The sooner the better. Not hearing people is annoying. :mad:

[Look Its a Panda]

What are the biggest issues and bugs with Gears of War as of today?

[The Geeky Panda]

w00t!

People please us ur mics during a GoW match, it be alot helpful if the team is A on Teamwork.

[Devolution]

Glad new rooms won't have to be made every time someone isn't heard.

[Masakuni]

Not surprised at all to see a patch. Maybe stop that chainsaw from killing when not toutching too, that would be good.

What are the biggest issues and bugs with Gears of War as of today?
1.Not being able to hear some people after they join.
2.The grenade launching blue grid coming up when zooming with a weapon. It doesn't happen very often at all, but it is there.
3.Starting out a round without a weapon in hand. Again, it doesn't happen very often.
4.The lobbies could use work. While they at least have lobbies unlike CoD2 (before the patch) and F.E.A.R., there aren't enough options for the host.
5.Ranked matches are a mess. There's cheating, and then also you can't join a ranked match as a group.

6. Can't give someone the party lead when the party leader is leaving yea I play halo2 lol I am used to that but it is nice cause everyone gets all scattered when the leader leaves.
7. lag I have seen some lag but that doesn't happen very often.
8. I think they should have a version where weapons can spawn in other areas of the map instead of the same spot all the time. I mean the rush is on lol.
Really not too many problems with the game it works for the most part well and I think it is an awesome game!
It freaked me out though that one time the grenade launching grid came up when I was trying to shoot. It only happened to me once I was switching weapons thinking I was on the wrong weapon eh. Just shoot it but you can't bead in on the subject right lol.

I agree the leader thing would be nice and i wish that all games would use the connections that halo uses so we would use the best persons connection in a room.

I dont agree they should change were stuff is since they put the weapons in the certain areas for balance like high ground vs snipers or the best weapons in the middle i love that.

How about the EXTREME inconsistency of the weapons

Its that way because your online, same thing with halo.

[Kelpie PMS]

Yay! I can't wait till it comes out, they really needed to fix those bugs and glitches.

[Masakuni]

You don't seem to understand.

[Athena Twin PMS]

Thank GOD! I hope they also give a updat soon for team ranked matches!

[The Geeky Panda]

Thank GOD! I hope they also give a updat soon for team ranked matches!

I 2nd that

[Masakuni]

Rainbow is out next week anyways.

[KilloWertz]

Rainbow is out next week anyways.

Not to start a Rainbow Six vs. Gears of War debate (I am looking forward to RB6 Vegas as well), but I don't see Gears of War dying just because Rainbow Six Vegas is coming out.

It's good to know that there is a patch coming soon. Hopefully it fixes at least a majority of the big issues. Hopefully there are new modes released in the near future after they get done with the patch.

[Masakuni]

I'll still play Gears it's just Rainbow will take more of my time, maybe they can do something about the "A" for everything there do seem to be unused buttons or a slightly different cofiguration that would be more effcient (I doubt they will though).

[VballChick PMS]

final-freakin-lee!

Lol... its only been like a week since the game came out.

I hope they can do something about the cheating in ranked matches, although, I havent come across any lately, so thats always a good sign.

[H2O Default]

I haven't even gotten my chance to play it yet but with the way some people are posting, is it still worth me buying? :D

:) You'll get your money's worth out of it and then some.

I hope they address multiple bugs in the Campaign game especially since they've made game achievments focused towards XBL Co-op play.

Issues thus far I've seen repeatedly:

Act 1 Chapter 3(?) - When saving Cole for the first time, if you push Kim into the corner of the door he bugs out and doesnt do the "Get down there and help Alpha" / Open the door.

Act 2 - Right before you reach Checkpoint 2 if you close the Emergence hole, Marcus goes down, and whoever is playing Dom finishes off the last Locust Dom will glitch out and do the "Walk with fingers on ear" thingy waiting for Marcus to que a radio transmission. Obviously since Marcus is down he can't say anything and because dom is in "cut screen"mode you can't grab him.

Act 2 - Right before your get to the Gas station where you blow up the car and run behind it, if one person runs and the other stays behind and gets "Krylled" (<= I'm a genius, get it? Krylled, Killed, kek), you'll get the check point, the dying/dead player gets warped to you, and then you fail.

Act 2 Vehicle chapter - the complete inconsistancy of the Kryll blows my mind. At first my partner and I sat and waited in a section to see if it was time based after triggering a group of kryll that was SUPPOSED to come from behind ended up spawning in front. After further observation, the Kryll are supposed to be trigger based, however sometimes triggers go off at the same time like a cascade. This causes the kryll to sometimes clip through buildings and seem to be some random spawn. Also we had 2 kryll stuck on us the entire damn ride and dropped us about 25% total.

Epic: The light cannon blows

Act 4 - Beserker gets stuck in the doorway inside the greenhouse. Just keeps on sprinting in place like a chump.

Act 5 - If you uncupple the train cars while the beserker is dashing at you, he sometimes clears the gap and wtfpwnz your face. It's as if the beserker's animations cant be interupted when started (ie he finishes his dash everytime).

****

There's others, cant really think off the top of my head it's early >.< It's still a solid title, dunno about the 9+ ratings but it's close. Dunno who they had testing the campaign but there's a lot of kinks that needed to be worked out. After watching the collectors edition "Behind the Scenes" movies methinks they were a little more pressed about weapon scaling than functionality across the board.

Sounds like there are a lot of bugs in the game.....hmmmm....So i have a question..:: Im a major FPS game player not really into the whole 3rd Person Shooter genre, but would this game be worth buying? or would it just be a waste of money? the only important factor of the game to me is if it has a solid Multiplayer...like...Balanced Maps, Weapons, Game types.....ETC....:D

[edx]

Its a lot of fun

The multiplayer is not perfect of course, but it is still a lot of fun. I think the maps are fairly well done, with weapons placed in good spots. There are three game types that are variations of team deathmatch. Warzone is your typical team deathmatch. Execution is the same, but you have to kill them either by curb-stomping them or using the chainsaw. Assassination is the same base mode as Warzone, but each team has a leader. You can still win by killing everyone, but if the leader of one team gets killed, they automatically lose the round. Also, the leader is the only one that can pick up a weapon at first. If he picks one up and drops it, then a teammate can pick it up.

[Killer Klown]

oohhhh...Sounds fun :D Thanks i might have to go and check that out..but when Halo 3 comes out...Im never leavin the house...heheheh :D

[Masakuni]

You just need to be close on execution, you can kill them any way you want to. If your in to most FPS style of play then I'd have this as a rent first.

[justinbaily]

Well i had something really strange happen while playing the game all of a sudden it says disc can't be read and i turn off the 360 then back on it works fine.

Strangest game freeze i've ever seen. Yes this game owns on 360.
Being able to save whenever you want would be nice as is only checkpoints matter.
They come with a good regularity but i've heard fear is much stingyer about them.

LoL, we've had some good times with the Beserker. Darren and I both had the thing stuck in the doorway so he was on one side and I was in the other and you know both teammates need to be on the tree side to activate the checkpoint lol.

The part where you have to uncouple the trains was pretty funny too. The first time Darren didn't make it to the other side by the time I blew the tank and he died with the Beserker, and of course I died too. The second time it chased Darren and he rolled out of the way and the Beserker kept going until he fell off the back of the train. Hehe, it's like you said once she got going she couldn't stop.

[Devolution]

I was playing with a friend and Kim wouldn't open a door. That was fun.

[PerfectDark PMS]

OMG cant wait. this game is in need of some connection corrections
