Recently come to the conclusion that Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer issues run very similar to the same short-comings that GOW2 had. Although GOW2 didn't have as much to live up as MW2, I was still really disappointed with it, as I am with MW2 to this day. When I started doing some comparisons I noticed some really big similarities between the 2 games and there various issues.
 

Gears of War 2

• Matchmaking Issues (E.G. cannot find a game for long periods of time, dropping out of parties, and splitting up parties if in a game.)

• Gun Balancing Issues (Shotguns too weak, Snipers too strong, and Launchers too powerful)
• Latency Issues (LAG)
• Glitches (Invisible Chain Saw, Unlimited ammo)
  

Modern Warfare 2

• Matchmaking Issues (Parties being split up and such. Games unjoinable, Host migration script boots to dashboard)
• Gun Balancing Issues (Model 1887's and Launchers + Danger Close)
• Latency Issues (I was behind the wall how did he kill me?)
• Glitches (Care Package glitch and those FFA Rust Lobbies with unlimited noobtube)

Your stretching those ideas to fit your cause.

I've not experienced either the breaking up of parties or latency. The 1887s and tubers are easily dealt with and fixed for the most part. The only glitch I encountered was the javelin glitch once and then the ice skating glitch also once in almost 3 days of playing.
 
With Gears of War 2 I tried for its whole launch weekend to get into a game, couldn't and never actually played online, fuck that game.

So what? 
 
Edit: By the way, tauren can't be warlocks.

Every time i read the letters GOW i thought god of war and had to go err uh gears of war in my head. Maybe its cause i never played the gears of war games, from the sounds of it i didnt miss much lol.

I've never had problems with lag in either game.  You should check you contention buddy.

I don't own MW2 but some of those Gears complaints are weird.  Overpowered weapons are such on purpose.  Boomshot and Sniper are set up in parts of the map so the teams fight for them.  
 
More powerful shotty would = Shotty Fest aka Gears 1 

I really didn't experience that many glitches, MUCH better than Gears 1.  
 
Lag and matchmaking stuff got better, still suck.

• • Gun Balancing Issues (Shotguns too weak, Snipers too strong, and Launchers too powerful)

  Shotguns too weak? Are you high? Shotguns single handedly turned me off the entire gears of war franchise.  They are the most random unbalanced fuck ups in any game I've played.  Even the 1887's don't bother me as much as the Gears Shotgun.

• Matchmaking Issues (Parties being split up and such. Games unjoinable, Host migration script boots to dashboard) - Never really experienced Matchmaking issues. If a game didn't work, i just backed out and tried again, and it always worked the second time.
• Gun Balancing Issues (Model 1887's and Launchers + Danger Close) - Shotties were patched. I still hate noob tubers.
• Latency Issues (I was behind the wall how did he kill me?) - Bullet penetration. That's in the game on purpose
• Glitches (Care Package glitch and those FFA Rust Lobbies with unlimited noobtube)    - patched and patched

The Lancer or snipers are not overpowered. The shotgun is just too weak. If anything, the Hammerburst is overpowered. :D

Modern Warfare 2 (and really any game honestly) is so far beyond Gears 2 in terms of lag and matchmaking it isn't even funny.

Modern Warfare 2 = Halo 2. Maybe not in specific case.

guess what we know your opinion is your opinion. especially when its a blog dude. its a pet peeve it annoys me when i see imo lol, if you're saying it ITS OBVIOUSLY your opinion AHHH !!! lol i need sleep.

I forgot there was a competitve mode in Gears 2
I play it few times but after I notice it took far to many shots to kill someone 
"Halo 3" face-palm
I stop playing it
Besides Gears was never meant to be a competitve game to begin with 
based on the game play it is "Geared" towards Cooperative I.E. Horde! 

 

it is kind of way different problems. sure there is lag problems. they were kind of fixed still happen to get it. i never played gears 2 online. i didn't think it was a great game that people say it was. a lot of it is fixed. epic didn't fix the problem right away like infinity ward did.
