this game has blown me away just like the first and a good thing for me is it's no longer a run and gun! its a lot more tactical not rainbow six tactical its more realistic this way and there's eleven different executions which is pretty awesome they're all different and unique you wont be like that looked an awful like the last one i think there's 15-17 weapons and its greats lots of blood like always more fleshed out story there's more questions then answers but that can be a good thing I think i smell a trilogy I just hope it doesn't take two years but honestly i just want it to be even better then gears2 they have a lot of work to do if they plan to raise the bar yet a third time whats another good thing is get this there is COLOR! it's not a big ball of grey anymore but if you like run and gun they still got the normal stuff war zone execution and others they added guardian which is a slightly tweaked version of assassination as long as the leaders alive you can re spawn they have capture the flag finally but wait! it has an epic twist on it the flag is a shotgun wielding NPC and u drag him back to your spawn that's called submission then there's horde mode witch is pretty much survival mode 50 waves of horde 5 of your friends enough said a must by for the tactical percision gaming type and anyone who bought gears1 heck! anyone with an xbox360 should have this game if you dont like shooters whay have a 360
