Gears vs CoD3: Xbox Live Reviews

Xbox Live veterans know that even the greatest of games can be an online failure if the servers are inadequate - the original Live iteration of Call of Duty 2 on Xbox Live was a nightmare until a patch was released that made it one of the 'must play' games on the service.

Gears of War is already one of the biggest and most successful games of the year, but how does it fare on Xbox Live? What about Call of Duty 3 too?

I'll be playing COD3 far more online than GOW.

Das is't fantastik.

Capt CHAOS6383d ago

"However, Gears longevity is sure to be guaranteed by its multiplayer modes t.."
Yeah, wishfull thinking.. what modes?

"However, those who are expecting a revolution in the shooter genre will be slightly disappointed."
Ok, you understand now.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great game, but seriously, no CTF? And other objective modes?

Marriot VP6383d ago

capt, a Gears patch is already being made. Yah I don't like patches but I can't refuse it.

and this game wouldn't work with CTF. Now slayer where you respawn multiple times is something I'd like to see.

Capt CHAOS6383d ago

Anything to get the frenzy level up just a tad :->

FKN Unbelievable6383d ago

Personally i don't like capture the flag.
but i want Would multiple spawn setting at least 5 piece since the games can belong. 8 player option and a Rumble pit,And Random playlist like halo. Believe it or not i have yes to experience any lag on GOW. Maybe a Character movement studder but no lag amazingly.

willymcd6383d ago

you don't need the multiple spawns cause you have multiple rounds in each match. i never feel like i am waiting to long for a round to be over with either. I don't think having multiple lives or spawns would work with the dynamics of the game, but you never know, it may make it even better. frankly GOW is the most fun i have online, better then halo 2 online in my opinion.

One thing that i would like to have changed is how when you are stuck with a grenade and you blow up the guy who stuck you it counts as a suicide to him. I think that once the grenade is stuck in you, you become the weapon and who ever you get close to and dies should count as your kill, and of course the guy who stuck you get a kill to.

FirstknighT6383d ago

I personally love GOW online, but also will be playing alot of Rainbow Vegas! I'm skipping COD3!

Boink6383d ago

CTF wouldn't work with gears at all.

a slayer version would be awesome, with respawns and a race to say 15-20 kills. also a last man standing type of slayer.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756118d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00118d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic118d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica118d ago (Edited 118d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack119d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing119d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic118d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos119d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin119d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris119d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine118d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz119d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin123d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack123d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69123d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07123d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn123d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid123d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog123d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992123d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
