Cobb Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Anyone still play it? I just got it yesterday and tried playing online and WOW I was terrible. I think I only got like 15 kills or so and probably like 75 deaths. I'm not sure whether or not I just suck at third person shooters or what but it was bad.

Poe Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I think I have it somewhere. I haven't played in a long time. I don't really think I plan on playing it again. The campaign is pretty good, and there are some nice online modes. Problem is, the servers suck. There is at least a half-second lag on your shot no matter what the connections is. 0.5 of a second doesn't sound like much, but it can mess your whole game up. A lot of people still enjoy the online game despite these problems.. it's too frustrating for me, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played a few levels on the campaign and enjoyed it. Horde was also pretty good. As for online, well, I am not the biggest fan of the ranking system. I quit out like one game and lost so much exp it was not even funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, it's not worth trying to get a high rank, since you won't be getting anything out of it, and you'll move on to a new game eventually regardless. Â Just hit up a few friends and enjoy the online competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I am straight up a beast at that game, not too brag, but I just destroy people easily. I sucked balls at the first game but for some reason I am good at this one. I haven't played since like September though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You suck at first and then after a little while you will be good at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWaLL Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I used to play it, played it a LOT actually and was world ranked at one point. I got pretty damn good but so many other games came out that I just lost interest in it. In the end I just started to dick around with friends online and not try as much.

You don't think people have a right to criticize a game, even if they weren't skilled at it, or play long enough to get any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people refer to the game as "garbage", in other words unplayable or just not worth anyone's time is just ridiculous. There has never been a more unique and original shooter game than Gears of War 1 and 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lagg can give me the feeling that it's garbage at times, too. Though the campaign is very good, especially when you can play with a friend online. The game doesn't exactly last much when it comes to extending your time on it in online matchmaking. The connection is usually too bad to enjoy it, and I have a fairly decent connection, as do most people who play the game and claim they have problems.

Plus the patch removed most lag problems that people had. Right now the game is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 I don't know if they still update this game, but it sucked so much money out of me. I bought every single DLC they offered. Really fun game but like someone said, other games came out and I had to switch it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gears of War 1 was bombarded with the crab walk glitch that completely ruined the game because it was never patched. It allowed you to move at top speed while shooting any gun zoomed in or not. GOW2 fixed most of these types of problems though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted February 13, 2010 Report Share Posted February 13, 2010 GOW2 had the glitch where you can use any weapon while holding a shield very early on. I used it and I thought it was pretty sick lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stopped playing because every time I played you had some mexican kid glitching the game by making his entire team host and by lagging out the entire team. Its sad and pathetic. I don't know what made you say I suck pretty stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
