Re: Gears of War 2

For those of you that played Multiplayer, are the weapons still so one sided? Does it become a race for one gun like GoW1 was? Like everyone runs for Boomshot and Tork Bow and the Machine gun is pretty much useless? That was my biggest gripe with GoW1 and will determine my purchase. Also reading that review doesn't help when I am a big single player Gamer and it says that single player leaves something to be desired. The only interest I have in this game is Horde mode but I dont want to shell out $60 for one mode.

I've had a long night. My roomate loves the game. I played for first three chapters of campaign then called it quits, I was just too tired.

I'll hopefully get more impressions to you soon....

From what i've played last night, it seems like a race for the boomshot but that maybe for nostalgic reasons and people still learning the game because I've only seen it happen on the Gridlock map... the shotgun has been toned down a lot and the Lancer/Hammer Burst is just as effective as the shotgun if you have an active reload working

Re: Gears of War 2

I just want to hear about multiplayer. I only played the first one for a while (not sure why I am so excited for this one) but I can't wait until this afternoon.

Someone said something about the ad in CC, you don't have to print it off or anything right? Just walk in, buy the game and get the 1600 Live points, correct?

This game isn't worthy of its own "Impressions" Thread?

I hope my blockbuster has this, this afternoon.

Why would it be? Other games don't get that treatment unless they've not had a hype thread made for them already, should be no different. Fable 2 hype thread turned into Fable 2 impressions thread. Fallout 3 hype thread turned into Fallout 3 impressions thread. GTA4 hype thread turned into GTA4 impressions thread 2 years and 637 pages into it now. Wouldn't make sense for Gears to get special treatment.

Re: Gears of War 2

I'm like a crack addict with the horde mode. Still can't beat level 10, have made it there twice. Horde is all I've even played so far, yet to play any 5 on 5, played single player's intro, and went back to Horde. Just love it. 5 humans working together against an endless Horde, with the weapons and stuff that happens, it's my online mode of the year no question.

EG, you play with 4 people you know or just randoms?

Why would that be any different? I'll be picking up the game soon. I know you all wanted to know, so there.
