Gears of War 2......Another cult game??

There Are many games out there in production that people have already made their minds up about buying for instance because of the incredible fan base halo has grown over the years the next game, Halo Wars is going to fly off the shelf.....Even if it is a terrible game it will get rave reviews because people don't want to upset the 2-3 million die hard fans that patiently await its arrival, don't get me wrong they make a pretty good series but the creators ruined the last game to improve its online capabilities. Did it work? NO! People enjoyed it for a few weeks then the mighty Gears of War took back its place at the top of Xbox Live's Most played online game. So what happens if the Gears of War creators decide to focus on the online features instead of a classic story will it keep the same die hard fans of the story line? or just sell out to the online gamers, dont get me wrong I like to play a bit on Xbox live now and again but nothing beats a good story line. I know there will be so many haters of this but I would like them to spend a little more time on the story and a little less online because personally Halo 3 ended stupidly and I really hope Gears doesn't. I will buy Gears 2 for the story and I hope people wont try to please everyone by being fake and agreeing Halo 3 was the most amazing game ever, and try to be honest about what you really thought.
