Gears of War 2: Official Thread

That list could be a lot shorter by saying "copy Halo 3".

Bungie may own that code. Since H3 came out I've said MS or Bungie needs to license out or whatever the fuck that party system to everyone on the platform, it should be standard. GTA 4s setup even bugs me for example. It would be a huge step up for xbox if everyone could use that interface right from the start of development.

Seriously. It's just amazing that a programmer at Epic (to be fair, I don't actually know if he's working on Gears at all) is in that state of denial. I mean, I'd think that it's safe to assume that the Gears lobby system will be at least as good as CoD4's but with comments like that...

His reply was correct, and also probably best read sarcastically.

Technically, the guy asked an online game will have matchmaking, which is like asking "this game of yours, will there be... graphics?"

You're right, Gears had both matchmaking and netcode. D'oh.

[Netwurked]

Relax until it comes out for real, no need getting into a hissy now.

BUT SRSLY!

Did he just say netcode?? NETCODE!!!

Seriously, those that matter will be playing it regardless, even if the system is just like GOW1.

Also, NETCODE???

[Razor Ramon]

WHAT'S A NETCODE?!

[kingoffighters]

Netcode is the essence dick gravy of Gears.
