I'd rather have bots if we're going offline.

I would rather the people who post on this forum know how to spell

Just another example of how great our education systems are.

Just don't be like Infinity Ward and completely screw us on with a horrible LAN setup.


Infifty Ward developed Call of Duty 4 for those of you that don't know.

Epic, please give us:

1) Lag-free LAN. Even on LAN, GoW1 has a little bit of it. I'm an Epic game staff member so I don't know for sure, but I have suspected it's is because GoW1 had a very rushed multiplayer, and therefor a very rushed netcode. Please take more time to fix this in GoW2. Remember that games that have great single player experiences are recognized and remembered for awhile, but games that have amazing MULTIPLAYER experiences are remembered for even longer, because they have higher replay value and keep people playing it longer because of that. Not to mention that you can always develop new maps for MP and have people buy them to play on, but it's very hard to sell SP content effectively.

2) Give us a little weapon tweaking. THIS IS NOT A PRIORITY AND I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE YOU SPEND MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF TIME ON FIXING HOST ADVANTAGE BY GIVING US DEDICATED SERVERS AND/OR AWESOME CSHD. But, if you DO have the time, please give players the ability to tweak weapon damage. Individual weapon damage would be GREAT, but if it has to be all-around damage/health, that's ok too. It doesn't have to be a huge number of settings, here's an example. I'll only use the lancer to make it simple.

Under host options......

-WEAPON DAMAGES-

Lancer - 80%
............90%
............100%
............110%
............120%
(this would be a dropdown menu where the player could scroll down using the left analog stick)

Of course, it would have all the weapons ready to tweak. And the 5 settings that I mentioned are fine, we don't need it to be like Halo 3.
This way, at least for player matches and on LAN, people can make it so the lancer is more/less powerful, sniper rifle won't down with an active(but instead get you full red), an AR boomshot wouldn't kill you when it blows up 10 feet away from you, etc.

My only wish for offline play in GoW2 would be that 4 players can play per console, instead of just 2.

Epic will leave system link in if you agree to go back to school.

mee two... if onley.

[Sulfuric]

It's an internet forum, spelling doesn't count.
But it sure makes you look superior to someone that can't spell.

Mind repeating that, in um English?

Leave him alone hes obviously from Canada.

P.S. Its a joke Canadians I don't want to see a Canadian mob on my door step.... again, (don't ask).

[syrup1]

system link is awesome, need to keep that along with adding the option of having 4 players per console.

[gotitmemorized?]

Im pretty sure he's spelling like that on purpose. I mean, who spells "the" as "da"?

[Mortificus]

no, we dont need 4 people per console, could you honestly see on that small of a screen? now, i know, not everyone has a little 16"/12" tv that i do, but i dont honestly think you could see everything you need to in a fourth of your tv

[Sulfuric]

But we should have the option for 4-screening.
So the rich people with 35834067240674 inch. TVs can have 4 Richie Riches per xbox.
Average Joe with his 30 inch TV will probably just stick with 2 people.


Not to mention 4 people would kick ass on a school auditorium projector :D

true, but if your talking high school, i dont think many parents would appreciate the visceral carnage that gears players do.... and college, well, you would have to find enough people who arent drunk after their frat party in order to play

[woooo]

I vote for instant action as in UT3 where you get to play matches against 'bots'

[Sulfuric]

Bots are great to play with, especially to find out out true shooting skill(since a bot could be programmed to hit you with every bullet).
But creativity is something that human totally own bots at.

[truez311]

WOW!!! all i wanted waz 2 take a poll of offline multiplayer... now im gettin lectures on education. seriously ppl lighten up a lil... its "da" internet!!! LOL
but it wud be great if u cud just focus on da poll instead of tryin 2 get me bak 2 school. LOL
