[360] Gears of War 2, still no Denise Richards shower scene :(

I can't stand the idea of bots in public matches let alone private (takes the fun out of xbox live). I don't really have a reason other than the fact that it takes forever for bots to finish a round if left with no human players.

If the XP is implemented it might draw more people to the game because it'll give them the sense they are accomplishing something; but then again they'll quit because they don't want to loose it.

How ya doing, buddy?

It makes the rounds a lot less stunted after someone lags out.

Also, it wasn't mentioned in the article Omagnus posted, but they are talking about having an XP penalty for leaving matches early.

Holy crap your signature hurts my eyes

Yeah I rarely choose to play games were there is bots, but that's just personally opinion. Good point with the cascading quitting (didn't even think about that). I just don't feel any satisfaction in killing a bot in a ranked game. Also a lot of people just quit because they're losing. If you're on the team that is pwning it's kinda satisfying to win and get on with another game.

Sorry about the signature, It's the first one I've ever made.

How ya doing, buddy?
