Right what's the deal with gears 1, do you guys still play it?

I've missed the banter and am close to picking up a cheap 360 and a copy of gears

So you know who you all are let me know the deal.

So all the usual lot will start banging it out then?

I reckon all you need is some good games, and forget about all that public ranked crap.

Old skool private amtches, no one cares about stats and achievements yeah.

The pc is dead for online

Si your garbage compared to me, but yeah you were the best out of the usual suspects but they were even more garbage

And yeah I need to get back on live for some banter.

The last time I played gears 2 there was about as much atmosphere as a morgue.

I've only just realised nVIDIA is Jay, wondered where you'd got to mate

As always still think old school Gears is the best online game yet, you should defiantely get the BF:BC2 demo downloaded while it's still live though as that's pretty damn good!

Oh and great games the other night fellas, look forward to the next ones.

definetly they should come with a government warning ' kids will seriously damage your gaming life'

My youngest is 11 months old now and I've just started playing regularly again! Funnily enough my 3 year old has just discovered Lego Indy - he doesn't know exactly what to do - he just runs around hitting things and collecting coins - much like me and Gears but with less hitting...........

Back to the topic....... welcome back jay..................top one 'unhred!

I was playing Far Cry 2 the other night I'll have you know. Must admit, had a few games of MW2 this evening and really couldn't get into it. Is the love wearing off now? I think I'm gonna download the rest of the fallout 3 dlc and hit that soon. Far Cry has given me the taste for the wastelands again

not me, i played execution from the start, only times i played warzone was in the tournys we had or to get the ranked pistol kills, in fact it was my idea to have the 5 second rule on execution because any longer made it like warzone.

It was definately warzone in the beginning, or was it all the seperate lobbies back in the day that had us playing different modes(ah, gone are the days of 2-3 full gears lobbies every night)?

Certainly remember the switch over to Execution after the majority of us got sick of Warzone and the host lancer(not to mention the distant battles became boring and way less fun than close up shotty battles which became our staple diet).

Yeah got one, got a special one for 40quid

Had to buy a power supply and harddrive though.
