I'm good at the campaign. I just don't know why but i pretty much suck at Gears Multiplayer. It's like different from GRAW and HALO and all ... Anyone else crappy at it? I want to get better but I don't like playing with ppl who are way better than me. I want to play just for fun to get better at Multiplayer. So, send me a FR on XBL if you want to play with me to get better.

I don't like joining in some random game to get my a$$ kicked ... lol, i'll run into a good game every now and then. But not often. I was in a room the other day playing for awhile and got 1 kill and 1 down. PATHETIC! Some young punk was like just quit, you suck! I'm like well, I'm having fun trying! This dude had like 19 kills to everyone's like 7 ... and my 1. WHOO! *It wasn't even a ranked game.* BUT, after awhile of nonstop sucking, it gets old. I'm going to start a clan like ummm... GoW Multi Tards IDFK grrrrrrrrrrrrr.Anyone that's having trouble getting kills too, or isn't very good at it, or just anyone laid back that plays for fun and doesn't mind playing w/ someone sucky ... ADD ME!

the game experience is ruined pretty fast if you have some of those ppl that start smacktalking, and crying about stealing kills and points and all that shit. if anybody wants to have a fun game, maybe pick up a couple of thing's just holla.

Anther good idea is to watch for bullets streaming or smoke grenades going off and flank toward where they came from. If you see someone bleeding out on the ground don't run up and try to steal the kill, wait for the killer to come up to them and then toss a grenade between them both. Then you curb stomp two people. It's a lot easier said than done, but it's all about strategy. Working as a team is alway better than being on a team and working basically alone. If you have a newbie on your team hang back and follow him. Guaranteed he is going to draw fire soon from others and get himself killed, but in the process he will draw the enemy toward him while you flank. If two of you are crouched behind the same wall or box you are as good as dead. Once in a fire-fight don't just exchange fire, it's 50/50 odds. Instead wait until they crouch behind cover and then use smoke grenades to move laterally in opposite directions than your team mate. One of you keep him shooting at you from the original location while the other circles for an exposed shot. Eventually they will realize that they are exposed and their only chance is to either charge at you or run for it, but their odds of surviving at that point are slim if you both move in on them. Always try to start a fight when you have 2 against 1. Take turns getting kills and watching each others back.
Best case scenario is to pin one guy down with fire while your team mate moves to the side and uses the hammer of dawn.
Realistically there are so many kids out there that play this game online without parents monitoring them and they get so good at how to win that normal gamers have to work together to kill them. It sure is fun to curb stomp them though.

Do you want to keep getting frustrated in GoW MP (shotgun is useless at close range, and bullet lag up the wazzo)? Then don't host.
I've never played a game of this calibur with such host advantage in my life. Don't get me wrong, i love Gears MP, but hate it over xbl when the host has a crappy internet connection. I just wish there were some sort of indicator (ping) that would let you know what kind of connection you were getting with the host.
If you want to play a fantastic 360 MP game that is non-host friendly, then get CoD2 (CoD3, sorry....not nearly as good of MP).

i've only played one game that had significant lag. the rest have been great, even better than halo 2 matchups. it seems i do get more kills when i'm host or maybe it is just coincidence seeing i've only hosted 3 games or so.

Host advantage is horrible on this game. The worst the host's connection the more advantage they get. I get very noticeable host advantage when I host so I don't. This and the voice bug are my only big gripes.
I don't get the whole host advantage thing? What's that all about? I know you get achievments for hosting games, and playing ranked matches ... but other than that ... what's up? Thanx guyz

QUOTE(cerealkillajme @ Dec 7 2006, 01:12 PM)
Host advantage: The host always has the best connection. Since their upload depends on how much lag the others get. If they have a fast upload then they can transmit the data back to the other players fast enough for it not to matter, but if they have a slow upload then it takes longer for the data to make it back to the other players, thus causing lag/latency issues. Host in most cases will never experience the lag cause they are the ones that the connection is running off of. Basically the hosts screen will always be "real time" and the other players can be milliseconds to 1-2 seconds behind. That's why sometimes you might shoot a guy point blank with a shotgun and he doesn't even get hit, if it's a 1 second difference he may already be behind or beside you by the time you really pull the trigger.
It amazes me that a lot of people are unaware of this. It's also funny when those hosting are talking trash and thinking they are bad asses.

Also, is anyone else getting really pissed off by the Hammer of Dawn in multiplayer? Whenever I'm killed by it I feel very cheaped, like some guy just standby'd you on Halo lol

It pissed me off when people wait in the middle to jump on the hosts side. I'm always Locust if I can help it, and the host is 99% of the time COG. Nothing is more satisfying than handing the host teams arse to them on a silver plate

Yeah I didn't even know the Hammer was in multi till last night
The whole match it was just being cheesed to death. I guess I can't really blame people for using it though since there is that 100 kills with the Hammer achievement to get. I find frag tagging very annoying too BTW

....i think it was caused by an overload of data jammed into the HDD. I had a lot on it to begin with , then it just couldn't handle FFXI and the Playonline viewer i guess. I never had problems w/ it before. ::sigh::

my 360 is messed up guys that just recently added me. so u wont see me on GoW anytime soon. i will more than likely have to send it in for repairs. Red lights of doom, no picture...no dashboard...just dead red lights not flashing. I may have to send in for the cardboard coffin. ::sinff sniff::

If your 360 is out of warranty, read this link: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=539063
Follow the steps and links provided to determine exactly what error it is, and then the possible solutions to fix it. My friend is having the 3 flashing red problem too, and is going to do the 'heatgun fix'.

There should be a NOOB option in Xbox Live in your Gamertag settings that if selected only pits you against other NOOBS. And the option can be selected or unselected. I think that would be a great idea!
Anyway, my gamertag is trigger x360 so any online multiplayer shooter noobs out there give me a shout!
**note: there is a space between trigger and x360.

I'm one of those Xmas Noobs. Just got my Xbox, PGR3 and GoW a couple of days ago and I'm having a blast. I found this thread and I'm looking for friendly games to help my skills, I think we all are! So I've added some of your names to my friends list, I don't know if that is exactly what I am supposed to do but it's done now
So if you see me around at night (after the kiddies go to bed) I'm probably looking to for a game. BTW, Berserker scared the shit out of me but I'm over it now.
