    Campaign because of the hype about the story being better than GoW1's story

    I always try and get through the single player mode of a game before heading off to online, just my personal preference.

    Online; I'm looking forward to the campaign, but I've been playing Gears of War 1 in multiplayer since 2006. I'm too ready to jump into new maps and test out the new netcode.

    Lol, same. I'm just dying to finally play my favourite game with no/minimal lag, in a smooth and consistent experience. It's extremely tempting, but I still have to play the campaign first (at least one or two chapters). Get a feel of all the tweaks, then I can get working on that Seriously 2.0.  ;)

    Technically, playing the campaign is working on your Seriously 2.0. ;-)

    OMG! How could I forget that it's across everything now!? Too much school work is interfering with my Gears 2 addiction. I must drop out, I say!

    Anyway, I still have to play the campaign for a bit -- that's just how I've played every other game. Then I can enjoy the glory of online (or, find out how much of a nuisance those stickied-smoke-concussion grenades are).

    Campaign first; I've already got three friends ready for a four player cooperative play. I'm getting all the single-player achievements, all possible, first before touching the online play.

    I'll probably play though the campaign first. I really don't play online that much at all unless I'm with my friends.

    Campaign first probably.
    I suck at the GoW online so I'll probably avoid it all together for my own safety.

    Probably campaign on one difficulty at least once, then go online.
