Glitches?!? - Hosting (2 questions)

[12 E A IP E R]

I was just wondering... I know the cover system has been tweaked over 400 times but all in all, it is almost the same type of cover system therefore might allow the same type of glitches like the "Kung Fu Flip" or "Crab Walk", or has the cover system been tweaked enough to stop all of these glitches... Or are people going to be annoying because they're on the losing side and just "glitch out of map" or "Crab Walk" again.?. Just asking because glitchs ruin a game and Gears of War is quite prone to glitching because of the cover system.. Glitching is like cheating and must be prevented...

Also I would like to know if when you host, you get to set what weapons are on the map and if you can stop them rotating around the map..? The Matchmaking is what annoyed me about Halo 3 and Cod 4... Most of the time it made me lag... but thats not the point... The point is about the weapon sets and if you can change them...
Also Epic, great job with the map voting as I loved the idea of it on Unreal Tournament 3 (as I could always choose Facing Worlds on CTF - Well done for keeping that map :D)

For your 1st question, I'm hoping all of their tweaks have eliminated crab walking and KFF. They have tweaked the swat turn so you can break off in the middle and move on before it finishes, which essentially was how crab walking was done. However, I think I remember someone saying, I think it was Overkill, that the weapon slide is still there. Though there are 2 months before this game comes out so hopefully it's gone by the time it comes out.

I don't mind weapon slide as much because you cant get out of map or make yourself constantly hard to kill..

the weapon slide is part of the game now.

you dont actually slide,you can walk as your picking up a weapon.

400 tweaks and crabwalking/kung fu flip still there? hasn't been like more than a year since the last patch to GOW? they gotta get it right sometime. hopefully that's what "400 tweaks" means.

I think you need to re-read the description of the Gears2 'slide'.

I thought I had read somewhere that you don't have to completely stop in Gears 2 to pick up a weapon anyways. However I could be wrong and thinking of something else.

thats what im saying

There wont be any glitches in Gears 2. One thing, if Epic weren't checking the game, it would be out by now. Fixing glitches seems a worthwhile wait, seeing as it's too complicated to do as a downloadable content.

There is indeed a new weaponslide, you do not have to sop to pick up a weapon.

However, from Overkill it seemed like there may still be enough lag off host to do the old weaponslide

[WFSxRAiNiViAN]

There will most likley be no glitches . There posible could be a new glitch which someone will find out about by mistake in a year or so. Then they will rub their salty b*lls all over youtube spreading the glitch like a plague. Untill then we wont know im afraid.

LOL, I will also laugh if you can still do all the old glitches...

If they revised the weapon pick up animation so that you don't stop completely then it isn't a weapon slide; it's just picking up a weapon.

There will be some glitches there always is, if the have fixed the original ones and prevented ways of doing them again thats good but there will be new ones or players will figure out another way to do the original ones. Hopefully Epic will be quick in fixing them

Ok.. Ok.. I get the glitches side they may not be there... But if none of you have noticed... I asked TWO questions, I also would likean answer to the Hosting one about the weapon sets. If anyone has an answer to that one...

Don't get me wrong, I do love the comments... But it would be nice to an answer for both.

Sorry for if this offended anyone in any way,can't see why it would though..

I would think in a custom player match you could but it has not been detailed what you can and cannot change yet.

Ok ^^ thanks for that...
