Gears 2

Overall, Gears of War 2 deserves the highest score of the series

>Significantly improved controls and mechanics
>Biggest jump in graphics over its predecessor. In fact, the series has basically plateaued since then.
>Much better sound, level design, weapons, enemies, and music
>Introduction of Horde Mode, which the entire industry copied
>Best setting/story of the series. Both of the long underground segments are great, the spoopy science labs are cool, and the palace is awesome
>Didn't waste too much effort on the PvP
>Coolest ending
>Giantest worm

THEY'RE SINKING THE CITY

forgettable as fuck. all i remember is the dumb "muhh wiiife!!"

skorge boss fight was kino

You are right user. Was a great and memorable game.

Gears 3 is better is literally every single way

The best in the series for sure. I do love Judgement's overrun though.

3 is the pinnacle of gears multiplayer though

yep this. GOW2 sucked ass. At that point the cover gimmick was already played out because of gears 1. The campaign was absolutely forgettable except the laughable part with the giant worm. Don't remember multiplayer but it didn't blow me out of the water like the first one did. I don't even know if they fixed the host issues.

I recall playing horde mode for about a week but only ever played one map since the other maps were suicide.

Honestly Gears 1 even fell off with the release of their DLC, i remember nobody bought that shit

>Didn't waste too much effort on the PvP

You're right. Instead they went backwards and used a matchmaking system.

Gears in general fell off compared to other shooters because it was too hard for the casual babies to be good at. I'm not surprised it fell off. It still has some popularity because it is too excellent to be completely obscure but no it isn't on the level of Halo, CoD, BF or even the other BF.

Gears 2's multiplayer sucked ass for months after its release due to balance issues and shitty design decisions on their part. After it got fixed I would say it was objectively better than the first game outside of having worst maps and what this user said Giving us some of the best Gears 1 maps was cool though.

Except Gears 3 did everything 2 did but better as far as multiplayer.

Yep, 3 was the best one for sure.

uh, wasn't that hard. I'd regs throw away games and then run the train on fags reverse 4-0ing, 5-0ing people. It was super fun i'll give it that, but the damn host issues sucked. Weapons were pretty cool too.

I just remembered this but 2 really fucked things up from my perspective when they started slowing down your sprint if you were being shot at.

It doesn't matter. The point is the games were still way too hard for the average shooter fan to get into. Think of most people that buy a CoD or BF. They aren't exactly the cream of the crop of elite players. Gears was intimidating to these people since it took for the third game to have a traditional TDM mode and even then it doesn't function how TDM does in most other games. The only reason BF2 flopped is really due to EA's greed because otherwise it would have been huge with the masses.

>gears 2
>waiting for over 5 minutes for a fucking laggy game that disconnects you halfway through anyway

And literally no one played after judgment

yea you're right to an extent. I still remember some casuals playing GOW in highschool although they weren't really that good, only some people were. Spot on with COD though, every kid in my highschool played that shit while I was searching for anyone who played halo 3.
I still remember one story where some dumbass was talking about how he played halo 3 at his cousins house. He was upset that when he melee'd an enemy with a rocket launcher they didn't die. He thought that since it was a big weapon they shouldv'e died. And that was what he based the game off of. fuckin casuals

>garbage Horde mode
>laughable campaign dialogue and story
>shit tier MP with jaggy ass P2P connections

Gears 3 and 4 are WAY better than 2.

Judgment killed the series hard

The MP was slow and clunky as fuck though. Not to mention it was completely broken at launch.

I played this one a lot back in the day, it was fun at first but got boring pretty quick.

A shame i can never play the third one because under no circumstance will i ever have a Xbox again.

Also, my 360 had 3rl while i was sawing some motherfucker on the multiplayer. I do kinda miss GoW tho.

Yeah that is one thing about casuals that piss me off. If they were intelligent and casual that is cool. Often these people are casual and they are dumb as fuck, obnoxious and very entitled. Just like how stupid the guy you mentioned is and doesn't understand core video game mechanics that are there for specific reasons.

Gears 1 had no respawning game modes on launch. You died in a round you had to sit out for the rest of it. Gaming was much different then too. I would say that Gears never really got to truly break through to these people in the way most shooters do. The way I see it 2007 is where casual shooter fans really started to take notice of online console gaming with the release of the first MW game. 2009 is where in my eyes gaming as we largely know it finally got finalized into what we see today and how shooter games became such a huge genre. Everything wanted to be the next COD and still does even today. Just that they also now want to be the next Overwatch too.

PC VERSION FUCKING WHEN???

>Being this jaded
>this dumb

How many COGs even died during the Operation: Hollow Storm?
Were they just left down there? How did they retreat when shit hit the fan if they were all underground?

>DAAYAAM! THAT'S A LOTTA JUICE!
