maybe Epic will get the picture and make Gears 3 more like Gears 1. No? You're right, they probably won't.

I play gears2 all the time - and I love seeing it down the list on the top 10. It was in first place for like what, 3 weeks? Maybe even less.

The week of comic-con, they didn't release the numbers. Too bad because I could almost GAURANTEE Battlefield 1943 beat Gears2 that week. Oh well.

The more weeks go by where Gears 2 'lags behind' the leaderboards (see what I did there? I added the word lag which PLAGUES the game online) the more time I hope they spend on gears 3.

Who would have thought, at any given time it seems like there is only 5-10 games of MVC2 going on, but I guess that was enough to bump bf1943 out. Though i did play much more mvc2 then bf1943 this week going for that 100 wins cheevo...

The XBLA top ten is based on full versions purchased, not multiplayer or even unique users.

All this MW2 hype is obviously helping CoD4. At least CoD4 is back above W@W, right were it should be.

I don't know why people are surprised that Gears isn't topping the list. I personally think the multiplayer on that game is terrible. Quite odd coming from a sick single player experience.

I play Halo 3 the most but I can appreciate Cod 4 is a good multiplayer experience too, I just don't understand why Gears is so popular online! :-S

Because a lot of people find the game to be immensely "fun", in spite of all the flaws.

Gears is fun. When laggage does happen, it REALLY happens. But 9/10 games I play don't have any noticeable lag at all. I bet Master Chief can't wield a chainsaw gun.

That's cool since I've been playing H3, cod4, and Splosion Man this these past two weeks. I barely got to part 3-2 on Splosion Man so I'll finish it this week. I also play Team Fortress 2 alot on the 360 almost as much as on my pc which is about 3-4 hours a day...

Dang. I haven't visited my old friend HALO 3 in awhile. Been on COD4 lately and excited about MW2. Maybe I'll check out Halo this weekend. I love the frantic pace of the multiplayer and lone wolve matches. Damn these games are sweet. I don't mind Gear of War 2 for horde and bots once in awhile. I was never good online though.

I've been playing Gears 2 Horde mode (& Bulletwitch) this week.. don;t know if your MP ranking affects teammates for Horde.. Because I'm usually one of worst ones on competitive MP; possibly down to no talks, but soon to bitch when you make a mistake.. but on Horde, I've been usually at the top of the table each round - although Gears 2 is still prone to quitters & idle players that join matches, but just stand there for the easy ranking experience at the end of the round even if they're dead

This is a screenshot from the commercial promoting Halo 3 before it came out.

"Halo 3 is rubbish it's not even a HD game!"

The console scales it from 640p to 720p, so the game is in HD.
Not native, but it is being displayed in HD.

If you want a game to pick on for not being HD, look at HAZE - it runs at 576p, that's Standard Definition for PAL!

I just played some H3 last night for the first time in a while.

Also, I think the pic for this post is still awesome.

Do you want to know why Gears can't climb any higher?

It's because Epic are a bunch of cheap sh*ts that don't want to add dedicated servers to cut out all the lag, glitching & host bullsh*t.

That's why Gears 2 wont ever get to no.1

I can't wait for Serious Sam. It will be the only Arcade game I have played since Alien Hominid.

I really am seriously done with GoW2, I'm tired of host advantage and vaccuum chainsaws and people not fliching when I shoot them in the face with their chainsaws revved.

I am thinking that Halo 3 remaining on top had a LOT to do with DoublEXP weekend being Infection. Infection is an insanely popular gametype.

Gears 2 blows because Epic ruined multiplayer... period. In G1 you could easily gather friends and join games. Now losers quit mid game and you can't pull anyone in for support. MP and the ranking system in G2 is a steaming pile of dung.
