Gears about to stop turning?

Like 3 million other people I've been playing the crap out of Gear of War and loving it...until lately. When I first started I was alright but, nowhere close to good but, I got better to a point where I generally rank in the top half of every match or win some even. Now, I find myself getting aggravated with the controls of the game which can possibly be due to on-line play or game design. Either way I find myself multiple times a night having a guy right under the barrel of my shotgun or whatever to pull the trigger and have myself blow up in some inexplicable turn of events. I don't know about anyone else out there but I'm starting to feel extremely limited in how I can control my character. More and more it just seems more detached and sluggish and there's so many times were I want to dive or punch or whatever but failed because I didn't start doing what I wanted to happen a second earlier. For a game so quickly paced and mainly full of one hit kills my character just feels too slow to me. I'm waiting for Halo 3 to hopefully rectify this problem. Anyone else agree? disagree? Can't wait to see the Transformers movie?

P.S. Why are wretrches harder to fight than any other enemy in the game including the corpser?

I am tired of gears of war multiplayer, way to repetitive. Transformers movie looks sick and yes the wretches are the hardest enemy in the game, especially the exploding ones. I was very disappointed in the corpser, it was like fighting a baby.

Unfortunately, my thoughts on Gears as of late:

No, Uwe Boll....house of the dead..need i say more.

And yes i also think the wretches are pretty damn difficult to kill, and the corpser was a sinch

I hope the online hasnt gotten worse since i've played it, the last time i played it was pre update, so im probably gunna suck at it now. I guess i will find out but i hope there is some hope left in gears i really do enjoy the multiplayer aspect of it not much the campaign was too short for me to really enjoy.

The exploding wretches are far the hardest enemy everytime i face a herd of them on insane i cant count on how many times i had to revert to checkpoint because of them. I mean i try to roll out of the way still die, maybe if i didnt get only 150 hp instead of like 300 in casual and harcore...

I never really liked Gears, or any new gen game. don't really like the 360, Wii, or PS3 either. I know I'm in the huge minority, but I don't find these new systems good.Lord_Simus_X

so why did you voice this opinion on the 360 forum again?:question:

Yep the bullet delay in gears had kinda killed it for me too. Im gonna miss itmmogoon

I don't play it that much anymore.  I played it to death and generally ranked in the top 2 every game.  I've only hosted 3 matches.  The 3rd one I recieved a ton of negative feedback because I generally wasted the entire other team with a shotgun with no real effort.  After playing so many online matches I actually suck at the single player because I find myself leading the enemies when I shoot because of online bullet lag.  I do know one thing for sure.  I played a lot of Call of Duty 2 and I don't recall ever really hearing people complain about lag or being cheated by the game.

its good, but gets old after a couple of weeks, got R6 and never looked backVinny6

gears will be big on live until H3 comes out

Gears have stopped turning.

um, if you are talking about gears 1 then i didnt have this problem...maybe it is your controller running out of battery power...or your connection might be bad?...and i would rather see iron man2 than transofmers 3
