I maybe play it for the campaign sometimes but I usually play LOTR BFME2, Halo2, or COD2 (so many 2's :P) online.

Gears is a game that all my friends and I get together to play and have a good time. So yea, we play alot. But then again, all of us have Halo 3 reserved so once that comes out... bye bye Gears xD

most of the people who r in my friends list I have from GOW multi. I am surprised that everytime when I turn on my 360 that there are people ALWAYS playing GOW. I check to see what my friends r playing everytime I turn it on. They def getting there money worth :P

i actually bought halo 2 so i can stop playing gears, the skill level on gears went way down now that everyone uses active reloads, then again my rank in halo 2 has gone down because i always get stuck on the team that people quit on!

If people werent supposed to use actives then what would be the point of having the active reload available?

Yea, I agree about that. If you get them down just [explicit] kill them. The only way I can understand active downing with the sniper is if youre not close to them. Then I dont mind it but when the people are maybe 5 feet away and active it gets me so angry.

In the single player, yes. In the multiplayer, no. Everyone uses shotguns most of the time so alot of people dont bother about cover unless there is someone coming right at you.

Its a shooter. You can play however you want to. If you wanna go in guns blazin, then go for it. If you wanna stay back and shoot from a distance, go for it. Im not gonna play linear and do it exactly how the developers wanted me to. They made a great game regardless

yeah put shotgunning out in the open is a far cry then what was intended for in the game. I just wish the shotgun was toned down, not the lancer toned up.

Why tone it down? If youre that close to someone you can bet its gonna blow 1 hell of a hole in them.

yes I think from 3-5 meters away it wounds them and 3 meters or less it kills them, but I dont think that so much fighting is revolved around one gun. I mean is it Gears of War? Or Shotguns of War?

active downing with the sniper should just be removed and then ppl will actually try and get headshots with it. headshots arent hard with the sniper in gears if you no-scope since the scope is always inaccurate. i just need 900 more kills in gears to get seriously and then i'll be done with it forever. btw, i know that the leaderboards are off and that it'll take more than 10,000 kills to get seriously.

Single player is good - I am playing it through for the second time

Online is full of annoying kids, plus I think the game fails a bit online. Its only 4 on 4 - so I guess its meant play like a tactical shooter...but it plays more like a doom game. I personally don't like it much online.
