Yeah, the multiplayer in Gears is strange, because you can tell it is incomplete, but what is there is really fun.

if the multiplayer didn't come out, the game wouldn't have been such a success. slowly dusting off the game to play some multiplayer.

I had a few achievements to finish up for Gears' campaign. So I started up a game last night and invited a friend to play along. Wow. I had completely forgotten how cool this game really is. The multiplayer stuff is great fun as always, but getting a friend together for the insane campaign has yet to be beaten.

4 Player co-op in Halo 3 is fun. 2 player co-op in Gears, demanding teamwork, is uber fun.

Even though there are TONS of great games out currently, this one still holds up extremely well.

Honestly, I can't even imagine the game doing as well as it did without that component. It certainly wouldn't have been as good of a value.

What's worse is that it would have actually given creedence to the "have fun playing a game that's only 8 hours long!" BS that the Sony Defense Force kept parroting when Gears first dropped.

Whihc is funny, because that about as long as any game on the ps3 lasts...and those don't have multiplay.

The game was fun for a month, then you realize you are playing the exact same thing over and over and over again. No variability, all small sided team slayer matches that inevitably lead to boredom. The campaign was fun to play cooperatively, but Halo 3's 4 person coop mode is incredibly more fun especially with vehicular combat being a huge factor.

Hopefully Gears 2 expands the multiplayer aspect big time.

it should have been cut. The multiplayer was so horrid

Kinda curious what they were planning on selling if there was no multi player (does that mean no co-op too?). The campaign itself is great fun; but terribly short. I couldn't imagine anyone willing to buy the game for its single player experience alone as there is simply not enough there to justify $60...

I still play gears multiplayer all the time, even sine the releases of Halo 3, Orange Box, etc.. But imagine how good the multiplayer on Gears 2 will be.

This confirms what I believed all along, that multiplayer was almost an afterthought, and could of been so much more. Yet it was still phenominal to play. This is why I look forward to a gears of war 2 so badly. It has the potential to have the greatest multiplayer of all time if they focus on it highly from the start.

AS fun as GOW was, It would be alot better had it had more game modes, more options, better ranked matchmaking system (The custom games system was perfect, better then halo 3s anyway). I would also like to see a max player count of 12. A 6v6 match with new modes like CTF would be great.

Man I love gears. And to think I didnt know anything about it tell I saw my friend playing it on my friends list and he was bugging me to buy it. I finally went and bought it to shut him up and loved the game.
