears of War    2. MGS4    3. Killzone 2   4. Halo 3(Underated by many)      5. Mass Effect

the only problem i have is that it takes fucking forever to enter a match
