Well, at least they fixed the stuff. And now, maybe the achievements will get some people to come back after leaving.

But only for the shortest time possible!



So many issues... Many I haven't seen, but am curious...

 Wii: 80-85 Million end of 2009 (1.1.09)

Glad to see the grenades will respawn only after the last one is used. That should help levels like Ruins, Jacinto, and pavilion from becoming grenade camps.



Nice! Never played the multiplayer before, so I won't notice a difference! =P



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I just finished playing some the new GOW2 and I can now safely say that the multiplayer is DOA. The improvments all looked good but they mean nothing since it is now a walking shotgun fest. At least before you could use a variety of weapons to get kills, i'm very dissapointed.

Fortunately I've moved on to better online games COD5 and some halo are more than enough. It would have been nice to have had a good 3rd person online game but apparently it was just a dream.



Well does matchmaking take long still anyway one know ?

^^^^yeah compared to other games. My test games ran over 2 minutes from searching to match beginning. Comapre this to COD5 where it's under 30 seconds from matching to beginning.

How is it any different from before? I don't see any changes in the list that would make the game favor shotguns more than it used to.



I hoped Gears 2 had fixed most of the (multiplayer) problems from Gears 1!

Horde mode is great! Even the Public games are fun.

Matchmaking process is still a pain, too slow and not always equal.

All the other public games are disappointing!

You cannot select which type of game to play!! (vote on a choice of 2 in most cases!)

Multilayer should be renamed to Shotguns of War!

Unless you have enough mates and set-up a private game its pants!
