I went over my friends house today and when i got there he was playing GOW. He told me that A LOT of people play online. Before I consider renting it, I just wanted to ask u guys about it first. What makes gears so special? Is it fast or slow paced. From what I saw, the controls(like the cover and sprint being the A button) didn't seem all that fluid. What is with the L button aiming. I'm not dissing gears. To tell u the truth, I've never played it but i just want to know what makes this game so great that everyone has it(but me )

3rd person looks terrible.

Plus every character looks 150 lbs overweight.

Isn't this the Rainbow Six Vegas 2 official forum?

all gears 1 is the same thing over and over again u will be bored fast gears if for kids who cant aim and shoot in the 1st person world its the first person to the shot gun then roll and shoot roll and shoot..... dont waste ur time hopefully gears 2 will be better w the new gamemodes and they made it a priority to stop the shotgun roll and shoot nonsense and more cover based shooting

and this isnt gears forums this is vegas forums take it to gears forums for help

At least Epic put some effort into making Gears of War 2 feel like a sequel!

In any case, since you posted this thread on the R6V2 forum, I will say this:


Gears of War 2 is worth your money. Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, however, isn't.

ch33ze0g, GOW is very easy to get into and has a very intuitive control method. It's very much like the Vegas system only I'd have to say it's a little more fluid. Using the A button for more than one thing actually works very well as they got the whole contextual input thing down pat.

There isn't a great deal of varying gameplay throughout the single player game, but it's certainly not more repetitive than the multiplayer elements of your average game. Playing it co-op is a blast and is satisfying when you pull of supression/distraction and flanking manoeuvres in places with a friend.

If you like 3rd person games of the Vegas style and sci-fi, you can't go wrong, especially when the game is so cheap now.

As different as GOW and R6 seem, a few aspects in each of the games are similar.

In fact, I actually seen some footage of Gears Of War 2 implementing something that IMO should be in the Rainbow Six series, at least as long as they use the rappel system.

And that is being able to shoot (cut) a rappel down, something so simple could completely change the dynamics of a map.

Just rent it because people have different opinions about a game.

I think GOWs boring and is just duck, shoot with sniper or shotgun and then chainsaw the the guy in front of you.
