There is lag, but I haven't really had any games where the lag is to the point of affecting gameplay gravely. Unless of course, I'm playing with my friends with horrendous connections. :eek: There is also a rather big problem with Gears MP in this area... host advantage. Basically the host's bullets reaches where he shot instantly, so person with bad connection+host=very bad idea. :lol:

and I remember unloading a full Lancer clip into a guy (while he was down), him getting up

You were playing the gametype execution. In execution, you have to curb stomp them, hit them, or point blank shotgun headshot them to kill them.

and hitting me with the pistol one time while I was at full health, and I died.

He probably did a two pistol shot+beat down on you, you need to watch out for that.

I was done with the game forever after that.

Sound like you were kind of quick to judge it. You should really consider giving Gears a second chance. ;)

I know it wasn't execution, I got kills before that. I'm pretty sure it was just bad lag, and yes I was quick to judge, I totally realized that, but it just pissed me off enough to say "fuck it" and move on to something else.

The only gametype you can revive yourself in is execution. :rolleyes:

His dude picked him up. I still unloaded a full clip into him while he was down, before his buddy ressed him. Regardless, it was a laggy game, doesn't really matter :P.

Oh... I hate when that happens. :p

Annex is better then execution becuase it lasts as long as you want and you can respawn.
