    It's obvious she wanted them to sink Jacinto, she didn't try all that hard to keep them from doing so, and she evacuated the stronghold (I would assume, short of the Lambent). Now the humans have no more strongholds.

    But you've forgotten that only some cities have been sunk, the ones arounf Jacinto. Jacinto was the last place, but there are still other cities with no people in them.

    And at the end she like "ya, good job sinking Jacinto, yeah"

    Well, we'll see what happens in Gears 3. It's pretty much inevitable now. But I am not worried about that right now. I am going to love Number Two forever!

    I did.... it was moderately weird. All he did was say, "What have you done?" Basically, hes still alive and now its obvious the queen tricked them...

    Yes, I heard that too. That was the biggest clue to a Gears 3.
    Sounds like he's alive... and from what I heard in the campaign, he might have worked with the Horde.

    Possibly final boss, killing Marcus' dad?

    I doubt he'll be a boss, but he'll definitely have a big role in Gears 3.

    I agree, and you know what. Nothing is ever mentioned of his mother. Perhaps she is something big in the game we haven't figured out. And since it seems Adam and the queen were talking during that time they had the computers, I wouldn't dobut Marcus' mom had something to do with the queen.

    ******,im only 12. Ill be 14 when they make tehs new game.



    At the end of the game the locust queen is like "everyone leaves behind legacy's, but sometimes one legacy's was not intended to be left behind" or something like that.

    This could mean one of 2 things. Either marcus owned the locust or marcus epically failed in and crippled the humans even more than they already were.

    But like all good movies and games(excluding Star wars) it will have a happy ending.
    But for which side is what i wonder.

    Who said it was about you?

    Anyways, yeah. Now that I think about it almost all games come out and have the good guys win. Now, Gears can be/is different. Who knows, Marcus may have just eliminated the Human's chance of survival. That is a really good thought Ting.

    I've always wondered, is there still Earth? because I've heard that if the locus won, Humanity would be extinct. If Earth was still there, and most likely still populated, then that is a lie.

    The Plot

    Gears of War 2 takes place six months after the detonation of the Lightmass Bomb at the end of the first game. Though most of the Locust Horde was destroyed, the explosion also caused much of the liquid Imulsion underground to vaporize, causing a fatal disease called "Rust Lung" to spread among the diminished human population. After months of peace, the cities of Tollen and Montevado suddenly and mysteriously disappear underground, leading the COG to suspect the resurgence of the Locust. Soon after, the once impenetrable Jacinto Plateau, one of the last remaining safe havens for humans, begins to show signs that the same fate awaits it. In order to stop the fall of Jacinto, the COG responds with a large-scale counteroffensive against the Locust. Senior Producer Rod Fergusson says "In order to save Jacinto, [the COG] have no choice but to take the war to the Locust."Comic book writer Joshua Ortega says" The stakes are raised. This is humanity's last stand. Everything is at risk. Nothing is safe."

    Game Modes -


    1. Warzone - Classic Team Deathmatch. 2 teams of 5 are pitted against each other.
    2. Guardian - Each team has a team leader which must be protected at all time. Respawning is enabled as long as your leader is still alive.
    3. Wingman - You and a buddy are up against four other teams of 2. Coordinated communication is a must.
    4. Submission - You must find the Meatflag (a roaming computer controlled player) , down him and then pick him up as a meat shield....carrying him to the goal area to score a point for your team. (beware : he shoots back)
    5. Execution - Similar to Warzone, but the only way to kill opponents is to execute them.
    6. Annex - At the start of the match, a random weapon on the map is designated as the target area. You must secure the area by standing within the animated ring around the weapon. The longer and more of your players in the ring, the quicker you can capture the area.
    7. King of the Hill - Similar to Annex but there is only 1 capture point for the entire round. It also uses Execution rules.

    8. Horde - Horde is a very special new game type in GOW2. Horde is a cooperative multiplayer mode. You and up to 4 friends face a literal horde of locust of locust. Wave after wave assaults your team. There are 50 rounds to complete in Horde. Every 10 rounds , the difficulty gets more intense. Players respawn at the conclusion of each round, provided at least one player manages to defeat the remainder of the wave.

    The maximum number of locust units active at any single moment depends on the number of players. Difficulty application is identical to single player.

    Your score resets if you continue after losing. Spectators can talk to the living and can therefore continue to be useful by pointing out enemy positions.

    The Horde receives increases to health , accuracy, and the amount of damage they inflict at the start of each successive round of 10 waves. The following table shows the changes that take place to make the Horde tougher in later waves.

    Wave 11 - Enemies have 2x Health
    Wave 21 - Enemies have 2x Health & 2x Accuracy
    Wave 31 - Enemies have 2x Health , 2x Accuracy, 2x Damage
    Wave 41 - Enemies have 2.5x Health , 2.5x Accuracy, 2.5x Damage
