Well, after playing Gears 2 for the day, my friends are pretty much thinking of going back to Gears 1 becuase of how many MORE chainsaw noobs are in Gears 2 than 1[ not to say they're without them], the stupid smoke grenade, and how much more fair challenging Gears 1 is. I also like the Achievments in Number 1 better, now if you flame me for posting gears 2 as my GOTY, when i wrote it the problems of 2 really werent too noticable and now they are. If anyone wants to maybe play Gears 1 with me please send me and friend request. Gamertag is in my sig.

I sold Gears of War 2 already. I liked the campaign/co op, but the multiplayer just pissed me off. I dont get upset over any other game, but Gears/Gears 2 just has a way of making me want to throw the game.

I was wondering, is the single player is good enough to warrant the 60 dollars. I'd like to buy the game but I've heard the single-player wasn't that great and I don't bother with the multiplayer.

I really enjoyed the single player campaign. Thought it was quite exhilirating in places.

Not sure if I understand where you're coming from with this chainsaw rant man.. it's a valid attack and it wouldn't make a difference if you're playing Gears 1 or 2.

If a guy get's close enough to chainsaw you, either he pulled it off on his own or you let him.

The chainsaw is overpowered. No weapon can counter it (stopping power). Advice: Don't rush in and get pulled in by it. It's that simple. RUN!!!!

lol the chainsaw difference in gow1 and 2 was that in gow1 u had to hold the b button longer for the chainsaw to work. if that feels imbalaced, go mash the b button faster. all these 12 and 13 year olds complain bout how much online sucks, but that's only cuz it's not as easy to play as say halo 3. gow1 and 2 are both shotty fests, and i didn't have a problem w/ either, even before the massive gow2 patch. the only thing w/ gow2 is it's occasional slow matchup speed. takes 5-10 min. but it doesn't happen often

I initially quit playing the game because of how ridiculously glitchy it was. I even vowed not to play it till a patch was applied. But by the time the patch came around no one on my friendlist was even playing it any more.

I played it, it seems for the most part fixed. However, smoke grenades anoy the hell out of me and with no one to play it with but it's terrible, terrible community(much worse than even Call of Duty), I don't see myself playing it anymore after this sweepstakes thats running ends.

Yeah really, kinda agree that online multiplayer shouldn't really matter. Back in the day you actually had to have FRIENDS, a MULTI-TAP and a game that was able to support more than one player on the same system. It's getting ridiculous that there is absolutely nothing save from Tony Hawk, Skate and sport games taht have a great co-op/local multiplayer. GOW 2 had horde and a great campaign, why should it matter if multiplayer is lacking in some area. And also keep in mind that most gamers are cheap little 12 yewar olds that just love sniping and using cheap weapons to make them look better.

Gears 1 has all the same issues as Gears 2, the whole problem is that Epic never bothered to fix them.....plus they just patched Gears 2 and itis running a lot more smoothly now. But, hey, if you want to play an older game with all the same problems go for it.

Wow, man, this is one of the most bitter posts I have seen for a while. I have FRIENDS, as you put it, but I still enjoy playing with my Xbox friends online when I have time at home. It's really no different to me than talking to a friend on the phone as I do something, so I fail to see the issue. And not all gamers are 12 year olds.... that is about the most inaccurate thing I have ever heard. Most gamers are between 20-25. If you don't believe me look up the data yourself. I am 22, in college, married, and with a job. I am about as far from a "cheap 12 year old" as you can get, and I routinely play with people who are 35 and over. So please keep the broad, generalizing judgements to yourself. Oh, and you weren't the first one to say "If you want peace, prepare for war", so take the me off of your sig and replace it with Vegetius.

I am right there with you man. Gears 2 is just wretched. Horrid horrible bad. It pains me because Gears 1 is one of my all time cherished games.

Wait, a couple posts above this said that 12 and 13 years only complain bout gears becuase its harder than halo, thats not what im saying, im going to gears 1 becuase of how much more balanced the game feels and how the people are a bit more challenging in the good way, take for example the smoke grenade does that stupid stun thing which feels really cheap and and they raised the boom shot to 3 shots instead of leaving it at 2. Im not bashing on Gears 2 in anyway people, its still a very good game with a great campaign and good multiplayer, im just saying im going back to gears 1 because i think its more balanced [multiplayer is where im coming at]

They were very relevant when the game was released, it's unbalanced all around.

yea thats why me and my friends went back to gears 1. gears 2 is just a rush to see who can get that 2 piece in first. im almost positive people melee more than they shoot. and for all those who say that 2 piece is a valid way to get kills, youre the ones who are keeping gears from being fun. all the 2 piece does is make the gameplay as repetitive as a broken record.

I like Gears Of War 2, but I effin' LOVED Gears Of War 1. I think they're both great games, but I'd have to say Gears 1 KILLS Gears 2.
