imo the best multiplayer features is cod black ops, if you go to quick matchs, you can join
less than 30 seconds, and usually if one of your friend is playing, you can join their session
immediately. and if playing against asian players korea,japan,sing. i always get 3 or 4
bar green connection.

now compare that with gears 2, not only you can't join your friend ranked match, searching
ranked match takes forever, need to rely on friends invite. but i enjoy gears 2 more than
black ops coz i like 3rd person shooter game.
