The gears of war 2 video on IGN the guy flat out tells you they're not going to fix this shit.

[Anirak1337]

Well that's disheartening. I sold my copy of gears for this reason hoping that it would be fixed in Gears 2. I will certainly check out that video on IGN.

It's so true man. This is the reason I stopped playing Gears of War. I'd play Call of Duty 3 and have a blast, then decide to give Gears another shot and just get pissed off.

Unfortunately I don't think they'll add client-side hit detection. There was a +50 page topic on the Epic Forums about this a few months ago. Epic never responded. They just closed it.

Oh well, Halo 3 is about three weeks away.

[Anirak1337]

I'm the one who started that thread, and you're right they didn't respond.

I remember back when I first saw this,and I didn't know what 'host advantage' was until this video pointed it out. Everyone,including myself wanted CSHD. Now it seems,everyone just got used to the 'host advantage' and even compensates for it vs. a host. How the times have a changed.

[Anirak1337]

Eh, I stopped playing the game to care.

[pyrocide2k6]

And Tool for the win.

the guy playing is probably a noob....he sucks bad....and the lag he shows is pretty nothing special...im from germany and my bullets usually need 3-5 seconds(!) to hit even though i have dsl 16000...just shitty american host fags....but well in gears 3 i raped all those american dumbfucks...4,2 kd

[Hawkisnoob]

It's Xbox Live I never lag on the PC but on the Xbox it lags 40% of the time and I am not the only one.

[Hawkisnoob]

Obviously it's an unfair advantage it might not be the players fault but it still unfair.

[thahat]

you must have one utter suck connection m8,

or the guy that hosted on your off-host XD

must have been red-bar, in matches with that kind of lag, i leave instantly.

[hottopfade]

I think the bullet is an UE3 engine issue. Both Vegas games had the same off host bullet lag. GoW2 is a rental for me. If they fixed the multiplayer I'll buy it.

that first lancer clip is shocking

[juggalosticker]

Couldn't have been said better man.

[GameReports]

okay man if its trash how come it made millions maybe billions because people only play the online?

Second question.. why the hell did you even comment if you dont like the game?

Dumb comments and Dumb people..

[madmandragon]

NO!!! What are you talking about mout he said that there goal is to optimized optimized optimized! So that can't even tell who host is anymore

[madmandragon]

This game is trash for online it's too sad.
