i have both and even tho i love gears 2, its fun to play online and all but there is just sooooo much BS in the multiplayer like lag and host problems, they pretty much didnt fix much since the first gears besides new maps and few new guns but overall gameplay is exactly the same. now for cod i really dont have any complaints with the online its pretty much the same as cod4 but in ww2, its really depends what kind of shooter you like better because they are two completley different shooters, i my self would choose cod waw but it all depends what kind of game you like more

Hey, okay, so i bought both call of duty 5 and gears of war 2 with the intentions of buying each for different purposes, if your more about running through a campaign, i would suggest gears of war 2, especially if you played and liked the first one, they are basically one in the same with some upgrades here and there. Call of duty 5 also had a good story, but i prefer the online MUCH better seeing how there are 65 levels, and what? 10 prestiges, anyways, i love the assortment and variety of guns in call of duty but you need to be willing to put in the time to unlock them where as gears of war has all 11 or so of its guns available from the start but has a less attractive online modes. Both of these games also provide a defend from the enemy gameplay, where in call of duty your defending from zombie nazis and in gears you have to defend the horde, both getting progressively harder. All in All, i believe call of duty 5 world at war is an all out better game, but then again it all depends on what your looking for in a game

Gears Of War 2, the complete package with superb Single Player, Co-Op, & Multiplayer.

Gears of war 2 by far. If you were to pick up a Call of Duty game, besides Gears of War, I would suggest you to get Call of Duty 4.

They have different on-line experiences.....

GOW2 is like Halo in the sence that you start the matches with a standard weapon then the first 10-15 seconds of each match is sprinting to get a better gun (which I hate immensly.) If you don't get there first or don't know the map you end up dead as your opponent has a far superior weapon (which causes me to lose interest fast.)

COD5 you can choose your starting weapon and get comfy with it...and they are all balanced such that people are able to find what fits for them and still be competitive no matter what they like to use (sniper, shotgun, rifle, etc.)

Both are fun but I play COD5 more - mostly because they are more friends on playing it at any given time.

My thoughts are

Gears 2 - Better single player
Cod WaW - Better multiplayer

Gears is a more polished and complete game but COD's online is even better than 4's.  They are both great games though.  You cant go wrong.

You're a **** I have no respect for you. you're probably a 40 year old man who lives in his moms basement, without a job, begging your mom to buy the latest and greatest games for you. Its rather sad.

I would'nt worry too much about whichever one you purchase in the end, both are sure to be to your liking :) ... At the moment I only have GOW 2 though, and I love it.I was'nt too sure on COD 5 at first ... is the online as good or better than COD 4?

Dude i think you should not get rated M game because you are 12 years of age. People on xbox live are harsh to kids.

Its so funny how the mods will lock some threads and say "use the reccomendation thread" and then just let others, like this, go on and on. Anyways, the game is called Call of Duty: World at War, not Call of Duty 5, and the multiplayer is much better than Gears of War 2.

When cod4 came out i played it for about a year. Since cod5 is similar to it i am expecting the same thing. Whe gears 2 came out, i played it for about a month and probably wont play it again for a while.

Gears of war2 is great, again the only thing that pisses me off is finding matches, other than that it is great online fun, but i disagree with you that COD 5 is better than COD4, COD4> COD5

First it's not CoD 5, cause it's a add on for CoD 4. And I'm gonna say CoD 4 over both of them.

Gears has an excellent singleplayer I haven't quite beat it yet but I just got it 2 days ago and certain times in the game I'm literally blown away! The graphics and enviroments are AAA and the gunfights are as good as ever. At first I got disconnected sometimes playing MP then I configured my router and viloa no more disconnections or lag. I did play the beta of COD5 and to be honest I almost bought it instead because the COD5 had the same nice feel that COD4 had. Never really played Gears1 MP but after some time in it I can assure you its one of those games that just forces you to get better. For example some noob playing as Marcus Chained me like 4 times in a row while I was fighting someone else. So I went midevil and hunted him down the rest of the match chainsaw style. Sweet Revenge lol.

Gears 2 online is nearly un-playable. There are so many rough edges and little problems that need fixing, host advantage, the unnacceptably long wait time for matchmaking. Go with World at War, you will get FAR more time out of it. Plus Nazi Zombies is fun as hell.

Call of Duty World at War hands down. Especially in terms of Multiplayer. I have not played Gears of War 2 but I heard that the multiplayer isn't very good and CoD has great multiplayer.

i only have gears 2 but plan on getting cod waw after i played it at a friend's house. the single player campaign in gears 2 is amazing i havent seen anything like it in a shooter. if you have four friends with gears 2 so you dont have to spend time searching for players the multiplayer is very fun. the weapons are unique and mechanics like the meatshield and game modes like submission and wingman make it so you can play gears 2 in any way you like. however although i believe that gears 2 is an amazing game i am certain that neither will disappoint anyone. the unlockable weapons and perks in waw are a very cool thing to work for, and the gameplay is very solid as well. if you are looking for a game with great multiplayer and an even better campaign definitely go with gears 2 but if you only care about multiplayer you will probably enjoy call of duty world at war more with the unlockable weapons and perks
