Why did it have to end so soon :(

Just got Gears Of War the other day, played the whole campaign through on co-op with my mate over x-box live.

Firstly I would have to say I cant imagine playing it solo, so much fun playing it through with two people and getting your tactics right. Secondly, the graphics amazed me, I was contantly sat there saying "omg the graphics are immense" which is great I loved this game.

But I think the problem I had and that a lot of people had is that the game seemed way to short. Especially the last 2 chapters, they didnt last long at all

Anyone know if they plan on bringing out more chapters? And is it really worth playing through again on harder difficulty?

should have spread it over a longer period of time, the you wouldn't have finished it so quickly

Would have finished it earlier if my mate hadnt had arguments with his GF...

But its addictive, I couldnt put it down and say "no more till tomorrow" until I was too tired to go on, and theres no way i could only play X hours a day.

Regardless of how long it lasted I still had a LOT of fun playing the campaign, I think probably I'll play it through on the harder difficulty with my mate hosting it instead of me and get the opposite routes where you get the choice.

Whats the extra content on xbox live? are they worth purchasing?

I was glad it was short as I found it extremely boring and repetetive.

I can imagine I may have done if I was playing it solo... Did you try co-op? If not I definitley recommend it.

No to be fair I didn't. I would give it a go but I think ill be trading it in this Friday.

I guess it wont be as much fun as you've already played it through And a good thing is that its got a good trade-in value

I see they are releasing a new gametype soon called annex... Sounds good

Is there a reward for getting x amount of cog tags, obviously my second run through i'd like to collect all of these. One thing aboug co-op is you dont hare the cog tag count, so either of you can only have half or one has them all =/

Filling them up with useless FMV.....

True...

id rather me ps3 save its cpu+gpu power not having to decompress textures etc .

You seem to be missing the point of texture compression, its designed to save memory bandwidth not disk space.

Please dont argue about blu-ray in my lovely GOW topic

I think its probably right, I mean every game has to get to a certain point where they say "thats enough" there is always more tweaknig and extra stuff can be added, maybe they spent too much time (budget) on the graphics and didnt have time to code half of the levels... Looking at it, I would still prefer it this way, the graphics gave it that wow factor.

Hopefully this new game type will be fun, the multiplayer, which is usually the longest playable part of games these days it a little off, weapon balance is all over the shop imo. But its still quite fun, I need to learn the maps
