Gearheads of War

I didn't want to start up a fight, I just wanted Mel's side of the argument, that's all.  I think it's cool how he always has the other side of the argument, and to be honest, he backs it up quite well.  You kids need to settle down, it's still friendly arguing.  ANYWAYS... you say Gears mp is broken, but what's your explanation as to why it has become more played than Halo (I mean numbers right now or whatever, don't argue about time, I know Halo overall has more playing time), and don't just tell me graphics or because it's new because that's obviously not it.  You know there's gotta be something with the mp gameplay that is extremely satisfying.
