Dunno whether its me, but Matchmaking is really slow at the moment.

Got into one game, and i sucked, says i got 1 kill to 3 deaths, so the other people must have been nicking my kills, as i had about 3 downs. Although the only round we won, i was the Leader, people don't realise they need to hold back when they're leader.

Yeah, so im not so good at the chainsaw duels. :eyes:

Didn't enjoy that act as much as the first 3, was a little dull. That first pointless switch really confused us. :P

You won one! XD Can't wait to see you dueling online.

Yeah, prefered the first 3. But still, I'm enjoying this so much, most of the story is gripping, apart from the little pointless vehicle sections, and I think Hardcore is just the right difficulty, except for maybe the bosses. But even then it's not really bad. Can't wait to finish it.

And Horde was amazing as well, a load of fun.

Played online for the first time today. Loving Meatflag, and most of the new maps are quite good, but think I still prefer the old ones. Day One is brilliant though, Meatflag on that is amazing.

Great last act i thought. Final 'boss' is a bit of an anti-climax after Raam on the first.

Liked the ending though, very cinematic.

Yeah, the last boss sucked. Probably thought they'd let us off easy after fucking Skorge.

Not happy we had to watch the credits though. XD

New map pack out, nobody plays this online, otherwise I'd play it more. :( I quite enjoy it.

Quite confusing that. Basically I think at retail there's gonna be a collection of all the current map packs they've released at the minute and a new expansion called 'Dark Corners', with 7 new multiplayer maps and a new single-player/co-op chapter. Or you can buy Dark Corners on it's own off the marketplace.

Dunno if they'll release the retail package here but I'd quite like it, I do enjoy Gears online sometimes, but hardly ever play it because nobody else does, as I've said before. :P

Jim, we're definitely gonna have to get the Dark Corners bit just for new co-op. :D



EDIT: Oh they are releasing the retail package here, it's got a UK price of £14.99 at the top. Deffo gonna get it. July the 28th.

hmm, the retail pack with everything pretty much works out the same as just the DLC.

I dunno though, i love the co-op, but for £15 it sounds like im paying for a lot of multi-player maps and i've never enjoyed Gears online really.

And they're herdly selling the Co-op much, Deleted Campaign Chapter? Why was it deleted, lol.

Still a couple of months off, so we'll see.
