To me, it seems like whenever xbox fangirls get a decent exclusive (halo, gears, fear but they lost that) They have to hoot and holler over what they have...

It is overrated. The single player is very short and doesn't have a story to it. The online has 2 different game modes. The online doesn't work properly and is very broken since Epic decided not to have dedicated servers. The graphics are good but the fps drops.. A LOT. I liked it at first but after a while realized all of these flaws. It sure has potential for the second one to be good though.
I'll agree with you there, the single player is lacking; but that's not what most people spend time playing. Four different game modes, I don't care how you say it; it's four, get the *bleep* over it. The online isn't broken; having servers leads to bigger problems than host lag, it's a smart move. No it doesn't, if that's the case, either your game or 360 is screwed up, because it works damn near perfectly. Thus, your entire post was bullshit.

halomessenger322, you really need to shut the hell up now. You revolve entirely around "Halo is better than Gears" when in fact that is your opinion, the same way Gears being better than Halo 2 is mine. Think before you post dumbass, I'm tired of your blind flaming.

I've always thought the game would be good for CTF. Not all of the maps would work for it but IMO many could.
On a lighter note, I don't really think so. If it was neutral flag, it'd basically be the same situation as the Boomshot on Gridlock; a *bleep*ing Lancer battle, and that's the best way to pull it off. My work here is done

When the game sells millions of copies, earns the praise of every gaming authority in the business, and has the largest console gaming community online, I think it deserves to be flaunted a little bit.

You say that as if PS3 and Wii owners don't do the same thing.

And that fangirls thing, you're not as clever as you like to think you are.

I've hardly even participated in this thread lol!
I've been trying real hard not to so that I wouldn't get this halo fanboy bullshit. But I guess even if I open my mouth about one little thing I'll get it. I didn't even talk about Halo 2 being better than Gears'. All I said was that there were really only two gametypes. I suppose Assassination is a third but...not really. You're an asshole hammerburst.

I wear that badge with pride.

Your clear implication was that "Halo has more gametypes than Gears." You've been branded as an anti-GoW Halo fanboy; so live with it.

I wasn't implying that, or at least I wasn't trying too. I was just implying that it has very few gametypes.

But since you brought it up, Halo does have more gametypes. Assault, CTF, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Territories, Juggernaut, King of the Hill, and Oddball.

re: GEARS overrated????

Yes, it does; and I'll admit I thirst for some oddball and CTF here and there; I still think that Halo 2 is more fun, but 2 years straight got boring. And before you call me a GoW fanboy, my sig says otherwise (thanks Ecto5).

re: GEARS overrated????

I wouldn't call anyone a fanboy based on their name or sig. I'd only call someone a fanboy if they showed uber fanboyism in most of the posts. You should do the same.

re: GEARS overrated????

Right, you show uber fanboyism in nearly every "Is GoW Good?" thread; which is why you were branded when you started flaming the game in the GoW forum.

re: GEARS overrated????

Just because I don't like Gears' doesn't mean I don't like other games (Vegas, Chromehounds, CoD 2). If I was a fanboy, I would think that every game that didn't have the Halo name on it was ghey and lame and sucked. I just don't like Gears of War.

re: GEARS overrated????

I would appreciate (like everyone else) more gametypes, and the option to change the gametypes to your fancy (Halo). Overall though, I still enjoy the basic gameplay of Gears. The cover system is fun, and blowing someones head off with a sniper rifle has never been so much fun. Gore-tastic, and I love every bit of that.

Why do the people of Neo even listen to me? Who care's if I'm offensive? For all you know, I'm just some preteen brat who makes himself feel more adequate, despite his failures, by posting offensive things on the internet. Jesus, get over it.

re: GEARS overrated????

Guys I am going to close this thread as it is very game specific and there was an identical thread happening in the GOW forum which turned to crap. So let's just all accept that not everyone will like a certain game, even if it is hugely popular with the masses.



What would Dog say in this situation?

"God damn it! I'm so sick and tired of these Gears threads. I've too many iceheads to catch to worry about this crap"
