Gears 2 Multiplayer Issues

So. I wanted to rant and ask for help and see if anybody else is going through this.

Ok. Gears 2 is fantastic and it has been a wonderful experience thus far.
So when I tried to play against my fellow gamers...
It did not work... I tried every game type... for at least 5 minutes
on each one. More on others. And I never even found a team mate.
What the hell? Well I left it on players choice for about twenty minutes...
until i heard some voices on my tv. I went back to check and i was at the start of
a match! Awesome right? The match was a five against one and you guessed it,
the one person left. So... I do not understand what is happening? I have tried every day since i got it... and no dice.               :-(

Your thoughts? Experiences?

cant quit multiplayer matches and it needs a lobby system

Surviver6386d ago

and i wouldn't know, because i can't get in one ha.
also it kind of does...
like before games and private before you doing anything.

Its unplayable for people outside the US. Needs a region selector in the matchmaker like cod5 or halo 3s good connection setting. waiting 10 minutes for a laggy game that i cant quit is not fun.

My gauge is the shotgun. i fire it a wall and see how many seconds it takes to show the shot hitting. most of the time i can count to 3......

ya i live in canada, and ys i suppose that could be it.
and yes it needs that

My experience has been a mixed bag, but overall not too bad. I have about one lag filled match out of every 5, the game finding is taking around 2 minutes for me (which is still quite unacceptable).
But I agree that there must be something done on Epic's part to ensure that you get into a game much closer to home to get rid of this lag, and in the process speed up the whole procedure.

Me and my friends have noticed the lagg mY NOT BE ALL SERVER RELATED but BY CHEATING players looking to cheat the system! hitting the standby button on there modems! we have had people stand right in front of 3 of us and none of us could touch him and he would saw you even if you had your chainsaw revved up ready to cut him. Why do people have to mess up such great games by cheating!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
