The most fun i ever had playing online multiplayer was in halo 2 "snipers" 4vs4 ,some people have no idea how intense small size battles can be

Sounds pretty bad-ass. Small matches are definitely more intense. The outcome of the game rests more on your shoulders than in a big match. You know that a kill and death mean more and are not just one in 60. I don't care too much for massive FPS games like Battlefield and stuff. You never see 60 people at one time, you see maybe ten at a time(if you are in their ship's reactor).

I read about a rumour of a chainsaws only mode

eheh, they're no server problems.

This comes back to the whole "PS3 fanboys just don't get it" problem... Its not the fancy water graphics, or the 60fps, or the 1080p resolution, or 30vs30 deathmatches.

It's about gameplay, fun and curbstopping your friends into the ground.

If my buddy is on a team of 30, then I can go whole matches without ever even seing him.  But make the teams small and then it becomes personal. You know who you're playing against. You know the player who chainsawed you in half last round was also the one who frag taged you the round before and now you're thirsting for revenge!! And finally you knock him down and you know his frantically tapping B to slow the bleeding, yelling in his mic for his teamates to pick him up, but you just can't stop grinning as you approach him with the chainsaw and slice him in half!! Muaahah... I can't wait...

My sentiments exactly gebx.

Wow for all of you retards, gears is hosted. It's not servers.

Also Gears is a tactical game, not an all out open war.

Play the game before you give critiscism

meatflag sounds pretty cool.
