Is all of the hooplah true about Gears not supporting partys of friends going into matchmaking together? I heard it rumored that friends could play customs/campaign together, but matchmaking is a solo deal...can anyone confirm/deny? This could determine if I purchase this title.

The way I understood it was that in ranked games, it does not support friends. But, in unranked you can get your friends together. The arguement is that they dont want any cheaters/boosters.

I think they should do away with ranks all together. Lets get back to how multiplayer used to be...all about having fun with friends. This would get rid of all the stupid boosters.

Yeah, I think ranks are retarded. Heres an example.
Some random kid: "I'm number one in Gears of War in the world!"
me: "Do you want a cookie?"

I think that the amount of blood will actually affect gameplay. Ive been looking at screens and videos and the blood almost fills up the screen. And i think while the art looks very nice to many things blend with each other

I am psyched for the game. It may have to be a vacation day, if I can confirm that I can get it on Tuesday.

Found this snippet in the Bungie.net weekly update:

Quote:
bs angel

With the recent release of information regarding the limitations of entering ranked matchmade games with a preassembled party in Gears of War, has Bungie decided how it's matchmaking system will work in Halo 3 with the preset rules Microsoft has in place?

KP

I think that whole thing was blown out of proportion and somewhat misinterpreted. Those are guidelines, not “preset rules” and Halo 3 will do everything it did before, and more in matchmaking. Gears of War is a different game and is approaching matchmaking differently.


I was worried that not only would Gears be like this, but lots of games coming out. This was a relief to read.
