Gears 1 was trash.

Any real gears of war fan would know that the first one was the best and it was 4v4, and war zone on gridlock or escalation was the best

Gears of War is not an FPS, it’s third person and any real Gears fan know Gears of War 2 was the best. A Gears fan know that Gears of was has always been a 5v5. A Gears fan also knows there is no way you can compare Gears to CoD. Two totally different games.

The COD thing is getting old, seriously. Just because they made rifles more useful, doesn’t mean gears is just a rifles game now nor does it mean they wanted more money, though every company wants more money regardless. In every single gears game, the gnasher has always been on top in terms of kills throughout the whole community. Honestly, making rifles better in gears 3 was a smart move.

Gears was built around the gnasher, but after a while the game lacked diversity. Gears 3 was solid in vs. The gnasher still rapes, and crutching (4 v 1) is still possible even with the rifle buffs. I like shotguns as much as the next guy, but I also love diversity in games. If a game only sticks to one style and weapon choice, then it becomes stale. Gears 3 is my favorite of all because of the diversity. I can run a rifle, or shotgun without being guaranteed a lost just because I’m using a rifle. Judgment got rid of actives which was another good move (no more preactives and losing just cause you didn’t active)

If you get killed by 4 guys with rifles, don’t blame them or call gears a rifle game. Gears is still a cover shooter and you do have a rifle yourself. Also, if you can kill rifle users with the new buffs to them, that makes you even better. IMHO gears should never go back to the one gun game it was. Diversity keeps a game alive and can bring in more people as well. More people = more money. Businesses and games need money to thrive. Also long as they don’t change it to where it’s obviously a rifle game, I’m not complaining. One thing judgment got right was weapon balancing.

Exasperaties is completely right, the makers in an attempt to entice the cod players to play gears simply because they wanted to make as much money as possible switched the emphasis from a shotgun game to a long range rifle game like cod, and no even the best wallbouncers in the game cant bounce around 4 active lancers as the lancer was made far too powerful. Judgement was shocking which is why so many gears players left and there is noone that plays it…dead game!

Sorry but i think youre wrong about gears 3 being as COD. In my opinion, gears 3 is the most smoothest game in terms of cover based, shooting, wallbouncing (which you can still juke the lancer person, unless they are good in gears or more than one lancering obviously) and multiplayer Gameplay and lobby. Although of course the campaign in gears one is better but in shooting based gears takes it as the best 3rd person shooter. Note:If you are having trouble dodging the bullets from people lancering then practice more or maybe you should take time be calm and know there weaknesses thats what gears must be about. Hope you were talking about Judgement not gears 3.
