6. match making is very limited and takes forever

If you sit down to play multi-player for 1 hour you get about 30 minutes of actual gameplay!!!

You do realise this game was just released, and in some places it's just becoming available now. Give it a week and there will be plenty of people online. Plus, a lot of people are trudging through the campaign right now. I can't imagine what this is going to be like on the highest difficulty level, I've been getting worked over pretty regularly. But I see a learning curve and I seem to be adapting more to the style of play. Must fight back the urges that several years of Halo have ingrained in me.

if your tired of waiting for matchmaking to find you a room here's a tip...

1. goto ranked/player match

2. pick custom and your choices

3. when it says searching quickly tap 'X' twice should bring up a list behind the searching... pick your room and join..

Enjoy!!

this has worked for me.. hope it does for you...

hard to get your friends in the game? how about opening up your friends list and hitting "X" on their name? it invites them into the game you are playing and all they have to do is accept. I play with my buddy all the time and never have a problem. I've gotten 4-5 friends into the same game before this way, just going down the list and hitting X.

I was really excited for this game but I am extremely disappointed

1. Getting a friend in your game is pain in the Ass

2. Not alot of Maps

3. Only 3 different game types

4. Spectating( Maybe I am inpatient but I don't want to watch my teammates play for 5 minutes after I die)

5. Weapons Suck

6. match making is very limited and takes forever

You are such a dumbass, go play Halo if you don't like the game. You can't complain, you are probably 12 years old so I should not even bother addressing your stupid points but I will.

Getting a friend in the game is easy. Its called inviting them to a game. How the hell is it that hard?

Not alot of maps? WHat the hell do you mean? How many maps is sufficient? Every map is quality and there are 10 or 12 maps last I counted. Thats a great amount. Plus there will be more coming through downloads.

Spectating... you are complaining that you don't automatically respawn? Its obvious you just have a problem with a game like gears of war in general. Quit complaining and go sell your game. Go play Halo with infinite respawn and enjoy yourself or play that other variation where you can come back to life.

How can you just say "weapons sucK" with no explanation? the weapons do not suck. its obvious you just wish there was an energy sword or something. the weapons dont' suck, your ability to like this game is what sucks.

I would agree matchmaking is limited. They should allow more options. HOwever you are wrong about it taking too long. Find a room and stay in it and you won't have a problem.

Whats wrong with spectating? It is more of an incentive to stay alive and play as a team. It is what makes counter-strike so popular.

I am really impressed with it really. Smooth as silk, looks SOOOOO fucking good, you'd swear it was pre-rendered ala resident evil. Brilliant cover options.

MY ONLY GRIPE, only 8 players??!! I know that 8 is Cliffy's 'sweet spot' (ew), but couldnt we squeeze a few more in....?

As long as the maps are kept smallish 4 vrs 4 is fine with me.

Must be in player match... ranked doesn't allow this...

You seem to be very unsophisticated and probably prefers playing perfect dark zero or XIII instead.

1. Getting your friend into a game is the same for every game.

2. If you don't think there are enough maps, epic announced there will be more before the year is over. Buy those, halo 2 didn't have very many before the map packs came out.

3. The three different game types are still very deep and require alot of communication and teamwork.

4. Spectating is like that for every game, and you just seem to die too early.

5. Weapons suck? The weapons are as balanced as any game can make them, you don't seem to have any reason why they suck, just that they do.

6. Maybe you should play some regular matches before you start complaing about ranked ones, its matchmaking, get used to it or wait til more people have the game.

Well I'll be... mine doesn't either... I checked on the Xbox.com site before I bought it and it says 1-4 players, but on the box (which I failed to investigate that closely as I checked the site before I bought it) does say 1-2 - damn, I bought it expecting 1-4... guess thats what I get for believing the website.....
