GoW2

I really enjoyed the multiplayer on Gow. It was really the first game I ever played online and it was a totally different experience. For that reason alone I think I let some of the minor annoyances slide. For instance, I was never to bothered about host advantage, mainly because I didn't know what it was. Now it seems that Epic are to fix all these issues for GoW2.

People loved it but they didn't like the host advantage [in Gears 1 multiplayer]. They got tired of the shotgun inconsistencies. We're fixing all of that. They didn't like the randomness of the chainsaw, so we put the chainsaw duel in — may the best man win! A lot of players wanted respawning, but we added in some modes for downloadable content on Gears 1 that added respawning, but even then it was a 15-second cue. So we have game modes now, like Guardian, where players cycle in and out a lot more often. And Wingman, which is kind of like our version of Last Man Standing Free-for-All, where you have five teams of two each. So it's you and a buddy versus the world, which feels really good. We've added a lot more depth to the multiplayer.

Call me a pokey ol' man, but I just got the original GoW today (I'm cheap, and seldom buy games at release. They just marked GoW down to $40 American, so I snapped it up.) I'm going through the tutorial right now in fact.

I like it so far, but they throw a lot at you real quick. I can't remember how to switch weapons. Gotta bust out the manual I guess. "If at first you don't succede, read the instructions!"

I did download the MP maps tho, so maybe this weekend someone can show me how coop and MP works.

Co-op is really, really cool. It is the only way I got through on the hardest setting.

Sounds good. I personally can't wait for this game. Like others here this is the first game that I've played online properly and it's also one that I was actually pretty good at too!
