I played both Gears 2 and Resistance 2. Its occasionally boring because its so damn slow paced, and the cover system usually means the person with the most balls will always get killed first.

Resistance just took a lot more skill, and it was definitely a lot more fun to play online. I can't stand games where people move slowly. I learned shooters playing Socom, so if a person isn't zipping across the screen its way too easy.

That's why COD4 gets boring to me as well. Moving that slow just kills it. It makes the game more strategic than about skills.

Whos to say its not a 5 on 5 wife swap party you may not be homophobic, but even thinking of what i said in the way you did must make you at least a metrosexual lol

 Think you messed up a bit in that first sentence there XD.

You're entitled to your opinion, but to bash a game for making the guy who doesn't take cover the easiest target is ridiculous.

Resistance 2...Need I say more?

Resistance 2's online play will end up been like Frontlines: fuel of war....... you'll all be running around like headless chickens shooting at the 1st thing you see........ to say gears requires no skill is just ridiculous, the cover system is there for a reason , so it doesnt end up been like your typical shooter where you just kill kill kill with no thought for strategy

I didn't like Gears of War's multiplayer and I didn't like Resistance's multiplayer. From what I've seen in videos, Resistance 2 looks to try and "solve" many problems of the first, while Gears of War's multiplayer remains essentially the same. So I'm looking forward to Resistance 2's multiplayer more.

Before someone takes this the wrong way, I'm not saying that either game's multiplayer is bad, just that they aren't my cup of tea.

EDIT:  I did enjoy co-op for each, so it'll be interesting to see how Resistance 2's custom co-op campaign fares against Gears of War 2 single-player campaign co-op and horde mode.

That's highly debatable- is it just in your opinion?

btw most people I play with in the beta have mics. The game uses a squad system so I guess you could say there is organized chaos. All those arguments that say the game is too crazy are flat-out false.

For the last time, you haven't played resistance 2. Please stop making uneducated assumptions.

Sorry, guess I didn't word that the way I wanted it.  I'm just saying that the number of players, in and of itself, does not make the game better.

And I was just speaking from experience and the general consensus with regard to voice chat.  When I play on PSN, almost no one ever uses a mic, and almost every time I ask others about it they say the same thing.  Someone who plays in a beta is likely a 'hardcore' enough gamer to have a mic, but the general people that play the game when it comes out just don't.

You may have a point about the organized chaos, though

I've played resistance 1 and i've seen more than enough videos of resistance 2 to allow me to beleive it will be nothing more than more of the same.......... see enamy A , shoot enamy A, get killed by emeny C go looking for retribution on enemy C

Skill? no need , leave your skill bag at home

Its nothing more than frontlines: fuel of war with a few more players and slightly better graphics
