Man I love playing Gears 2 on-line, but damn if it can't drive you to drinking some nights...
Modern Warfare 2 has gotten all my multiplayer love lately, I guess I need to start spreading it around.
@Common man: have you played the Bad Company 2 demo? I got dumped into the middle of a game, and with no clear objectives (figured eventually I was "guarding") and no easy way to distinguish enemies from allies (I think it's color based but I'm slight color-blind), it was a mess for me. I figured I'd give it a couple of days and try it again, but right now, it's a rental first.
