Gears of War 2 multiplayer help

i got gears 2 recently and i'm kinda having trouble keeping up with the competition online. I mostly have trouble moving around like running, turning etc.. i can see people doing it really well and im wondering if there is some sort of trick to controling your turning effectivly and being able to maneuver around well. I could also use some tips on the shotgun, since i see people using it and they seem to be doing really well

You will just have to play it to become better. As far as I know there are no tricks for moving around better, and for the shotgun I was the same way, I couldnt use it at all, but eventually you will become better. I played for awhile and went from really bad to ok, good luck.

Oh yeah and another thing, if you want to get good only play Gears, dont switch back between alot of games because you really have to get used to gears control and movement. I tried playing after call of duty and could barley move.

do the offline multiplayer first get used to it, i personally dont go online i just do the offline bit which ive played for over 200 hours but u can build up your headshot skills and manoeverability throught that.

I went from bad to pretty good. I would play single player and practice flipping the joystick to heads. Also, on multiplayer I would try to watch the better players and mimic them, if you notice you are constantly moving, hitting the A button to get behind walls.

To get better at the shotgun, stop using the chainsaw and machine gun. Just dont use it, then you will get sick at the shotgun.
