As far as the cover system goes, which game utilizes it better. I think Gears does an excellent job with it. The action feels a little more intense, and I think Uncharted's is great as well. I was wondering what you guys thought about it.

Imo Uncharted is more realistic :P but Gears is like a you know the big bad ass dudes. Drake is this mystery solver dude and a kind of 'hero' :P. Tbh it be a bit weird to compare. Btw can you even change the sight with gears 2? I mean i could only aim to the right side of me, I pressed down the right analog which in Uncharted and MGS4 should switch side of aim. But it didnt, Maby theres another way..

Gears 2 is more like cover, shoot, RUN OVER YOU MOTHA FUCKA *Shotgun* XD.

I perfer uncharteds because of the animation it looks amazing when he covers XD gears 2 looks a bit simple on that, just crounch or stand at a side all still. Then again i havent played it more then 3 hours XD.

^ Id say biased opinion but still its mine :P.

I'd say Gears of War's cover system is superior, but Uncharted's overall package is slightly superior to Gears.

Both of their cover systems are excellent, and they are both very similar, but Gears of War's just seems to work better.

Both are pretty much the same. Gears is strictly a cover based shooter, so it's weapons, enemy AI, and such support this. The "Roadie Run", ability to dive from cover to cover, and ability to hurdle from on cover to the next are much tighter. Often, Nathan Drake would dive out of cover and get slaughtered when I was playing. Enemies weren't as smart as Gears's baddies either. But since cover based combat was just part of Uncharted's package (along with exploration and platforming), it's no big deal if it's not the king of every category.

Stupid thread... both are sooo diferent... GOW2 is all about war, great war, great AI enemy, etc... Drakes nothing to do with that, is adventure driven, other style of AI, ambient, etc... OMG...

i think gears is better because u can move from cover to another quickly also Drake cant jump over covers.

This.

Having owned both games, my favourite is uncharted for cover, mainly ebcause wen running on gears of war you can sometimes end up taking cover when you dont want to. Uncharteds system was far smoother

^^^Is taking cover when you don't want to worse than NOT taking cover when you DO want to?

i though you can by pressing X some one correct me if im wrong
