In my opinion nobody cared about winning games in Gear's 1's multiplayer. All they cared about were getting thier achievements. Kills were stolen regulary, and multiple teamates would often get killed rushing for a weapon they needed kills with.
There was little to no reward for acually working as a team and winning games. Players cared more about themselves then everyone else. In this game will people acually care about winning? Or will it be the same selfish play as last game.
Maybe to help the cause they could add an achievement like winning 200 games or somthing.
Gears of War 2
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Nov 07, 2008
Join Delta Squad once more in the fight against the Locust Horde, in this "bigger, better and more badass" sequel to the 2006 smash hit.
Are people acually going to care about winning multiplayer games?
"Sdodd412 said:Yes, and no. Tureskill is a behind the sense rank system that has little to do with your Military rank in games like Halo, but basically it pairs you up with people with similar Trueskill ranks as you."it's the true skill ranking thing.

Is that like in Halo where if your a general your put in games with other generals?"
I think there should be no multiplayer achievements at all. Look at Call of Duty 4, one of the most played multiplayer games and does not have a single achievement for multiplayer. I don't like the new system that Epic is placing though, with only one kill goes toward the achievement you are working for, counts per round.

Cod4 was critisised for not having achievements in the first place, but it ended up working out. I really do think the whole perk systems saved them though. It made people forget about achievements and gave them somthing to play for.

I have mixed feelings about the whole new achievement thing. In one sence if I guy sucks with sniper, but needs kills with it, then he wont be stealing it from the team every round. I think this will let players work as a team more. Hopfully
I just like getting kills fair and square. I never played much, but Warzone. I'm really not an "achievement whore".
Definitely the problem with the last one is that achievements were for getting kills with a certain gun, so you would always get some idiot in a match using nothing but grenades, he would run around like an idiot trying to stick people, but fail every round causing you to lose the match because his lack of teamwork.
What is worse than people being achievement junkies is quitters. You can't get into one ranked match without someone quitting in the first couple of rounds. It is really ridiculous.
First off, there will be achievements like in Gears 1, like getting 100 Boomshot kills, but you can only get 1 point towards it per match. So, even if you get 10 Boomshot kills, it will only count 1 towards your achievement. Second, there is going to be a party system. Lastly, there are rankings in Gears 1; check the leaderboards.
The way Gears 2 is doing multiplayer achievements now though is because of that shit most of you were talking about,so people don't just rush for weapons every game and go crazy the entire time,this way they can only get one,than they can either decide to leave the game(if thats all they're after) or play the game normally after that.
"Hulk played with and against plenty that wanted to win above all else, especially after everyone got their weapon achievements which didn't take long. Once Seriously was all puny humans had left they tried their best to win.Dude you make good points...but I can barly stand to read you post because of this annoying first person thing.

"Most of the basic games are sometimes achievement whores trying. When you play a 19 round raven down game, no one cares about achievements. However, the kill stealing for achievements thing is now very very rare"Ive heard that, now that everyone has them its good. If my disk wasnt so fucked up id go back and try to play again.
