First off i will like you to understand that this is my opinion.
Multiplayer: In gears of war 2 the multiplayer was great except for one reason. HOST.That means someone in the lobby will Host the match meaning that he had more life, and a better hit detection because your playing on his connection. So if you and the host shot each other with the gnasher he would ALWAYS win because his bullets will hit you first and therefore your bullets will cancel because you would have been dead. In gears of war 3 dedicated servers fixed that. Everyone had a even chance of winning. But then they brought the double barrel. I remember that gnasher was really good when you knew how to use it. But wallbnouncing with gnasher is pretty much pointless now. And i know must of yall will say " well just use a lancer and dont get too close to him" i know and do that. But when your the last one you cant stop all of them using a lancer which is why i used to wallbounce with a gnasher in gears of war 2. That's pretty much the only complaint I got for Gears of war 3 multiplayer.

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE STORY MODE Story mode: This is where i was severely disappointed. First let's start with the deaths. I remember Tia death,Carmine death, Maria death. The only death i really remember in gears of war 3 is dom's. But everyone knew he was going to die. Now despite marcus reaction to his father death it still was not that rememberable.Same with Chairman Prescott. We barely knew both of them . And i also expected a lot more deaths in the game. I also felt that their was no character development for jace or sam. I understand that they were just included in the game but the didn't have any part in the game at all. We could have played the game without them. Also where is carmine the whole time? In gears 1&2 he was with us all the time. Thats one reason i don't ever pick carmine in multiplayer. I can't even tell the difference between him and a regular cog gear. And the story mode gameplay wasn't all that compelling to me. I remember all the moments in gears of war 2. I remember when we had train carmine. We helped Tai in the hospital. When we fought that HUGE water creature. When we we running away from the debris when we were in the worms stomach. When we were investigating that abandon research facility. When we were riding on reavers in the locust tunnel trying to escape skorge.When we had that inspirational speech by Chairman Prescott.
When we had to fight off reavers while we were riding on betty. And so much more. The only thing i really remember gears of war 3 is when you have to fight the lambent berserker. And the last level boss. Also hated that adam fenix had a **** machine that can get rid of both the locust and lambent.
