Last week, X-Play and G4tv.com traveled to Cary, North Carolina to visit the offices of Epic Games, developer of Gears of War 2. During our visit, we got our hands on the upcoming downloadable content pack for Gears 2 called "Dark Corners," which consists of seven new multiplayer maps and the deleted scene "Road to Ruin." For more on that, read our hands-on preview here.
We also got to sit down and talk with three of Epic's major players: company founder and CEO Tim Sweeney, design director Cliff Bleszinski, and Gears 2 executive producer Rod Fergusson. Topics included the new content, as well as thoughts on the direction of the industry, motion control, digital distribution, and much more.
Interview with Cliff Bleszinski
Also, be sure to check out today's episode of X-Play for more, airing (of course) only on G4.

Why they didn't mention this, it's because we are talking about Epic and Mircosoft. It's like cursing God or something like that to them

didnt g4 say they were giving a code to the deleted scene for gears2
vanapes

i think that gears of war 2 is awsome it does have alot of new stuff and some of it is really gay and i see why people wouldnt like it in comparson to gears 1. but with this new map pack it will bring some of those people back to get the achivements for the deleted scene but like always the price could drive them away
MASTEROFWAR101
it would be nice if the maps were 1200 ms points but thats just me

its simply because G4 likes being microsofts butt buddy. despite all the claims that they aren't swayed by one company. killzone 2 is a great solo and multiplayer game from sony.. yet you pretty much hear tons of news and fluff pieces for gears of war 2., fable 2, xbox live, etc etc.

Why don't any of the reviews mention any of this like they did with Socom?

Don't you just love these guys? I could punch that smug idiot Clifford in the face,over and over and I wouldn't get bored.... 3 videos each around 10 mins, not a mention about lag or host, nothing!
The match making! Let us play what we want! If I wanna play annex on a public snowblind match, I might have to wait all day, as I might not get the annex option!
Gears 2 is broken Epic, fix this poo before everyone everyone deserts you!

I watched all 3 videos very useful for soon to be game developers like myself but BAD because NO one mentioned the 2 worst things that completely ruined the multiplayer HOST AND LAG. They never used either of those words once. I think Tim Sweeny is such a good programmer beceause he cannot communicate to other people like normal people do. That is how a lot (not all) left brain people are they speak in sticcado use big words and do a poor job of communicating their ideas to others, without complexity and confusion. For example "Company X" why no just say other compnay!? anyways my point is the programming at EPIC is what is causing this game to fail on the online and I keep breaking stuff because of HOST advantage lag switching, standbuying, and LAG, and that is why Gears is always number 4 in most played online. THEY need to say hey we have a big problem and say we are working very hard to fix it and not just in the forums I wanted them to say it out loud with words and that DID NOT HAPPEN, sigh, now I want to play but I know the anger that will happen afterwards

I played last week for a few hours just to try again and I actually had no problems but I still won't pay them for dlc.
I loved the campaign though and wouldn't mind some more of that.

i've had so many bugs that it mostly has me feel like i'm going to hulk out. one time i was knocked down by a smoke grenade and couldn't get back up but i was able to switch weapons around.. another bug was as i was playing as a drone instead of holding a weapon my arms were propped up like the karate kid.
i've known about the lag switchers and i've even seen how some of those punks were able to get 5 people in 4 on 4 match or as i've seen far too many times. a group of F##kers that somehow end up being on both teams.
cliffy b won't fix anything for his games since i'm sure his title at the company creative designer the last i heard. doesn't really apply for him to fix a thing but concepts or demo the game in front of media. the game is broken because they rushed to bring out the title for microsoft.

make it free I wont download dlc for this game they released it days after the game was released talk about a cash cow

Nope you get no money from me EPIC. I loved gears 1 and now I have a broken crappy gears 2. Thanks I will run out and give you some money asap. NOT! Fix your broken game, matchmaking, cheating. Kinda cool how Bungie bans people for cheating yet everyone gets away with it on gears 2.

Best part about the latest Title update for Gears 2 is that now douchebags have found ways to get out of maps ala Gears 1. GAAAAAAAAAAY!
swede7754
The lag you're suffering from is mostly the douchebags who've created lag-switches - There's even a great "how-to" video on YouTube. While I've experienced NO bugs, personally, I know several people who have constant problems. I'd really like to see a TU that addresses the lag-switchers. Instead of THEM getting penalized, I lose 1500 points for quitting a CRAP match to report a switcher?! That's something that dedicated servers could monitor & fix, YA HEAR THAT, CLIFFYB?!?!?! Such an easy fix compared to all the complaining.
MegaMark26
is it just me or is this blog oozing with tons of corruption and blood money from xbox and epic games? when will someone just get some balls and ask epic up front why their game is broken..full of bugs and lag..no matter how many updates they put up. it still doesnt fix it. and why they feel the need to add more content. is it just to try to take away that awful truth?
@RRODisBack
stupid parents who never should've had kids to begin with. seriously.
