Ok so i wanted to make my first thread about a game i like.

________________________________________________________

We all know Gears of War 2 is an ultimate and awesome game. The gameplay, the graphics, almost everything has wiked element to it.

What i wanted to know is what you like about the game, and if you havent all ready rated it, do it. :D

What i like:

The enemy locusts, they are brillant characters aswell as the COG team.

Love the chainsaw duels, even though i suck at "button bashing" :? lol. (it wasnt available in number) thats why it was a good element.

Love the cutscences, one of the best ive seen in any game, and some are very emotional. - [spoiler] When Tai shoots himself, Carmine is like devoured in Acid, and Dom finding his wife, which was very sad and touching, which you might think im a wuss, but it makes you angry and makes you wanna rip off every locust head off and spit on it lol. [/spoiler]

Just wanna here your thoughts

Thanks

I just like the action and the cover system. It's simple but a lot of fun and the action is endless and varied in Gears 2

I gotta say that i have always been a fan of games with execution moves in them, and gears of war 1 kicked ass as well, but the executions just made the game all the better.

The only thing that sucked in gears 1 was that my fav character died, anthony carmine

Popping Locust heads with the sniper rifle is damn satisfying.

Well, i never got into it... it's just another shooter to me, But two things i do like about it are the original weapons ( tourqe bow, lancer ) and the cover system works very well.

the offline gameplay is amazing the AI are great and the wepons are sick as hell i must admit im not a fan of a love story mixed in with a FPS but its not a big deal over all the game is sweet....untill you try to take it online....sorry to say but gears 2 fails on live miserably....the matchmaking is like being led through a maze by a 3 year old and once you find a game the ping (lag) is so bad you cant even shoot a stang target let alone people movin from cover to cover... plus forget about joining a friends game .... i kno after that rant it sounds like i hate the game but dont get me wrong it is a 10 out of 10 offline but online is horrible thats all i am trying to say...

I like how the host has an advantage... how they "fixed" or "banned" standbying... (not)... and I like how the most powerful weapon in the game (the chainsaw) is used by noobs and pros alike.... I think that covers it....

But hey at least they didn't ruin the campaign.

The games sound effects make the most mundane activities unbelievably satisfying. the thud of a hammerburst firing, the snap sound it makes when you blow somebodys head off, and the wet smacks of punching a locusts head in are all incredible. even sliding into cover makes a satisfying sound.

The gameplay is awesome. The story is awesome. The cutscenes are awesome. Chainsaw duel is awesome. I love the sound of the 2 chainsaws grinding against eachother. :D

What else could you want!?

I can admit its fun for a day or 2, but story BAHAHA, you make me laugh, so what makes the story impressive? is it the poorly scripted characters that show no human emotion, is it the fact that the locust can pop up anywhere any time but they just dont do it where the main characters are, what about the fact that they could have killed marcus fenix before the game even started but they didnt, hahaha

No you dont understand, this is a weak meaningless story, that doesnt even have a significant purpose other than playing the game.

I like the single player campaign and the updated control scheme.

However, I prefered the graphic style and the more lag free online of gears 1. The graphics update was nice, but the artistic style was almost lost in translation. Just go take a look at screenshots of locusts in Gears 1 and you'll see what I mean.

I liked the campaign, the action, the gameplay, and the AMAZING graphics, best out there by far.
