    I miss the maps. Even horde was more fun for some reason in Gears 2. It also had my favorite campaign of the 3 games.

    No sawed-off's and retros. Creative naming (i.e. "Annex" versus "King of the Hill", creative map names, etc.) The cover system was a lot better too, in Gears of War 3 I tend to get stuck to things, roll when I don't want to, switch between cover instead of running around a corner. Don't miss the bad connections or host quitting right before you get the W though.

    Man the campaign really was good.
    i miss the horror/scare the **** out of me type feeling i got from gow 2.
    only thing that sucked was dom being a ****head and getting killed/downed all the time.
    I have killed. I have helped kill. I have killed part of myself. I cannot change this. I... I must seek Buddha. I must seek Christ.

    Exactly this. Other than that, I really don't miss the frustration of Gears 2 at all.

    The campaign, menu music, and overall horror feel of the game.

    I also like the graphical and musical style the fact that it has an end of the world feel unlike gears 3 where all the colours are too bright and vivid and environments look pristeen instead of war torn as they should.
    Also the fact that it was a heavily skill based game their was no babysitting going on which made each kill I got make me feel pumped up.
    I think the weapons in general were better balenced aswell rifles were support weapons and the gnasher was a slayer weapon unlike gears 3 where rifles are capable of supporting and slaying.
    The best working cover system of all gears games made wallbounce battles really intense and slick.
    I hate the word Adapt when it is used in the context of shooters. All it is is a bad justification for when your favorite weapon is onto a good thing. Near launch all the sawed off fans were saying adapt to the gnasher community. After the sawed off was nerfed the sawed off community complained and guess what the gnasher fans were saying.... thats right adapt.Please take the time to read this thread

    There were no Sawed off and no Retro. Brilliant multiplayer game! =)

    Gears 1 was even better imo. No one even play Gears 3 versus, wonder why....

    The campaign is so much better in gears 2 than 1 and 3 but online play sucked (even worse now that you can't play without buying map packs). I agree that the cover was much better, but after playing so much gow3 I keep holding down buttons to pick up ammo etc. I definitely approve of the holding down buttons tho!

    the movement.

    it's way better than gears 3, more fluid, better pace, and better feel.

    Annex with Execution rules and, of course, no sawed off or retro. I also loved that there was no TDM gametype.

    Multiplayer required skill. 2 player co op (4 doesn't fit in Gears). Dark gloomy atmosphere of the whole game. The multilayer maps are far better than in 3. Weapon balance, (pre TU6). Nearly everything...

    I enjoyed Horde when it was new. The campaign was also really fun.

    The thing i liked most about Gears 2 was Horde mode. From my first fumbling steps on public getting to wave 37 to beating all 50 waves after several hours of play with a team and getting a top score. It was the first game to consume the majority of my gaming time since Quake 3 Arena. Highly addictive, highly challenging and met some good friends playing it, Horde mode on Gears 2 was awesome and nothing else came close, not even Horde 2.0.

    I miss the maps and how there were no sawed offs and retro lancers, because the maps were just great and I HATE the sawed off and retro.
