I have heard of this before, but never had a problem with disc scratching nor any of my friends.... I wonder if these guys move their 360's or set them up too close to speakers or other vibrations ???
However I have experienced RROD unfortunately, which I think is a more prominent & serious issue.
Gears 2 MP is my biggest disappointment, having loved the 1st game's MP so much. Haze & Merc's & Facebreaker & Far Cry 2 = horrid... but I wasn't stupid enough to buy those games, although I wasted a rental on all of them.
Slightly disappointed with MGS4 b/c like Bioshock, after you play it 2 or 3 times, it's rather pointless & offers very little replayability. But like Bio, the 1st playthrough was phenominal though.
The campaign & the Horde mode ARE oustanding...
But it's so depressing that the MP is so flawed on so many levels.
I agree. Sorry the author doesnt like to talk to his friends. I do, & now I dont have to listen to jerks or little kids to do so. Party chat is possibly the best feature of NXE. Lol, we are to busy laughing & have fun to use it as a "cheating tool". LMAO
Yep. I've been saying (some) of this stuff for weeks. I play R2 & COD:WAW now with my friends. Gears 2 MP is a HUGE disappointment. Gears 1 is my favorite MP shooter of all time too.
EPIC FAIL
BS dude. Matchmaking is NOT fixed. Tried this weekend = 1.5 hours & played * 3 * matches with 5 friends. We quickly returned to Gear 1.
Worse connection issues than the 1st game (which was a problem then), & the noob style chainsaw you through weapon fire gameplay sucks. Weapon switching, weapon feel & character movement are sloppy & sluggish as Hell compared to the first game. Try it for yourself sometime.
If you like Gears 2 MP = your a noob wit...
Totally agree. Go play the fluid controls & instant MP games in Gears 1 & you'll want to trade in Gears 2.
Gears 2 MP is trash & broken. No way I will buy any DLC for that game ever, unless they fix the MP... which at this point, seems highly unlikely.
Great job on the Beta testing Cliffy = EPIC FAIL
I'm sick of hearing "Lazy Developers" from the Sony fangirls evertime a game doesnt go their way or someone points out that X360 is easier to program for & has better development tools. These are known facts people = Grow Up & Accept Reality.
It is really amazing. Microsoft should be dead last this gen with the worst games, considering they are the newcomer against Sony & Nintendo.
Instead they'er #2, slappin' Sony silly the 2nd Xmas in a row, with XBL, AAA Exclusives, and the highest attatch rate ever in console gaming.
SWEET !!!
800 M$ points for a broken MP ??? = ROFL
Hey EPIC, why didn't you spend your time fixing the broken matchmaking & arcade noob weapons instead of charging gamers $10 for 3 maps ?!?
This article is utter crap. Health packs ? Please. There is nothing wrong with the campaign of either game.
But Gears 2 MP is completely broken. Arcade weapons, sluggish gameplay (go playGears 1 & you will see *instantly* what I mean), & matchmaking is complete Trash. Epic successfully ruined the best MP shooter this Gen.
Gears 1 MP is still the King.
I agree. I have a PS3 & a 360. I spend FAR more time playing games on 360, especially online MP games. I got a PS3 for BluRay, MGS4, KZ2 & GOW3. However, if I had to choose only one system, like most families, I would get a 360 hands down.
X360 owners buy games.
More Gamers on the 360 platform... numbers dont lie.
Decemeber will probably not be much better for Sony looking at these numbers & November NPD.
Yep. And now you can buy a BluRay player for less than $200 = that alone will really hurt PS3 from here on out. Micro's price point, library of games, developer support, advertizing, DLC, & xbl is killing Sony. Face it: Xbox360 offers much more for less for Gamers... whether you want to accept it or not.
An 8:1 attatch rate = more & more games coming for X360 too.
"Sony sells less than November 2007" = ROFL
Right.
With an 8:1 software attatch rate... there will be plenty of games for the 360 this Gen. There already is... & even DLC for you favorite games if you desire.
Fable2 + LBP + GTA4 = GOTY ???
Not for me. I'd give it to Fallout III since Gears2 MP blew it.
Play Gears 1 MP = smooth as butter, instant matches, excellent weapons switching & feel, stellar controls.
Play Gears 2 MP = clunky controls, slow weapons use & changing thereof, arcade weapon feel & fire, chainsaws walk thru bullets, the worst connection advantages in a MP game ever, & matchmaking... LOL = EPIC FAIL
But the co-op campaign & graphics are outstanding. And the Horde is just awesome.
But for me the MP changes made ...
GIVE ME KOTOR !!!!
