Xbox 360 Fanboy

I love GOW but this is stupid. All of are friends play ranked. We want to be able to see are stats. We do not stack teams. We usually have people waiting to get into are rooms when they restart. People are still going to cheat the system no matter what they do. The reason we play ranked is to get the Achievements. We want to play with friends not to stack teams but to be able to play as a team.

I guess I will start playing Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

1. Maybe you didn't mind the system but I haven't been able to play a proper ranked match since the game was released because of stackers and friends kicking me out of "their" game. It royally sucked. Hopefully this will be better as that's a part of the game that was ruined for me and a lot of other folks.

And it's "OUR" not "ARE".

I agree wholeheartedly with Zeke. Ranked matches have been ruined by people stacking teams, quitters, and players solely going for kill achievements. Good riddance to host names, until they can properly implement a "party" system a la Halo 2.

Thank god they are fixing the nade tag distance, and the mic problems.

That sucks, it's lame you can't play a ranked match with your friends. If 8 friends want to play a ranked match they should be able to.

I agree with pat 100% the whole stacking and playing with friends was completely ruining ranked, it was so tireing being told to get over to locust or having the room abruptly end because it was full and the host's buddy didn't make it. I think this is a good tempory fix for now until they can get a party system implemeted, over on the gears forums Mark Reihn had some encouraging things to say about future updates... so here's hoping...
oh and if 8 friends played ranked the boosting would be HORRIBLE in this game abosolutly horrible. it's bad enough the way it was already hopefully this fixes it..

oh and when i play with my friends we play player matches.

I haven't played online multiplayer on GoW yet, so I don't think I'll really know what I've missed or appreciate whats new. But from what I read in these comments, it sounds like the host name being removed was a good thing. I don't know if I would wanna be bitched to leave a game if I wanted to play ranked.

oh boy, no more BS kills from people tagging me with nades from like a mile away.

So people that have started clans cant play in ranked matches together? It someome how works in PC gaming why not in console? Is it our fault that you retartds who want to play ranked matches dont have friends, try to put your efforts into getting some rather then bitching about it, and if you're getting kicked from ranked matches HOST ONE! Is it our fault that you suck at the game and get worked every match, the teams aren't stacked you just suck THAT much. In reguards to playing with friends in "player matches" it never works becasue people leave all the time when they get their ass kicked lame fix ppl want to play with friends in worthwile matches.

I actually hate playing with people I don't know in ranked matches. Because its so great to be in a room with three idiots who refuse to talk or let you know where the enemy is. If they're going to remove the host's name could they at least implement a goddamned party system?

No changes to the Newbsaw?

Jack -
It's arrogant pricks like you that are the reason I stopped playing Gears online. The system was specifically set up so cheaters like you wouldn't be able to team play with all your clan buddies. Play a player match if you're incapable of enjoying yourself without friends. Youre obviously too busy exploiting the system to realize some people want a fair match, not to be put with a bunch of idiots who refuse to start a game until there friend can join there side. I look forward to playing a game where the host doesnt tell me to shut up and switch sides "because he says so."

Oh yea, next time you wanna call someone a retard, make sure you can type it in english.

If you want to play with friends, then play in Player Matches - it's that simple. Ranked matches are meant to test your skills as an individual, when placed on a team of random players. It's not meant for you to stack teams with friends or clan members so that they can help you improve your position on the leaderboard. If you can't handle playing without your friends and clan members, then Ranked was never meant for you in the first place.

You could also display some level of patience and wait for Epic to figure out a party mode, like Halo supports. When you're fighting against another highly skilled team of four, and getting 'worked' yourself, I imagine you'll be singing an entirely different tune..

Dear Steve and Jack,
Please put down the console controller and turn off your Xbox 360 immediately. Then, get up, go to school and learn English. You need to worry less about clan stacking and more about what you're doing with your lives. Those comments were just painful to read. Have pity on your fellow forum readers.

Zachary,
Please cry more it helps, and if it is people like me who made you quit playing gears good riddance. No one can "make" you stop playing but yourself, you could deal with it like the rest of the people who still play but you decide to crawl back into your hole and give up, and most likey that translates into your real life experiences.

Lag compensation please.
Halo2 has it, even counter strike has it, what makes GoW so old fashioned?

You can't get kicked from ranked you can only be kicked from player match.

I can tell your r the bright one. You say you have not been able to play a proper ranked match.You must never have played a ranked match because you can't be kicked out of a ranked match. You must be playing player match. You will see less ranked matches due to this change.

The only people who cry about wanting the host name removed are people on xbox with no friends. The only thing they can talk about is other peoples grammer and spelling. I doez nOt ned goood spelng to wiN a MaTCH with AspectRatio or Zeke. I will even play with my eyes closed. Saying you have been booted from ranked matches really comes from someone that plays the game.

steve50310: You CAN be yelled at over and over again to leave a ranked match because the host and his buddies are waiting for friends. If you don't leave they end the game. Or worse. That's what I meant. I think you knew that already.

Hosting a ranked match is worse unless of course you also have a gang of people to find your game real quick.

By the way, a lot of the other folks that gave up on ranked matches did play great in player matches. Met lots of them. Now we get to return to the ranked games and exact some revenge. Sweet. :-)

How is hosting a game worse? That's probably the most bone-headed thing I've heard in my entire life. Hosting a match is the best way to avoid team stacking. Tell me, do you really think a team of four people is going to try and join the same game? The odds are very slim they could all find it in time. You might run into two people that are playing together, and there is nothing wrong with that. Not to mention you get a big fat zero ping when you host.

Perhaps you lack the patience required to fill a ranked game, or the knowledge to open NAT on your router?
