Should there be an option of a 'Shotgun Only' Game from the Multiplayer playlist? For the more experienced Gears maybe???? I think so....

you talk about gears 1 when it first came out...the game was perfect...minus a few glitches here and there...but then epic decided to fix those glitches...and along with those glitches they tweaked weapons...with every update more tweaks came...eventually the game became to unbearable for me and my friends and probably most true gears fans...gears 1 used to be the number 1 game i played...at first it was 10 times better then halo...but epic didnt want to keep that...these updates eventually made it to where gears 1 was horrible....i was so excited when gears 2 came out...i played it and i thought....well ive lost my touch with the game but i easily can pick it back up...which i did...but now epic is going down the same road with gears 2...more updates...cheaper weapons...i dont know why epic is trying to attract so many new gamers by making the shotgun worse...if this is truly a money thing...then they are going about it all wrong...dumb down all the things that make a shotgunner frustrated...make the melee less effective...i mean is it just me or these huge bulky guys with all this damn armor are really flinchy when it comes to getting elbowed...i know that they are getting hit by a bulky guy with huge armor...but come on look at them...they can absorb that hit without flinching...also the chainsaw?....why so powerful?...there is a vacuum with that thing...you get within 15 feet of anyone with a chainsaw revved...no mater where they are looking you get sucked in to it...there is no escape...also the chainsaw revs up so fast...you can tap b when near someone and and it will chainsaw them...also when someone is chainsawing and you shot them right in the face or chest, they walk through it and get you...it used to be that they flinched when shot...now it seems like there superman

define 'Shotgun Only', if you mean just shotgunning and no melees or smokes...then hell yeah but if you want to keep the 2-piece in there then why bother

Well I think epic really messed up, but they did the anniversary thing just to look how things develop... so the ones that really messed up, are all the noobs that just like to lancer all around and have no skill to do anything else, and also try to all things possible to make the game easier... human race likes easy things ... and now how Gears of war 2 is up... thing are easy to noobs .. and us the real fans and the real gamers are really dissapointed with this thing epic made, but I will not wine, I will just adjust my game to how it is now and kill you all noobs, so then u will say ... damn the game is not as easy as I thought... just to remind everyone ... GOW2 is a bad game now ... sorry ...
