| Im surprised a thread hasnt already been made about this game. For about two months all I heard was great things about Gears from everyone I knew. There were some people who complained about the online play and length of the game, but they were "Halo-Kids" so if it isnt Halo of course theyll complain.
I beat the game is just a couple hours on casual. The length of the game really let me down but the quality of the experience was top notch. The first half I went through alone, and at times it got so tense at times. It was awesome. It got even better when I went into co-op, strategizing with a friend just adds to the fun but it also speeds up the gameplay big time. After beating casual me and my friend went into Hardcore and beat it in one sitting. Still athough its short its still fun to replay. I havnt tried online co-op but I have played a bunch of versus. I have yet to have any problems with lag, which is niiice! My only complaint with online play is that youre only given one life, and once you die you are stuck watching until the round is over, which sucks but its the way the game was meant to be played. The most satisying moment in all of Gears for me was chain sawing an entire team online back to back, total round time 00:00:20. Im awesome  |

| I haven't played it but I watched some friends play multi player online... and it was pretty boring to watch, I thought. People died within seconds, mostly to chainsaws. Where's the thrill of the hunt? | |||

Your friends suck  . The chainsaw is easy to stop. If you get shot it "turns off" I guess. The thrill is ducking behind everything you can, jumping for cover and having intense shoot outs. If youre a noob that lets everyone sneak up on you and chainsaw you in half then of course it wont be fun. Also if for some reason a chainsaw weilding enemy does get close enough somehow and you have a shotgun out a well timed shot will take him out in one hit before that chainsaw owns you. |

| My point is that is not just how my friends were playing specifically, that's how people online in general seem to play. Why even bother playing like a sniper or a hunter when nobody else even tries to play sneaky? I've heard and seen a lot about the cover system but nobody seems to use it in multiplayer.
My only other complaint is that while it is graphically impressive, the colors are too drab overall and not varied enough. |

Because sniping all of a sudden becomes more difficult if people are using cover like you usually do in real life, rather than a rudimentary ability to duck.  So, if you REALLY want to play as a sniper, go ahead. But it isn't going to be easy streets like most games.
The thrill of the hunt is brought on by survival in this game. Your enemies, you don't know their skill level and if you know what you're doing it can scare the shite out of you. You just cover, run, gun, and try to figure out how to kill your enemy. But, if you go on the hunt a new realm of strategy opens up. The other guy is thinking to do what you'd do if you weren't hunting. Cover, run, and gun. You have to find a way to survive. And kill him. He'd like to kill you, but he'd rather wait. Also, chainsaws are easy to stop. You stay back. And shoot people. Usually when you have the chainsaw out, you're hunting. If you're not hunting, or counter-hunting, then you stay back with more powerful ranged weaponary and knock the fucker down. He doesn't have range. |
