Gears Of War 2 25XP All Week Right Before Gears 3

It seems that CliffyB and Rod Ferguson are keeping the 20xp in play, as gamers are reporting that they have been receiving the bonuses in attempts to get there wings. By doing the XP bonuses, many gamers have come back into playing Gears Of War 2, even if it is just on the weekends when the XP bonus is in effect

Makes me laugh the devs reward players with 25xp while they don't fix the game.

No thanks, ill wait for gow3.

And nice try to keep the game at top 10 most played games.

Death4619d ago

Yeah, they should abandon the game and stop supporting it. That would be a much better alternative. People are playing an older game that they already own. Doesn't this kind of increase the playability and give gamers more bang for the buck? Yet you bitch about it and make it sound bad that the game is being played.

Megaton4619d ago

They never supported the game, that's why it barely functions online. Boosting EXP is very shallow and cosmetic. "Supporting" would include fixes for nagging issues, something "lugia" mentioned in his post.

Death4619d ago

There's a pretty big differance between never supporting and not doing what you wanted them to do.

Shame on a company for trying to entice people to play their game and buy the sequel.

All companies should instead do ever gamer a favor by just hope nobody plays their game and abandon support.

Did you know people were actually asking for this and that is why they got it? If you don't like it, don't play it!

Pretty simple....

"while they don't fix the game. "

Gears of War 2s online has been fixed for 12 months lol. living in australia it was damn near unplayable for me for the first 12 months, but theyve slowly and surely ironed out all the bugs in the 6 title updates. they added region filtering, client side hit detection, etc etc, and as of TU6 it was running nigh on perfect. they even had dedicated servers running without telling anyone for testing for Gears 3.

Im playing Gears Of War 3 at the moment so I dont care about bonus xp in Gears 2 :P
But good for those that play Gears of war 2 still ;)

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies683d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638683d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72684d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337684d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever683d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad684d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds684d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

Neonridr817d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies817d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia818d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey602817d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian229817d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares818d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve818d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares818d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos817d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong817d ago (Edited 817d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard817d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1160d ago (Edited 1160d ago )

Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:

1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
