Gears of War 2 is regularly filled with chainsawing, two piecing, tea bagging noobs. So, these noobs now have Gears of War 2, and they here that gears of War 1 was good so they get that. Of course they have to bring these bullshit strategies to Gears 1. So now a game that was filled with MLG worthy shotgunners and snipers is filled with the same shitty people that tea bag you every time they kill you (probably because they are surprised they ACTUALLY GOT A KILL). I got called a noob IN A PUBLIC GAME (not ranked) for screwing around and team killing and not trying because it doesn't do anything for your stats. Is anyone else sick of this shit?

everything what I can say about it, is: AMEN !
I totaly agree with you, I loved the first 2 or 3 month after GoW 2 was released. Cause at this time GoW 1 was a game where only skilled players were still playing. And after this 2-3 month, the horror starts with the 'I played the Gears 2, so I'm a beast in Gears 1' guys.

I usually play the Dark Corners maps and I rarely have problems with "noobs" anymore(They don't have the money to buy the new maps). Everyone is a level 40 on up. But when I play execution/warzone, there are always at least 2 people playing with a low level. Dunno, then again I'm always playing with my buds and we're on party chat

Edit: Figures, sorry for the double post

well just because it isn't ranked, doesn't mean people dont' want to play well, i never play ranked, but i still want to get the achievements, they might be like that. also it should be noted that public matches are a good way to get better at the game so they can get better at ranked matches, you don't get better if you just play with people who don't give a shit. you have to play against people who are trying to play well.
