Gears of War 2 Problems...

[sja360]

Me and my mate did GoW2 yesterday and last night, only to find multiple glitches and whats worse is he didnt get the insane achievement.

background story: we used my xbox 360, with him recovering his gamertag via xbox live, so we started gaming splitscreen, completed it tonight.

the glitches

1. we've had are from starting the game and loading a checkpoint where my mate died instantly! and not even from enemy fire...
2. during the "fish" fight where you go inside the mouth, we glitched in the middle of the boat, one of us got stuck floating in midair? wtf...
3. during the area on act 4, chapter 4, at the VERY end where you go down into a cave type area and take out some enemy's then it goes to cutscene with a locust jumping down and being shot by cole or someone. it instantly said. FAILED after it finished.

WHAT THE HELL. we have however come to the conclusion that being on xbox live "seemed" to have solved that problem.

Is it possible for my mate to recover a xbox live gamertag on my xbox then to continue on his xbox ? as it seems when we turned off my hdd with both our tags on it didnt work when we plugged his hdd into my console to retrieve and check the gamerpoints & achievements? does it require his console with its own harddrive to update to the new achievements???

either way i've got the achievements but my mate is rather peeved, specially because of all the stupid ass glitches we've uncovered while playing co-op insane..

Thanks for reading this all,
Stephen

a gamertag should send info back to the MS servers stating what if any achievements are gained when it connects to Live

If you recover a gamertag on a console and the console is connected to Live that would/should do it there and then. if the console wasn't connected to Live then I'm not sure if the tag would update after being recovered on the original console again? I'd guess and say it doesnt. It may have been that Live disconnected for some reason while you were gaming??

but def agree with you about GoW2, it is a bit glitchy in coop I've noticed


Possible SPOILER below if you haven't played through all the game yet i guess? lol...








Most annoying bit for me at the min is while your looking for the queen....there s a bit where you both go seperate ways (Marcus and Cole, Dom and Baird) down 2 long corridors on either side of a huge drop in the middle. Baird constantly runs ahead and gets him self killed, every single time! but on insane you can't just run up after him to heal him cos you get absolutly raped sideways lol You just can't kill the enemies quick enough to even attempt to either keep him safe or revive him!

yea we had a similar problem with tai at the first instance of using the mortars, the stupid butthead would run into the enemies and go fleeing past them, eventually my mate did work out how to stop that happening and we eventually got through it..

seems weird how Gears of War is quite polished and afaik in singleplayer has no bugs that spoilt me and my mates playing the game, yet GoW2 has quite a few from what i've read throughout a few acts.

I got stuck a lot in that where you fight the fish thing from a boat when i couldn't move and got crushed multiple of times and i was in single player mode. Annoying as hell that was

We had that a lot, it happens because the game has started on the host xbox but sometimes takes 10 seconds or so for the game to load on the other xbox. I was assuming my mate was in the game when he was dieing but on investigating we found it hadn't loaded his end. I had to become a bit of a human shield until he loaded up.

Worse was when a torque bow kept pinging him before the level had loaded his end.

We got the fish glitch a lot as well.
