There is just a really big obvious problem with Gears of War right now. The Sawed Off Shotgun. The problem is that most players have just decided that most other weapons are useless (because they basically ****ing are! The lancer is still underpowered, the retro and hammer are worthless because of the dodgeroll and the gnasher falls to the mighty feet of the sawed off shotgun) so all they do is exploit the kind of absurd dodgeroll (making it impossible to target opponents on the move, meaning they can close range u with ease) or corner camp. They need nerf the dodgeroll (put it on a CD or something, like they can only dodgeroll every 10 seconds or something), and put in a preventative measure like "If you stay in the same cover for more than 5-10 seconds, you are revealed to the enemy."

But we all know they would never do this, because god forbid you couldn't use cheap tactics to get kills.

Take the Retro Lancer. Convince them to charge in with their shotgun. Shoot them and keep tapping down slightly while the Retro Lancer does its work. If they're behind cover, just move back, the Sawn Off requires absolute close range to be any effective.

While granted I do agree that there's virtually nothing to do if they're coming up behind you, but this applies to any weapon really.

i was just wondering if gears 3 would have been better if you were alone without help like resistance 3

The sense of "Without help/helplessness" is present, even in co-op. By this point in the third game, both the Locust and Humans are on their last stand as the Lambent spread. And everything, in my opinion, is always funner with a friend. Gears provides you three for the campaign, and four for Horde/Beast mode.
