i finally played this game, 1v1. i thinkvixen summed it up perfectly, its too hard to kill people long range when they can just regen. and it does come down to charging with the shotgun. i do think my experience would have been better if it was more than just 1v1.

i only got the sniper once when we played, and i got a headshot the first shot i took so it seems to me the game is all about the snipe long range. i havent played it long enough to know anything for sure though.

boomshots (aka grenade launchers) kill people in one landed hit, 4v4s are the best online scenario, but even in some 4v4s- there are hide and seek wannabe rambo player teams which get boring superquick, torque bow arrows kill in one landed hit, the lance gun is kind of a mid-range super spam weapon which isnt as effective as the one hit weapons mentioned before, and the sniper only 1 hit ko's people by headshots-
i think the game is way better than halo2 but im not a serious halo2 player. i saw the gears of war ads on tv, liked the music, but thought nothing more of it... but when i went to my friends house, i realized how nice the game really was the first hour playing it- online

Played it, but I dislike how most people just use the shotgun and make it boring.

Chainsaw is so cool.

I also hated the running so much that I stopped playing the game.

The running/random rolling is what makes it suck. It's a pain in the ass aiming as is, its even more difficult when you have some retard doing it and trying to stick a grenade to you.

Despite the sucky-ness of it, I did enjoy playing splitscreen online with my friends and staying at the spawnpoint for a glorious machine gun filled last stand.

Yes, the grenade sticking is really stupid.

Yeah, the sticking people with grenades and chain sawing people are fairly over powered.

What did the update do?


I still prefer the inconsistant Halo shotgun (or billy club because sometimes that's all it's good for) to the one in Gears..

New multiplayer maps were released for GOW, so it was updated to support them.
They can be downloaded for free from the Marketplace, and a theme can be downloaded for free aswell.

after playing the game longer i have concluded that the weapons blow. it mostly comes down to shotgun duels. and if someone gets a sniper then there is no way to contest it long range.

the rifles needs to do more dmg also. with people rolling around and healing so quickly its basically useless.

yOu guys must not be playing the same game. rifles will down an enemy with about half a clip and the fire rate is so fast taht it is fairly easy to get them even if they are dodging and trying to regen. Besides if you hide to regen it takes around 3-5 seconds which is just long enough for me to either shotgun, pistol, or melee you.

crossbow kicks ass!

sniper rifle could use a little more zoom but its already a one hit killer so I guess it would be too overpowered if it had more zoom.

totally fun game and a very fun campaign IMHO. Especially in insane O.o

It's so easy to take down a shotgun whore. A freakin' pistol can beat a shotgun most of the time if you know how to use it. The only thing about shotguns is that noobs use it because it's easier to use than the other weapons.

Also, in long range, a torque bow can beat anything (even a sniper)

The chainsaw is insanely crappy, I don't know wtf you guys are talking about. It's a 1 hit kill but it stops revving if you get hit and you are basically waiting to be killed after it's done. Same with sticking grenades. Against a decent player, you will end up getting blown up too.

The rifle isn't accurate enough at long range to warrant it's use; it's only redeeming quality is the chainsaw, and because of how easy it is to use it's more or less the humiliating factor that makes me use it.
I love the single player-you really take use of the cover features, AI is great, it's challenging-but multiplayer is just dull to me, especially when you play some of the bigger maps 4v4. Execution(or whatever one where you can revieve yourself) is the only gametype I think is really fun...it's more like standard deathmatch than one round nonsense. (hate waiting for that last guy to die...damn it)
