Along with the other fixes their implementing, I'm happy with the overall update on paper. We'll see how everything goes when ranks get reset.

I'll probably play Gears Of War2 again when this hits the marketplace to see if I can get back into GoW2. Because I know for damn sure I played GoW1 WAAAY longer than GoW2.

I'm with you on that. Gears is still one of best games to play with 4-5 people on your friends list. I enjoyed those clan matches we did on Gamebattles a lot.

Yeah..I remember..Good times. Fun as hell.

I still can't put my finger on exactly what went wrong on Gears of War 2 that I don't like as much...I mean the Campaign was a lot more action packed then the first, but something is wrong in the multiplayer. Something is not RIGHT! Maybe that it's too complex? Maybe we just liked the simple, "Here are a few weapons, you're big dudes/aliens, go shoot the other team" that made it fun.

But now there is grenade tagging(on walls), missiles from the sky, iron shields, meat shields, etc etc. Almost too much variety, which means more weapons to try and dodge, but still with the same basic maneuvers of running and taking cover.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Give me your thoughts.
 
I having a issue with my campaign on insane mode so I hope this next update works....if not I guess I have to start all over and try again.


insane is a bitch to me (no live so no co-op)
 
Gears 2 seems too slow compared to Gears 1.
I cant really enjoy Gears 2. Its just not, fun.
 
I hate two piecing. I hate it, i hate it, i hate it.
They should add something to remove it entirely.

Ah yes, It's f'ing ridiculous. I try not to do it, but literally every other single player does it. The only thing I can do is fight fire with fire(which then makes me feel like a bitch and it also gets boring really quick), or just try to use other weapons(which usually fail because they charge right through you and do a two piece.).
All they need to do is lower the stun from the melee or increase the cooldown after using a melee attack. It's that simple! But as of now, THERE IS NO COUNTER.
BLARG!

But yes I agree, Solo was a blast. It was action from start to finish. Good show!
 
Its sad to see how they went from having one of the best online games for the 360 to this crap.
I dont get it, they had a good thing working with gears 1 and they change things and now its boring.

Oh and stun grenades need to go. I hate it when your on stairs and you have to wait 10 seconds before you can get up.

Well those 10 seconds stuns are being addressed if you checked the first post lol. The new update is including that and other things as well. Stuns are now 2 seconds no matter what.

Yeah. At least reduce the damage. Because as of now, you get the power of a sniper bullet in a melee with a STUN!

Rigged anyone?

Ya it doesn't make any sense. They went through all the weapons from Gears 1 and balanced them yet left melee damage the same. And for some reason the hammer of dawn is the only weapon that does the least amount of melee damage, this must have been a huge oversight.
