i saw quite a few glitches going through the game on co-op over live.
- twice the other guy playing as dom had a sniper rifle and it kind of locked into an automatic fire mode where he didnt have to reload, and it also didnt use any bullets.
- we've both gotten "stuck" in places where we couldnt move
- One time my controls were screwed up so when i was trying to move normally, i would walk as slow as if i was talking on that ear piece, and when i ran, he went into the running stance but was moving at the normal speed if you don't hold A.
there were a few others here and there. the hiccups during the checkpoints is normal, it was noted in a few reviews.
i also think matchmaking works great because it keeps your party around and you can pick a new game if you want. but it would be cool if you could keep the option to not go back into a lobby and it auto searched again for you.
multiplayer online is pretty much the same as the first one was with some tweaks. i really like how you can't rush at someone as they are firing at you, or if you are firing at someone they can't get power weapon shots off. one guy kept trying to boom shot me but i kept my lancer on him and he never got his shot off and died.
i also have to get used to the revamping of the shotgun. hwile it's still powerful, people charging at you w/the chainsaw while you have the shotgun equipped seem to win the battles more in gears2 than gears1, so i gotta get used to that for sure.
oh and i really gotta learn the maps
