They could have changed them and it took them too long to change them.  

Gears 1's sniper registration wasn't faulty that often.  54% (Or maybe it was 44%.  I'd have to go back and check) of my kills in ranked Gears was headshots so I do know a little bit about the sniper.

Gears 2's sniper was just infuriating.  It fealt like 1 out of every 3 shots wouldn't register.  I may be exaggerating a bit on that but it was pretty bad.

People likes the run and gun gameplay better than Gears 2's tactical gameplay.    People don't seem to care anymore but it was a huge change from 1 to 2.  The lancer was useless in Gears 1 where as it was a beast in Gears 2 and the gnasher was usless for a while.  Gears 3 both of them was good gor very specific situations and allowed both types of players to be happy.  The sniper was also fixed without the 3 second delay of the first game.  You say that it is skin deep but so was gears 3.  They could have easily nerfed the Sawed-Off and Retro which they did.  The sawed-Off is complete garbage now and the Retro's hip fire is gone.  It is still a little OP but it you can deal with it easily. 

Now for wall bouncing.  Gears 1 had a lot of wall bouncing where as gears 2 did not.  They got rid of it and the fans was pissed about it as that is one of the things that seperated the good players from the bad players.  Gears 3 brought wall bouncing back and even though it isn't as good as gears 1 it is still good.  Even though I laugh at people trying to do it because they are just bad players trying to look cool.

I know Gears 2 fixed a lot of it's problems but the launch is what many fans remember it for.  It was like people had been waiting for this amazing game and then played it and was left with a huge mess of problems.

As for the story, Horde, Co-op, etc all of it was amazing.

I wouldn't call Gears 1's Lancer useless, especially if you were good a dippin'-and-dodgin' with it. However, at least you see my point about the wall bounce (it was non-existent in Gears 2).


Now I'm seriously questioning whether or not we are talking about the same game.

Is this the gears 2 with the non existant wall bouncing you speak of?
