This. Shotgun battles ftw!!! Damn i hate the lancer in 2 and 3...

2 for its epic campaign. 3 for its MP.

Judgement!

Lol, just kidding. I'd say 3, they pretty much nailed it, besides a couple things like host advantge (though not as bad as in 2) and certain spawn locations (spawning right in front or behind enemy). But the mechanics were pretty solid, good campaign, not really any cheap game functions that could be exploited like two-pieceing, lots of depth with multiplayer, good levels for the most part. Online lag seemed much improved from 1 and 2 also. Horde and Beast were good fun additions as well.

3 has the most features, 2 was the first to include horde mode, Judgment for it's fun campaign, and 1 started it all

3, 2, J, 1

gears 2 kept me going through it over and over. i have to say gears 2. i never liked multiplayer on any of the gears games and judgement doesnt spark my interests.

judgment has the worst multiplayer compared to the others in my opinion, i do like overrun tho

The first game, for me. Probably the best third-person shooter ever made.

Gears of war 3 is undoubtedly the best overall, Gears of war judgement despite being so short of maps is for me more enjoyable in places. The addition of the new weapons, declassified missions, modes and classes added alot to the experience. Just for trying something new i give my vote to Judement.

Pretty much this! Gears of war had the longest campaign and it had more variety. Damn some the chapters are so atmospheric. I didn't like these underground levels in 1 and 2.

Tough choice between 1 and 3. I'd go with 3 because it had the best overall package in terms of content (even with the season pass that was very meh). 2 could have been my favorite if they didn't botch the first few months of online MP (servers were terrible).
