Why can't Insomniac take the time to release a patch to fix some of the issues with their damn game. First and foremost, why the fuck am I constantly respawning in middle of an enemy group in Team Deathmatch? that shit just happened again not even 10 minutes ago. I respawned in a house surrounded by 6 members of the opposing team.

AGAIN. What the hell, man?

The weapon damage is so inconsistent it's pathetic. I literally unloaded an entire clip into a guy with a carbine and he was still running around. Then they give you the M40 grenades in the carbine which are a one shot-one kill affair but ... The Bellock is supposed to be some kind of grenade launcher and that shit almost never works like you expect it to. A direct hit from that won't kill a player unless the target is damn near dead to begin with. But it's supposed to be a grenade launcher...go figure.

Team Deathmatch rounds are too damn short. Just when you finally start to settle into a groove, the match is over. 60 player Team DM up to 160 kills? Come on Insomniac. Who's dumb ass idea was that? It's SIXTY people. You couldn't extent that to 320 when a 10 player Team DM match can also require 160 kills which it almost never met with a group that small?

Come to think of it, weapons in R2 never work like you expect them too except for the Fareye, the Energy Cannon and the M40 grenade. Even melee hit don't work like you expect. I don't care if I'm facing the guy, it hard as hell to get melee hits in most R2 matches...If I get the hit that should be a kill. Period.

Last but not least. NO MOUSE AND KEYBOARD SUPPORT, which is a disgrace on a console that supports it natively. Epic showed us the way. They knew dual analog controls were lame for Unreal TournamentIII. They supported both so all fans can be happy and play the way they like. Don't want to play against m/kb users? the servers and games are marked. simple. Why the hell is that so hard to do?

Like I said...360 gets the support once again that gamers deserve. Ps3 owners...not so much. We're left wondering "why not" when Epic can release a patch to address issues in Gears2 that clearly needed to be taken care of and Ps3 fans have to bear it or just walk away and not play because one of the "biggest" games of 2008 for the PS3 is still only a second-rate FPS because Insomniac didn't want fix problems that had to be clear in testing.

Hey Epic...while you're at it can we get some trophy support for UTIII on Ps3 so I can kick R2 to the curb and play a real FPS? Looks like Killzone2 isn't supporting m/kb either

@ KamikazeSailor -

I thought Gears 2 would lag because Live is a P2P service? So you're lagging because the host isn't playing on fat pipes?

This is the only thing I loathe about the current gen.
