Ordered it from Newegg w/ the $20 card. Can't say I'm dying to play it, but I haven't been a gamer much in the past 2 years. I'm sure I'll be glued to the XBox once it finally comes in

I only played 1 game of horde and I guess they don't use dedicated servers for that because the lag was worse than anything I saw in GOW2. I was teleporting all over the place. It was impossible to melee anything because it didn't register me in the correct spot. Hopefully that was just a random 1 time occurrence.

Nah, Horde has been pretty sketchy for me, too. I tried TDM but it officially SUCKS. It's just a bunch of people camping corners with sawed off shotguns and a few meatshields who haven't yet learned to do that. Very boring.

That's okay, I bought the game to play Horde and co-op with my son, so whatevs.

I disagree, TDM is fantastic. You're reasoning sounds typical of someone who gets their ass handed to them in multiplayer.

Ahh yes, let's make it personal. I have no idea what I've been experiencing first hand or how to process it, so I must just suck. You're completely right, internet boy.

You must have got stuck with some crappy pkayers, all my games had people running and gunning. And the online is smooth this time, this game has been nothing but a hit for me.

TDM is definitely smooth... Horde has been very hit or miss, though. Host migration has been working < 50% of the time for me, but if people are dashboarding half as bad as they did in CoD, not much Epic can do about that.

I haven't given up on TDM yet, but the camping snoozefests are draining my interest.

If they're camping, get to the big gunz. That's critical in this game. They cannot hide from the digger, boomshot, mortar.

My copy should arrive any minute now, waiting on the UPS guy. Already sold my Savage Kantus code on Amazon for $24 so this one will cost me $16 out of pocket!

I sold my for $20.50 on ebay. Who pays for these things? $20? I would have been happy with $5!

Its not personal, I'm definitely no pro at the game myself but to say it "SUCKS" because of campers is idiotic. There has never been more ways to counter corner camping than there is now. Camping is a part of pretty much every game that has TDM. Saying a game sucks and is boring because of that reason pretty much tells me all I need to know.

And the fact that you're lashing out because you think I said a game sucks tells me all I need to know.

I don't mind that you think it sucks, that's your opinion. I found that your reasoning for it was lame (boring because of campers).

For example: Gears 2 TDM sucked because of lag and host advantage among other issues. I would have understood something like that. Again, all games have campers. This game has been out for one day and you've "OFFICIALLY" labeled it as "SUCKS". If you want tips on how to counter campers, feel free to ask.

How so? I think the dedicated servers are a big improvement.

I mean just the way the game generally plays. It feels like gears 2 on dedicated servers then. They added so little. Just a few weapons and the ability to jump over cover into someone face. Other than that theyre practically indistinguishable from each other.

Not necessarily a bad thing.

I've definitely never quite wrapped my head around the fact that people can see you in full view while they're under cover. Its contrary to everything I've ever know about multiplayer shooters.

Impossible to justify buying the same game 3 times.
Awww, it's nice to see that they let moron's on the internet. This is the same exact thing as Gears 1. I mean, they haven't refined the online play, added co-op modes or anything like that.

Yeah I would agree, but I'm also glad they didn't change too much.

it is even the same exact story!

First: I was stoked with the Amazon deal. Second: The game has delivered what I was expecting so far, and more. Third: They are finally, really, fleshing out the characters. Cole is larger than life; the guy is a boss. Baird and Sam, with the witty banter, works for me.
The line about "you'll miss me someday." and "Only if someone bumps my elbow."
It is refreshing that someone has superior repartees to Baird's.

Game play is good to this point, only in act 3, and played some beast and horde. I am looking forward to playing co-op this weekend, after reading comments here.

Played co-op with three buddies last night and we made it through Act 1 on Hardcore. Very impressed thus far, and this game is going to be MUCH longer than the previous two (or so it seems). Nearly 3 hours to get through A1.

Played a good bit of Horde, we got to lvl 40 on normal before the 2x life, 2x damage Berserker (last enemy of the round) got us.

Multiplayer has been hit and miss, the experience is great but I've had some AWFUL teammates lately!
