Thats what the cover system is for. But i do agree that gears 1 lancer should have stayed.

Im sorry but there is enough cover to avoid a lancer.

Still not sure how its epics fault for people camping they camp because they want to cant blame epic for that.

Yea lol, all stopping fire did was support strategic gameplay. You can't just run out and beast through everyone in 20 seconds in Gears 2 like you can in Gears 1. In Gears, the shotgun dominated everything, sure it may not have been strong as it is now, but it was even more unbalanced than Gears 2 is. In #2 all weapons play an equal part, shit, I think I use my pistol more than I do shotgun, every weapon's got a use.

In Gears, hammerburst & lancer were NOTHING, did absolutely fuckin' nothing, because they're fuckin' peashooters.

No, you probably sucked ass at gears 1.

People used the lancer in MLG more than the shotgun if anything and the lancer could dominate if used properly. The reason everyone used shotgun was because it was the more "pro" and "fun" weapon to use. In gears 2, pre-update Hammerburst>Shotgun/Lancer, notice everyone still used the shotgun.

This game is and will always be based on the shotgun thanks to gears 1 and Epic can't do much to change that unless they want to change the shotgun into a paintball gun

By the way, calling me a dumbass in the earlier posts was stupid because I disagreed with your opinion on something, but I wouldn't expect less from someone that paints there face like a clown and has 420 in there user name as if it makes them more hardcore

Pistol is god all that matters

Is rushing not a strategy? Planting frags and stopping power support camping, even though the game requires you to get close. Also the hb was amazing in gears 1 it was a 2 burst down, ppl just used the shotgun and sniper more because it was fun... And gears1 was way more balanced then 2, especially now lol the shotgun is Jesus.

this, gears 2 is a bad game just because "shit happens"

you can't avoid certain things like tags, if someone wants to run from one nade spawn to another just tagging and letting the other person chase them they can. The person has to chase or take the tie, the shotgun is hard aimed so you can't rush and the sniper is a joke. if I see someone with a sniper I will charge them knowing they can't do anything about it other than pray they get lucky and hit my head.

Ill agree with you for 1nce the shotty is jesus now. But you can rape a camper with teamwork if your good and planting frags (if you die to this im sorry your bad) you can roll by them run jump back etc jus be smart.


You can still rush btw jus gotta know what your doing.

grenades are so stupidly inconsistent. the only way to roll past them most the time is to have host or a good connect, otherwise by the time you hear the beep and push A you'll be dead because of lag. there an easy way to get kills and there worse than claymores. Not to mention i don't wanna play fucking minesweeper when someones running away from me, or im trying to make a push. All it does is add more delays and makes the game slower, thats why i liked gears 1 the fast paced of it not this shit.

Also grenades blast radius in this game is so big and they don't work when there right under the guy because they can roll, that's just stupid the gears 1 grenades were way better. They were consistent when close but weren't like the grenades from cod 4...



i usually hit the head, i just pray to the gears gods that it registers as a headshot. only thing i like about having host is the jesus headshots you pull off

Thats why i always no matter what throw 2 gernades works like a charms 90% of the time. I also have turtle beaches so i can hear gernades being tagged.
