People will find something new to complain about. With enough practice the host just becomes another victim at you feet or below your boot as it were.

I've been called a shotgun newb, lancer newb, pistol newb, sniper newb, grenade newb, and torque bow newb all in one match. So I just stood out in the open and let the guy kill me and then called him a bullet newb.
I am a whore with the pistol, but their are trumps to every weapon. I never had a problem trumping the host and his/her shotgun.

Any chance they'll make it fun and noob friendly? Impossible, no?
I'll stick with Co-Op.

They could, but then it would be called COD4.

The game is 2 years old. If you are a noob by this point you deserve all the rape that gets hefted upon you. You should have been playing from emergence day. Everyone was a noob back then, you would have been fine.
And I don't want to hear the "Oh, but I needed the money to pay for my baby's insulin" or "Oh but I was imprissoned in a Chilean POW camp for 2 years" or any other cry baby loser exscuses.
You get in there, you take your licks as you get better and you shut your trap.

What are you dumb shits talking about? Gears of War is the most casual shooter on the 360. No offense and I realize how oxymoronic a game is being a Casual Third-person Survival-horror Shooter.
You guys can't seriously say this is a hardcore shooter, hardcore gore? Yes, hardcore shooter? No.

are they using dedicated servers? or will it be based on your own connection?

It's not just Host Shotty that's there though, there's host advantage with every weapon, so I hope it's fixed across the board.
For example, a host lancer can be ridiculously powerful, downing you before you even have chance to roll or run away. And a host sniper is much easier to use than a non-host sniper...

I'd imagine the fix has to do with the netcode itself, since multiplayer for Gears 1 was such a late addition. As such, a fix for host shotty should be a fix for host anything.
Hopefully they don't forget to remove the stuff they put in there to hold the host back like the blood on the screen and the inability to mash A to speed up revival, lol.

YES!!! I think the real way to fix this problem is to have dedicated servers, but im sure that would pose a whole new sort of problem that i wouldnt be able to comprehend.
The important thing is that they are fixing it somehow someway. ;p

How are they going to make multiplayer different enough from the original to make it worth while? To be honest i haven't done any research, but what are some of the new modes?
