John Batista? Seriously? You coulda went for Dave Batista, David Batista, David Michael Bautista (his real name) but John? lol.

I'm a big Dwayne Johnson fan but quite frankly, the actors who portray the characters have to look like them and be able to pull off similar voices.

I'm afraid with that said I think this should be a CGI movie and had always hoped it would be. If it's not a CGI movie and they have to cast it, I think you just use the voice actor for Cole Train because the guy already fits the bill looks and voice wise. As for Dom, Baird and Marcus.. Neal McDonough would own Baird with relative ease, Dominic Purcell could work for Marcus and Dom meanwhile I think Franky G..

Honestly though, I've read some dumb suggestions for the lead of Marcus, which include Batista, Bruce Willis and John Travolta. Personally, Dominic Purcells gruff voice and attitude in Prison Break wouldn't take too much of a leap into Gears.

I just hope they stick with a CGI movie. The film will be much better recieved by gamers and critics alike.

I personally think that writing off a multiplayer game mode before you actually play it screams idiotic. I don't see the point in assuming it's going to be good or bad when it could quite easily be either. I think if you look at the facts one could draw the conclusion that perhaps 2K passed it off to a somewhat established multiplayer creator to create something true to the Bioshock setting, whilst being an a-typical shooter MP. When I say established, I mean in the fact that this dev has actually made or been involved in interesting multiplayer games- hell, the fact you know em means they're established.

Just think about it, it makes sense that they'd pass it off and although people are complaining about the idea of Digital Extremes, the bias article forgets to mention that they also had a hand in what I class a very unique and interesting multiplayer experience in the Unreal Tournament. I personally like the idea of XP and buying plasmas, tonics, weapons and basically creating a character skillset suited to your style - much like COD but perhaps they'll tweak it and make it more advanced.

I don't think anyone with half a brain should write this off without at least playing it. I mean, why bother doing that? You waste nothing by trying and if you love gaming, the LEAST you could do is be somewhat optimistic.

Did Joe graf code the first GOW? Because if he didn't then it's obvious he should be shot because in comparison two doesn't have shit on one.

Half the things you just stated are exactly why I haven't played the game - if none of them haven't been fixed then I just don't see the fucking point.

This game is a classic EPIC FAIL and I can't believe so many people like it. It's put me off the series so much I'm not even sure how much I'll be interested when three rolls around in a few years time.

Don't be an idiot. The characters are clearly more sluggish and slow in comparison to one. Its blatently obvious for anyone to notice if you've played the two games.

I haven't played this game properly at all since it first came out. I loved GOW1 and rarely had connection issues but in Gears 2, I couldn't count the amount of times I started the match without a weapon and was unable to rectify that until it decided it wanted to.

I'm from the UK and the lag in this game and the general slowness of the characters in comparison to the last game ruined it and I haven't touched it since probably the the last update in which again, I found no general difference in lag and still found myself getting pwned with no weapon or killed relatively easy when my bullets seemed to bounce off my opponents.

The babel guy who talks about UK people and complaining about lag seems to me to be very ignorant, because this game has been a terrible game to play for English people without phenomenal connections since its arrived. I have an AOL Broadband connection which isn't fantastic, but always allowed me to have playable matches on GOW1, host okay and not actually have much lag - this game though totally changed that and like I've said, starting without a weapon? Seriously? OK.

Anyway, I'm tempted to shove the game back in and give Gears 2 a shot because if it has improved then I'd really like to get back into a franchise that I was such a big fan of. The region preferencing if it works like I hope won't throw me into games with Americans I cannot connect to because as we all know, connecting to Americans if your English even on GOW1 sometimes red bar/orange barred you (if your connection wasn't hella fast) and it wasn't always playable then - so hopefully this works out.

Still not buying any of the maps though, I think a company that releases such a stupid game for such a high price to people who can't play online due to errors they've made have a nerve charging me for more maps when with the amount of time my game has been gathering dust due to their releasing of a pourly finished product is incredibly stupid.
