I'm not happy about execution rules on Annex either...
Still fun though.
Gears of War 2
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Nov 07, 2008
Join Delta Squad once more in the fight against the Locust Horde, in this "bigger, better and more badass" sequel to the 2006 smash hit.
Gears of War 2 Gets Title Updated (Again)
One of the fixes was this:
"An issue where bots were unable to kick over a shield that was planted backward"
AHH! Being able to plant shields backwards so the locust couldn't kick it down was one of the only things that allowed us to live through all 50 waves in Horde.
Now it's gonna be a lot harder to get through them all. It'll require much more teamwork and skill.
I'm glad I got the Horde achievements before this was fixed.
how about we go back to making the shotgun free aim good like gears one that actually took skill or fix the fact that half of my sniper shots on an immobile enemy go through his head. oh and why did we make the boomshot more powerful and even a cheaper weapon than the first? And the number one mistake goes to dadada da yes removing unranked matches that people could join through matchmacking so you know when we have 7 people in a private party but cant get more to join from our friends list we can still get a game going without splitting up wait thats just common sense goog sucking job at ruining my favorite game with your horriable sequal epic

1) if the lancers aim suffers while blindfiring it's only fair (and balanced) that the shotgun should as well
2) for "skill" use hammerburst not shotgun, although you're porbably terrible with it and don't want to admit it takes skill
3) boomshot is a control weapon. It's in the middle of the map and you fight to get it to get an advantage. they just made it a more worthwhile prize, since 5 players on each team means that it would have less importance with only 2 rounds
4) toughen up. Although gears 2 ranked is pretty much the equivalent of halo 3 social (invis trueskill rank) bar guests of course
5) 7 people in a party....... thats plenty for a private game duh. I myself am partial to gears of war team doubles lol
6) adapt to gears 2.... In fact go and play the tutorial - "take cover or die" sounds like you just can't handle not being able to roadie run as you please
Fixed my ass, I just went trough 4 matches that I had to quit in a row for the lag. Not to mention, when after waiting and waiting to get in to a match, I always seem to be on a team thats a man short or way out ranked by the other team. This game fucking sucks. I love it when it works, but at this point I just dont have the patience to put up with this crap. Fuck epic, How long have they been making online games, long enough to know this shit dont fly, if you want people to play you game on a regular.
Fix the lag by removing host EPIC! Also how much you wanna bet that in a month those glitches will resurface in greater numbers. Gears 1 ring any bells?
Maybe I'm wrong with this/am not remembering correctly, but has anyone else noticed that now your planted grenades will damage/affect you when they go off? I don't remember them doing that before the update.
I was in for quite a surprise when a enemy tripped off my smoke grenade, and I rolled down the stairs for about 10 seconds, to get shotgunned in the face.
