And I HATE Mortal Kombat... MK sucks, case closed I like Gears for many reasons. I like the combat system primarily. For someone who likes FPS... I honestly don't see why you don't like GoW!!! I know it's just your opinion... but... I love the game so damn much! I played sooooo much back in the day... I was in the top 1000 for the week. The game is so fun, even when I'm loosing my ass... as... it gets shot off. Anyway. I like the rodi run, cant shoot while doing it... that makes it fair. I like the roll system. the cover system, the blind shot system. It's the perfect "yang" to my Unreal Tournament "yin" I... absolutely despise Halo. Hate hate hate. To me it's a childs game. 'Lil 8 year olds should play this tripe. I'm an Unreal Tournament fan. Fast paced furious combat on a DBZ pace. Halo 1 was quaint. But I didn't like 2 at all. 3 came out, and I played alittle. I actually liked it somewhat... but, it always feels lke your walking everywhere. Slooooow gameplay. I didn't get to mess around with 3 much, so I don't know if I think it's good or bad. But... Im sick of children jizzing their pants over Halo... when UT absolutely destroys it. I played UT3 and it doesn't feel like the old UT'99... but it great fun none the less. But "EPIC" made Gears... and that is the shit. The Halo Murderer. Honestly I don't like Mortal Kombat or halo (any of them) either. I'm more of a Battlefield or Rainbow Six player. I have Unreal tournament 3 and love it too!
