Hated the Gears of war franchise as a whole until I played Gears of war 3 beta?

I honestly hated Gears of war 1, 2. But Gears of war 3 beta was phenomenal. Does anyone feel the same way?

I've been a fan since it came out. Although I can agree on the MP level. Never really cared for Gears MP (outside of co op) but the beta was pretty fun. I don't see myself playing it often, but it won't be something to completely avoid like the last two entries.

I actually didn't mind the first, but it was pretty average. Gears 3 beta defiantly had much more replay ablity. Even though it only included a handful of maps and modes. Which is pretty great.

Well I loved Gears 1 MP, absolutely despised Gears 2 MP. But the beta did indeed put some faith back into the franchise for me, even with the sawed off shotgun scrubs.

Stringerboy
Yeah, I hated the sawed-off as well. Though not anymore, since they removed its down ability and put a large light on it so you can distinguish it from the gnasher and don't rush it. So it's your fault if you get gibed.

Oh thank god for that :)

But they still need to find a way to stop people from corner camping and getting an instant kill because they chose the noob weapon. It pisses me off so much that people can just wait for a kill, it's like why even bother playing.

Stringerboy

They redid the maps to help stop corner camping. :D

Most excellent. I've had enough with people spamming armour abilties in Halo Reach to know that reducing the skill gap is a bad idea.

By the way, if you wish to see the new maps. (Which look absolutely excellent by the way) You'll be able to view them in the links below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VoFap3yRwE&NR=1 --- Trenches.

I dislike Gears because of the slow, clunky movement (feels like your controlling an elephant with super glue on it's feet), and the unlikeable, meat-head characters.

However, I admit that the shooting mechanics in the game are really solid (a lot better than Uncharted's), but I just don't like the game as a whole.

The 1st one was good.... 2nd one was horrible MP/SP you name it. The beta for gears 3 was amazing though.

That's exactly the reason I hated the previous games. It felt like you had a rock removed from your shoulders in the beta. Didn't realize how much of a difference the speed increase could make. The only character I dislike it Marcus though, just about as much as I hate Master chief. Both have about as much personality as a toaster. Cole and Baird are epic though, as are all of the other characters I played as during the beta. Even the locust have there own unique personality from what I've seen. And why would you bring Uncharted into this, although it's a great game and I enjoyed two it seems like there taking the Gears 2 route. Which is a bit of a disturbing revelation. Though, it wasn't THAT bad.

To be fair you're controlling some who is wearing armour.

And to me it feels a lot more realistic than traversing the environment like a monkey with an unlimited grip guage.

It's funny. I doubted people so much when they said such a thing attempting to defend Gears of war 2 slow movement. Epic ruined my point, because the moment they lose there armor (specifically in the beta and in Gears 3) they move much, much faster.

Yeah, the SP in Gears 1 was a lot superior as well. Though three looks promising.

That's awesome. I like the mesh mods on trenches and thrash ball. This way when the game comes out, it won't feel like playing the beta still.

The first one was good. The second one got boring and had a terrible boss fight! I will eventually get the third. Will this end the gears story line that has been going on since gears 1?

Liked Gears 1 and 2 campaigns and hated their competitive multiplayer. Surprisingly, loved the beta.

I'm suprised people are saying they didn't like Gears 2's SP. What about the level with THAT worm?

Worth the price of admission alone, or at least I thought. Never really played the MP but finally got to wave 50 in Horde last night as a matter of fact.

Anyway Gears 3 will take the best bits from the previous games and roll them into one neat and tidy package.

There's a whole lotta bang for your buck with Gears 3.

Disliked the first 2. The beta was okay but after about an hour I found out why I didn't like it again.

Loved all the Gears andcan't wait to finish the trilogy and me thinks Gears 3 will be the best of the bunch, perhaps even good enough for a AAAAE !? :P

I had the same reaction. I loathed Gears multiplayer. I played the Gears 3 beta and I was hooked.

Liked Gears 1 MP, hated Gears 2, loved the beta. But we'll see what happens during the real release.
