Boo Gas, COD is by far the best.. Epic cant even make a sequal to play right without a 100 patches. I loved GOW1, but thought GOW2 would have been tweaked to perfection.... WRONG. They bombed on this game bad.. If I was Epic id feel like shit. This game should of been the best, instead COD World at War is ahead, and its not even a Modern Warfare title. I would have traded in GOW2 for GTA myself. Besides COD is so much smoother then GOW2.. GOW2 is a lagfest, anyone can win with luck. COD you actually have to have some aiming skill.
Everything you said is true.. Besides the fact how Gears is worse then COD4.. Yeah, Gears has TONS of problems with it.. It lags, the host is always overpowered, the ranking system sucks, each patch released makes it 100x worse then before and dumbs it down 100x, they release a new patch every few weeks, i really could go on.. Gears 2 was a hella good game the first month it was released, no lag, no nothing.. Then after that first patch it went down hill.. And each patch after that it got dumbed down and laggier.. When Gears Of War 2 does play right it's shittin all over COD4 imo..
I honestly don't see whats so special about COD4, besides the ranking system which is coo... But i think Rainbow Six Vegas 2 plays better and has almost the same ranking/leveling up system as COD4 does..
GTA4 is also a hella good game.. I wish it's online ended up bein as fun as its single player campaign tho.
Red Faction is shittin on all of 'em tho lol..
