In Response To: Re: There's pie in that thar sky (Captain Spark)


: I have Gears of War but I've never tried the co-op on Live yet. What concerns
: me is getting into a sticky situation and having your co-op partner quit
: on you when you need them. That's my main concern without knowing any more
: about on line co-op. I assume it plays just like sitting at home playing
: with a co-op partner?

There are two flavors of online co-op with Gears: the "public" and the "private." The "public" is when you allow anyone to join your co-op game and, in my opinion, defeats the spirit of co-op. The "private," through an automatic private chat feature, brings it very close to the "same screen, same couch" kind of co-op that I remember from Halo 1. I suggest trying it sometime, if you can get a friend to try it with you.

: I didn't think of that but that sounds good. There are times when, like you,
: blowing up a Ghost is quite fun. I guess I'm Halo 1 old school but I loved
: blasting those vehicles into uncharted areas.

I know exactly what you mean -- which is why I suggested it as an unlockable option. It allows the developers the peace of mind of knowing that at least the first play-through is as they originally designed, while allowing the players to choose which kind of fun they'd like (after the first run-through).

: Your description is right on the mark

Thank you!

: It can be fun to arm Johnson with a Needler and watch him go to town on the
: enemies.

I'll have to try that, sometime....

: I also watched Johnson get tagged with 4 plasma grenades on his right foot by
: a group of Grunts, all 4 plasma grenades exploded at the exact same time,
: I had the Sputnik skull activated. The explosion shot him straight up so
: high that he was just a small spot on the screen, he was screaming all the
: way down and I nearly wet myself laughing. I wish I would have recorded
: that.

Damn, that sounds awesome and hilarious!

Why is it all the best moments in gameplay go unrecorded?

: I like your boss battle much better.

Thank you again, kind sir!
