@breadisgood I'm a long time gears player. Ranked fairly high on the leaderboards for both Gears 1 and 2 and I agree with all the stuff about gears 2. I feel like gears 2 appealed to noobs with the grenade wall planting, chainsaw users not getting stunned, no using your shotgun when coming out of a run, etc. I have played the hell out of Gears 2 despite all the issues at launch and all that. I just hope they finally once and for all kill the host advantage in Gears 3.

i get shivers when i think about the fun i had on red alert 1 and 2...spamming G.I.s anyone? lol
