Gears of war is finally something different. However, it seems that everyone is still hating, claiming that, "It's just the same old thing over and over again." Oh really? Then why is everyone complaining about the NEW outlook on the campaign and the NEW game modes and the NEW controls and the NEW multiplayer game play? The reason no one is giving this game a good review is because it's something different and change scares people. I've beaten the campaign and I'm a level 40 online so I have definitely played this game for many hours already. The new take on the campaign is weird I'll admit, but it also makes it very interesting. Playing the testimony of each character was a fresh way of portraying this untold, but perhaps unnecessary tale. Either way it was well done. Then I started playing multiplayer and the first thing I noticed was the new controls. It makes for easier, smoother game play. Also, multiplayer seemed to take a turn as it's not everyone running around with a shotgun. You can choose only one weapon to start out with, making the game eclectic in its weaponry. However, they did take out the gun executions for multiplayer. At first I couldn't help but think, "EPIC WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Then I realized they definitely wanted to add speed to their multiplayer, so taking out the gun executions made sense. However, if you want to spend time beating some players face, you still can. They also removed DBNO, resulting in quicker game play as well. Also, the new game modes such as free-for-all, which isn't such a sh!tshow after all, overrun, and domination makes the player adjust your style of game play, something a challenging game should always due. There are a lot of changes to this well known franchise, and I think they are all for the best, but yes I agree it makes for a totally different gears. Try opening your mind, absorb the fresh taste, and keep on playing.
