    Since I own Gears of War guess I misewell drop my two cents in here. UV Soaked you comment on the how the blood does not build up on the armor and how Marcus Fenix's voice does not appeal to your. Granted there is nothing I can say to change your opinion on the voice, consider the blood for a second. The whole world of Gears is done with a very bland color pallet. Grey seems to be the color of choice, and while other levels do have color in them they aren't as vibrant as say the blood. The blood looks and moves the way it does to make it hit home to the gamer that something is getting hit. A visual que is needed so that the gamer knows when his gun is hitting the enemies.

    Halo had energy shields and the Covenant real back in pain. The Locusts are by nature a very powerful race and thus take bullets easily. Making blood fly the way it does was the only real recourse. As for it not getting on his armor...I certainly wouldn't want to play a blood drenched man the whole way but that is just my cup of tea.

    As for the game being too easy and cover not being used. Try playing the game on Insane. Cover is vital then. But yes, on the easier difficulties cover is almost not needed due to the the sluggish A.I. and ineffective rounds of the enemies. But no game should be judged by its easiest setting. Just think if we based Halo or FEAR on this principle.

    Over all these problems are minor to the very big problem in Gears, the matchmaking. How Epic who shows they know how to make multiplayer games with examples like UT2K4, can provide us with such a gimped version of matchmaking in Gears is mind boggling. A lot have pointed the finger to MS with the TruSkill system, but why Epic did not program Gears to have a matchmaking system that took the average of a party of friends and matched them with a party with similar average makes no sense. Even worse is the fact that, while some companies say it isn't possible, Bungie says it is and it programming it. Guess it just took a little more work. I mean I love Gears, been the most fun since Halo came out, but this matchmaking flaw really hurts it for me when it comes to multiplayer. Yeah I know there is the work around of "I'll make a game and then come find me." But we shouldn't be required to do that.

    I also personally own Gears of War and have played online since it came out (I'm ranked somewhere near 15,000 :)). The only real issue I've had with it is the collision detection, it gets ridiculous sometimes.

    And another thing, the shotgun is WAY too over powering (much like Halo2's shotty with a host holding it) and too widely used for my liking. In my opinion, shotgun has to be the best of the bad weapons (if that makes any sense) in the game. I mean yeah it's cool sometimes but when it's the only weapon you get killed with in a match, you really get frustrated with it and start to dislike it because as I said, people over use it and it's so powerful that I'd compare it to host's shotgun in Halo2.

    I have beatin the game with my buddy. And i'll tell you, even on easy you need cover. I tried the running around technique :D a few times and it DID NOT work to my advantage.

    It is an awsome awsome game tho. ONly thing that bothers me is how short it is.

    no trust me, this game is awesome man, and the blood is funny when you shoot the monsters bodies on the floor, and i dont see why he would lose blood when he has this xtreme shields and stuff, and the thing that make this game awesome is the multiplayer, so good online when playing with friends, and the chainsaw is a nice feature, beautiful graphics, now this game should get game of the year
