Is Gears 2 still worthy for Game of the Year since MP is trash?

I dont know about game of the year. (expecially in the face of Metal Gear)

I dont know about online, because i play system link with 7 friends.

And that makes it much bettter for me cause ive always liked system link better anyway.

If any of you get a chance to do it that way try it out, no load times between games.

Multi-player isn't trash, but if it was then the game wouldn't be able to win game of the year. Just look at Brothers in Arms: Hells highway, the game had a great ingle-player but awful multi-player and it's not even being considered.

My personal GOTY: Ninja Gaiden 2, because I played it for about 300 hours, and it's the most addictive game I've had in a long time.

The ones I think should be GOTY candidates: GTA IV, MGS4, GoW2, Fallout 3, LBP  (No Ninja Gaiden 2 because of the camera issues and punishing learning curve)

 The one I want to win GoW2 because I enjoyed it the most, and because I'll be playing it for longer than I have GTA IV and MGS4.

The one I think should win: GTA IV, complexity, depth, epicness, and variety and achievements in the online and offline departments, especially when it leaves itself enough room for a badass DLC comming soon.

but ya main thing is that the MP isnt trash, and it is annoying when it takes a long time for games....but really the MP is awesome, so many options of what to play

its not the same as gears 1, but that doesnt make it bad at all....just takes a bit of time to get used to

MP Isn't trash...it's just unbalanced,cheap and takes little skill now.I went back and played the first one last night...wow,I've never appreciated Gears 1 so much.They ruined it,now Gears is a noob's game.AtomicBaconBits

people  who think the MP is trash really need to ellaborate.

In my opinion, it's way better than GoW1 due to the fact it's not a shotgun/bullet lag/host advantage fest anymore.

The teams are more balanced because you don't join any room were there can be a group of gamers who have been playing together for nights and days.

And most importantly, the weapons are better balanced (expect for the torque which is really cheap in GoW2--easy to aim, blows you up if it barely hits you cover, and doesn't kill the shooter if you blow up next to him). The smoke frags, are even more usefull, and my baby glock is not cheap either--GoW1 = 3 quick random shots under a 1 sec and then a melee attack would doing.

 GoW2 has more modes, more varied maps, bots, Ranking and Player matches that actually allow you to still get achievement kills, and Horde is awesome.

Why is GoW2 MP trash?

I think GoW2 is better than MGS4 because it has a better/more refined/more addictive gameplay, and the MP is a blast. MGS4 has a better presentation and story, but I only beat it once, and didn't even feel like playin online.

thoughts?
