After Tigger, thoughts please on what shooter you will play and why. I am undecided...and I have played all three games spending hundreds of hours.

Two, maybe three big shooters are coming out this Fall: R:FOM 2, GOW2 and COD5.

1. Resistance -

Positive: Awesome maps, huge multiplayer support, great team play, solid servers, great feel with multiple weapons and incredible support from Insomniac. A no brainer for PS3 only users.

Negative: Poor cover which supports gun n' run enthusiasts. The 25 bullet carbine dance for one kill. (My pet peeve)

2. Gears -

Positive: Equal to Resistance in Sci-fi imagination, great weapons and feel, great graphics, and best cover system from enemy fire. Perhaps best cinematic set designs of all three games. It feels like a movie experience. A no brainer for 360 only users.

Negative: Smaller multiplayer support...maybe smaller server support?

3. COD5 -

Positive: Photo-realism (makes Tigger look like an old arcade game). Multi-platform, really huge multi-player...may be equal to or better than COD4.

Unlike the Resistance carbine, the M16 works like a real gun...you get shot...you bleed to death or die.

Negatives: With COD4...frags, frags and frags.

No need to learn multiple weapon systems...like an Resistance auger or a Gears torque bow. It's pure pistols and rifles...well...they added a flamethrower in COD5 as they did with Gears...something which Resistance had from the start...or something like it.

It has been so long.

For me it will be R2, Gears and prob Far Cry 2 ..... Hop has COD5 pre-ordered and I will wait for his review before considering that one.....

Uhhhhhhh I'm gonna go with R2.

8 player online drop-in/drop-out co-op with its own story, campaign with its own story and 60p online.

Great servers and Insomniac are just down-to-earth developers who play with regular players and always respond to comment/criticims on their forums. Already tired of golf...puts me to sleep. As for your "pet peeve" in the first Resistance, unless they make some changes you won't need as many bullets to kill someone. It still takes more than COD or RB6 (have no idea how many bullets it takes to kill in Gears), but, it wasn't as many as the first game when playing the private beta. Personally, I prefer it taking more bullets to kill...takes more skill IMO and helps limit camping. A better player can turn around and still get the kill based on his skill rather than being taken out in a couple of shots like other shooters I've played.

I'm rambling.

I removed the ramble...but thanks for the bullet damage update.

1. 8 player co-op? Dang!

2. Yep. It seems that Insomniac is filled with real gamers who actually like to play the game and make it work.

I may borrow the PS3 I gave to my oldest son...for just a little bit of time. Ya know...he's real busy with college, real hockey and a bunch of other stuff. The PS3 may be just a little dusty. He does own a PSP.

I don't usually drink shooters after golf but if I had to pick one it would probably be tequila

I'll be buying R2 and Call of Duty on day one. Plus LBP in a few weeks
