Even i didn' t expect that to happen. GRAW, CoD2, BF2, CoD3, PDZ etc have never managed to outdo Halo 2 on XBL.

Obviously this is because the people who are still playing Halo 2 online (and there are a lot of them) are the guys who Gears is mainly aimed at, but it' s still an achievement.

I checked out the online last night but only very briefly, and then this afternoon where MassX repeatedly ' grenade tagged' me. Quez, get back online asap!

Yeah i had fun playing with you guys untill i found out me and my girlfriend were running late for our dinner reservation!

I was really surprised at how smooth and fun it was, very painless. I found it alot better than the R6 Demo, which i found slightly dissapointing, ill hold judgement a bit yet, but i might get the PC version to play online if im still dissapointed

Now that I have figured out to avoid the connection issues with Multiplayer I have been playing it a lot more.

I played a bit of Online, but found that I like the Co-Op mode/campaign mode so
much better. My favourite level is the Train Level... Everything from the music to
the atmosphere, to the graphics, to the gameplay, the battles to the enemies.. it
was just WOW. I haven' t been amazed by a last level like that since " The Maw"
on the original Halo.

The game does not disappoint ANYWHERE, only when I play " spot the lo-res texture"
game...

I missed Mass Effect X' s invite, as I kept saying to myself " Ok, next checkpoint and
I' ll join" As you can see I failed miserably...

I' ll play online with you guys tomorrow definitely!!

In terms of overall greatness and integrity, the game delivers stupendously well.
The cover system is ingenious and intuitive, it also redefines the way you' ll
take cover, Rainbow Six feels poor compared to Gears... So I' ll likely not pick up
RB6 until GoW novelty wears off..

Halo3 has A LOT to live up to, if it' s going to be anything like Gears...

ROLL ON GEARS OF WAR 2!!!

If anyone wants to do co-op over Live, just message me please:

What a game, got it on friday afternoon, had finished it by saturday night on Hard, took it online for the first time last night and it was fantastic.

Just need to play it thorugh on insane now (or whatever its called!)

All my other shooters games seem quite shallow now in comparison.
