I guess you missed where fans of the original complained about the wall bounce being hacked in Gears 2, leading Epic to bring it back for Gears 3, yes? No, I watched your video (which didn't prove actually helped my point). You've made up your mind about a game many didn't like. Thus, agree-to-disagree.

 

Bring what back? Everybody with any skill in gears 3 is air bouncing just like gears 2. That system came from 2 not 1. Agree to disagree? You flat out make something up and now you want to agree to disagree. I'm not going to agree to disagree on a fact. Its not a matter of opinion, its a fact... wall bouncing is in gears 2.

It sounds like all your doing is regurgitating what fans on forums say, maybe try playing the game for yourself, because from the way your talking I'm not sure you have.  And you still haven't explained what the advantage of wall bouncing in gears 1 has over air bouncing. If there was one then why does everybody air bounce in 3?

I didn't make anything up, you just convinced yourself of something and can't deal with the contrast. Sliding to cover, and then cancelling, is NOT wall bouncing. The "bouncing" is mainly relative to cover. Perhaps I shouldn't have worded it as "non-existant" in Gears 2, admittedly, but it was much less useful than it was in either the original or Gears 3. 

Now what fans say on fourums, more often than not, is feedback from experience. I highly doubt hundreds-to-thousands of peope just chose to pick on Gears of War 2 for the sake of it. By the consensus, it's the worst in the series. I agree (from the moment it released, I was one of the first to express my disappointment with it here - long before you were a poster). You disagree. Life goes on.

Maybe you shouldn't have worded it as non existant... right. That kind of hyperbole is just you trying to make gears 2 look worse than it is. Part of the problem with people on the internet (such as yourself) is that your constantly distorting the truth and repeating it so loudly and so often that it becomes reality for many. The way people remember gears 1 on the internet is inflated due to nostalgia, but the way people remember gears 2 is also taken to an extreme due to issues with the launch. None of these extremes really represent what either game really was.

The gears 3 shotgun is a perfect example. In reality its the same shotgun from gears 2 (cliff said so himself) but because people convinced themselves that everything about gears 2 is bad the gears 3 shotgun was suddenly 1000 times more consistent. Its not. The only thing that epic did was they gave everyone in gears 3 the Aim assist that only host had in gears 2. So now all the noobs that were terrible off host could feel like they were badasses when their missed shots register and they get a kill. You want to see a gears player with skill, its the guy beasting with the gnasher off host in gears 2. Ofcourse the people who were constantly getting crushed in gears 2 would love gears 3, it makes perfect sense.
