I dont see the need to rmeove active sniper downs. They already fixed the problem by letting you crawl. You wont be getting triple downed to often now (execution) because you can crawl to cover, behind the snipers view. I think this makes it perfect to leave it in.

I think I remember something that since it will be 5v5 in Gears 2, there might be bots added just to fill the room up. I might be mistaken though.

Thats harsh.

I actually agree, that would be pretty boss. Id take that over getting downed any day.

Having a gears logo in the middle of your screen all round sounds less fun than being downed

What do you mean not let it recharge? Thats just dumb and negates the whole reason of a recharging health system.

It will probably damage you enough till one bullet for any gun will put you down.

Yeah, you're probably one of this kiddies that relies entirely on active downs to get kills, right? I know you are, because those types of people are the ONLY people who actually defend the active sniper.

Do i active down? Yes.

Do i do it exclusively? No.

Seriously, i happily do it. Cause i know it annoys people like you, who like to cry over something that is apart of a game, all because a player is choosing not to miss every shot on the off chance that he might get lucky and bag a headshot.

How many games have you played where some fool has picked up the sniper, takes a shot, runs away, takes a shot, runs away and just winds up dying anyway? Waste of time, hes an idiot for doing it and a team mate i despise having.

Sorry, analog sticks just aren't accurate enough to get constant headshots, I'd need to dedicate a lot of time to get good enough to do that and i prefer variety so I just wouldn't.

Question though; What's stopping you from doing it back? The sniper is often placed in a spot that is a fair distance from you and me. What's stopping *you* killing me before i pick it up? Why is it, i can avoid active downs and take down snipers and YOU can't?

No point crying over a tactic when you have opportunity's to counter it mate, if you're that bad you should stick to COD4, anyone can get a kill in that.

haha, I'm pretty sure the idea of Cliffy B being full of crap has been had by many people before. I think he likes to hear his voice.
As for the active reload on Sniper, I'd assume that being hit by it in Gears 2 will just give you the maximum damage possible before being downed, which then leaves you ultra vulnerable unless you get quick cover. Gotta say Justin I think your idea stinks!
