I'd say.

The gameplay is as good as the graphics for me. I love the cover-firefights in Ghost Recon 3, but my only complaint of it in that game is that it's too clunky, and the Gears of War videos show it's really smooth and fast.
 
Plus, I'm betting you haven't even played the game yet, so don't know how you can knock it :confused:
 
People raved about it after seeing and playing it at E3, that's what matters most as of now.
 
Didn't really mean you WHF....I didn't understand how someone could say the gameplay is ******ed when the closest they have come to the game is on a pc monitor.

Oh, I know. I guess it does kind of look like I was directly responding to you there. I guess I should have used the edit button instead of making a new post.

A little backstory on the heroes...(pictures were taken using in-game engine)

-----------------------

Marcus Fenix

Son of the famed military scientist Adam Fenix, Marcus established a reputation as a brilliant soldier during the Pendulum Wars, earning numerous field promotions and decorations. He was on a fast track to an outstanding military career until the war with the Locust Horde.
When the Horde breached Jacinto Plateau's defenses, Marcus defied orders to save his father, who was under siege at East Barricade Academy. He was too late. Marcus was charged with dereliction of duty and was sentenced to 40 years in Jacinto Maximum Security Penitentiary.

Four years into his sentence, the Horde overtook the penitentiary but Marcus was rescued by his best friend Dominic Santiago, so that he could rejoin the fight against the unstoppable Locust Horde.

--------------------
Dominic Santiago

Dom is a vocal, colorful and yet practical soldier. He's loyal to a fault, especially with his friends, and has no patience for those that think of themselves first.

Dominic has always believed in his country and his leaders, but his faith has been slipping in the face of this endless war. Dom lost his wife in the Emergence Day cataclysm. For him, the fight against the Horde is deeply personal.

By testifying in Marcus' defense, Dom prevented an execution, but was forced to accept the heavy judgment the military tribunal handed down to his childhood friend. Never forgetting, Dom seized his first opportunity to save Marcus' life, and convinced Lieutenant Minh Young Kim to enlist Marcus into his squad.

--------------------
Minh Young Kim

Lieutenant Kim is a proud, dedicated and ambitious soldier, a by-the-books believer in all things COG. To Kim, the Coalition of Organized Governments is humanity's only hope for survival and feels that it is an honor and privilege to serve as a Gear.

Kim moved quickly through the ranks, but after a run of bad luck he was left leading the misfits of Delta Squad. Feeling undervalued and overlooked, Kim has something to prove.

Only the strength of Dom's faith -- and the scarcity of experienced soldiers - convinced Kim to consider bringing former prisoner Fenix into his squad.

------------------
Augustus Cole

Cole, aka "The Cole Train", is an adrenaline junkie and former professional thrashball player. He craves action, and prefers to take the most direct path to the Locust Horde in any situation. What he lacks in finesse, he makes up for in raw energy.

Along with his child-like enthusiasm and charm, Cole is supremely confident in his own abilities to overcome anything, regardless of the odds—and he hasn't been proven wrong yet.

Cole and Damon Baird have served together for years, and he treats Baird as he would an older brother with a younger brother's license to torment.

------------------
Damon Baird

Despite being a reluctant and cynical soldier, Baird excels at the military life. Baird is perfectly capable of being a successful officer, but has never been promoted due to his poor attitude, short temper and his unwillingness to take on any responsibility.

Baird's greatest strength is his intelligence. He not only fights the Locust, but he studies and observes them as well. He's the closest the COG have to an expert, and when Baird tells his comrades to be quiet and listen, they know it is in their best interest to do exactly that.

Baird's only motivation is self preservation. He's willing to do whatever it takes to get through the war alive -- even march along side a troublemaker like Fenix.

The only thing I don't like about this game is Marcus Fenix's "Hitler Beard" or "Soul Patch".
 
I can't wait to play the multiplayer in this game. You can only have up to two people if you're playing the story mode, right?
 
Awesome Gams. I love that they're going to add depth to all these characters. It'll add to the story if they help build them up throughout the game. Lately I've been thinking that games have been focusing on just one or two characters and that a war game that personalizes a whole squad of people would be awesome. When somebody fell on the battlefield it'd be a lot more tragic and add more to the story. I can't wait for this game though, I'm REALLY REALLY looking forward to it.
 
Thanks Gams, awesome.


so which one is gonna die and which one is gonna be the traitor? :p


But seriously does anyone else think it was ******ed of the military to put an awesome, effective soldier in the brig? They learned their lesson!

I can't wait for this :up:

I wonder if there will be any vehicular activity?

THIS IS ONE EXAMPLE OF WHY THIS GAME WILL OWN ALL OTHERS. :dry:
