Guys, everyone knows that more players online = better game. Cedmin is totally right.

Thats why Resistance was GOTY and Gears was considered a huge flop.

Wait a sec...

I don't believe Resistance would've been considered a huge flops by gaming industry standards, it was a launch game and got what was expected of it.

It was hyped AAA here and a Gears killer. Huge flop.

And? Two extra people. Not an acomplishment. And its old news too.Cedmln

Yea, it should have bin 100 people and vehicles and everything and then named Battlefield: CoGs...

If you really think gears would work well with more than 12 people max (and thats still pushing it) then all I can say is, i'm glad you are not the one developing this game.

Actually I think it is one of those games that shouldn't have a sequel; the core gameplay was all flash over substance way back when the first came out. By now I should imagine that people have had their fix of that laggy online play and strange chainsaw animations.

I mean look at that crap... two people chainsawing each others guns.... It just wouldn't happen, and why does the locust just decide to stop fighting and stand there and take a chainsaw to the head after a dual? Never understood the concept of chainsaws in combat... It just wouldn't work at all.

I think you missed the point completely if you're going to criticise gears for more flash than substance. It's like having a pop at Indiana Jones for not having intricate dialogue. Gears was all about pure, unadulterated fun. It was an action game from start to finish. You had a ball because you're playing as such a badass, with a small squad of fellow-badasses, taking it to the bad guys in the most intense, visceral, flashy manner possible.

Also, the locust doesn't just stop fighting. You clearly over-power him and slash the chainsaw down on him. Hence why the movement is so quick compared to the normal chainsaw attack. And when questioning the realism of chainsaws in battle; you realise you're playing as a man wearing about a tonne of armour, with boots with size of most people's torsos, who can soak up a burst of machine gun in the chest, and just grunt it off? Who carries a gun the size of something you'd get on the back of a hummer.

Come on.

now watch as the cows come... despite the fact that more players would just make it ocmpetely random and unchallenging. hope they get rid of shotguns though...

leejohnson7


No way... the laggiest, chanciest, hostiest, instagib weapon is the one that takes the most SKILLZ.



That and the one shot kill cannon (longshot) take insane skyllz!

Really now, with 5v5 online I'm a bit worried. I'd hope for more, but I'm hoping they balance the core gameplay and weapons before they decide to up the number of players.

I agree!

Why are you telling me this? I never said it would be better or worse or that it is better or worse. Tell it to someone who actually says it does or doesn't and you can properly understand their comments. Don't you pull this crap on me.

Your signature profoundly is pleasant to look at.

There is something about staring at the locust being chopped in half..again...and again...

What does that guy do behind him? Flick the locust's ear?


The better question is why do Dom and Carmine II just stand around with their thumbs up their asses instead of helping Marcus.

On that note, hopefully they've taken chainsaw invulnerability out of the game so that you can kill opposing players while they are dueling.

Well, System Wars is so far removed from reality no one pays attention to it. In reality, I doubt many people expected a launch game to compete with a game that has had that extra polish and experience on the Xbox 360.

Pre-alpha, I'm sure they'll fix it. The same way they'll hopefully fix the entire 'arm falling off' thing when you get stabbed in the back by a chainsaw.

Come on.

The game is based off real life concepts, to a degree. Rambo can accurately fire two heavy machine guns at the same time from a standing position when it is inaccurate from a prone position with only one, but it isn't that hard to believe.

The chainsaw dual looked bad.... It showed two guys doing some leaning into one another, and all of a sudden, one of them just gave up and then the older animation came back in... You know the one, where you wiggle your arms instead of walking or leaning backwards as your natural reflexes would make you do (because for that chainsaw to do mortal damage while you are stood up, you would literally have to lean against it).

Now okay... I see what you mean, but it simply pissed me off online when I was running away, but then I turned around and wiggled my arms and got suckered into some lame instant and predictable kill.

Things that "look" cool at a first glance don't work well in a competitive and repetitive online game mode, it just attracts a rather annoying community of scrubs who make up their own rules about what guns you can and can't use with or without being called a "n00b".

Can you all imagine chainsaw duels in online mode? Time to bring out the turbo controller of the good ol' days. But yea that would be sweet a 2v2 mode only chainsaws kill your opponent than go help your partner. lol double saw can't be 4 or 5 vs 5 too many people and blood.

I dislike the way the term "pre alpha" is thrown around so much after bungie first used it with Halo 3. If this game was pre-alpha, how can it possibly be coming out in six months?

More like the other guy couldn't be arsed. It doesn't look like he is being over powered. It looks like they both have the same chances, and then, one stops himself.

I loved Gears 1 and will love Gears 2. 5 on 5 is ok, for the type of gameplay, if they had 30 on 30 or whatever, it would be WAY to many, even 16 on 16. The matches would go on forever, and I think that this low number is on purpose also, to allow quicker more intense matches... seeing as they didnt have respawn.

Because everyone knows that more players = better game!

and everybody knows that more options = better..

in resistence 2 you can have 5 v 5 on scaled down maps for more strategic play or you can 30 vs 30 on bigger maps for all out action.. playing 4 vs 4 on a scaled down map configuration is common place on Warhawk when playing with a few close friends and then you can easily hop in to a 32 player game aswell which will give a totally different play experience...

only having 5 vs 5 maximium is a limitation.. plain and simple..

You're wrong almost entirely.

a). One didn't just give up. You rapidly tap B to force your chainsaw towards the enemy, and they do the same. If you tap it more so than they do you will overpower them, their chainsaw slips and you bring it down in a fast, slashing motion. Your comments about it going to the older animation are completely incorrect; Cliffy talked in the interview about how it's a new animation which is much faster to counter how long it takes in the duel. He doesn't cut them in half slowly, he just slashed them right down the neck. Watch it before criticising.

And why would you have to lean against it? It's a freakin' huge chainsaw, and it's the future. I'm sure they wouldn't stick it on the end of your gun if it couldn't cut through stuff without too much effort.

[QUOTE="THE_Rob_Himself"][QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]Two extra people online, chainsaw duels and reverse chainsaw animations? GOTY 2008 10/10! Teh innovations!thrones



Gears 1 didnt innovate. it was GOTY 9.6

whats your point?

Gears of War 1 was one of the first games to successfully implement it's stylistic approach to combat to such a high degree. I mean, alot of people hail Doom as the father of FPS but there were other games before that.

uhh doom was the first good FPS, all the other ones didnt innovate and neither did Doom, its just all the others before it weren't executed as well ad Doom

[QUOTE="xxThyLordxx"]while Resistance 2 has 8 player co-op online and 60 players online.Antwan3K

Because everyone knows that more players = better game!

and everybody knows that more options = better..

in resistence 2 you can have 5 v 5 on scaled down maps for more strategic play or you can 30 vs 30 on bigger maps for all out action.. playing 4 vs 4 on a scaled down map configuration is common place on Warhawk when playing with a few close friends and then you can easily hop in to a 32 player game aswell which will give a totally different play experience...

only having 5 vs 5 maximium is a limitation.. plain and simple..

Gears of War is a close-combat, intense, visceral game. Resistance was rubbish unless you had a decent number of players. So is battlefield. Please dont act like the option to have a small number of players made playing with that number enjoyable. How often do you see people on Resistance who want to have a five player game? Never.

Many players just wouldn't work with gears. And the only people who claim it should are usually fanboys who've never played it, looking for a reason to hate on it.

It's not a limitation at all. And you saying that simply yells "I haven't played this game but i'm commenting on it anyway"

And? Two extra people. Not an acomplishment. And its old news too.Cedmln
..Would you rather the game have 18 people or so?That would suck...the game would be waaaaaaaay too hectic.Five should be just right.

I cant believe that a crap game like resistance is being compared to gears of war. the only reason i think is because it is an exclusive game. 5v5 is going to be way fun then 30 v 30

lol...5 on 5...in resistance 2 its 30 on 30....5 on 5= pathetic

Again, more players does not equal more fun. Actually PLAY THE GAME and then tell me it needs more players. It doesn't work that way.

EDIT: you realise your sig also makes absolutely no sense when the 360 disc isn't even full, and the game has helicopters? :|

now watch as the cows come... despite the fact that more players would just make it ocmpetely random and unchallenging. hope they get rid of shotguns though...

ChevelleFan

Nah man! I love going shotty in Gears. It makes me so mad though when a host shotguns you from 500 feet away, ugh, lol. Nothing worse than watching your head get popped off by host shotgun from far away.

What made it even worse were the people who denied that the host advantage existed. Most of the time however, they were the people who always played as host.

lol I know man. Heck, I actually felt bad when I hosted. I felt like I was a cheater. I'd at least use a lancer or a pistol, and not go shotty. I mean, somebody's got to host it, but they can at least not reactive shot gun you from across the map everytime.

The better question is why do Dom and Carmine II just stand around with their thumbs up their asses instead of helping Marcus.

On that note, hopefully they've taken chainsaw invulnerability out of the game so that you can kill opposing players while they are dueling.

thrones

Pre-alpha, I'm sure they'll fix it. The same way they'll hopefully fix the entire 'arm falling off' thing when you get stabbed in the back by a chainsaw.

They have fixed it, atleast you can chainsaw someone from behind while they are in a chainsaw fight. In the trailer you see the locus in a chainsaw fight with someone and the player runs up and chainsaws him in the back.

Completely wrong. In a fast-paced, frantic game like Unreal, definately. In a very slow, close range, visceral game like Gears, definately not. You comments just show that you've never played it.

There's also no more god-mode when chainsawing, so it comes with significantly more risk.

a) no it isn't. :|

b) you realise that saying there are no planes because of the 360 makes absolutely no sense whatsoever when there are helicopters? Make the helicopter faster and replace it with a model of a plane... and you have planes. Why would the 360 possibly prevent that?

Jeez.

So you are saying you died first all the time?

BTW the MP for Resistance SUCKED! What makes anyone think it will be any different? So adding even more people into the jumbled mess makes the game better? Cows are quick to point a lack of innovation in Gears 2 when they boast about Resistance 2. Two totally different games that play completely different. Talk about hypocracy.

Fondness

I prefered Resistance multiplat over Gears multiplayer to be honest, held me over till Halo 3.

What do you think about Halo 3's multiplayer? I find it, somewhat, tedious.

olol it's brilliant and timeless. perfectly balanced, great fast yet not frantic pace, VARIETY, endless possibilities, forge, infection, pwning nubs, etc. i could go on...

They why even say what you did? You think this thread was made for us to praise the mighty thing epic managed to achieve? It's just a piece of news for gears fans and you just came here with YOUR crap. No **** it's not an achievement captain obvious, we really needed you to tell us.

astiop

Because this is system wars. Excuse me for using it for what it was mean't for. Last time I checked. System Wars wasn't made for news on general games. So I will continue to do accordingly.

Making worthless posts?

Alright, if thats how you see it then forget I said anything.

Posting an opinion is always better than using the forum for flamebait.

Exactly. That's paintball. It's a game which requires many players to participate to make it enjoyable. Tell me Chess would be better if it was six players on a board.
