In our continuing effort to bring you fresh and interesting content, X3F presents Would You Rather ... a weekly feature that asks you the hard questions. The point? If you had to choose one or the other, which would you go for?
You may have heard that a little game called Gears of War is getting a sequel this November, so in the spirit of that shocking announcement we're going WUR Gears-style! This week's question is all about the connected experience.
Gears of War had a great co-op mode and a solid online multiplayer, but some people bashed Gears for a shoddy matchmaking system and wondered why Gears didn't adopt the Halo 2 play list formula. So, with that in mind, if you had to pick one of these features for Gears of War 2 which would it be?
Feel free to share the reasons for your vote in the comments. We'll share the results of the poll during the next edition of Would You Rather ... which hits X3F every Wednesday.
Last weeks WUR results can be find after the jump ... Ensign!
Last week's results weren't all that surprising, but there does seem to be an interest in the fabled Halo MMO. With 54.7% of our readers picking Halo 4 as their next want in the franchise, it looks like there is still quite a lot of steam behind Master Chief's adventures.

4 player co-op is a must, even if it's system link only.
I like the halo 3 matchmaking system to an extent, but I liked the system Gears had more. It's nice being able to get in a party with your friends before joining a game, however I hated the playlist part of Halo 3. I loved gears because I could search for the exact number of rounds, map, and game type. In halo 3 the game chooses for you and if other people don't agree with your veto then you're stuck, and if they do it might pick something else you don't like. That killed the online for me. A party system that lets you choose the games that you want to play is the way to go.

ok if they had the party that would be cool and and more then 4 on 4 it would be cool but if the switched like halo would make it suck cause i like to pick what map i want to play on not just get thrown into a random one but also with more player it would suck if they did all the glitching crap

Matchmaking that gives you the choice of either being matched with other players of similar skill (like Halo 3) with more criteria (map, gametype, etc) or being able to browse lobbys (like PC games) would be perfect. My favorite part of the Halo 3 party system is that you can switch between co-op, custom games, forge, theater, and matchmaking without loosing the people in your party.

4 player co-op for me.
My most enjoyable moments in that game were in oline co-op with my *real life* friends. If we could all play together, a la Halo3, then it would have been even better.
