Gears Of War 2

Release Date:
November 7 (Worldwide)

I hope we can get some serious Gears 2 discussion going down, when this shit drops. Who here is getting it for sure?

Multiplayer:
- Now Ten players

- 3 New Game modes:
~ Guardian (essentially a modified version of "Assassination" from the original Gears of War, but allows players to continue fighting after the leader has been killed, but losing the ability to respawn.)
~ Wingman (splits all ten players into five teams of two, where both members of a team play as the same character.)
~ Submission (a version of capture the flag in which players attempt to "down" an enemy controlled by the game's AI and move its body to their team's base to earn points.)

- A Halo-like matchmaking system will now be utilized for the online multiplayer.

- Horde Mode (A new co-op game mode which allows up to five players to fight off waves of attacking Locust together.[1] Horde Mode will not feature bot support as in competitive multiplayer, and can be played alone. The Locust attack in waves of multiple enemies which become more difficult as players progress.)

- Improved Cameras (Rather than static views from different points on a map, the new Battle Cam allows players to pan around a map as the camera focuses on areas of intense fighting, and the Ghost Cam allows a player to roam freely around a map. A photo mode will also be featured, with each photo taken by a player rated on the amount of action in the shot.

- Achievements (Certain achievements such as getting a defined number of kills with a weapon have been altered. For example,to get an achievement you must get either 10 or 30 kills with any weapon on any game type.)

Nah i dont think i remember that and yeah i used to play it a bit, haven't played it much lately except with my cousin who just got it with his 360...

Tbh im not actually buying this for a while. My friend pre-ordered it, but is going away on the 7th for the weekend, so i said i'd pick up his pre-order for him and play it over the weekend and give it back to him, when he gets back. Then on the 12th i can get GWHT and put all my effort into that :party:

[MR4]

This was my first xbox 360 game. The first one of course.

I've been playing Gears of War a fair bit lately because I'm pretty excited about this. Should of pre-ordered it though, damn.
