gears 2 needs massive improvements. It was a great game when it came out but the bar has been raised a shit ton. (Gears 1 multiplayer sucked)

R2 - samething but I can safely say that it is a major step in the right directing after seeing gameplay and multiplayer.

Things I'd like to see

GeoW2

Better weapon selection
Better story
Better Multiplayer

R2

Better graphics
Smarter AI

Gears multiplayer is one of the best i've ever played.

You see my gamertag with gears below? I only play multiplayer now, it's different to alot of FPS because alot of skill is needed and alot of good teamwork.

I'm not sure if im more excited for the full game or the multiplayer in gears 2!

 

 

GLITCH GLITCH GLITCH GLITCH GLITCH!!!!!

Whats that? someone just ran full speed at me and I exploded?

Whats that someone is running in a zigzag and I cant hit him?

Whats that someone glitched outta the map and I cant get to him?

And I know there were more... just cant trhink of them right now.

And the controls.... Oh man the controls... And I already voiced my opinons of the maps.

In the recent EGM, they did a full spread on GoW2, and they quoted CliffyB as saying they are fixing pretty much all those gripes (like the ones you listed, and then some) people had with MP in number 2.

I never really liked Resistence...the single player wasn't that bad, but that probably had more to do with the fact it was the only decent game on the PS3 at launch, and probably just seemed like it was better than it actually was when comparing it to the other games available. The multiplayer wasn't anything special, and I personally didn't like it. It was just way to hectic and for the brief period of time I played it, it seems like the only strategy you can have is run and gun till you die, over and over again. Also you can spawn and get killed almost instantly over and over again if you have bad luck. I don't know if it is just me, but Resisitence multiplayer was no fun at all, and the single player was alright, but nothing special, shining a little bit more than it would have if there weren't so many crappy games out at launch.

 

I like Resistance more, having now played Gears on a friend's Xbox, but Gears was the first great game on the 360, too. Gears also was the best looking game at the time, so it was easy to impress people. Resistance wasn't the only game that was a gem among trash.

 

The difference was, in addition to said monster game, the 360 also had quite the little library of 'quite fun' games, like Perfect Dark, Dead Rising, Fight Night, and DoA at the time.

 

OT: I'm looking forward to Gears 2 much more, as I love the squad-based combat, and I hear the story will be more interesting (the first had great potential, but went nowhere with it).
