Chainsaw = easy

I'd like to start by saying I don't usually complain about weapons in games being "NEWB" weapons. Back in "Gears of War I", I didn't complain about the chainsaw. Now in "Gears 2" the chainsaw is extreamly NEWB friendly, it almost can't be stoped. I thought "Gears of War I" was pretty balanced with the weapons system, but now everything is tiped in favor of the chainsaw bandits online. Well, maybe it'll get patched. :(
