No, I am dead serious.

• Me and my team matched up with each other WITHOUT AN ENEMY TEAM. Yeah, you just read that. We all got a free victory, but it's still very screwed up.
• After finally getting into a match, the host leaves and the match ends.
• It takes a bitch of a long time to get matched up.
• After the amazing matchmaking that CoD4 has shown to the table, how come no game is copying it? People can enter matches in progress, people can leave without disrupting the match, and there was rarely any lag disruption at all. How come other games can't have the same thing?!

I hear there going to fix it.

halo 3s matchmaking for the win absolutely and utterly

Matchmaking is Gears 2 is a disaster. But that's already been a shit load of times. But my biggest complaint is that your cant pick one specific mode to play (Like not being able to just play Warzone).

Yep, it's pretty god damn terrible.

Bungie has their matchmaking down pat. But I disagree with you about how you said, "Put passion in your games." I find Gears 2 to be an amazing game, from the graphics, to the sound, to even the multiplayer when you get into a match. You can not blame them for server overload. I dare you to make a game as Gears of War 2, in less than two years, and not have any issues. It is irrating, but they are fixing it. Give them a break.
Fin.

I don't really play with strangers online, so I wouldn't know how the matchmaking is, but I've heard that it ain't that good, and you're not the first person to mention it.

Dude, games are still chainsaw fests. The shotgun does not help. Sometimes you get lucky, but ultimately the lancer wins.
As for your main topic, the matchmaking is embarassingly bad. The only way it works is with a fulll party. then it takes half a second

Why one earth did they choose to add the matchmaking system anyway. A part from the host advantage, the first Gears multiplayer was perfect.

"After finally getting into a match, the host leaves and the match ends."

In Gears 2 there is no single host for that reason, so what you just said is impossible.
