Gears 2 burnout

Well, the shittiness that is Gears 2 multiplayer is really starting to wear. It sucks, because all Epic needs to do is fix a handful of things. First off, the chainsaw needs to be for camping and coming up from behind only. One shot should down its revving and you should be able to deflect it with any weapon. Being able to run into battle revving a chainsaw and surviving is just a joke. Second, smoke grenades should stun briefly. Not knock you down to the ground. Grenades that are pinned to the wall needs to be majorly ungimped. Have there be a way to take them off walls or make them be duds 50% of the time, anything. And there's the final issue with lag, which is probably only caused because of the ridiculous graphics in the game. I've always advocated gameplay over graphics. If I wanted to see in perfect clarity, I'll go outside.

So, what I'm doing is playing until I'm sick of the game, playing a little bit more, and then taking a break. I'm getting to 680k, 10% of the way there, then breaking out The Darkness and finishing up a few other games in my backlog. Ultimately, I want to spend 3.5 weeks on, 1 off. That'll put me at level 100 in... 10 months. fuck.
