I've been playing Gears 2 in co-op with the other player as host and the lag and glitches are unbelievable.

1. I "teleport" around all the time, not ideal around razor rain etc. Jumping a barrier then finding yourself back behind it 6-7 times in a row until you get mashed is incredibly frustrating.
2. Weapons lock up. The sniper rifle likes this one, I can fire and fire without needing to reload or losing any ammo, shame the bullets dont hit anything. This one is fixed by switching weapons and then switching back.
3. When a level starts, he is generally playing a good 5-10 seconds before I get past the loading screen, especially at the very start of a session.
4. Inconsistent graphics. During the snowy levels, He'd see our vehicle totally fine, I'd see it covered in flames. Better still is when he's screaming down the headset about us getting shot to hell and I cant see any enemies. We ended up telling each other where we could see them and shooting what appeared to us as empty ground to kill enemies only the other could see!


So is this normal?

I'd try starting again if I were you it shouldn't be like this...

Is the host someone you know?

Yep, host is a mate. We are nearly finished now so not worth starting again, but I'll be interested to see if its the same when playing hoard.

Its the first game I've bothered with on live and to be honest its got me very nervous about what to expect from others
