the game that i’m moslty looking forward to WOULD have been Resistance 2 cuz of the 8 player coop and 60 player online but Gears of war 2 has new weapons like da flamethrower, new vehicles like da assault derrick, new emenies like da rockworms, new characters like Tai and Dizzy. Plus the new Multiplayer modes like wingman. Gears of war 2 is da most BADASS GAME
ever.

I’m looking foward to Resistance 2 more. New weapons, new foes, 60-player online, 8 player co-op on seperate story, rumored 70 multi-player maps, Insomnicas track record of quality games.

I’m most looking forward to Gears of War 2. Gears of War had one of the greatest campaign modes I’ve ever played in a FPS. I’m can’t wait for the continuing of the story as well as the added characters, weapons, vehicles and the enhanced multi-player with 5v5 instead of 4v4. I will admit that 60 person online is going to be intense but i did not enjoy Resistance anywhere as much as Gears of War. Gears has a much more interesting story too it.

I am looking forward to both very much, but I have to got to give the applaud to Gears 2. Its just that when you remember the ending, the epicness of it, it just pumped you up, and it made you feel like there HAD to be more to this story. Whereas Resistance ended with a typical “he’s infected!” cliche end. I LOVED Resistance, and I re did it with my little bro since we got dual shocks and hadn’t done co-op.

ITs a really fun game. But Gears just left an impression on me, it felt like the first, true to the hype, next generation game.

I LOVE games like Warhawk online, the 32 players is fun, but really, its just a number. I prefer the gears/halo style of squad and communication/skill based gameplay. The hecticness of 32 players is enough, but 60?
That should be fun, but it’ll be hard to see how it will work out, even with seperate skirmishes across huge maps.

However, in terms of sheer value, a full fledged campaign, a second, different, 8 player online campaign, and 60 players online is amazing. Sheer “bang for your buck”. I won’t deny Resistance 2 for what it is.

But Gears 2 is continuing on a much better story, and Epic said that Gears 1’s multi player was a “thoroughly rushed, half thought out mess” compared to what polish they are putting in to Gears 2! I loved Gears 1’s online, and Gears 2 is supposed to go above and beyond compared to it. Plus, Resistance is just too run/gun for me, online at least. SIngle player requires thought but multiplayer wise its a different story. The Pop/stop and cover system based gameplay in Gears 2 is looking more interesting.

All I know is, both Games will rock, really, really hard.

May the best man win!
