    I know... it haunts me. ;~;
    I imagine the Energon Gnomes as little pointy holographic purple and red Gnomes that get into trouble.
    Or maybe tiny robot gnomes that steal Energon?

    I still have to level up all four of my classes, but I am SO NOT LOOKING FORWARD to losing all my levels, XP and characters afterwards to restart the leveling process anew. I don't have enough time to play, so I may end up boosting when I can to at least hit Prime, if anything :(

    I've thought of boosting my rank after getting Prime but honestly it seems like more trouble to organize it then to just do it legit.

    I'm not going to, it can sound appealing after wiping out all of your ranks though. I've already got mine back to 15, 15, 20 ,20 so I'm not going to bother boosting.

    hey I would like the option to actually choose the map. And they need to fix the texture issue that is due the the Unreal Engine 3 because this problem is in Gear of War. You can start up with flat textures before it finally loads up.

    I hear from others that you get Prime Mode challenges and the xp goes to all classes. And what is boosting?

    It does, though it doesn't help much at all when you get into the later levels.
    1500 exp doesn't do squat when it takes 30k to level up.

    I see....



    ...and prepare to suck it up when you are getting your arse handed to you.
    I'm convinced that most times for disconnection are due to the Host getting crushed and just not wanting his/ her stats to suffer on account of the massive beatdowns

    Dont forget the system freeze ups everyone gets every 20+ games every 3 days or so. That happened to me once during a private match. I got back on and apologized. good thing they believed me I didn't want to be known as a disconnecting host...

    Every time there is a game with bad lag I suspect foul play even though I don't want to. Most of the time I'm wrong.

    I did find it amusing when there was a laggy match and I was doing very well. My spread was over +10. Had I been anyone but me, I would have assumed I was cheating.

    I have to agree. Why else would anyone end a game when all that’s left till victory or defeat are points in the double digits?

    It would be nice to see those back-outers get punished with demotions. Yes, demotions. Seriously. But I wouldn’t stop there, I’d borrow the marking system used in BlazBlue: those who quite before the match finishes have their names marked in red and a counter below their name displaying how many times they’ve done it. I don’t know how long your name stays red, but I assume the mark disappears after fully completing a set number of games from start to finish; however, the number of incomplete games stays with you forever.

    I’ve wondered that myself, as I’ve slid around the stage attacking a soldier from the back (several times even) to no avail only to get shot to death by his partner:(

    I wont set here and lie, I dont play WFC no more. The campaign was great, escalation mode is cool to, but there is to many bugs in the multiplayer and to much stuff is unbalanced for me to really enjoy it like I thought I would. I tried playing escalation today, and it was cool, but I did 1 game and switched to something else. I know you cant make multiplayer perfect but these unbalanced issues the game has makes it to where I dont have no fun at all. Maybe when and if they put out another patch to fix some of that stuff, I will give it a try again, but right now, man my 360 is just chillin.

    I think so too. I'm starting to get paranoid about everything in the game now like a melee form a scientist leaving me with only one bar of health as a leader.

    I was enjoying this game so much and then I had to move and stop playing for a while. I also missed the double XP weekend entirely. Now there are like 1/10th of the players there were before and minimal people on my friends list playing. I still do alright, but certainly some of the prime time has passed.

    I want to level everyone up to 25 and finish off the achievements at the very least, but it seems like it will take another 2x weekend to do it

    The double XP hasn't helped that much, in a week I got mine back to 20,20,15,15 without playing but of an hour or two a night after resetting them for prime.

    When you get host who quit most of the time or not being able to join a match double xp does help.
