Why would you block it? It doesnt do anything. It only says there is patch nothing else.

well, i havent even touched that and liked it 
The only qualm i have with the game is the "missing" intro. It just kills the atmosphere at the beginning.
The strong points about the game are all about immersiveness for me. The maps looks good to great, the enemies are fun to fight and everything looks just about right for the post-apocalyptic setting (better than hellgate london imho). What really helps is the shoulder camera perspektive and the ease in which one can pull of great looking actions (it reminded me off PoP, where you also can do great things with little physical input). Jumping from cover to cover while your team helps you cover, shooting blindly or targeting more precicely, running fast while ducking. That all gives a great sense of being in the game and being able to pull it off with just the bare minimum of buttons with an easy learning curve makes the game fun, not it makes it FUN. Add to that the shakey camera feeling in the video-sequences that really draws you in visually (surely they watched battlestar galactica ) and i cant see, why people hate the game so much?
I mean, we get innovative gameplay and a decent storyline with good to great gfx and people still complain? I guess the same goes for the crysis thread. Sure, some people cant run the game and that would also annoy the hell out of me, but have people forgotten to differentiate between the game and performance issues  |

Exactly why? Because MS doesnt want to support free downloaders?  Patch for legit users only is absolutely normal thing |
No because MS is trying to take over everything. Some people in colleges with internet access aren't able to use xbox live so they have to rely on hamachi which they made near impossible to do.
Not only that but now in order to play a private game which we've been able to do for years we now have to pay for live gold. Their trying to take over PC gaming the way they took over console gaming and i say the hell with that. |

If you mean the "muted", "vivid", "default" and "intense" settings those only control the brightness of the game or if you prefer they alter the lightning system in a variety of ways.
I prefer "Vivid" myself, "Muted" was a little too dark with "intense" being too bright.
EDIT: Fixed minor spelling errors.

I like the Intense option the most (me being an HDR lover in general) here and in UT3, however in UT3 I found the most useful option during intense MP matches is to set it to Muted.

I don t know if it works but I found that on Hamachi forums
| Quote: | Usage instructions:
1. Overwrite existing files keeping directory structure.
2. Launch game and play.
Live support was disabled (profile will be saved in your My Games folder) and only LAN games will work.
There won't be any checks for ping and game will be fully playable over Hamachi or any other VPN.
If you want to play over Hamachi, make sure that Hamachi virtual adapter is in higher priority than
your all other network connections.
Yes, all players will have Player1 as a name, it is not changeable unless you "hex" OnlineSubsystemPC.u.
P.S. You can disable startup movies by removing StartupMovie from WarEngine.ini

Where are my saves located, so that i can backup them. I searched in "my documents\Gears of war for windows" but the checkpoint folder is empty  |
As of now it's supposed to be fixed via patch which apparently you only get automatically from windows live

I've explained over 300 times already that the only way hamachi is going to work is if you and your friend are under 30ms. It's a protection from MS |

hmmm, then it all defeats the purpose of itself than. The whole point of "lan" is not having to be connected to the internet to play your games with other computers so if it's still trying to do ping checks then that's bullshit.

Sorry SpykeZ but I can t understand your grief (perhaps it s due to my low level english knowledge)
The problem was :
Some want to play LAN over internet with HAMACHI but due to the ping it s not working.
and the fix says :
only LAN games will work.
There won't be any checks for ping and game will be fully playable over Hamachi or any other VPN.
Moreover the fix has been successfully tested and now it works and that s a good news for all those hamachi player so unlike it was told 300 times before you can now play coop with Hamachi with a ping above 30 ms
Enjoy

WOW.
i am stunned. i finally finished downloading this... im ashamed to say how long it took, but... well... you know when the game came out, you do the fuckin maths
5 minutes in, bam, crash to desktop... and that was the second crash... first happened while i was setting the video options... originally i was pissed, but then i saw it was an EA game, so i just kinda went with it...
the 'off-shoulder' camera view is pretty weird... i keep wanting to move to the left every time i come to a door-way...
the weapon recoil is just rediculously lame. you can tell they totally went overboard with it to make the console versions easy gameplay 'harder' on the pc version by cutting corners and adding handicaps...
only nice thing i can say about it so far is that it has very forgiving system requirements... everything turned up to max @ 2560x1600 = 50-60 fps
i dunno... is it just me that has this feeling like a kid waiting all year for christmas, only to open the present and find out the toy is pretty... well... average...
i dunno...
maybe i just shoulda played this before cod4?
oh, i should mention, i am a fan of the whole washed out high contrast colour scheme they used in the game... im a sucker for it in films and games, and its used to really nice effect here. i guess i can also say the visuals are pretty good for a console port
WTF?! NO FSAA!!!! TEH SUCKAGE!!!

Everybody needs to remember that this game was out on the 360 first but started out and has been running on the pc for quite some time... In fact all the videos and demos that were in all the trailers for the 360 was actually the pc game and not the 360... I dont understand how they took this long and still released such a turd...
