GoW multiplayer=meh

[thatdude222]

don't get me wrong, i love the single player. love it. but the multiplayer just isnt as fun for me. i really dont like how every game type is round based, and would really love a team-deathmatch type gametype to be avaliable. waiting 5 minutes to get back into the game after i die just isnt that fun.

im not a big fan of the multiplayer either, i only enjoy doing multiplayer with friends

I love the multiplayer. Can't get enough. Love the game all around.

they game would make a great team deathmatch, i dont know why they didnt put one in....

SHiit this game is CRACK. I started to play with some school buds and even some XBA'ers and its the SHIIT! I talked to Mattgame on live today, sadly my Shiitbox messed up and the disk was unreadble! GAHHH!

I thought the 4v4 Cog vs Locust was a team deathmatch

This game's multiplayer has got to be some of the best stuff I've seen in ages. I've found a way to easily make lobbies with you're friends (play assassination, no one else does), so we've gotten together every day this break on live and just kicked the s*** out of whoever we played. The multiplayer weapon based achievements are also great incentive to keep playing, no matter how much you want to stop. There are a few annoying glitches, most noticably the one that causes anyone who wasnt in the original lobby in a player match to not be heard by the people who were in the origianal lobby. These will almost definitely be fixed with the next patch though. God I love this game.

only fun round based game ive played is counter-strike. gears of war just, isnt that fun. i hate waiting 5 minutes to jump back in after i die. id rather it be a 4v4 match, timed, or first team to 50 kills or so, with respawns when you die.

along with the name of the host of the ranked match.


i don't mind the multiplayer on gears, but i love the coop.

[BuLLsEyEWTF]

I think multiplayer is perfect as is..

[mattgame]

I understand the need for a match more like if you die you respawn in like 5 seconds. They may do that, however, the good thing about when you die is you get to watch the rest of the action which I find to pretty exciting.


Oh yeah, the other trick is don't die.:whistle:

playing>watching

It does seem it is missing a bit in the Multi-player by being very laggy and people constantly quiting games and kicking you back into the lobby. The host owns on the multi-just like all the other games out there. If your host youll more than likely win.

[SH4MR0CK]

Ya I liked the multiplayer at first but it gets old after awhile they definetly need some new gametypes because warzone and execution are only fun to a point and assination is just a useless gametype.

[mattgame]

It is addictive in that it makes you play with your head as well as brute force and awesome killing power. I love it.

[DemonicTiamat]

i thort the multiplay was a bit lacking when i first started. But after getting used to using the weapons and finding the best ways to kill people its quite enjoyable, especailly when you take out a team of 4 on your own with the pistol, LOL that was well funny. the host kicked me afterwards tho :D

He was ghey! You should have kept joining his game anyway and then bad rep his ass.

It starts out being a lot of fun. Then you realize the shotgun is ridiculously overpowered and that almost every round consists of shotgun battles for the power weapon on the map, where most people die, leaving little use for that power weapon.

I'll be pretty much done with it when I get GRAW 2 next week.

Well it's not that it's overpwoered it's that the host of the game has the advantage with it. Also that running shotgun thing is ridiculously too easy to pull off one hitter quitters. I try to use a weapon that will nail a joker froma distance. And then if they get close make sure I get active on whatever weapon I have and go to work. I love the game, it could just use a little fine tuning.

[Taters]

Definitely, there are a lot of things about the game that are great, but, for me at least, the shotgun is so good in this game, it really defeats the purpose of using anything else many times. I try to play the game the way it was meant to be played, tactical, using cover to try to outflank my opponents, and usually it ammounts to having to fight another shotgun battle. Pretty much you have to accept that the shotgun is the main weapon in multiplayer and you'll have to use it if you want to do well.

I don't want to play a game where I'm actually forced into one weapon choice, with very few good alternatives.

i agree i do like that it isnt like halo 2 with the spawning kind of makes u take the game a bit more serious cause if u loose thats it wait... also its like being in a gladiator match when ur cheering for the guy on ur team to kill the last guy on there team to win. (except when ur last guy is just standing in spawn like an idiot i hate those guys) but wat i do wish and if they could just do one thing to multi id make it able to invite ur friends to play in ranks because to me the way they have it now really is horrible to wait up to 20 mins to get 8 players is stupid also no quits when u start a match the only way to get out of it is to go to dashboard besides that.. no quits .....

[Taters]

They were talking about letting you earn achievements in player matches. That would make it a bit better. I don't care at all about my rank, the only reason I leave player matches is for achievements, and it's a bit harder, and I definitely prefer a challenge.

I only play ranked matches for the sole reason that I want the seriously achievement. I don't think they'll make the achievements player match compatible either, it would be just too easy.

npthing compares to longshot,not even the overpowered shot gun. A little trick i used to do,shot a shot from my longshot then instead of reloading i would malee with B button until i saw somone. it would restart the reload over and over so you can create a active reload whenever you wanted 2. Longshot + Active reload = instadown.better then shotgun,most of the time.

Youll feel forced into using a shotgun(expecially in execution games) but with enough practice any weapon is just as good .

[Taters]

I would agree that longshot is damn fine (I usually just switch guns if I'm waiting for AR) but it gets to be a real pain to get owned by host shotty after your sniper bullet flys straight through their head.

Actually, this game seems like a lot of fun to me again. I didn't play for about three weeks, but I got back on today, and it was so much fun again. Maybe it's because I sucked like I used to, and had to reteach myself tactics and all that, or maybe I just needed a break, but I find myself loving this game again.
