Tack on "Laggy, and almost nobody playing" and this counts for PS3 as well.

I've had no problem whatsoever with "lag."

The lag is probably a product of the small playerbase.  If there are only 12 people around the world playing at the same time you are, odds are you're not going to have great latency.

I wasn't even able to get into a multiplayer game when I tried the thing out because I couldn't find a server anywhere near me that had anyone playing on it, and I refuse to play with a ping above 100.

They should have listened to the sleazeball marketing exec who probably wanted to call it "Gears of War Tournament", that would have sold more boxes :grin:.

Edit: hah, the spell checker fixed sleezeball -> sleazeball for me.

Maybe I need to jump in the games you are in then.  I got this yesterday from GameFly and had noticeable delay in every game i played.  To the extent of running over a weapon and thinking i missed it because it took so long to show up in my hands.

I noticed in the server browser that a lot of the servers have very high pings (some over 2k) but i specifically went after servers under 100.  I dont think its my connection specifically since i'm well under 100 on most of the warhawk servers.

Gamefly?

Heh, I assume you mean the PS3 version?

Yeah the PS3 version.
Gamefly is a game rental service like netflix.  Saved me a shitload of money on games i thought i would like more (like UT3 for instance).

I know what Gametap is, heh. That's not what I meant.

I mean, it's the PS3 version. The install base isn't really high enough to find a bunch of great servers. Everyone's still playing CoD4.

I dont see it getting better anytime soon based on the reviews this thing is pulling in.  It's not a bad game by any means, just bad timing.

GameFly is different from GameTap btw.  (i'm assuming that was just a typo on your part but...)

Wait, this game is out already?

Yea, it was a typo. I just read the GameTap email that started with Parappa the Rappa lyrics, so it was on my brain.
