It’s all good lol
I just beat the game here are my thoughts on the campaign:
Overall I loved the game definitely the best campaign of any shooter I’ve ever played especially from the time I met the queen till the end the intensity and awesome factor ratcheted up a lot the scourge fight, raven chase, and brumak riding was too badass:rock: You really feel like you’re part of a big all out war and everything is simply bigger and better in the game then gow1, however I would have loved at least one section where my squad was in a huge firefight with dozens of cogs against an equal sized locust army.
I don’t know how anyone couldn’t love the writing in gow2 it’s all a giant mashup of funny and cheesy one liners basically everything said by the main 4 is memorable and gives the squad their distinct personality: Marcus is the leader, dom is the emotionally invested one, tai is spiritual, baird is the pessimistic sarcastic guy, cole is um loud, and carmine is the bitch but the kind of bitch you feel bad for when he dies.
I don’t understand how yall can hate on the ending either the final boss fight if you can even call it that was disappointingly easy but the cinematic was very fitting and adam’s soundbite after the credits was a nice touch. Storyline wise it was pretty good even though there were way too many unanswered questions:
Where the fuck do the locust come from? space? mutated humans? or have they been there the whole time?
why does the queen look human and how can she speak english?
What’s the deal with the sire experiment? did the government try to secretly create the ultimate soldier by combing human n locust?
where the fuck are the industrial locals where they make locust tech?
what were they trying to do exactly with the prisoners?
what did marcus save his dad from and how did it result in him being sent to prison for treason?
what’s adam’s involvement with the locust? did the queens mention mean he joined their side? if so why? was it maybe an inside job gone wrong?
where the fuck do all the humans go after jacinto went under water?
Why is so worried about jacinto sinking? is the water going to combine with the immulsion and make the locust stronger
Is there a connection between immulsion and locust beyond it just makes them stronger?
Ignoring the hints of a sequel the franchise is too much of a cashcow to not continue well into at least the next iteration of xbox but there will be at least a 4th gears because there are 2 more carmines left:rofl:
Edit: Someone I played with jsut now said the first patch will make the mp similar to gow1 but I didn’t get a chance to ask where he got that from most likely just a self imagined rumor from him or at least I hope so. GOW2 mp is perfect as is except the stun on smoke should be nerfed a tiny bit and chainsaw should be affected by stopping power a lot more and fuck matchmaking wait times.
I never looked it up but, I’m pretty sure that planet we fight on isn’t earth. It’s their planet and technically we are the bad guys. We were harvesting imulsion and they fought back or something like that. I remember it from the instruction manual in Gears 1 as well as the story.
Could be wrong though but I’ll check to make sure.
Only got this until like Wednesday, but if anyone wants to play Horde, hit me up please with a FR.
Matchmaking, why must you be so awful.
I’m fucking shit up in wingman steaightup beast city, still it would be nice to be play with a fellow srk’er.
Last night I was matched up with a 7 years old girl and we still won by a large margin she even got 2 kills (one chainsaw and one lancer:rofl:)
<3 wingman.
Hit me up, I am trying to get co-op out the way so I can get more in MP. I should have it done this week sometime. I still need Horde mode though, shit is tooooooo goood.
When I’m on that’s usually what I play the most although, I’m leaning more towards territories because of the respawns. I feel your pain on the team mate though on average my team mates get 2 kills if they get 3 I’m impressed. :wow: The only time I win is when I get the 15 myself. 
I feel weird diving into MP if I haven’t beat the game so I did that the first day and then insane the next few days. Horde is pretty good but now that I beat it and got the achievement it kinda lost its pizzaz for me.
I think I’m going to be playing a little less till they release a patch for this game.
Cole: “Ya’ll are gonna say Mommy, please don’t let the bad man hurt me!”
Picked this up on Sat…sickness so far.
The dude @ GS gave me a card for a “gold hammerburst” he said since I preordered…WTF? So its the same weapon, but its gold…
Does that give me pimp points or something online?
wingman seems fun… Got to try it out today when I get a chance with a friend.
Guardian is still my favorite mode because it requires a lot more strategy then the rest and it a lot of fun with the back and forth gameplay but wingman is a close second. Wingman is the most intense because everyone is against you and right from the very start the enemy is like 2 feet away from you no matter where you spawn so while guardian tests strategy the most wingman tests frantic gunplay and alertness the most.
I haven’t played guardian with “people.” That’s where you have to take out the leader and then the whole team, right? I liked it when I played it in training grounds but everyone always votes for something else.
The thing I don’t like about wingman is that the team that spawns closest to the power weapon will more than likely win. I think 5 teams is pushing it and they really should’ve done 4 but, it’s still good.
Guardian is infinite respawn until the team leader dies and that’s what I love about it the team strategy and depth of the game shine in this mode.
5 teams is perfect because with 4 it wouldn’t be as hectic 6 could work but some maps are too small to support that and I don’t think spawning near a power weapon gives any significant advantage except for mortar on pavilion which is retarded no matter the game type. What weapon spawn on what map causes you to think that gives the team nearest it the best chance at winning I’m not seeing it.
Anybody else waiting a ridiculously long time for online matches to load up? It’s seriously making me consider taking the game back to the store and trading it for Fallout 3.
Yes. Everyone suffers from this because matching making is honestly balls.
Horde and wingman take 2 seconds and even the other gametypes don’t take longer then 5 minutes but that’s still way too long a wait and most other people have it worse then me so yeah hopefully the first patch fixes this.
They better patch this shit like a smoker having a nicotine fit and SOON before I get rid of it. And I don’t even trade games. It’s THAT ridiculous.
If you haven’t noticed it then you haven’t played it enough. :lol: I’m mostly leaning towards boomshot and torque bow but nades and sniper also. The team that has either one of those almost gets guaranteed kills. Maybe you’re playing some beginners and I have dominated a lot of beginner folk but once the level starts to even out the advantage goes to the weapons you have. Doesn’t matter how well you work together if the other guy has a boom one of you is going down.
Day One, River, Hail. Just about every map really 'cept probably Security since that map doesn’t have good weapons.
Everyone is always bitching about matchmaking, its not that bad. I was going in by myself, and it took on average about 5 minutes to get in a game. But if you talk and make friends, its easy to party up with people, and then you can find games really quickly. And of course wingman finds games insanely fast if you are partnered up.
Some of the spawns on wingman are OP, but it goes in order, so it isn’t like the same team gets spawned on the boomshot every time.
