It's fun...but I like RB6's cover system more...so that basically takes away any advantage Gears may have had.

Same here. Waiting for someone to buy my copy on ebay. I won't be able to play RB6 until monday after Thanksgiving.

I'm now playing this game thru for the 2nd time and I can't believe ANYONE would trade this incredible game in.

To each their own I guess.

I loved the single player, but I can't get into the multiplayer. Also I can't afford to have a drawer full of 360 games. Right now I have Kameo (paid $16), Viva Pinata (paid $40)

I have not played this game yet, but I have a question about the multiplayer modes. For the split screen how many people can be on the same console???

I second that, but for different reasons-I'm into the multiplayer.

Just not my style, and don't have time to play it, COD3, RB6 and WWE...and out of those 4 games it's the odd one out.

I love GOW multiplayer.

The mp is great, but if teams are uneven, it is not too much fun. Whether it is a one man disadvantage or having a couple awful noobs are your team, GOW gets frustrating really fast. But if things are balanced, this game is fantastic.

Re: Official Gears of War Impressions Thread

Just thought I'd say... this is probably the bst game I've ever played.

Re: Official Gears of War Impressions Thread

Question - is there anyway to save different checkpoints under the same profile? I would like to save a spot where my buddy and I left of playing co-op and another where I play SP. This may answer my own question, but it appears you have the ability to go back through all checkpoints/chapters and replay. Thanks for the help.

This game is amazing.

I just wish they had the swat turn for the RB6. The demo didn't have it. But beside that the RB6 game will ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But that's the case with any game...

If you're playing single-player and you start a split screen campaign, you lose the checkpoints, but you still keep the chapters you've finished. So, while you may not keep the exact checkpoint you were at, I believe you can still go back to the beginning of the chapter you were in. It's not great, but at least they don't make you start at the beginning of the act (not that I would mind that anyway, haha).

Have fun dude, I'm in the same boat as you. Been playing single-player, and me and my roommate can't put down the split-screen...

I disagree wholeheartedly. In most multiplayer games, it does not require the amount of effort GOW requires to put someone out of the game. In most instances, you will be equipped with your machinegun. And to put him out, it requires quite a bit from your machinegun and then you have to execute while he is kneeling. That gives plenty of time to others, most likely already traveling in a pack, to put you out of the game.

How is this different than other games? Because other games don't require the effort to put someone down. I am routinely outmatched on COD 3 because I always choose axis and I will always be at the top of the leaderboard and my team will either win or barely lose.

It makes a big difference in GOW if your team sucks or you are down a man. You absolutely just get owned 90% of the time.
