Gears of War

Wow, this thread is going again? Cool, I still love this game, but when Halo 3 comes out, I won't be able to go back...

You will, you just choose not to.

Despite them both being very different, very separate games.

Is it normal for the game's Framerate to lag a bit when playing Cooperative? B/c the game has never gotten stuck or paused while playing until I played cooperatively.

Probably...same thing happens in Burnout.

If someone else was hosting over the internet, then yes it could be the reason. Lag affects all multiplayer games.

If you were hosting then it shouldn't have anything to do with it.

No, it wasn't over the internet. We were in the same room using one Xbox.

Ah.

Sorry dude, sounds like your 360 may be going.

Nah.

God, you've got to be kidding me.

That's never happened to you?

It has to be b/c of Cooperative play b/c it's never done it any other time.

Could this be linked to my situation in the Next Gen Thread?

......stupid controller syncing mechanics......................

Yes, my 360 was doing the same thing and it crashed a few months ago, still need to call Microsoft lol.

I don't even have a launch Xbox360. I got mine a year later.

There's something to this college and console thing.

I bring up my Playstation 2....................dead.

Now my Xbox360........................soon to be dead (you all say)

Ugh.

Well I hope it would just hurry up and die already so I can get it back in time for the upcoming releases.

Why haven't you called yet?

Eh, don't feel too bad, IR. It seems most people have their 360 die at some point. Mine did earlier this year.

In fact, out of the 4 people I know who has a 360 (including me) only one has not had theirs die at some point.

Mine died 6 months ago, or it was just plain annoying with its disc read error message....****ing message.

mine died last month, but i purchased the two year warranty for it at best buy and was able to get a brand new one. I only had five months lef ton teh warranty too. Looks like things worked out for Joe this time around 🙂. Best buy is cool, they gave me another year warranty on the replacement free of charge. If i were gay, id give best buy a free blow job

Wow.. pretty freakin' sexy!

Looks complicated, though.

OK, I realise that this thread seems to be dead for quite a while now, and when it was alive...we were talking about broken consoles...but I have found something new on Gears...the campaign too no doubt.

I have noticed actually, that all of the building in Gears of War, if you look at them...ALL resemble Greek and Roman style buildings.

If anybody here knows about Roman and Greek architechure then you would notice the very similar arch style of buildings that the Romans used, as well as the very similar styles used by the Greeks.

Like when you are on the first level where you start off with the lancer (the level after you escape prison?) and after your first skirmish with the Locust, you go up some steps and Emergence Holes start coming up, but before they do, they take your camera and they focus it on the building to the left and it looks sooooo much like the Parthenon (The Greek one, I think the Roman one was the Pantheon), they look almost exactly alike.

Anybody think this might play something in Gears 2 (it is inevitable people), or am I just taking too much history right now and noticing similarities that aren't really there?

What significance could it have? It's just architecture.

Yeah, I dunno exactly what significance there could be. That panning shot in the first level I think was just done to show off some of the beautiful graphics.

Yeah I don't see how that'd play in. I doubt the locust are going to turn out to be some greek mythological creatures if that was what you were getting at.

When I got my 360 GOW came with it, I was really excited to get it, what a big disappointment it was, I can't play it for long at all without it becoming tedious and boring, to here of a sequel I say good luck to them, but I can't see it doing well.
