Gears of War 2

The single player was awesome. The only thing I didn't like was acouple of the vehicle sections seemed a little long imo. Other than that it was good,
Spoiler:
Well actually the lack of a real ending boss was kind of disappointing too although the fight with skorge was pretty much the boss fight.
Oh and the story was fucking wintastic. I enjoyed my playthrough and can't wait to go back through on insane.

Spoiler:
Who else thought the locust queen was hot? I'd hit it. Seriously though they need to make her a playable character online, shed be bad ass.

I would take seconds.
 
Oh and
Spoiler:
I cried when Tanner died.
 
just finished my first playthrough and god damn

fuckin amazing game

Spoiler:
wtf was with the last part after the credits? any speculations?
 
Spoiler:
I'm kind of baffled by it since well I assume that Adam Fenix just went into hiding and was just presumed dead. I don't really understand a lot of stuff since this game left me with more questions then answers. The lab and what the recording talks about(the mountain incident), the locust queen looks very human(Marcus's mother gone locust?), and the ending where Adam Fenix asks us what we did when it was his plan in the beginning
 
Also, I love horde mode.

Spoiler:
I was very sad when Tai died, he was only there for a short time but he just screamed beast to me, I expected the second Carmine to die just because well he was a carmine, in response to Halifirien's comment Insane mode in GoW2 might be harder then Insane mode in GoW1 so I'm not really complaining. Also the lambent coming out reminded me a lot of Halo sorta with the flood and the separation of the Covenant.
 
Spoiler:
I still think locusts are human mutations or something along those lines. Something like they created them for the pendulum wars and it went wrong. I thought before it was just people effected by immulsion but gears 2 kinda ruins that idea. Anyway can't wait for gears 3, hopefully they rap it up and don't pull some shit like halo 3.

but for the second

make sure you put a "/" infront.

Yeah Raider I also think that Humans had something to do with the creation of the Locust for the older wars and the lambent are side-effects of the locust being exposed to immulsion

thanks.

Spoiler:
i think Adam Fenix was the guy behind the f'ed up test place with all the security issues. I would think he had something to do with creating the locus in a lab. I also then think it went as far as the locus queen suckering Marcus and humanity into droppin Jacinto as a solution... When it may have just gave the locus another edge. Like maybe it just killed a decent percentage of the locus but an even larger percentage of the infected locus.. Do you think these infected are the "other race" in the gears story?
 
Well the more I play multiplayer the more I get pissed off. Horde is still fun and got to 50 on that today finally. But online to me just seems very inconsistent. They say matchmaking optimized the host issues but I don't think it did. Games can still get dropped if the host leaves, so there still is a host. I notice it most with my shotgun. Sometimes I'm on fire with the thing and can rape, then the next map I can't kill people 2 feet in front of me. And no, its not my skill, i can tell when my shotgun is on someones fucking back and when it should kill people and it just doesnt do shit. Also when I'm reving my chainsaw and someone beats me down through it... thats just fucking bull shit.

Also I personally hate matchmaking. For ranked games great, but leave the public lobby in. I had 4 friends on today and you CAN NOT find a game with 4 people. We did not find one game at all. And then we get a fifth after like 20 mins and BAM instant game. Its fucking frustrating when you just want to shoot some shit. I really don't like the way the went a lil halo with the online.

Also proximity mines were cool at first, but god damn are they annoying. Especially the smoke grenades. People just plant that shit on the wall and sit in the fucking corner and its horrible. The reason the original gears was so amazing was the fact that it was FAST gameplay. But now when you got 2 dick heads who sit in a corner on wingman making the rounds last the full 5-6 mins its just fucking garbage.

One other thing, 5 teams in wingman is to much.

There is my rant on gears 2 online.
 
I agree with you completely Raider on pretty much every point. I also have one more, I can not fucking stand it when someone is revving up a lancer right in front of me and I fucking shotgun them in the stomach and they don't get any recoil and they just continue forward and chainsaw me.

Wingman I really don't have any problems with because well usually I never have much trouble getting overwhelmed by all of the teams. Oh yeah and the matchmaking system still sucks =p.
 
Apparently they did something to the Shotgun in online play so it sucks more...

Yeah its defenitily not as good as it was in gears one, but its still inconsistent. I'll down people from like 10 feet away with one shot, and then not be able to even hurt them from like 2 feet.

And yeah auron thats bullshit too. The fact that getting shot doesnt stop your rev anymore is just dumb.

I'll have to agree with this. i for one have hella fun with the online play, and what really gets me going is when you pull out your shotgun to kill someone around the corner they end up chainsawing you like you never pulled the damn trigger.
 
In trying to fix the problem, they just moved to the opposite extreme.
 
Well keep in mind its still fresh, I'm sure they will fix what needs to be fixed. I hope atleast, I'm sure they will though.
 
I've been team standby'd 2x so far. One game I was lagging around so much I ended up floating and then died from some weird reason and couldn't respawn and another time the game was completely laggy and the kid even admitted to cheating when he sent out a message to everyone saying that if they wanted to get some easy rank ups to join him...

Don't be an idiot, just fuggin' two piece the cheeky bastage.

The shotgun rapes, still, it's just a little different. Just stop a split second before you shoot and it's just as effective as Gears 1 shotty, since this game seems to have way less bullet lag maybe even more effective. The only thing that absolutly fails in this game, and makes the shotty look bad more than other weapons, is the damn cover system. When someone is takin' cover, and their limbs, etc. are slightly exposed, in corner cases fully exposed, sometimes you can't do damage. That's fuggin' retarded.

Wingman makes this the best multiplayer game ever made. The game could have just shipped with that mode alone, no single player, no nothin', and BAM, GOTY.

Story was good too, just like in the first but the endin' sucked. Hopefully they'll wrap it up next time instead of ruinin' the series with a fourth.

Oh, Chas, you're a bastard. 6 hours to beat the game on normal and currently doin' HC from time to time and it's almost as weak as normal. The hell took you so long to beat the game, get lost runnin' from "Press Y to look here" 1 to "Press Y to look here" 2 ?
 
I beat it on Normal mode just to get the story line out the way(didn't take very long at all) now Friend and i are on Act 5 on insane, and i'm enjoying every min of the game, getting alot of Achievements on the way.
 
The set of levels where you are riding on Seeders is fucking hard on insane. If you don't kill them fast enough, you don't even stand a chance.
