After reading the subject I was going to be like..No you didn't make a mistake bro good for you to have taken it back I keep waiting for a patch but I doubt it can ever be fixed. But after reading your comments I love the idea. Great Post!!

Agree 100%

For a second I thought Gears 2 had gotten better when I read the OP title but I see Gears still sucks. For those who who love FPS pick up KillZone2. Sweet game.

I dont think I have laughed at anything funnier on this forum. That made me lmao

Do you really believe stats matter in this game, especially when the best strategies for success involve holding down a single button, or tagging random walls, or simply tapping the "B" button and then the "R-Trigger" right after that?  Do you really not think that I am not capable of cheating, glitching or lag-switching to boost my stats up?  Do you truly believe that I am not capable of picking up some grenades and then simply tagging walls right out of the spawn points so that way I can easily boost my stats with a boatload of easy kills before my opponents are even able to jump into the map?  Do you really think that I can't simply stand behind my opponents spawn points and then easily run up to them once they spawn and get at the very least 2 kills before I am taken out?  Do you truly believe that I can't plant smoke grenades on walls and just wait for opponents to run by them and then shoot anybody that is stuck in the 5-15 second get up animation?

Do you truly believe that it takes actual skill to be good at this game?  Really?  This game is broken and unbalanced and bragging about being good at it is the equivalant of bragging about being the person that threw a half-frisbee further than anyone else. 

I can do all of those things listed above, but it's cheap and not fun.  I'll admit that I did abuse the games faults within the first weeks' release and my brother and I use to LOL while doing so, but after that week was over, so was the joke.  After we were done laughing we quickly realized how bad this game was and how stupid and cheap it was to exploit all of the faults within the game.  

So for you to believe that stats mean a single thing in this game simply means that you truly believe that it takes skill to play this game.  And I hate to burst your little party bubble right now, but this game requires no skill whatsoever to be good at it and that's exactly why most Gears 1 fans are so upset with Epic and their choice to cater to the casual player.

killin people, LIKE A BOSS

Dang, that's harsh.......a whole log? I think the more sanitary approach would be to make some friends and play horde mode. Save yourself a stamp and a turd for real. There's nothing wrong with cooperative play once in a while, it's downright fun in fact. Horde mode is probably one of the best things they added to this game, I liked the campaign too, but that's just me.

Alright kid.  And I emphasize the word "kid" because you are obviously not old enough to recognize all of the major faults with the multiplayer portion of this game.  For you to think that this game takes skill to win, means that you haven't played games long enough to recognize what character and weapon balancing is within a multiplayer game. 

Let me guess, you probably think that NBA 2K9 and Madden are balanced games and that it actually takes skill to win in those games?  You do, don't you?

For you to understand what I am talking about you actually have to play some games that are balanced like Street Fighter, Chess, or even Gears of War 1 (minus the host advantage).  So school yourself kid before you come on here preaching skill in a game that doesn't require any.

     I think gears two is a far different game than gears one, but it was intended to be. The creators didnt like the way the majority of the community interpreted their creation and set out to try again in part two. Yes the balance is unusual, but it is there. Its rock paper scissors combat, some of it is luck and some of it is reading your opponents.
    I understand the multiplayer code could use some refining that is true, and there are plenty of cheaters that take advantage of that and some other issues that have yet to be pollished out. But that being said all of your complaints about the weapons are unfounded, you simply need to adjust the way you play, go back to the old, or move on to the new.

Wow U r just stupid, I find it more or just as good as the First, campaign is certainly better in the second, but I will agree that online lags a lot-----but this is no reason to post this it isnt that bad, I mean there are 1000000 million more games that are worse.........Hey 3rd times the charm maybe gears 3's online and campaign will be what everyone wants

Okay, I understand, you like Gears 2 and you believe the weapons and gameplay are balanced, (which they are not, I might add), but think about what you're saying for a second from a business side of things.  

So what you're saying and deeming acceptable is that Epic, as a business, created a masterful game/product (Gears 1), which a vast majority of people agreed was pretty kick***.  Then they go and release a second game/product (Gears 2), that a very large amount of Gears 1 fans were itching to play because they fell in love with that original masterpiece.  But instead of Epic giving the loyal fans more of what we love, they completely change the gameplay around and alienate the very same customers that supplied Epic with enough money in the first place to make a sequel. 

Us Gears 1 fans were expecting a BMW Sports Car, but instead we got a family van.

That my friend is a horrible and idiotic business move and if they follow this train of thought then this franchise and the company as a whole will quickly die.  As a business owner, you never ever, ever create a product that will alienate the base customer because the real money is with the base and not with those that you want to casually please.  From a business side of things, force feeding Epic's loyal Gears fans this piece of shat known as Gears 2 is one of  the biggest mistakes this company could have ever made because there are now millions of former paying customers that will simply hold onto their money or spend it elsewhere when Epic releases their next project.

And the point of this thread is?

He doesnt like the game and he thought he would let everybody know. He did it in a way that I guess was funny to him. I dont get it. you bought te game didnt like it then returned it. There its over. I would hate to see how he breaks up with girlfriends.

haha good point bud

If you say plz because it is shorter than please then i will say no because it is shorter than yes

Icecold, I feel ya, and respect your standpoint on the gameplay differences between Gears 1 and Gears 2, but there is one tiny little thing or two I'd have to disagree with you about in terms of business practices....1.) The casual market is EXACTLY who you want to please as a business owner. Case in point: may I submit the nintendo wii. Nintendo's sitting pretty at the top of the sales chart with a console that focuses almost EXCLUSIVELY on the casual market. Don't get me wrong I completely understand were you're going with your point, but the fact is making the game more accessable to the casual market is very good from a business standpoint. 2)....well point number 2 is really just further elaboration on point number 1--while you are right that some of the "hardcore" fan base might have been turned off, not all of them were turned off, and those fans coupled with the new "casual" fans create a fairly attractive opportunity. (again from a business standpoint) That means that their next project, should said project be Gears of war 3 will probably be in a good position to be successful. While I'm not entirely defending some of epic's design decisions, I can't sit here and say I don't enjoy the heck out of the game, so do a lot of other people who have accepted that it is no longer Gears of war 1. You might enjoy it too if you stop being angry long enough to enjoy the insanity that is horde mode with a good group of friends.

     It is indeed a horrible as well as idiotic business plan, you are correct sir. And as I pointed out it was said many times by the Gears team that they did not like the way the community interpreted the mechanics behind the game and it had a disturbing effect on the outcome of each round. However many people enjoyed the game for what it came to be, it was not what Epic had wanted it to be. That being said, perhaps Epic didnt get into the game to make money, perhaps they got into to game for the game.
     Does it make a good business model no, but that is something Epic will face in the future. You will obviously take a thorough look into the next Epic product before you do or dont buy it, or perhaps you will be turned away from Epic completely. No matter the path you take im sure you will not be alone.
