Has for me, going back to Halo 3 feel so plain and boring, part of what makes gears insanly fun and intense is the pop shots, gore, cover and the abilitie to use more than just melees to finsih off your enemies.

Halo 3 is nothing but melee shoot, grenade kill, melee  shoot grenade and kill. It feels as if the game doesn't require skill and autoaim doesn't help. 

IMO, bungie needs evolve the gameplay because its aged...add more gameplay options and further the experience. I think halo 3 should of had some destrucatability and more gameplay additions. Bungie have great talent for story, i will give them that...but hopefully Halo 3 ODST...will show some improvements, can't wait.

Horde mode is incredible. It's all I play. I wish that they would make it go up higher levels though. With stronger and different types of monsters.

Why do you retroactively bash the game?

Geow2 is a great game but right now i still find Halo3's online to be better.... the only online mode i enjoy in Geow2 is Horde Mode, but that might change... (atm though my online time is being consumed by R2 :) ...)

Gears doesn't translate well into competetive multiplayer imo. Horde mode is superb though.

Not really. Gears is ok online, but it feels a bit limited.

Halo 3 is a bit more action packed and fun overall in my opinion

I definetaly don't agree with you. I think the exact opposite, and the fact that Gears 2 mp is broken makes it even worse (im thinking about host-advantage, glitching, shotgun and boomer glitch etc.)

 

Halo 3 also have alot more customization.

to each there own, i think the whole "Gears flaws" is being overused..it still playable...what about gears 1 then? Gears requires more skill, Halo 3 doesn't. but i respect your opinion.

That's a rather loaded question. To be honest you could take ANY game regardless of its quality and pit it against Halo 3 and that game will outshine it "for some". The only thing that would make your question false would be the answer "Halo 3 outshines Gears 2 for Everybody"...that's a rediculous proposition.

I always thought Gears online was better than Halo. I think there is a lot more you can do in Gears.

In terms of Gameplay, Gears is more satisfying. In terms of everything else such as set up, net-code and support. Halo is far ahead of Gears.

Of course. With two hands tied behind my back and playing with my toes. I just want more GeOW2 goodness. Is that too much to ask? For GeOW1 I was always saying they should bring flamethrowers in. Now that they are in I'm on about more creatures types and lengthening the game.

Co op and Horde. But overall Halo 3 is a much more polished multiplayer experience. (as much as I couldn't get into it)

Host Advantage in Gears 2? There is none. epic stated before the game even came out there would be none. Every online game has glitchers. There is nothing wrong with the shotgun. It does as much damage as any of the other gun types as a fraction of what the true damage for the gun type would be. The chainsaw may need a bit of tuning though since I've heard that people just run up and chainsaw you as you are shooting them with a shotgun. The way I'd like to see it fixed is if players could swipe their gun across their front (If they are being chainsawed from the front) and interrupt the chainsaw. IT would need to be done quickly though and you would still recieve damae from the chainsaw but I'm sure that would make everyone happy (except those that run around with nothing but chainsaws revving. If you get chainsawed from behind you're just a goner unless someone interupts the chainsaw event by pistol whipping the person chainsawing.

1. Chainsaw duels. When ever someone is running at me with a chainsaw I just tap b quickly and get the mashin'.

2. You're still dead even if the action gets interrupted, the only difference now is that there is instant consequence for the person performing the attack.

I think people are over excited about Gears 2. Halo 3 offers many more features and much more variety in gameplay than Gears 2. I don't know how people can argue Gears 2 except that it feels more "fresh."

I know. I have played the game quite a lot. My ideas though would put an end to the argument that the chainsaws are too overpowered and the "I shot him point blank with a shotgun 4 times and he still chainsawed me!" arguments. It's just a way to make more people happy with the game.

Or, like me, they just don't like Halo.
