Yesterday Epic released an update that was supposed to fix the matchmaking in Gears 2 multiplayer. Since downloading the update I have noticed absolutely zero improvement in any on the areas where improvement was supposed to take place - Matchmaking is still a long and laborious process. If anything I have noticed increased lag during games, and my Xbox has now started freezing halfway through a Gears 2 multiplayer matches for no reason at all. This only happens with Gears 2, I can play other games online for hours without any problems on my 360, and its a relatively new console so I doubt its a hardware error.
Is anyone else having issues after downloading the Gears 2 update?
It still takes a shitload of time in comparison to the deity of matchmaking (halo 3). I say they should just screw matchmaking and opt for something like Call of Duty, meaning match you up with whoever, but no lobby system. Because well, Epic has proven so far they're not cut for anything more
The game just seems like it could have used a public online beta. And you'd think they would have learned their lesson after Gears 1. Granted the actually problem is different (1 was laggy, 2 can't find games)
