I love it. I think some people maybe disappointed if they are trying to play it like a single player campaign. It is truly meant to be played in co-op with three other buds on hardcore with declassified missions. It is a hella rush to survive some of those missions. Its much faster paced which i'm sure thats what PCF was going after. I could see some getting disappointed just going through it in single player on normal but you really need to try this on 4 player co-op. The social aspect to the campaign is what separates the Gears and Halos from other games.

fun game. doesnt take itself too seriously. love the multiplayer-esque SP campaign.
It's not a campaign. It's a score attack/ horde mode hybrid with self contained defend-this-room game design.
Think that happens when an AI player is a wretch but I can't be too sure.

It could be said to all other gow games.
What? J campaign is very different from the others. Finished it last night. The story was terrible, but the game is still fun.
Its still a campaign. The environments are smaller then other Gears but there is less filler also. If the stats didn't come up it would seem more continuous cause there is still a brief in game cutscene between sections. It doesn't just send you back to a menu after you complete sections. They are telling the story in flashbacks. Now I agree its not a particularly great story but to me just because stats pop up and theres a scoring component doesn't mean its not a campaign.
I'm gonna be on Gears 3 a lot today

You guys are making me want to play gears 3 online again, I lack the last two map packs however and don't really want to play peer to peer.
The Declassified Mission on 5-3 (Upper State Street) on Hardcore is impossible.
I'm playing Solo atm, so if anyone wants to do it in co-op, send me a message. I'm HT UK on XBL

So lets hope gears judgement and 3 keep there populations up

I haven't finished the Aftermath campaign yet but it's night and day compared to the Judgment campaign. The complete lack of scoring makes it feel more like old Gears. It would have been a better compromise if People Can Fly made both campaigns playable in Story and Arcade modes. Of course, at that point Judgment's lack of story would be laid bare. You have to liken to to a L4D meets score attack experience because it certainly isn't reminiscent of any previous Gear's campaign.
Aftermath, on the other hand, could have been Gears 3 DLC and it would fit right in.

I'm up to the dusty, low visibility bit in the campaign.
What is this shit. Is this really all there is to it? There hasn't been any thought put into these encounters. It's just waves of random enemies. So boring.

I'm not sure why everybody hates this.
Campaign was a lot of fun.
Beating every map in survival was/is a lot of fun.
Overrun is a lot of fun.
I've never cared much for multiplayer in Gears, but I have played a few matches and they were somewhat fun.
I already have 21 hours played in this game since Tuesday and I've loved every single one.

So the general consensus is that this game's MP is mediocre right?
Where does it fit in this undeniably correct equation?
GOW 1 > 3 > 2

Quoted for motherfucking truth. I can't get enough of the campaign honestly. Gears 2 is still probably my favorite overall campaign but hot damn if Judgement isn't beating down its door. It almost feels like Gears of War: Arcade Edition and I love that.

That list is factually correct. Judgment is worse than Gears 2, so you can throw it in at the tail end of the equation.

If you still want to play co-op, I'm down. Have a few achievements to clean up before I send it off.

I dropped GoW2 after a week of play and your saying this is even worse? Damn.
Hopefully they have a promotion for additional credit if I trade it towards Bioshock. I'll try and be back on Gears 3 by tonight. Gotta grab a copy again. If anyone is down for some TDM then add me

This has a campaign in the same way that Left 4 Dead had a campaign. Only this one is perfectly playable solo, offers far more variety across the board, has more direct storytelling and has a very detailed scoring, ranking and progression system.
After three Gears games, its nice to get one that plays like a high octane "Best of", without all the forced slow walks and on rails sections.
When Gears 1 released, I joked around with friends about how it felt like a 3D Contra style game done right (this was before Vanquish of course), and listening to impressions, it seems they've finally taken it further in that direction instead of going deeper into story, for better or worse.
Now that really sounds like my kind of game. Especially as one of the last high profile exclusives. That and I liked what People can Fly did with Bulletstorm.

$33 on Amazon right now
Dedis still up ?
Played for the last few days and have about 50+ matches of MP and I've not had any lag, no problems with hit detection nor have the nades been over powered (Easy to bounce away from). Same thing for three of my other friends.
Seems like you are having connection issues.
If you're still having trouble,
in the second part, set the turret at the top of the stairs, grab the oneshot, and put it up on the little terrace thing to the left of the stairs. You can get two ragers with one shot as they climb out of the hole. Then use the one-shot for the maulers/grinders while your friends and turret deal with the ragers. After you're all out of oneshot ammo, go nuts with the Lancer.
That was the one I had trouble with, too, so you're not alone!

If you are trading it in towards a game like bioshock and have power up pro card you will get 40% on it so it will be total 42$.
Holy shit they went fast. Nice of you to post them up.

I guess you were in a coma back then, huh.
That game didn't function until the fourth title update. Judgement is so far away from what Gears should be. The mechanics and presentation are sloppy and the overall design is careless.
