Gears of War 2′s really shitty lag, plus trying to check the Tac/Com, yielded this fail:
And this wasn’t just a flash of discoloration. It hung around long enough for me to take a picture – in fact, it hung around until the next round. And that black box on the left isn’t something hanging over my tv, it’s a graphical glitch.
They really need to fix the lagginess in gears. The lag, as well as other issues (such as the game terminating for everyone when the host leaves), would be circumvented if they let the game switch to a new host the way Halo 3 does.

Gears 2 = FAAAAAAIIIIIILLLLLLL
-melee through walls(lag? or just stupid? probly a little of both)
-any weapon with shield(glitch), crabwalk, kungfu flip, and many many more glitches to gay up the game even more
***shotgun shoots at ground when your aiming right in front of you(the game just basically decides to make the shotgun 10X shittier in gears 2)
-due to the above, you almost always have to 2 piece with the shotgun to guarantee a kill with it, blind firing RARELY works
-can get stunned multiple times(if chainsaw = revd) from the same shot
-no more shooting while running, have to stop then shoot(making the shotgun even shittier)
-cant run or roll right after melee anymore
-chainsaw battles arent just decided from how much b is pressed, can also be instigated towards a player who doesnt even have the chainsaw revd, great for lag
-in matchmaking, i was lvl(?) 1 and got demoted…to lvl 1…even though i was never promoted in the first place…
-The whole host system is shit since theyre near impossible to kill, esp if they have a shotgun and like you said if the host leaves then the whole match ends and everyone gets booted, no host swap/switch
-the host can boot you for killing them once after theyve active snipered you the entire match
-so what does all this mean? it means i am thankful for all the ppl that realize all this and play gears 1. granted, some of these affect both games, theres just more of a shit pile to deal with while playing gears 2.
