That doesn’t necessarily make it terrible though. picked it up from gamestop at midnight last night. Just didn’t feel the same to me. I only play this game for multiplayer… Seems that there are less reflections. I don’t know, there was a real personal feel to GOW1. Small teams(still small) but I feel like everyone always wants to play the game modes where you respawn constantly. It almost feels like unreal tournament or something. I am going to give it a little longer to get used to it before I sell it… which i am considering. To each their own. ---

Horde mode rules. I’d play if I was home… try doing it on normal or above with only 2 people. The riders are just impossible. ---

i think i am selling this game… i can’t stand the fucking gravity chainsaw that no longer lowers if you shoot the person running at you. and I fucking hate that if you blind fire the shotty 9 times out of 10 the shots hit the floor… Epic fucking killed a fantastic game. The matchmaking sucks balls as well… I am over waiting 30 minutes to get into a fucking game which is usually laggy as fuck because they don’t have regional matching… I am giving it a week to see if they patch some of this bullshit before I toss it on ebay. ---

Word has it they have some updates comming up or whatever so i assume that is contributing to it all. But either than that im loving GOW2. just wished the gameplay was a little better.
