But i don't think you will ever see this happening... but i feel they should have this option it would be a nice idea. GO ZP INSTAGIBBBBBBB WHOOP!!

Yeah, that's what client-side hit detection is.

You have no clue about what games I have played in the past, so that claim is baseless from the start. Let me assure you, young man, that I have played more games and more shooters than you have ever seen.

As far as not posting my gamertag.... I didn't know it was required..... If you want to look me up my gamertag is "Skillz2Burn". So much for trying to hide it, huh?

If Client Side Hit Detection is a deal breaker for you please sell your copy of GOW, leave these forums, and find another game. Otherwise, please don't post anything more about Host Advantage. It is a dead topic on these forums and has been for a long time.

sorry kiddo, you're on the wrong side of the argument. and since i'm pushing 40, i appreciate the compliment (young man). so i really doubt you've played longer or more games than me.

btw here you are: http://card.mygamercard.net/Skillz2Burn.png

DUDE!!! YOU'VE ONLY PLAYED 8 GAMES???!!! no wonder you're taking this so personally, you're essentially clueless.

I can deal with the Host shotgun, but it does get old. I'm sure Epic will figure that one out eventually.

Honestly if you can't handle playing against people that randomly kill you with their host, but are generally quite terrible w/ or w/o the host you are probably just bad at the game.

boohoo man boohoo

really? i think you're lying. if anything your "horrid" connection is what saves you.

again. someone claiming to have 'uberskillz' but posts no proof.

i've been playing a different game also powered by the unreal 3 engine (i won't mention it because it's a violation to compare games, and i do respect Epic) and there is a slight host advantage there, but nothing so grossly obvious that people complain about it. i just pointed out a short coming that affects gameplay to the point of ruining the ability to play on an even field.

the game has become follow the host tho...

o they got it figured out.. they are just too busy shopping with our money

pepitwins · 04-10-2007, 07:18 PM

rumors of fixing this problem in the recent update were made... however... they did not fix this

shades_of_grey · 04-10-2007, 07:22 PM

Although I wish they'd fix the single biggest flaw in their game, Epic refuses to address the insane host advantage evident in GoW. They're too busy facking up established game mechanics like the roadie run.

guess what? some noob with a gamerscore of less than 500 (all SP achievements, btw) was doing nothing but running around with the shotty.

i appreciate the bones you guys throw us (free maps, extra content), but the host advantage has driven me and all my friends away from Gears.

fix it if you can, or at least for Gears 2, fix it. i really enjoyed Gears until it became "follow the host with the shotty"

it's really annoying to get beat by a flawed system instead of player skill.

Well, Gamerscore means absolutely nothing. Also, they have already stated that they are not going to fix this problem. I don't know why... but their not. And for anyone that thinks that host doesn't have an advantage.. just look at some of the top clans on this game. They win on their host and lose off their host. It's OBVIOUS.
