You guys are cranky today. The first game was a very entertaining single player game, that was quite nice to look at. It had a multiplayer mode that kept me playing for months. Would I pay $60 for gameplay refinements and some new maps to an already fun multiplayer experience? Fuck yeah I would. Same way you would for Starcraft 2.
This was the first multiplayer game I played that had multiple rounds and when you're dead, you stay dead. I guess counter strike pioneered that, but I never really got into it. I really liked how the multiplayer mechanics encouraged teamwork. It seemed easy to cooperate, even in pubs. Teamwork seemed more necesary than, say, Halo 3 where 1 good player could win a game of team slayer when everyone else on their team sucked. It was good times, and very well implemented (host and lag issues aside...)
Anyway, quit yer bitchin, the original was fun. This will be too. You all expect too much.

Multiplayer was the same, very generic.
GoW2 seems so far to be just more of the same with very little evolution of the gameplay.
Much like all console franchises.
