Uncharted 2 Vs. Gears of war 2.

Which game has the better cover system?!?

gears

Both frustrated me a bit, Gears frustrated me less though.

Gears 2 had a better cover system but Uncharted 2 is a way better game

I think that Gears has the better cover system. I think that they're both fairly comparable games though in almost every aspect. They're both among the best of this gen.

I hate it when people say Uncharted copied Gears, they have no idea what they are talking about. The cover system was in from the start, early screenshots show it being used. Its not as if they decided to just throw away what they were doing and redo the game to fit a cover mechanic. Doesn't change the fact that Uncharted 2 is the better game ;).

Besides, Gears took the idea from kill.switch and the aiming from RE4, they even admitted it. I'll admit both aren't perfect though, Gears was too stiff feeling and just clunked you to cover while you were running evne when you didn't want to sometimes, but with Uncharted you had to deal with getting stuck to the wrong piece of cover or maybe failing to stick.

Immitation is the sincerest for of flattery don't you know? Seriously, every game borrows from every other game. Uncharted series "borrowed" the cover mechanic from Gears because the series have come out in the same generation and Gears implemented it first. Both are great series and both should be flatered when they are compared to the other.

I never said it was bad Gears took it from kill.switch, but Uncharted 2 did as well! Seriously, I have a couple of 2005 PSM mags with screenshots of Drake behind cover and I think one that was him blindfiring (he was shooting his pistol over cover without looking). These screenshots were before Gears, so its only fair to say that both games copied kill.switch, Uncharted didn't copy Gears. The mechanics aren't even similar for gods sake! I mean they are, but they are mapped to different buttons and have different feels (hence this thread).

Gears of War had the better cover system, but overall, Uncharted 2 is a better game in my opinion.

Gears seems to have implemented the cover system better, but that is expected as Gears 2 is a cover based shooter. Uncharted has allot of cover shooting, but is an action game with lots of movement worked into it (like its climbing system). So Gears should have the better system, and does.

Though game wise Uncharted 2 > Gears 2.:)

Gears of War 2 is the best. And U2 just copy the cover system from the Gears 2.............Panosola

Geez can't we say everyone borrowed something from something else. If that was the case almost every game would be a rip off from pitfall because it used jumping...

Pansola is just an annoying fanboy, don't mind him.

I think gears 2 has the better cover system because it was less annoying to work with, lol.

Uncharted 2. Gears of war 2 has too many damn glitches for the cover system. I hate getting stuck on walls.

You do get stuck in Uncharted 2 but its not a glitch. Its what you do. You choose to take cover there or sometimes u roll there. In Gears 2 I take cover but when going up stairs I sometimes get stuck to the wall or stairs because of a glitch.

Uncharted 2 has glitches but mostly in the climbing and rolling, not the cover system.

kill.switch started what is today's cover system with blindfire and everything, but they actually got the idea from Winback (a game MGS2 also took some ideas from with their cover system and laser sighting).

Anyways, I guess we can all just admit that Gears has a smoother cover mechanic, but Uncharted 2 is the better game. I will admit while I had less issues with getting stuck in Gears, the cover wasn't nearly as fun when it comes to dangling on a sign and using that sign as cover.

Also Rainbow Six: Vegas' cover pwns both.

I prefer U2.

Uncharted 2 cover system is alot better, Gears has to many things mapped to one button. InfiniteBlak

gears is implemented FAR better. UC2 is still way to sticky for its own good. I cant count how many times i died because i couldnt get off the wall, and those shielded guys were coming at me :Pnavyguy21

Gears, as you can dive or "Roadie run" into cover. Uncharted has smoother controls in general though and I didn't get stuck on things as much.

On a different topic, throwing grenades in Gears (and UC 1) is crap compared to Among Thieves. First you select the grenade with that awful D-pad, hold down LT, wait for Marcus to swing it and finally throw it. Much quicker and easier in Uncharted 2.

[QUOTE="Mkavanaugh77"]Gears 2 Better online as well Single player goes to Uncharted 2tok1879

gears of war 2 has better cover system

I'd have to give this to Uncharted 2. Not only is there a greater variety of cover, there's more tactics to employ from and around cover.
