I need that special edition L4D to release, so I can join you fuckers. If you haven't tried Gears after the patch, I suggest you do it. It has a little more Gears 1 included, but it's still Gears 2. It's like a compromise between the two. Shotgun seems upgraded a bit. One or two shotgun blasts from a few feet make red paint. Shotgun splattering is MUCH more common like Gears 1 was. Meleeing doesn't auto-stun the victim unless it's a damn near perfect punch.
If you barely connect, you don't get dazed and can continue moving, which makes the two piece harder to do. Also, you cannot punch while running anymore, which also takes the two piece effectiveness and cuts it right in half. It's honestly a shotgun fest again like I think Gears 1 was before. An active reload splatters torsos.
There are still occasional lag switchers, the matchmaking system is still slow at times, and sometimes gives some off matchups, but the game plays a lot differently, and IMO, a lot BETTER than it did before, and I think a lot of Gears 1 players will like the changes. Last thing I remember is if someone is running to you with the chainsaw, shooting them with the lancer or shotgun will stun them or make them walk really slow. It's best if walking backwards and shooting them, but it does actually work 9 out of 10 times.
Woah, seriously? AWESOME! I didn't even know there was a new patch.
I now have a LOT more motivation to get the new maps.
WHO WANTS TO PLAY GEARS 2 OVER THE WEEKEND!?
