I noticed yesterday when they had that 4-a-side match going I had just 1 minor issue with lag in a game out of many.

Now that 5-a-side is back on, it's gone back to the usual lag fest.

Does anyone know why that is and why MS/Epic doesn't sort this out permanently?

We've been asking the same thing since November 2006 without any proper answers from Epic.

Some bloke from Epic did promise that the lag and host advantage would be far less in Gears 2 but it turned out he was lying just so that everyone would buy the game.

Good luck in getting your answer.

Thanks. It seems I'm not the only one then. I can't believe that Epic would treat its customers like this and what about MS? Surely they should be applying pressure on Epic to get their act together for such a flagship title. If it wasn't for these lag issues, this game would be perfect.

And you'll be still asking in 2012.

Lag depends on your connection to the host, not just your connection as a whole. A team of Europeans against a team from America means that one team will lag more than the other because of latency.

A host on each side will only guarantee that two people will not lag.

Bring back the melee stun and remove the auto lock after melee and the two-piece will drastically reduce.

But Epic knows all of this better than us and yet nowt gets done.
