And I'm sure all 4 million of those people are either pissed off gamers, are queers that standby to get a win. Happened to me twice today, never seen it happen until today either. Guy gets down in Execution, sudden death, all of sudden i lag for 10 seconds, and get chainsawed when i finally reconnect. Same glitches as the first game, and even more annoying problems too. The multiplayer is THE reason why i got the game :/
beat it last night. there are other games i'd rather see get sales like this. the multiplayer isn't even the only broken part. enemies get stuck in SP quite a bit. i even broke SP once (dropped down to where the enemies were because i saw a gap in the railing) and had to reload my last checkpoint.

Smoke grenades that stun people is a good idea. But if a person falls over from it, don't they do some weird shit that makes them shake uncontrollably then all of a sudden lag them to 5 feet behind you right when you shoot them on the ground? It happens all the damn time, for anybody that plays it. Its the most retarded thing ive ever seen. it just saddens me how a problem like that has definitely come across them in testing, and didnt even do shit to fix it.

Just beat it on Hardcore today. Very good game, with lots of modes, and great co-op options. Love the horde mode as well.
The reason that Gears 2 isn't getting the crushing hype that the first one got is because when Gears originally came out, it was the first great 1st party game from MS (maybe you could say PGR3 at launch), one of the first games to show off the 360 hardware, and one of the first widely accepted online shooters on 360. And, there wasn't nearly as much competition from other games at the time.

What's the Gears 1 LTD?
you guys nitpick about multiplayer. it could be better yea,but its completely fine,and and my friends enjoy it everynight. if you dont like smoke grenades learn how to roll out the way,or just sit back at the beginning of the match when everything rushes towards the heavy weapons and blow their smoke grenade loads.

I think this means they're NOT gonna be in a hurry to genuinely fix online.

Um, it really is quite unplayable for many people such as the orignal thread and EPIC forums.
More than half of my versus matches were completely and utterly ruined by lag. And that doesn't even include the glitches which are plentiful and abusive.

And that is why it says approximately. If you didn't know what that meant, heh. It's 2.3 million confirmed in the US thus approximately the rest making up WW. You can give or take on either side of the number since it's approximate. Also the last time they provided the numbers early on in December they stated actual sell through. They maybe talking shipments here either way wouldn't matter since it's over 4 million (could me more on either side of the equation).

In the original post as well. They say well over 5 million. Cliffy stated over 5.5 million not too long ago to be specific.
