Gears 1 is a little better than Gears 2

I was one of the gamers that thought when Gears 1 came out that it was the best looking game I have ever seen and even thought it would be a few years before any game surpasses it in terms of graphics, well I bought gears 2 the day it came out and after playing the mulitplayer and even the single player, i can honestly say the unreal engine is starting to age fast. Compared with games like COD4/COD waw, Fallout 3 and Killzone 2, the unreal engine is really starting to look very unimpressive.

In terms of the overall game I think Gears 1 is a tad bit better for a number of reasons. Shotgun is no longer as powerful but yet the chainsaw is more powerful than the shotgun in Gears 2 which doesnt make sense, i hate and I MEAN HATE those smoke grenades that knock you on the ground only to find yourself getting killed by a chainsaw when you get up.  Lets see, oh and I hate how it takes forever to down someone with a lancer and when you do finally down them you have to reload just to get your kill but to late because one of your teammates already stole the kill.  Im also not sure about the 5 Vs 5, i thought i would like that but now it just seems like kills get stolen a lot more and when you die in warzone it takes longer for the match to finish.

Im also not sure if im feelin the matchmaking system, i missed just being able to play player matches and choose exactly what map and what game type you wanted to play. Now I will say this, one thing I do like about Gears 2 is the sound of the weapons, the sound of the lancer has been improved big time and I like that a lot.. Overall as a big Gears fan I like Gears 2 a lot but just seems something is missing and so far has a lot of things that need to be worked out.  

That is like saying MGS1 was better than MGS4.

No Gears of War 2 is far better. Gameplay, mulitplayer, horde mode, and far better story.

your joking right.. Im comparing a sequel to a game that was debuted 2 years ago on the same console and you are saying its the same thing like comparing MGS1 to MGS4  lmao.. your joking right?

I actually like MGS 1 more then MGS 4 only because its story, characters, and cutscenes are all epic.  Its not all about graphics and new gameplay.

Gears of War 2 looks way better then COD 4 and Fallout 3 isn't even in the same league.  How is the Unreal Engine 3 aging fast?  COD 4 has no physics, no destruction, the environments are all glued in place.nVidiaGaMer

The grahpics in Gears look plain sloppy, it looks like a budget game meaning how you know some budget indy moves kind of look like crap, thats how the unreal engine looks now. Far Cry 2 and COD4 looks a lot better in terms of frame rate and especially lighting, grant it Gears 2 may have destructible enviroments but so did stranglehold.. whats your point?

mgs1 was, in a way, better than mgs4. :?

and i doubt sequels are NOT better than the 1st, even in a disappointing way.

but no, geow1 isnt a little better than the geow2.

yes there are some server issues and lag issues, but a patch will probably fix it.

ps.

why mention KILLZONE 2?

MGS1 is the better game hands down, absolutely agree there.

I should be saying the same thing to you your comparing games with no physics, textures, or cover based tactics. To a game that does if anything MGS1 on the nintendo is about as advanced as CoD4 i mean look no cover, textures suck, and all you do is shoot. Obviously CoD4 looks good but same concept. 

To be honest your angry at gears 2 because you lost every match you played because you don't have your precious shotgun blowing up everyone , even though skilled people still use it and actually do well with it. Also since your camping and a good player thinks it would be funny to scare the crap out of you to chainsaw you in half? Don't get me started on smoke grenades they add even more strategy and you have to be a retard to not get out of their blast radius unless your getting shot at.

Oh yea you know me so well, what are you spying on me actually im good at Gears 2 like i was Gears 1 im just stating what i dislike about the game.. Oh and about your beloved Smoke grenades, you do know they are coming out with a patch in the coming weeks to do away with smoke grenades knocking you down, its on the forums because tons of other people where complaining about it. Dont be mad becaue im not drinking the Cliffy B kool aid alright, i said Gears 2 is a great game they just need to fix some issues  

You see thats one thing that gets on my nerves about Gears multiplayer, if you use the shotgun to much you are called a noob, if you use the lancer to much you are called a noob, if you use the chainsaw to much you are called a noob.. so they weaken the shotgun and make the chainsaw stronger?! come on, oh and whats with the shotgun not able to stop the chainsaw anymore? you can just run up to anyone and chainsaw them even if they shoot you with the shotgun. oh and IM NOT IN THE MINORITY i happen to know a lot of people that feel the same way along with a lot of people that i play matches with online that complain.
CODjon84

You must be one of those guys that is a shotgun whore.  I'm glad they turned down the strength of the shotgun.  The multiplayer never played the way Gears was supposed to be played.  Now it does.  And sayin you know people that are like you still makes you the minority.  You don't know the millions of people that play Gears every day and I've heard nothing but praise of the game.

Gears 2 is borderline perfect more people are using the lancer because the shotgun was nerfed for the better (in my opinion) i love new gears 2 online no more mindlesy shotgunning.DivinitySkate

Gears 2 is a lot better.

Dude anytime someone uses the shotgun a lot they are considered a noob, thats what gets on my nerves about this game.. its not the gamer's fault the shotgun is overpowered and taking advantage by getting a lot of kills. I suggest you stop drinking the Cliffy B kool aid and stop being blinded ok man

Unlike you I am not blinded.  I'm not the one saying COD4 looks better than Gears 2 when COD4 didn't look better than Gears 1.  And yes it is noobish.  People didn't use cover in Gears 1.  All they did was run around chasing each other with the shotgun.  The online was s**t.  Also the host advantage is gone.  Are you one of the people that host alot of games to get the advantage on others in Gears 1?  Go back to playing COD.  

COD4 really doesn't look very good. It runs in 600p with 2x AA with fairly moderate resolution textures.

In short, the IQ sucks and the texture quality is meh. It has decent post-processing effects. That's about all I'm willing to say about it.

Im also not sure about the 5 Vs 5, i thought i would like that but now it just seems like kills get stolen a lot more and when you die in warzone it takes longer for the match to finish.

I disagree with you 100 %!. Gears 2 looks better and plays better and thank God they fixed the shotgun glitch!

COD4 looks better than Gears 2? Wha?

Gears 1 better than 2? eh?

You're one of those people who loved to shotgun rush, arent ya?

I haven't played enough of the multiplayer to really comment, but I will say that the campaign in Gears 2 is vastly superior to the campaign in the original.

I don't think I could disagree with you more on every point you brought up.

As for the Unreal Engine, Gears 2 looks stunning in later levels.

Especially the size and scope of the last level.  The game is probably a strong contender for Best Graphics of the year (it may not win but it will be nominated for sure).

The chainsaw is perfect. People hwo usually get chainsawed are mindless shot gunners, or campers. I never get repeadtley chainsawed because when i'm using a lancer i can just shoot the crap out of them? With the shotgun it's inaccurate and 1 mistake will be your last.DivinitySkate

Omni-Wrath

whats wrong with that?

thats completely debatable, alot of people think the first one is the best. 

Gears 2 easily better. But your right about the chainsaw, its nothing but chainsaw fest online...lol, still cool. As for the shotgun, heres a tip, melee a person before shooting them with it. garanteed kill. ;)

The only thing I like better in G1 over G2 is the very very very last battle

Gears of War 2 imo obliterates Gears of War 1 in terms of campaign, scale, scope, story(still nothing special), graphics, pacing. coop

Then there is the bonus of Horde

And the MP is less glitchy now, the only real complaint i have is that the shotgun is way to weak, and that smoke gernades are almost too strong.

mind me asking where your from, VACA?

i agree about COD4, i never thought that game looked special...the horrible physics, flat envrioments and textures...bleh. Farcry 2 is dam impressive, considering the scale of the levels, everythings basically interactive in some ways.
