    Wow, multiplayer is surprisingly...balanced.

    As in I actually feel safe to drop my shotty for once.

    As in nade tagging is almost completely useless.

    As in it's actually useful to throw a smoke nade at the enemy.

    As in I haven't heard the word "host" muttered yet as an excuse.

    As in the number of cries of "buuuuuuulshiiiiiit" per game has been reduced from 10 to only 1 or 2.

    As in...wait...I can actually use my pistol to do something other than melee?

    As in I can shoot the enemy from above 25 ft away and it will actually down them.

    As in you actually need to have some skill to use the sniper.

    As in the mortar being the best weapon addition to a multiplayer shooter since H3's splazer.

    As in bullets having stopping power to prevent those "heroes" from rushing through a firestorm to shotgun you.

    As in the maps each having variety, uniqueness, and destructible cover.


    Kudos to Epic for making online gaming addictive again.

    yeah i liek all of the online changes a lot. but everyone who like played gears 1 religiously hates it. its like why, cause now you cant down someone with 1 active sniper shot? cause you cant just run straight up to someones face and shotty them? cause people actually do more than take out the shotty at the beginning of the game and rush sniper? cause you now actually have to take cover and choose the right weapon for the situation, like the game was originally intended to be played before everyone screwed it up in the first gears?

    one thing about the campaign though, the brumaks kind of lost the fear factor. in the firts game they were kind like this thing that was pretty much indestructible and made everyone scared shitless, but in this one they kind of like were thrown at you, and pretty much died when you coughed on them, until the time when you actually got one and it turned invincible again. it didnt really bother me that much though.

    Yea, but in the first game you never fought a Brumak, so you were just scared shitless for no reason...

    And I played a fair bit of GOW1 but I'm liking this much better right off the start. It took a few games to realize that shotty rushing fails miserably about 90% of the time, but I've somewhat adjusted and am (slowly) learning my way around the new maps.

    Nothing like getting *****-slapped by a wave of snow to teach you not to camp the mortar area...

    my point exactly. like i said, everyone in the game was scared shitless whenever a brumak came, so they always ran instead of fighting it. (when you escape the mansion, for example.)

    The effect created there makes GoW1 seem so much more small-scale compared to GoW2, as the Brumak was seen as indestrucible and the most badass locust creature in the original, while in the sequel you practically destroy them right and left.

    It's like GoW1 was just a skirmish, while GoW2 goes to the heart of the war.

    Ik right? I love though a nub who thinks he is uber smart for running away from a fight, planting a mine and hiding around a corner. It happened again today.

    I was in a game right? So it came down to me, a teamate, and one enemy guy left. So my teamate ran off, and by the time I found him, He was down and the other guy had a boomshot. So I ran in and tried to protect my teamate, but as I reached him he died.

    So I shot at the only remaining locust. He ran, shooting a final boomshot and going around the corner, droping the boomshot for a torque bow. So I ran after him, picking up the boomshot. Two corners later, I run down some stairs and then see a badly placed mine in the wall, a few feet away. I creeped foward, then dived back as it explodes.

    The nub, thinking I was mortally wounded if not dead, jumps out from behind cover like hes a sheer genius. It was funny though cause I was waiting there at the top of the stairs with an actively reloaded boomshot, and two seconds later he was a bunch O pieces on the floor. I had a good laugh lol... thats like the new grenade tapping, geniusly laying out a mine trap, running behind a corner and waiting for someone to run into it, and then pop out with a shotty...

    that nub. lol XD

    And dont forget about the enviromental kills. like the avalanches, sharp hail, train, seeder, and who knows what else that kills you when you go on the fields.

    Wow, multiplayer is surprisingly...balanced.
    Agreed, a bit too much though..

    As in I actually feel safe to drop my shotty for once.
    Sadface, I'm opted to? Why not, chainsaw rapes it. But what to drop it for...there aren't any weapons on the maps..

    As in nade tagging is almost completely useless.
    Nade taggin is never useless, if you are good, and wall taggin is 10x more so.

    As in it's actually useful to throw a smoke nade at the enemy.
    Agreed, awesome change

    As in I haven't heard the word "host" muttered yet as an excuse.
    Agreed, though it's a disadvantage now, with the stupid blood splatter.

    As in the number of cries of "buuuuuuulshiiiiiit" per game has been reduced from 10 to only 1 or 2.
    Lolol I do, from the other team when they get raped :) Love 25 year old gears1 douchebags who suck at 2 "those x's make you name super hcore sneezytodd loloolo, oh **** guys he died quick shutup before he hears you"

    As in...wait...I can actually use my pistol to do something other than melee?
    Pistol was always good, it's just better now

    As in I can shoot the enemy from above 25 ft away and it will actually down them.
    Range does seem to be increased

    As in you actually need to have some skill to use the sniper.
    Hmm, yeah I agree. Though man, I wish there were more of them on the maps. Maps feel so empty.

    As in the mortar being the best weapon addition to a multiplayer shooter since H3's splazer.
    It's cool, a weapon you can actually use in the midst of a laggy ass game (right Tz?)

    As in bullets having stopping power to prevent those "heroes" from rushing through a firestorm to shotgun you.
    Hmm, if only the shotgun did...the lancer is powerful enough as is.

    As in the maps each having variety, uniqueness, and destructible cover.
    Gears1 maps were better I still think, I think it's just because of custom player matches had way more/better weapons on them. Though it still seems like the old maps had more weapon spawn points. Also, the cover isn't "really" destructable.


    Kudos to Epic for making online gaming addictive again.

    Agree 100%

    Now it kinda sounds like I don't like gears lol. And my issues aren't realy that big. The chainsaw should be gears1, there were no points to change it. The shotty should be in between 1 and 2, and they should have the old system of matchmaking still available. Where you can make non-ranked public matches which people can see in a list, join randomly, jump in and out and you can set the weapons/rounds/times. Those are my only real beefs with the game.

    inorite!? :D

    Same here. 'cept the nothing was answered part... just a lot of new things.

    That could be the case. Since it did sound like he was. Though I think Adam Fenix is still alive and he is infact out there. The whole him being dead thing was a lie... and most likely used to demoralize even more Marcus.

    They're very much like the flood, but way more badass. I think that Niles was basically making his own type of Locust.

    777 ftw! lawlz.
