Gears 2 is everything I had hoped it to be.
Granted, we ALL wanted SERVERS rather than player hosts, but I will admit that EPIC definitely got rid of a lot of the lag, or atleast the HORRIBLE lag that was in Gears 1.
The campaign seriously sucked me in right from the start. I think it was right when the "Assault" chapter started that I got goosebumps on my neck.
The characters are DEEPER now and actually mattered to me. In Gears 1, it seemed like whenever a new character came into the squad, I could care less whether they died in combat. Now, the characters actually show that THEY DO MATTER and that I will miss them if something bad were to happen to one of them.
Kinda wanted a little bit more info on the Locust though. Felt like we got gypped on that one.
Yes, I am glad that Gears 3 is in production, but just a little snip-it of info on where/how the Locust came to be would have been great.
Favorite line from the game:
"Well I wouldn't see snipers too well now would I?"
Play Gears 1 and you'll understand why.
EPIC did such an amazing job on the story with how they would set you up for one thing, and then slap you in the face just to throw something totally different and screwed up right in your lap.
GREAT JOB "EPIC GAMES"!!!

Now for some negative remarks...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE ARE IN A DESPERATE NEED FOR A TITLE UPDATE!!!
HERE IS WHY:
*When a host quits, why not assign a new one so the match doesn't end?
*FIX THE BOOM SHIELD GLITCH!!!!!!!! (Using random weps in place of pistol)
*Why does the "What's Up?" invite friends that are OFFLINE? (they're starting to get extremely annoyed)
*What's up with the wretches crawling on invisible ceilings?
*Crab-Walking is back, WTF?
*How is a meat-shield less vulnerable to chainsaws than a metal boomshield?
*Guys are able to shoot grenades out of shotguns (super gay glitch)
*Smoke grenade gets you through the lasers on Security. WTF?
*Why not let us invite friends twice through "what's up?"?
*The guy with less lag always wins the chainsaw duels
*CHAINSAWS ARE UNSTOPPABLE NOW!
*The shotgun sounds unrealistic and really dumb.
By changing just 2 of these problems would be enough.
