Gears of War 2

Normal difficulty is basically playing itself so far :/ I can only imagine what casual is like!

 

And I LOVE the 'What's Up' section in the menu! I can see what every single one of you is doing :band:

^^ very true. The difficulty is completely dumbed down in normal :P The game appears damn short as well !

 

BTW, the game is one graphical treat. The cutscenes, the environment, the setting, to say its brilliant is an understatement ! You gotta see it to believe it :O A real showpiece for HD gaming. Just the

hollow interiors

of act2 will take your breath away.

 

But I'm facing one issue, I'm unable to find anyone in MP (other than those in my frnds list) on any mode. The matchmaking is not responding even after 3-4 mins of searching :( Is there any network settings I should be looking into ? Its really long since I've played online and don't remember what I should've to change !

Did you check your router NAT?

 

And the flexible difficulty might be a good thing. The levels (until now) have been so good that I wouldn't mind replaying them multiple times, especially co-op :O

Played a bit of co-op with AC, can't wait for more tomorrow. This weekend is going to be all Gears 2.

 

Also tried the Territories mode (my first Gears MP experience)! I thought it was quite fun, plus this mode lets me rack up the points in more ways than just killing.

 

Help: Is there a way to check how much XP you need to move up to the next rank?

Your Full-Sized Locust Drone Head Is Ready

Do you think you are the world's biggest Gears of War fan? You ain't nothing. Not until you fork over $549.99 to have a full-scale Locust drone bust in your living room. TriForce Sales, LLC have announced the finalized version of their Gears-inspired Locust drone bust, sculpted by Epic Games Art Director Chris Perma. Weighing in at fifteen pounds and measuring more than a foot and a half tall, it's an extremely intimidating piece of art that I wouldn't want to run into on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. It's the type of statue you put in a room you plan on never having sex in. The Locust bust is now available for pre-order, shipping in early 2009. God help us all.

 

Cheers

^^ NAT ? What I've to do there :P ?

 

 

Step 1: Get your Xbox 360's IP address from the system blade and choose network settings. Then edit settings should show your Xbox's IP.

 

Step 2: Go into your routers configuration window thru Internet Explorer. In the address bar type in your routers IP address. It should be default at 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1. When you're prompted for a password you have found it =P. If you haven't changed it the username and password should both be admin, and admin.

 

Step 3: USING DMZ When you enter into your router config window, you need to find the Tab DMZ, it should be under applications and gaming if you are using Linksys. Once you find the DMZ tab, click enable and type in the last digits of your XBOX into the box below. Yes when you do this you are opening all the ports on your Xbox, which is insecure, but show me someone that has hacked into an xbox 360?

<MAKE SURE YOU SAVE SETTINGS>

Step 4:Using Port Fowarding After you have enabled DMZ, find the Port Fowarding tab, should be under advanced routing. For the name type in XBL or whatever you want, and for port range put 87 to 89, choose UDP, then your XBOX last digits, and enable. Then do 3073 to 3075 choose TCP, then your XBOX last digits, and enable. Then again do 3073 to 3075 choose UDP, then your XBOX last digits, and enable.

<MAKE SURE YOU SAVE SETTINGS>

Step 5:Using UPnP This is just incase. Go into UPnP fowarding and enter in the same stuff you did for Step 4.

<MAKE SURE YOU SAVE SETTINGS>

Step 6: Now logout of your router config. Unplug your router and modem from the power, then plug in the router 1st, wait 30 seconds. Then plug in the modem and wait at least 2 minutes. If you don't do these hard restarts it might not work!

 

Step 7: Restart your Xbox and go to the system blade, choose network settings, then test connection. This may take a bit, but when it gets down to NAT type it should say OPEN. If not, sorry. You can just undo all the settings we changed, you can just uncheck enabled on the port fowarding. or if you want to restore your router to the factory defaults just push the reset button on the back of it.
