A Quarter BILLION should buy a few dedicated servers!

LOVE GOW! GOW2 Not so much...

Last night I went back to GOW and had a BLAST!

Quick matchmaking and using my headset is one of my favorite parts of the experience!

Have they stopped allowing talking in GOW2 because bandwidth is tight?

I understand they probably poured a year of labor and lets say 5 million bucks into the new multiplayer front end--- But when you have a game this "EPIC" hampered by such a broken piece - it is time to do Blue Sky thinking and admit that the internet will not support the current matchmaking system.

Three Rules for NEW Multiplayer interface:

1. Show player latency indicator (GOW1 had it - don't lose it make it better!)

2. Do testing that shows if you have lets say 2 latency indicator bars out of 5 it STILL only takes 90 seconds MAX to join a game.

3. With dedicated servers eradicate cheaters.

Spend the MONEY- give a little back to the people who pumped you up!


:D:p:D

i hear exactly what you mean...even bungie has gotten this down...halo was alright but i've loved gears so much more...we pay 50 a year per person or even more to the ppl that do it by 3's or w/e their choices are...come on now YOU HAVE MONEY make gears a server that actually works...get us something other than a host that is going to quit when he is losing *trust me ppl know when they are host and know how to cheat to get it* you change it to a dedicated server NO HOSTS just equal gaming...maybe you should even give a list of connection types so say i have cable *which i do* i only play with cable users so that minimizes the lag in each game same for dsl and so on or have it auto detect and put you in the right area...but not to limit your friends like say you have cable and they have dsl don't make it to where you can't invite him/her to play with you that would be stupid to make that limit...but other than that allow that...most ppl have a fast dsl connection i know a few still in the 700kb area...me myself im running 30mb/sec...so i feel a lot of pain when playing dsl, europe or asia and especially ausy's because of the hosting and weak server issues...

or have it like pc gaming.. clans etc can rent ther own servers and make private or open to the world....

then you can join your own local server with others and have a lag free tight latency game

or search for other dedicated servers and order them by ping/latency..

i KNOW id pay a £10 a month for this.....so if me and my 4 close buddys all did this we could have our own gaming server...

NO HOST=NO cheating= FAIR GAME...oh and the chances of lag etc are down 10 fold.

Hey honestly couldn't they just go to congress and cry for a bailout rofl...I mean c'mon the porn industry is thinking that they need the money...what about the video game community?

Dedicated Servers would make this game more reliable.


Doesn't Battlefield Bad Company use Dedicated servers? They seem solid to me.
