I am looking forward to it, but I am skeptical.

I heard for ages that Killzone would be the Halo killer, and while it was a good game, it wasn't even close (my opinion, of course). And I'm not even a Halo fanboy. I like it, but don't think it deserves all of the praise it gets. Even so, it still beat the shit out of Killzone.

This game looks awesome. It might be enough to make me get a 360. We shall see.

JUST DO IT! Don't forget the awesomeness of Smackdown vs Raw on 360. Then I can whoop that ass. :D

packt up

11-02-2006, 02:29 PM

This game looks sick. Almost makes me want to buy a 360 just for that.

11-02-2006, 02:54 PM

I'll be playing it. I kind of have high hopes for the multiplayer especially but there's a part of me that feels like this is going to be a let down.

Add me for Live if you want: Patent Pender

Add me for Live if you want: Patent Pender

I'll do it tonight when I get home from work. We can start a 360 Smackdown vs Raw TPWW league. :cool:

The multiplayer is going to be four on four and tactical awesomeness. Not run and gun.

I'll probably pick it up at some point.

well i ordered mine through Gameznflix.com, so HOPEFULLY it'll ship today and get here tomorrow. If not, i hope i get it by weeks end. I would have just went out tomorrow and bought it, but i get a discount through gameznflix for being a member, so GoW came out to $53 bucks instead of the usual $70 :) Im cheap.

You can check what other people are playing? That's sweet.

Played some co-op earlier, and it is pretty fun. Havn't played any other modes yet though.

This game is siccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

Requiem

11-11-2006, 02:09 AM

Played some versus over live earlier. Dunno.. I like it, but I can't see it being really addicting or anything. It's too run and gun for me.

D Mac

11-11-2006, 03:17 AM

I have it now. Il Duce what is your gamertag.

11-11-2006, 03:09 PM

mine STILL hasnt come in...grrrr....

Fignuts

11-11-2006, 03:21 PM

Its like a cross between the run and gun arcade style, halo shooter, and the more realistic cover-oriented GRAW. I love it.

Requiem

11-11-2006, 05:23 PM

I don't have my own. I don't even own an x-box. Was playing it over live at a friend's.

Hanso Amore

11-11-2006, 06:26 PM

SO far im impressed. Very cool single player, and co op.

I dont know how well it will play on Multiplayer deathmatch, Im going to try that later. Anyone played on Live? Good? Bad?

Boondock Saint

Sick game. Played it last night at a friends. Co-op is awesome, possibly one of the best games I've played that utilizies the co-op feature well. I've always felt more games should have it. Sniper rifle is nastyyyyyyyyy.

Fignuts

11-13-2006, 12:58 AM

The visuals in this game are freakishly good. So much detail i'm amazed it didn't take them 20 years to make this. Even the character animations are some of the best i've ever seen. I got hit and died by a berserker because i was too busy admiring its running animation to move.

WTF

last boss is fucking hard man.

Requiem

11-13-2006, 07:03 PM

To be honest, versus still isn't that appealing to me. I dunno.. the style of gameplay just doesn't go well. I also don't like having to wait for the end of the round to get to play again. The whole 'rounds' thing is kinda meh..

OssMan

11-13-2006, 07:23 PM

what is it for

11-13-2006, 07:28 PM

i.e. not you

lol did you see me totally burn assman?

That was awesome.

alvarado52

11-14-2006, 06:23 PM

this game is the balls. Plain and simple. The online gameply reminds me alot of Socom, stop and pop, your ass dies...then your dead. Its a much needed break from the usual Halo 'balls to the wall you die, no biggy youll be back in 5 seconds' shit.

ClockShot

11-15-2006, 09:47 PM

My brother rented this game. Really awesome. I'm hitting the floor laughing with some of the stuff the squad has been saying. Especially Baird. Funny stuff from him.

Weapons wise. I'm hoping to see alot more during my ventures in the game. Having a blast with the Torque bow. I plan to buy this Friday. If Gamestop doesn't fuck me over with the PS3.

People in the UK, dont forget to download the Gears theme and picture pack, ONE DAY ONLY!

Picking this up later today. Considering I didn't really pay much attention to this untill a week ago, I'm pretty pumped up for this.

Nice game.

Me and the guys spent like alot of money on getting a 360, 2 wired controllers, DoA4, Gears of War, SvR07, and Marvel UA. No XBLive yet. Anyway...

Gears is nice. I wish they put more into an offline multiplayer mode but whatever. Very pretty, too. I should be back on Live soon!!!

You'll have to add me again when you get back on Live. I had to take you off to save room since you have'nt been on in a while.

i'm only at "fork in the road" :(

11-19-2006, 03:54 PM

Played 2v2 multiplayer yesterday. Didn't get a kill, but yeah the graphics were impressive. I would have liked some more color though, and maybe make it easier to tell who is on your team and whatnot.

Disturbed316

11-19-2006, 04:04 PM

On Act four at the moment, where you "go home", I love this game more with every minute I play it.

Haven't tried out online or co-op missions yet, will probably do it after I beat the game first time round.

11-19-2006, 04:52 PM

yea i'm gonna wait until i beat it also. im at the part where they blow up my helicopter and that fucker slices kim.

Finished it last night, needed help from EA though :$

Starting to go through it again on a different difficulty, and gonna try out online.

Gonna try out online soon and see how badly I fuck up.

alvarado52

11-22-2006, 03:41 PM

DIstubred. Two things:

1) if you hear a chainsaw getting revved up, roll past blind spots
2) if someone runs to you like Leatherface with his chainsaw revved, dont run, just fire a few shots at him and the chainsaw will stop and he'll stumble.

....aaaaand 3) aiming for the head is nice and all, but if you really wanna be effective in this game, you HAVE to aim for their legs. The legs drop them quicker, and there is no instant head shot kill with any weapon other than the sniper.

Extreme Angle

11-22-2006, 04:00 PM

yeah my friends always die from the "i hear a chainsaw but i am gonna keep walking!" death, as soon as i hear it i roll left and run.
Cheers about the legs bit thou :D
