Lately I'v been having second thoughts on whether to get Gears Of War 2 or not. I Pre-Ordered it and now I'm having second thoughts. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Im buying it, but Im not sure if Im getting it at release because I simply dont know if Ill have the money. I had it pre-ordered, but I really wanted Dead Space and I didnt feel like waiting for Christmas so I picked it up and cancelled my Gears2 Preorder.

Well, we havent heard any reviewers say anything negative about the multiplayer portions. So im betting that at least the MP will be a blast.

I did read some reviews pointing out that SP fell short and didnt fully conceptualize the gears 2 jump. But even then its saving grace is that its still gears.

Im still psyched about the game. At worst it'll be surpass Halo 3. Kind of a questionable but still familiar campaign, but makes a bigger jump in multiplayer than halo 3.

There are specific hands-on reviews of single player or multiplayer.

One of the single player reviewers actually said that he didnt like the new additional tank top battles and flyer battles because he loved the original gears gameplay that much and thought new content took away from that.

Doesnt say much about the game's negatives except that new content isnt traditional gears content.

About Horde, will you be able to join up with people in a lobby and play or is it going to be like Halo3 where it has to be a friend of yours?

I was ahving 2nd thoughts for awhile, just because i hated the versus mode on Gears 1, but on the other hand i LOVED the coop singleplayer missions.

So ill keep my preorder just for the coop with friends. And hopefully the online is better.

CoD 5 is just bad .. from the beta anyway.. but gears 2 is gonna be the "best" online shooter for the 360 besides CoD 4 so no real second thoughts for me.

my thoughts exactly. i'm waiting for my friend to get GeoW 2. I'll play it at his house. If it's similar (or worse) than the first, i'll just rent it. If it feels fresh, then i'll go buy it.

WHAT,ok i know piracy is off limits but my friend has had it for the last week and it is amazing

I'd like to point out I didn't pirate the game. I have a copy sent from Ubisoft. All SM's at Gamestop got a copy a week early and that is the copy im playing. I do not like stealing from developers who work hard to make a great game. And I know the guys who worked on FC2 worked hard. It's just missing fun gameplay elements. To put it short, its a really boring game with a really crappy story.

Haha no you don't. LBP has been taunting me all week long and now I have to ship it out tomorrow! BAH damn Sony! I could be playing Fable 2 and Little Big Planet. But I guess Fable 2 will do.

No.I did pre-order the CE but then I thought back to how stupid some of the multiplayer elemets were.So I said forget it.I will wait until the game is about 30 bucks.Don't get me wrong I had fun playing the multiplayer but I will not be forced into the hype like I was with the first one.

Idk why you think the CoD WaW beta is bad. I think it's great! I doubt I will get Gears 2 though.

Same with me, I still play Gears 1 multiplayer like crazy, it's just so fun poppin peoples head off with the sniper or obliterating them with the shotgun.

didnt even consider buying it in the 1st place. Dont get me wrong, i own GOW and i love it, but i just got this feeling GOW was classic, and GOW2 is just gonna be good, cus of slight improvements.

Im not getting a game based on slight improvements.

you mean what happened to halo? dont get me wrong halo 2's MP was revolutionary but the SP was sub-par. i can pretty much guarantee u there will be gears > gears 2 threads a few days after release ;)

dude, there might be a parallel for the single player campaign. But gears 2 multiplayer looks way too polished and it has like 5 new game modes. Its not going to be like Halo 3 vs Halo 2 just because Horde, Meatflag, and Guardian offers completely new gameplay. The MP addresses so many technical issues with Gears 1 MP that broke the game:immense host advantage, shotgun being overpowered, etc. Its also going to be hard for people to complain about bad maps as in Halo 3, cause they incoporated the best gears 1 maps with all the new gears 2 maps.

I really dont see anyone making the Gears MP > Gears 2 MP. Gears 1 MP was kind of broken and one sided. Gears 2 adds alot.

honestly, those of you having second thoughts about getting Gears2 are insane. Every early preview so far is amazing. It's like they can't get enough of the game. Gears 1 kept me involved until today, with all of the new stuff to do in Gears 2 i am not sure I will be ready to give it up when Gears 3 hits shelves :)
