I picked up the game about a month ago and been playing since. The multiplayer is painfully repetitive in that the object of the game is to shoot the other guy with the shotgun before he shoots you. The controls are just awkward partly because the A button is used to sprint and get in cover, leading to unnecessary moves into cover. I don't know about you but this really gets old. Now, I know fanboys are going to flame me for this and tell me that I just suck, but come on people, I know the graphics are pretty but it's not all that great! Anyone agree?

Well, what I do is play in bursts. Maybe 30 to 45 minute sessions. Anymore and I get tired of the game. But maybe it's because I've been playing since November. That is if I'm playing ranked. Player matches are a whole nother story. I usually can play those non stop, in general the people are much more laid back, and friendly fire and weapons swapped is a big plus. Annex with friendly fire is pure gaming bliss.

i think people hating on GoW is getting old.

but seriously, i respect your opinion, but i disagree. Except it does get old if you play it non-stop. you gotta take breaks like previously said. also playing with friends makes it a lot more fun, that's all i ever do now.

I like the multiplayers aspect of Gears once your in a game but I hate the matchmaking system. It takes so long to get a good game going.

the object is not to "run up and shoot the other guy with a shotgun before he shoots you" unless you play that way. i understand that it is a useful and popular tactic, and sometimes repetive but hows this for a change? YOU HAVE A LOT MORE WEAPONS THAN A SHOTGUN! why not try a sniper or a lancer? also, youve only had it for a month. you probably dont like it cause you get owned like a newb. the game is somewhat tactical if youre playing with people you know.

Told you someone would tell me I was a noob hehe. Lancer is somewhat useless because you have to shoot him so many times before he goes down and by the time you start shoot him, he's sprinting out of the way. Sniper is really tough to get headshots on. Sometimes I could have sworn I shot a guy in the middle of his forehead and he didn't go down. This is just my opinion.

What gets old are all of the sensitive players in ranked matches... do yourself a favor and don't play ranked, at least not with a mic on.

I think people are running out of topics so they just bash the best game out so that they can get an angry response from fans.

RSV owns in MP, there's no denying that. And yes, it's way better than Gears. RSV has more of everything. More maps, more weapons, more match types, more players per game. As far as Gears being the best game out there?? Ha! I guess for some it's all about flash, not substance.

also, youve only had it for a month. you probably dont like it cause you get owned like a newb. hashman420

Ha very funny and sometimes true if you dont play for say two weeks and get on and feel a little rusty its frustrating. try diff game modes and download the new maps work on your achievements and work on honing (sp?) your skills with different weapons theres alot to do besides just running around with a shotgun and whining about getting the sniper rifle when all you do is get an active reload and down somebody and wait for them to bleed out. Im not saying thats you but its what alot of nubs do.

its silly to me how people say gears is better than r6v or vice versay when they games are so different. the only thing that they have in common is that you shoot people. adn honestly.

and all games get old. halo got old, gears got old, rainbow got old. especailly if you play them for hours on end only stopping to eat or use ther bathroom, i had gears on launch day, played if for like a month or two,, then didnt play it much at all for a couple months, but now i find myself playing again every once in a while. i just got rainbow six and at first i couldnt but it down but now i can go a couple days without playing. you just have to understand that all games get old are repeative

the title of "best" is all relevent to the particular person. i personally think halo2 is the best multi-player (and yes i have played gears, graw2, rv6, and battlefield and i amvery goodin all of them) because that just what i feel is the best game but of course there will be people that differ with me

Dude, I had this game since November, and I'm still playing it today. Gears of War never gets boring. But, I guess thats your opinion of the game. It seems strange that while you think it's boring others are still playing it.

i think the reason gears gets old is because most of us have played the game since the release. how many games can you put over 100 hours into without it getting somewhat repetitive? either you appreciate the game for what it is our dont play it. simple as that. also you have to realize when Epic created Gow they wanted the game to be 1/3 single player, 1/3 co-op, and 1/3 multiplayer. i would say they accomplished that and never anticipated the multiplayer to blow up as big as it did. and as far as im concerned there isnt a shooter out there that has the intensity of Gow. with all due respect, RSV is a great multiplayer game but alot of the time i found my whole team getting picked off right after spawning and that got old real qiuck. thats why i think gears is a better multiplayer game. in all the game modes excluding annex, you only get one life. so to be a good player you actually have to be good with that weapon to get kills as opposed to running around camping in RSV getting cheap kills and picking off newbs. either way, both games make to the list of must play shooters and like all games they have their flaws.

Gears got old to me after the first month of owning it. During that month of owning it i had a blast with MP. The thing that gets old are the players attitudes. Calling people noobs/newbs and what not is getting old and repetitive... We are all gamers and us people who have been playing games for a long time need to be more respecful and a lot more mature when it comes to labeling people as this and that. I'm not going to mention any other game because this isn't a topic for that.

So to answer your question IMO.. Gears of War multi-player got old a long time ago.

I agree. I stopped playing Gears online because I couldn't find a game where the other players didn't run around like idiots, using nothing but the shotgun.

when i called him a newb its becauase i dont think after playing the game for a month that anyone could have developed the skills to play and have fun against the people that have had the game much longer. id call you a newb too cause you only played for a month. its not like im downtalking the guy. but i do agree that there are people playing that have very s$$$y attitudes and glitches that could make people sick of the game but if you play with likeminded people you wont have these problems

I like theGoW multiplayer but I just didn't like the bullet delays since most of the hosts were internationals and you can't hook up with a friend to play ranked. I got bored of it after awhile.

Nope in fact I loved it, it's really the only reason I have 360. The only thing I wish wuz that they used dedicated servers so that there wuz no lag b/c sometimes the lags is just terrible and gives people who are normally trash(especially host) a huge advantage over u and they start to 2 talk sh*t.

gears is a rail shooter with 6 weapons! not much you can do differently each match. basicly everyone runs for a differnt weapon and plays "shotguns" in that area!

i do like the multi though even though i seam negative about it. lol

the definition of old changes from player to player.

to me, the game was old a couple weeks after it came out. it was hard to join rooms and when you finally got into a room, whole teams were just achievement hunting... only using pistols, or trying to stick grenades on people...
