Quote from Epic:

Hey all,

I’m happy to announce that this morning, at 3:40 AM PST, we released a title update that should help with the current matchmaking issues. In order to get the update out as quickly as possible, we focused just on immediate infrastructure issues and have left any potential gameplay issues for a future update. Here’s what’s in today’s title update:
Adjustments to make Public matchmaking faster, especially in the single player party and the four player party case. Some of these adjustments should be felt immediately and some will play out over several days as our update enables us to reduce player segmentation by reducing the number of servers required to do matchmaking. This will increase the number of possible matches available for you to join.

A tweak that should prevent us from losing some of our additional detailed stats data that we gather for gearsofwar.com. Due to the large number of concurrent matches, our stats gathering servers were not able to collect data for every single match played. The Xbox LIVE leaderboards are 100% accurate but our existing stats web pages may have some missing data prior to the update.

A fix to address the issue where some players were unable to start the story-based campaign if Xbox LIVE was down or unavailable.
Something to keep in mind, if you have been playing Gears 2 since the title update was made available, then you will need to restart the game in order to be prompted for the update. If you don’t do this, then a situation will occur where people without the update will not be able to match make with people who have the update. This has nothing to do with the game or this update in particular, just the way the title update system works.

We want to thank everyone for their patience during this time and we will continue to monitor the situation. We’re hopeful that the matchmaking issues we’ve seen up till now are a thing of the past.

Thanks,

Rod.

I see glitching as problematic also, it decreseas the amount of competitivity in my opinion, if the grounds are not equal. I only glitch in private matches, and I ask if they mind. If I do it, it's for a joke, and not in public, EVER. Actually, I think the biggest glitch they need to fix is the shield glitch, where you can hold any weapon. I know how to do it, it's way to simple, anyone could do it in a public match. The ghost man is more difficult, and requires the standby button on your modem. I've probably said too much, but the glitches are very easy to perform, and need to be fixed. The matchmaking is one step forward though.

Please stop typing this unreadable babel. I have a headache from reading that jargon. Show everyone that you have some sense and type properly. That sorry excuse at a sentence doesn't make you look "cool" and don't tell me that its easier either. It is much harder to type internet slang than to key english. You will see that I have addressed this on COG Army as well, and I am sorry for coming off cross but this really really needs to stop. I'm sure everyone else will agree, punctual errors and grammatical errors and spelling errors are understandable but your composition is ridiculous.
