I can't wait for button mash chainsaw battles. I expect my turbo controller to positively skew my win percentage considerably.

Well, everyone below is saying they were worthless anyway. I never used them all at all in GoW 1 and my guys seemed to do their thing fairly well anyway.

I spent most of my time playing co-op anyway, so I suppose that has a lot to do with not recalling any squad commands. Co-op what you want to be playing anyway, so screw squad commands.

Yeah, the squad commands were so basic, that no one would miss 'em, really. The only other choice would be to beef them up to a Brothers in Arms level, which would turn it into a different kind of game.

i dont get the stupid comments of "its going to be worse" when something gets axed, its usualy replaced with something better, just because the only thing confirmed is that commands is gone, doesnt mean they havnt put something in its place. stop being such idiots and wait untill the game is released to pass judgement.

and if you think its so easy to be original, why dont you create your own games?

Good, cause the squad commands never worked anyway. My guys ran out and got themselves killed in annoying ways anyway. Especially in that damn courtyard with the snipers.

And you guys wanna talk about how 360 fanboys troll? Give the game credit. A game doesn't sell millions and win a crap load of awards for nothing.

The command system was completely useless, at least on the PC version. Honestly, all they needed was the ability to order player to a location a la Rainbow Six: Vegas. They wouldn't have needed anything more than that.

I dont remember commands in the first one..

For Chainsaw battles i would rather have user initiated sequences.... So in multiplayer someone picks a set of buttons to press, then the other guy has to match it... If he does, he gets to pick the next sequence..
At least this way its not random and its like a mini "paper/rock/scissor" game....
I dont like button mashing.... I dont need sore thumbs all the time

Settle down children. We all know the true definition of a fanboy is someone who is too poor to own more than one console and has to keep putting the other one down to keep assuring himself he made the right choice. To El Serpiente, callate la boca y para de mamar a Sony guey lol. Anyway, I for one am really excited about this game. I really liked the first one despite the story being a bit short and the multiplayer got boring after a month or two.

Did you just tell El Serpiente to shut up and stop sucking Sony dick? Because that would mean he was talking with his mouth full...which is wrong on so many levels.

"And for the record, I did enjoy Gears of Sausage. I own it for the PC. It just seems like they are making changes just to make changes which never bodes well for a game."

el serpiente,
"I have to think really hard to find something said here on joystiq that is dumber than that."

I got it, but I just looked through your history, not PremierAssassin's.

"...if you let what people say on a fanboy ghetto like joystiq influence your buying decisions you are mentally diabled."

Are you sure that you're not the "disabled" one?

I would not be a fanboy if the PS3 was not the only console that I can find in a store that wont crap out on me in 3-6 months.

I owned a 360 when it first came out, it bit me in the ass. I would be a Wii owner if I had EVER seen one in a store.

So there ya go.

"Well in a way it was, because it appears the 360 is not a sound financial investment."

And the PlayStation 3 is a sound investment?

Last time I checked, it's a fucking videogame console that depreciates like every other electronic toy.

Also, Gears of War is an awesome game and you bloody well know it. All this hate rhetoric just solidifies how insecure the die-hard PS3 fanboys really are.

I own all three consoles, so if you can afford a PS3 you can pretty much afford an Xbox360 or a Wii.
I don't think poor is the right word just call'em cheap.

el serpiente,

Perhaps you should google what the word 'investment' means. You seem innocent enough, just not very bright.

Also, lovely car analogy.

However, you may to want to get some wheels for your superior 'Toyota'. Sitting on the driveway must get boring after a while.

@Fenix

You knoe just as well as I do your only getting so worked up because its Gears Of War ... It was a fun game for online multiplayer but the camapign was forgetable ... I think Gears 2 will have some improvements and will pack a better campaign punch ... There is no need to get into a poo flinging contest because someone talked bad about your favorite game ...

Fenix,

Would you like some more cheese with your whine?

@The Serpent

What happend to your avatar that had the Wii cheerleader on Viewtiful Joes body?

That was classic!

hit me up on PSN: johnnynumber5

And yes I did cave in and purchase Haze even with the bad reviews ... Will make for some fun times before MGS 4 consumes me all together ... In reference to Haze - "they are who we thought they were, if you want to crown em then go ahead and crown their ass, they are who we thought they were and we let em off the hook"

el serpiente,
You don't feel embarrassed about calling someone out on their intelligence and misspelling the word "disabled"? Because that's pretty fucking ironic if you ask me. Also, you ask me to be clever about insulting you and then say something ridiculously juvenile and slow-witted like "you have a raging boner for me". Do you not understand that you are everything that you profess to hate? Oh, and Worst Commenter Ever is a hilarious nickname. Do you come up with your own stuff or do you have writers?

el serpiente,
You do realize that you're the only one proclaiming that you're "owning" people, right? You're also the only one saying that anybody else is "failing". Delusional doesn't even begin to describe whatever the hell your problem is, does it?
Lemme guess, you're gonna come back with something that sounds like, "Blah, blah, PS3 rox, blah, blah, 360 is teh RROD lmao!11!!1, you fail."

Thank God there's not going to be any so called "quick-time events"! I am getting so tired of those. The only game that does them well is GOD of War. I dont mind at all that they're axing the squad commands. Thinking back when I played the first game, I dont think I ever needed to use those. I just hope that your squad is as intelligent if not more so than in the first game.

My comment was a little harsh. I was just having a little fun during my lunch. My bad lol. Reading joystiq's comments is very similar to reading the tabloids at the check out lane. You know they have nothing informative to say but somehow it's still very entertaining. I usually just enjoy to read the fanboys go back in forth and once in a while I like to jump in and stir things up is all. As you were...

To use the term "worse" indicates that the first one was bad for some reason. I find that a far cry from the truth. I think Gears of War is an excellent game. I have the PC, PS3, 360, Wii...all that and Gears tops most games on any of those systems.
Resistance Fall of Man, for example, is the only game on the PS3 worth mentioning and I feel, personally, that Gears is a more entertaining and better feeling game (and yes, I own both). To each his own opinion I suppose. But Gears is not "bad", and I only feel that Gears 2 will be BETTER not worse.
