I loved gears 1 online although I was not a huge fan of the story, although I doubt anyone was because they purposly made the dialogue like a cheesy scifi. But the greatest part of it was bring guest online and playing with your friends. As is such the appeal of halo. I was really looking forward to going home opening up and playing with my friend who has waited in line with me for 2 hours. I logged online and spent 10 minutes trying to find how to log a guest in till I realized they had not included that feature in gears 2. In my opinion the worste mistake they could have possibly made. Not only that, but they have also made several key tweaks to the weapons that add up to make mediocre online play. For example the smoke grenade now stuns. Considering every player in the game starts off with one of these it makes it impossible to hold cover. It has already become quiet common for a gun battle to just turn into an exchange of smoke grenades. Also they have make it so you can turn frag grenades into a sort of makeshift mine. Naturally players are just standing on the frag grenades waiting for them to repop so they can put them in your spawn. They have also added a pointless ability to crawl while you are down. This is not only pointless its humiliating. Dont be mistaken, their is not escaping when you are down. It just makes it funner to humiliate you for the other team. Another wonderful addition is the shotgun is now even MORE powerful. Although they have managed to make it possible to keep them at bay from a range. Close range the shotgun is now extremely powerful and accurate. It is not at all uncommon to be eliminated by the first shot, which pairs just wonderfully with the smoke grenade stun. The game has just turned into a race for who can through a smoke grenade faster. Another huge dissapointment is the game types promised and maps. The new game types simply dont offer the excitement that simple execution and warzone provided in gears one, and the maps often foster overuse of smoke grenades and frag mines. I can say though the roadie run and cover system has improved vastly. The campaigne play is much funner, and the story is much more involving. But as a person who would only by a game for only play I am extremely dissapointed. Between no longer playing with guest, a very unbalanced play style, and not delivering on new game types, my worste fears of come true. After months and months of waiting Gears of war 2…… Sucks

Before you all start to call me a fanboy and stuff let me tell you that this is my first 360 game that i play. Why? I just got a 360 as present so i went to buy the best game out there. Unfortunately i was extremely dissapointed with GoW 2. Ive played the first game at my friends 360 and man i felt that i was playng the exact same game just with better graphics!! Thank god i didnt pay to buy my 360 so now i can sell Gears of Waste and buy Fable 2, a game that deserves to be in everyones collection
