It has its good things and its bad parts of it

cons:

1.all you do is run to the center of the map and hope you dont die

2.take out the shot gun and try and turn the other team into bacon bits..

3. VERY small maps

4.about 6 weopens to use which is like one hit kills at some points

5. sometimes can get easily pwned by a pistal

6. Short story mode

pros:

1.AWESOME graphics

2.good controls makes it really easy to get the hang of the game

3.good gameplay

4.sometimes the game can get addictive

In my opinion I think ive gotten addictive to the game, its like I have to play it everyday but every new round its like the same thing..you run to the middle and hope you dont get pwned...

its fun and a very good way to kill time ...and anyone who runs into the center of the level in gears of war deserves to get shot. it just might not be your type of game

I really liked Gears multi at first, but I don't play it anymore at all. There are many little nuances about the gameplay that have become incredibly irritating and turns into much less of a tactical shooter than it was originally intended to be. However, playing warzone cures some of these problems.

I don't personally like gears online, but a friend of mine likes it because it's more tactical than other games.

1. Not true, you do that, and you are screwed, period. 2. Once again, not true. If all you know how to use is a shotgun, then you can't call yourself a good player, you have to be able to use the whole weapon selection and know what to use in different situations. (altho shotty is a bit overused online) 3. The maps make for good strategic comabt, especially if you work together as a squad. 4. If you took a shotgun shot to the chest, do you think you would die in one shot? what about a sniper round to the face? or a pistol to the face? Does realism make a game bad? 5. You can get pwned by a pistol in any game, you just gotta know how to use it. You can also easily get pwned by a chainsaw and a rocket launcher :P 6. It may be short, but it is a pretty fun campaign, especially the online Co-op. I do wish it was longer though. I can tell you've played it, but have you played ranked matches? They are a lot different than Public, a lot harder and more difficult. People on them normally play seriously, and it's not just run into the middle.

It's far from the best online game out there but the graphics and need of teamwork make it enjoyable.

I know what you mean, I don't play online much anymore. If there aren't any ranked I don't play a whole lot, just because I don't find it as hard. Sometimes I play with some good players though. If you're in a good match, it is really quite fun, and not repetitive, because the other team and your team constantly change tactics to get the win. The online is good, not the best, but good.

You have two major flaws.

1. The maps are fine. Some are too big.

2. There is no story mode online.

I played last night and can not get enough. I really dont see why everyone says it sooo much better than resistance, i didnt even think the graphics are that much better than resistance, probably about the same. But there is something there that I couldn't get enough of. (chainsaw :) )   I still dont understand why it won so many game of the year awards though.  I got so frustrated with the a button, or whichever one  makes you hide behind stuff and jump over stuff and just about everything.

The single player portion is good but quite short, you probably could play it maybe 2 more times (I am saying only as mininum). But if you like mulriplayer, oh boi, this game is great in that department.

Stopped reading there. You don't win allot of games do you? If that's you're tactic to this game, you must get killed allot.

It's about strategy.

There you go, that's what's good about it. Turning fools to bacon bits :)

You can't really liken it to normal shooter MP. It's meant to be fast, strategic and brutal, but more like a fighting game with fatalities than a Ghost Recon, crawl around on your belly for 2 miles, type game.
