Just Here For The Pie

If you want to point out a game with a lot of bugs, go play Viva Pinata. :lol:

Any game that is overwhelmingly popular (Dense population of thousands), and played online, will have many glitches founded by hundreds of people.

If you play Viva Pinata you would know that there are so many glitches and they are ridiculous.
My game is currently in a limbo where main character has disappeared and the challenges have stopped. All I am doing is cheaply leveling up.

I've never even heard of that game. Gears 2 should have been awesome, not such a horrible failure. I haven't played online long enough to notice anyone using exploits, the lag + shitty matchmaking is horrid as is. Every game me and my friend played a few days back mounted to uneven teams (5v3 on guardian = fail) when the game actually did launch and sometimes we both didn't even get into the game. There was also an instance where the game was set up to be something like map A on warzone, and when I got into the game it was map B on annex.

PyMS and ProTRG developer

The game is seriously bugged to hell. Its actually ridiculous how fucked it is!

Lol, agreed. I've actually never seen any Viva Pinata glitches and I've played it quite a lot. I haven't exactly looked for glitches though... And Gears 2 is such a failure lol. I still play Gears 1.

:><: I was looking forward to this game. How is the campaign though?

The Campaign is alot more Extensive, however the "Boss" Fights are Epically Retarded and Easy.

Insane Mode is only hard if you are a Noob, and even someone with the basic Controls can beat it.
Multi-player is a Joke, and the Interface is the True Skill that does not actually use your Rank to Jurisdict your Matchmaking
- Basically it works on Points that you receive for Winning, Scoring, and Losing.
- So a Major can still be put in Rank Matches with Privates.
Gears of 2 was released on the Notion that no matter what, they are going to make their Money.
Also, This Game had become ABSORBED in CHAINSAW DEATHS and SHOTGUN "2-PIECES". Try to enjoy at your own Risk.

Glitches Include:
- Shield Glitching with a Shotgun *Player Appears to be behind an Invisible Shield but is using a Shotgun*
- Shield Backflip *players can use the Kung-Fu Backflip off of their Shield* (Lag)
- Smoke Jump *players slam a Smoke Frag onto the Ground and glitch out of the Map* (usually done on River in the Generator Room)


As an Avid Gears of War Fan, I Rate this Game 3 / 10

Online glitches are very common to find, by the way. Especially coming from Unreal Engine.

Lol, yeah no kidding. But the thing is, is that almost all of the glitches in GoW2 are also in GoW1. They couldn't even fix the old glitches...

I've always felt like their was lack of weapon variety. Also, grenade throwing sucked. All imo of course.

What? You had your pistol(s), shotgun, assault rifle(s), grenade launcher, sniper, torque bow, hammer of dawn... And now there's mortars, assault pistol, shields, and um, some other stuff. What more do you need? There's more variety than any other game I know, and they are all decently balanced imo (outside of glitches), well except maybe the shotgun being overpowered.

I'm pissed they fucked up horde. I was looking forward to an epic coop battle. Not really waves but just a constant stream of enemies that continue to get stronger. No reavers? wtf.

So not true in GoW2. It may have been overpowered in GoW1 but not anymore. It's waaay weaker now. And besides, In GoW1, if you can stay far enough away, you can just hip fire lancer and beat shotgun if you're lucky enough.

The Shotgun is actually Stronger. At a 50' Distance one can do equal if not more dmg than a Lancer with a Shotgun. The "Two-Piece" technique is quite better and does not rely a Timed Shot; in fact I would go so far as to say that the Shotgun outweighs any other weapon aside from Incumbrence Weaponry.

Anyways, like we all say, the Game Sucks as to be compared to the Original.

Ehhh, I think the shotgun has way more range, but I still think it's less powerful. Also, the boomshot SUCKS now. You can hit it right at their feet and they won't blow up or go down... And they think that giving you 3 shots will make up for that.
