Agreed!
But it made a lot of money.
So game developers are still trying to oversize weapons/characters, use annoying cover systems, and bleach everything in the game red.

Also, I lol'd at that last Sim's screen.

Can't wait to get it for my laptop.

Look up a game called Kill Switch, and you'll find the game that pioneered the cover system for the most part. There's also a game called Ghost Hunter for the PS2 that used a very primitive cover system, along with the whole "stop and pop" style of gameplay.

I agree, Gears of War isn't that great.

But I will say (Since I own Ps3 not Xbox360) honestly.

Halo 3 < GoW.

Halo in general is just boring. I guess #1 was okay. While #2 being...nothing special, #3 was just boring in my opinion.

LOL GET IT?

If there is one thing I realized over the past several months; is that life is a very short experience, and it shouldn't be wasted avoiding opportunities, and instead of allowing minuscule things getting you down, you should smile and tip your hat, and accept any outcome, good or bad.

sh** arguement :
"please post screenies of a previous game that used similar graphics(UT3) and system"

How is using the UT3 engine innovative?
Do you seriously think that every 3rd person game with a cover system
is a GoW rip-off?
Ever played 2003's Kill.Switch?
(too tired to dig deeper)
Don't get me wrong, I've finished GoW2 and enjoyed it, but it
was still a linear Halo'ish shooter with flashy UT3 visuals...

In the game, you shoot things.

In the game, you shoot aliens.

In the game, your health regenerates automatically if you dont take damage for awhile.

There is online co-op.

Theres probably more, but I've never played it.

Originality doesn't = graphics. Try again.

Halo 3 is the best of the trilogy and is much better than GoW. More people play it too, so there is my proof.
