What to fix with Gears Of War 2

1: Longer Campaign
"Oh crap they got me down. HELP!" The campaign of Gears Of War was revolutionary in regards to its co-operative multiplayer campaign. With the ability to play the game and invite a friend, or to be playing and have my game open for my friends to join was awesome. I played the entire game with a friend of mine, and we enjoyed ever minute of it. The only problem was the enjoyment was a little short lived, and left me waiting more. Luckily the multiplayer aspect of the game kept us playing 3 nights a week for about 1 year, so it worked out to our advantage in the end. But I would still like to see a longer campaign in the sequel.

2: Hosted Multiplayer Servers
"Gee, can you guess who the host is?" As I stated before, we played GOW multiplayer for approximately 1 year usually 3 nights a week. But that's not to say there are not flaws in the multiplayer experience, and the biggest one is the host advantage. If you have played the game, then you know what I mean. I don't care how you fix it, just do it. The logical solution is to use some of the money I pay for my XBOX Live subscription and put it towards some servers to host multiplayer games on. If you figure out how to do it without hosted centralized servers fine, but if not then bite the bullet and host it for us.

3: End the Chainsaw invincibility glitch
How many times have you witnessed a comrade fall victim to the chainsaw bayonet? (I love dishing out someones demise that way). You know it's too late to save your friend, but try to kill the enemy while he is chain sawing your team mate, but your weapon seems ineffective. I should not have to wait for someone to complete their chainsaw or curb stomp animation for me to kill them. Epic, make it so.

4: Sticky tags round ending
Ok. If it is me and 1 enemy remaining and he tags me with a sticky grenade, but he also dies in the explosion, don't give him a kill and a win. Or worse, don't give me the victory when all I did was stand next to him when I blew up. No, if we both die from the same grenade, call it a draw.

5: Ranked Matches
Let me play ranked matches with my friends. The achievements are mine to unlock, you don't have to make me play with totally random people who I have no faith in completing a match to the end. If me and my friends are going on together, its because we want to play the entire game together.

6: Active Reload
Something has to be done about active reload in multiplayer matches. How many times have you been killed (or done the killing) by continually being downed by a shot from the sniper rifle that someone has the active reload on. I propose a few different things.

First, make active reload selectable when setting up a multiplayer match. Some times you might active reload so much that you want to disable it for a while.

Second, don't make active reload available unless you are firing rounds at actual enemies. How many times have you been watching someone on the spectator cam setting up active reload when they are not even near combat? You should only get the credit for pulling off the active reload in the heat of battle.

Third, at least for the sniper rifle, make it work only every other shot. Great, you downed me with a active reload shot, thats fair, but don't give that person the ability to keep downing me until I am dead.

Last, vary the timing of the active reload, make it a little harder to pull off.

Maybe a cool dog that they trained to kill locust. The dog could have big bulky armor like the gears. Oh no RROD. I do like the sound of destructable environments. Maybe a cool motorcycle fight. A V8 chainsaw. "Like a hot knife through butter." Maybe a few summons and a couple of phoenix downs. I want a grenade pistol. Maybe a snow mobile and instead of teh tread in the back it could be like 5 V8 chainsaws in the back. So you could run people over and cut them up. Make boss fights more fun. The ones in gears 1 felt like a chore. Oh another V8 chainsaw. Maybe alittle background on the gears family like behind the music. Some type of .50 cal. gun or a tank. More cowbell. Oh and lots and lots of beer.Killfox

AAAA confirmed with beer.

Half of the stuff I said was serious the other half whats just fun and games. The highlighted is me being serious.

They already have destructible environements so thats a huge plus, upgrade the graphics (it's always nice) and a longer story and I'm sold.haris12121212

If thats your idea of destructable environments then thats just tsk tsk.

Gotcha. I thought you were talking about Gears of War. Then yes I do like the ......

"The achievements are mine to unlock" = flat out wrong. Ranked matches with friends is a horrible idea. You cant trust people to not cheat in these situations, and getting together in a room to simply cheat your way through the achievements undermines the entire point of setting these challenges in the first place.

I agree with hosted games however. I also think that if i snipe a guy while he's performing a curb stomp animation; surely the guy he was going to stomp should live? I mean as it is obviousl you cant kill a guy curb stomping. The animation has to finish and then you can inflict damage again. I think you should be able to shoot, and kill, a curb stomped however before they make contact on the player's head.

Get rid of active-reload sniper rifle. No weapon on any game should be a one-shot, from-the-hip, huge-reticule, insta-death gun regardless of where you're hit. Just wrong.

I just want the movement to be fixed. Everyone moves like a tank. I know they're big dudes, but come on...SolidSnake35

Even though the game isn't remotely aimed at realism, that is in fairness how a soldier realistically moves. You're weighed down by so much armour and gear, you're going to slug it along at a consistant, steady pace. Gears wouldn't feel the same if you were sprinting around at full speed like Dante.

I would like bigger teams (6 on 6 would be perfect IMO)

I would like a bit tighter controls and the option to play with a keyboard & mouse hooked up by one of the usb ports. if not that i would like customizable controls. I would have loved if the A button would have been assaignable to one of the bumpers. it would have made running and camera control so much easier.

I would like a bit longer campain

four player co op

a story that is fleshed out.

underground civilizations of the locust horde would be cool.

maybe the chance to play as locust in single player. that could be pretty cool. or some locust have defected to the humans side and you can play as them.

i would like more death animations, perhaps a specail kill animation with each weapon, like a pistol whip head bash would be cool.

rrr i have a lot more... but i will just end it hear because who cares what i want haha it is what the developers end up doing.

What I want in Gears of War 2?

- Like the OP stated, fix the Host advantage problem, nuff said.

- Fix the chainsaw, if I shoot someone coming at me with a chainsaw it should go down ALWAYS, not most of the time and none of that chainsaw vacuum, I don't have too much a problem with the invincibility thing but it'd help...

- Fix the grenade explosions, about as random as the boomshot in terms of radius.

- Melee, it's unfair that when someone melee's you with a weapon excluding the shotgun you're pretty much dead unless you have teammates around, they should make all melee's like the shotgun, in which you can only use it once and then have to wait a few seconds before using it again, in other words you can down someone with two consecutive melee's.

- No vehicles, no more than 5 vs. 5, I'd stick to 4 vs. 4 but that's me...

- Please rid the game of glitches/errors, no more weapon sliding, getting out of maps, weird moonwalk run thing, etc.
