Gears of War 2

I'm obviously not the only one anticipating this and this is probably not even close to the first thread about this, so I'll get in to it pretty quick.

If you don't like the first game or you won't get this one, don't bother replying because I don't give a **** whether or not you play. I'm not going to argue. If you don't like it, cool. Don't bother trying to insult me or anyone else about it because it's just a ****ing video game.

This thread is for two things. To archive as many Gears of War 2 videos, screen shots, articles, etc. as possible for myself and anyone interested so they are easier to find and they are all in once spot as well as to see who else is interested and their thoughts.

I'll start with some videos.

Touch The Sound - Video about the sound affects in the new game.

The Weapon Design - Video displaying many of the new weapons and such.

Multiplayer Footage - Little bit of multiplayer on one of the new maps.

Co-op Footage - Part of a campaign level. 2 player co-op.

Campaign Footage - Early campaign level. Single player.

Trailer: Rendezvous - Trailer set to the poem Rendezvous by Alan Seeger.

Post some articles, pictures, or any videos you find. As I said, I'm mostly using this thread as a place to keep a lot of Gears of War 2 information and such for my own gain, but all those interested in the game can benefit from it and use it as they see fit.

 

Cliffy B said in an interview that the first Gears of War was supposed to show very little story and be all about the action, so you didn't actually miss much of any kind of story. All you really need to know is what you figured out for yourself in the beginning. Locust are bad guys, humans are getting slaughtered. You need to kick some ass.

You would definitely still be able to enjoy Gears of War 2's campaign as well as the multiplayer. They tweaked the gameplay in a lot of ways to fix many of the problems in the first game. The rolling shotgun technique will not work nearly as well as it used to because bullets actually have stopping power now.

You could rent the first one if you want just to be safe, but I really don't think it's necessary. Trust me, you don't need to play the first installment to enjoy all the gore that's going to be in this one. Woooooooo....

 

Who cares what game mode you're chainsawing people in, you're still chainsawing people. It doesn't get more badass than that.

 

That's a good thing in my book.

 

I was referring to the other team trying to chainsaw all the time like idiots, giving you free kills. Perhaps you didn't understood what I said.

How dare they attempt to use a feature that was intended to be in the game!

How does it piss you off? Grow up.

 

Perhaps you don't get the point I'm trying to make. Nothing about gameplay. THERE IS A ****ING ASSAULT RIFLE WITH A CHAINSAW ATTACHED! Do you have any idea at all how many that is? I am comforted in the fact that I am somewhat on the same level of manliness as every other man in the world because I will never be as manly as an assault rifle with a chainsaw.

 

Or it's for people who want to use the chainsaw because it's ****ing cool to see someone get cut up? I could shoot someone easily, but if I get a chance to chainsaw I'll do it because it's badass. Don't think that just because they use the chinsaw, they can't use anything else.

 

Well if takes no skills to chainsaw, but you are leaving yourself open. It has it's ups and downs. It's part of the game. It's a huge part of the game.

Opinion. Nothing is cooler than chainsawing someone in half.

 

I'd rather agree that I am right, but I can settle.
