	Somebody could have guessed that Gears of War would dethrone Halo 2 as the most played game on XBOX Live, but I don't think anybody thought it would happen this quickly. Yup, that's right, just a week after it's release Gears of War is the most played game on XBOX Live, even if you're looking at both original and 360 titles. Congrats Epic. >Link

wow i did not expect that.

i did. its a great game that i like better than halo

playing gears on insane now, your pretty much dead with 3 bullets.

Gears of War is so fun to play and so fun to be a part of because it has the best graphics ever used in a videogame, along with the best gameplay.

I love playing the Co-Op online mode with my friends, so we can go through the Story Camapaign together and try to beat the game as a team.

I like playing the multiplayer mode a lot, too! Being able to choose what you look like and being able to be a Locust is very cool, because those locusts just look wonderful!

i appreciate halo's gameplay and multiplayer better than gears personally. dont get me wrong Gears is great and ill be playing it for awhile. But i dont have the same attatchment to Gears of War online as i did with Halo 2 online. I havent tried online Co-op. Does anybody know how long it takes to find someone to play co-op with you?

my favorite character to play as is Baird.

More maturity with Gears of war also, you actually have to work together to beat the other team, rather than dealing with nitwits over the mike

Nothing like bonding love

GEARS RULES!!!!

Response to Fishcake21,

I noticed that right away, too. Gears of War uses a lot of teamwork style gameplay that is based on strategy and slower paced thought...sometimes it is even best for a team to have the attitude, "Let's wait for them to come to us," in certain spots when the odds are against you. I have actually added several Friends while playing Gears of War. There are a lot of nice people to play with.

Response to otoole,

The best way for you to play an Online Co-Op game of Gears of War, or any game for that matter, is to Invite one of your current friends to play with you in a game that you Host.

Online Co-Op where two people work together is a much more personal thing than when you are playing with dozens of people at the same time; usually you want to play it with someone you enjoy talking with and playing with.

If you need more friends, just go online and play a multiplayer one, and introduce yourself to people. Then, add them to your Friend list and your Xbox 360 will tell you when they are online. All you need to do then is use your Xbox 360 to either write them a text message or record a voice message that asks them if they want to play with you.

I have so many friends that I just do it that way. I will look into your question today, and I will write back by tomorrow with some new suggestions for you, just in case you don't have and Friends in your Dashboard menu.

i'll figure it out. thanks for the response.
