Awesome. Now please make it as good as or better than Halo 3's party system.

I agree. Say what you want about Halo 3, but the party system is by far the most advanced one on 360. It makes it easy to play with friends, change gametypes without disbanding the party (COD), and provides better matchmaking.
I wouldn't mind if it was a direct rip-off.

I think you're expecting a lot. You could easily call the player match mode in Gears 1 a party system.

YES. Epic you own. Now just give us party based matchmaking for ranked and party joining and server searching for unranked and you will have a perfect system. I feel like its a bit restrictive in Halo and think unranked should have matchmaking, but also server searching for public games.

Thank god. Seriously, this would have been a major f* up. I think party systems should be the standard in MP team based games.

Hope they add a rank leveling up feature as well, a la COD4, RSV, H3. It would be EPIC...no pun intended.

i hope not. gow was perfect besides the lack of a party system, which i feel didn't even bring it down that much.

This is by far some of the best news for Gears of War 2.
That's also a pretty awesome pick of CliffyB haha...

It's not news at all since it doesn't really say anything. Player mode in gears 1 could be called a party system.

Halo always has been many steps ahead of the competition in pretty much every aspect, but hopefully EPIC gets on the ball and makes a party system on par with what is expected.
