i feel like th co-op aspect is really the shining prt of this game...and the fact that you can co-op over live....sadly, in PS3's resistance, co-op will only be available on the same console

agreed, so far the co-op is the best part. it's really difficult and engaging. the ai rarely repeats itself, and they take no prisoners.

i was ready to retire this game already until i played co-op with a friend this morning.

some friends and i have our first gamebattle tonight: http://gearsofwar.xbox360.gamebattles.com/stats/769

we'll see if that makes it any more interesting.

the camera movement is pretty slick, the "look" feature is really natural.

I think so, just look at how powerful the pistols are in comparison to the assault rifle.

I'm at the 4th Act and I'm loving the game. It takes a bit of time to get into it, but it's an awesome experience once it "clicks". The single player stages are really diverse and don't get stale.

I've only played a little MP as I'm trying to brush up on my skills in the SP game first

ok...this game is addicting. haven't tried MP yet since I'm still getting the hang of the pop and shoot.

is it me or do your squadmates get knocked out of commission kinda easily?

whoever's on Live can add me to their friends list: hombow

Well in that respect I guess, but they're very very different games.

ah, i like the small amount of people in multiplayer.

especially considering it's a round based game.

But it's not supposed to be any sort of run and gun. You aren't supposed to see your enemies right away - it's all about positioning and shit like that. I think it works well this way.

I don't know how you can stay up so late, but that was fun. I had only played one map/game before we started playing so I was just trying to figure out the maps.

Let me know when you are gonna be on next.
