Good Job and so close to the best game ever :)

Just wanted to give Epic and Cliffy's crew good job on one of the best multiplayer games ever and games overall. You can hit the best game ever mark if you just beta the multiplayer and get rid of the bugs and have a better setup but I'm sure you guys know that and will work on that for GoW 2 so GL on gow2 peeps!

the game isnt even running lagfree except in lan and if u play with your friends having all a very googd connection and u call it almost perfect?

i agree, the mp makes fun, but after sometime its just frustrating...because of bugs/glitches, because of the serversystem or unbalanced weapons. u can call UT, quake³ or even cs alomst perfect, but gow? never.

imo they should fix the current version to almost perfect and not working on gow² or the pc version.

and yeah i'm really pissed off right now, cause i try to find a game without lag for the last 50 minutes. -.-

You late buddy

it is an amazing game, and the multiplayer is addicting, yet lacking in complexity. i'm starting to get real sick of lag, especially when it costs me kills, which has happened before. i don't like to host, and most of my friends live fairly far away. i think i might be switching over to GRAW 2 and RB6 pretty soon, and playing Gears casually until they (hopefully) fix some of the problems plaguing multiplayer. i realize bullet lag can't be "fixed" really, but Halo 2 seems to have it right, so i know it's possible.

that's enough of my *****ing. we here it enough as it is. just had to get it off my chest.

My biggest fear is that they are looking too far ahead and not keeping the attention where it needs to be and thats with GOW patch. They know the issues are there, but they are talking about another IP Epic has and upcoming UT3 in development and the "possability" of GOW2. Not that its bad to have multiple properties just support your current titles and the many players who buy and play them.

I remember the days when UT and its Multiplayer issues were constantly updated and their faithful players were kept up to date on bugs and possible patch statuses and what they were doing to do to address them. Back then Cliffy and Mark would scauff at the idea of a developer not listening and supporting your players. Now we get threads closed due to the "repeated issues" over concerns with multiplayer. My hope is Epic wakes up to this realization and keeps the players in the loop like they use too.

I prefer GoW to Halo 2 (XBL) :/ This is more tactical than Halo where it's deathmatch. I didn't really have much lag when I played, but lag is the main downside of MP.

Well whats the client or server side stuff I heard about that call of duty and Ghost Recon have that Epic doesn't like cause it may cause cheating called? They could do that for GoW 2 or try to get in GOW, sounds good and the con of it causes cheating, well if anyone never noticed there is cheating in this game already.

Also I read and listen to Cliffy and he is smart and knows his stuff.

But he says if you dont like lag play with friends. ok

Then he says they remove host name on ranked games and if you want to play with your friends play unranked. ok

So with those 2statements I'm understanding he doesn't have a way to play ranked games without lag?
