In Gears of War its the same thing if you're playing against anyone who's half decent. You can run in and get a tag, sometimes getting away (but most of the time you'll blow up) and beyond that its just whoever's quicker with a shotgun.
oh i know this. if your team moves fast.... not halo 2 fast, but i mean running up to cover, peeking and moving right away, it can be done. im by no means saying you can run head on and take people down.
if youve played 2 multiplayer, get the 3rd, its leaps and bounds better multiplayer wise. if you dont have multiplayer, dont bother, single is the same if not worse. but multiplayer is amazing and makes the 2nd one look like childs play
