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?

1.1 - To summarise..

"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?

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.

3 - i think GOW online rules

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.

5 - agree

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.

8 - I have both

Both games are great online. I think it's stupid to compare the two because they are really very different games. GOW is more of a strategy based game like Counter Strike and COD3 is more run-n-gun like Battlefield. Obviously each game will have it's appeal to different audiences.

9 - IMO

These two games are both great off and on-line, I can't decide which to play each night. GoW seems to be getting the most plays at the moment but, I'll go back to COD3 at some point.

JUST BUY BOTH!

I have to disagree with the people saying CTF wouldnt work on Gears. i think it would, and I was disappointed it wasnt included in the game. At first I hated the online because theres no respawn, but, now Im really growing to like it. Although, agreed, they need to add slayer. Sometimes you dont want to beon a team and just want to kill veryone in sight!!! And, the melee with the frag grenades is a bit annoying. There doesnt seem to be any getting away from it.
COD3 is great too, but, deoesnt exactly bring anything new to the genre. Which is good too, it wasnt broke so they didnt fix it. War rules!!! You cant really compare them, theyre very different games. So yeah, as unleash bass said, just buy both.

One thing that is p*ssing me off about Gears though is online co-op. I just cant join a game. Anyone else having problems with the online co-op???????
