Gears of War 2 Fixes Gears 1 Multiplayer Annoyances

Gears of War 1 is a great game, we love it. However, like most games, there were a few things that caused annoyance. Gears of War 2 fixes those issues. Cliff Bleszinski had this to say regarding the ‘annoyances’:

People loved it but they didn’t like the host advantage [in Gears 1 multiplayer]. They got tired of the shotgun inconsistencies. We’re fixing all of that. They didn’t like the randomness of the chainsaw, so we put the chainsaw duel in ? may the best man win! A lot of players wanted respawning, but we added in some modes for downloadable content on Gears 1 that added respawning, but even then it was a 15-second cue. So we have game modes now, like Guardian, where players cycle in and out a lot more often. And Wingman, which is kind of like our version of Last Man Standing Free-for-All, where you have five teams of two each. So it’s you and a buddy versus the world, which feels really good. We’ve added a lot more depth to the multiplayer.
