WTF,

DAMN did you beat it on Insane?
Anybody else having trouble getting your saved single player campaign to load when you're connected to Live? It won't load my game unless I unplug my ethernet cable.
Nope. I finished the game today. I did one chapter on casual cause I set it there on accident, now I gotta remember which one was it.
Yeah. It started for me after a while.
We need to get an ST party one day. 5 people and rank up.
ST clan?
No, just a party. All you need is 5 people.
I've been stuck on the gold rank for a week, don't know how to get above that.
Let's play.
hit me up when your online man, im either playing that or COD: WAW
I haven't played online yet, but I listened to a 360/Gears podcast the other day where they were talking about how terribly ed the ranking system is. Some people will win 50 matches and not rank up while sometimes people are just ranking up for no apparent reason at all. Nobody knows what the ranks are, because they're just using arbitrary symbols, or how to affect them. Furthermore, they're just matching up people irregardless of rank. Seems pretty ty that a game of this magnitude could up the logistics of its online component so badly.
They rank you up by rank. It can be a . My friend has that rank after the golden thing, so if we play online, the other team will have all gold, and sometimes we get stuck with a guy with 1 bar.
LOL I guess it is pretty ed. I just read on the xbox.com forums about a guy who's first game went from no rank to the rank with 2 bars after finishing the match with 1 kill and 2 deaths.
Let’s take a moment to look over the ranking system in Gears of War 2, to make sure everyone understands what they’re looking at when they check out other players online. Your rank in Gears of War 2 multiplayer is based on your TrueSkill rating, which calculates the relative strength of all players on Xbox LIVE.
Gears of War 2 RanksThere are five ranks total, and the first rank is achieved after you play your first multiplayer match. The more Gears 2 matches you win, the higher your rank will be, and your rank will go down when you lose matches. Rank is not affected by Horde Mode and private matches. The ranks are displayed in game using the icons to the left.
TrueSkill is like the chess ELO system, which tries to predict who should win the match based on the skill of the players. If you were predicted to lose and your team wins, then your TrueSkill goes up more than if you won and you were predicted to win. This holds true for the inverse scenario: If you were predicted to win and you lose, then your ranking drops more than if you were predicted to lose.
Rank is not a constantly increasing value, such as is typical in role-playing games (RPGs). Your rank may plateau or even drop as it closes in on your correct and accurate skill level. It will probably take tens of Public Xbox LIVE matches for your rank to move in one direction or another, and it may even take hundreds of matches to achieve a skill with the highest rank we offer, assuming you are good enough to get there.
Also, keep in mind that each rank icon represents a specific range or bucket of TrueSkill values, so while your skill is fluctuating in very small increments from match to match, your rank icon will only change when your skill moves from one bucket to the next. Therefore, your rank is not just about number of kills or experience or the amount of time played. It's an aggregated representation of your skill level based on your wins and losses during Public Xbox LIVE matches. And yes, quitting will lower your rank.
