Will Gears 2 multiplayer be only run and shotgun like the first?

I started playing Gears 1 on my Bro's PC last month and the game is great. The MP had so much potential of being epic (team tactics and strategy using the awesome cover system) but all people do is run around with the shotty (I looked at some 360 vids on Youtube and its the same)

Now with Gears 2 having 'stopping power'.. Do you think this will work well enough to cause gamers to actually use their brains or will it be reduced to what is was with Gears1?

Isnt the use of cover what the devs originally wanted it to be? So really, they're making changes to make the game what is was originally supposed to be.Xero319

Yea Cliff has even said before, the game was not supposed to turn into a shotgun fest.

Yeah i just read that the shotgun does less damage.

seriously, Gears 1 was the best game on the Xbox 360 in my opinion, so unless Epic drops the game in an absolutely massive way, the game is going to be awesomely awesome.Essian
