Somebody had to do it

My only gripe with the first Gears was the retarded host advantage in multiplayer. They're supposed to be fixing that in Gears 2 and if that's the case then I think it'll steal me away from CoD4.

GameVideos - Gears of War 2 'Story Developer Diary' HD Video OMG the graphics are crazy on this game, I have not seen anything better than this ever.... maybe Resident evil 5 will give it a go for its money..

Lasereth · 09-24-2008, 06:08 PM

Holy cow that link that crusty posted is good. It shows how they're giving Delta Squad even more personality and back story which I really wanted in the first GoW. This game is lining up to be amazing.

Byrnison · 09-24-2008, 07:08 PM

In an interview with the devs, I saw that they will "not be making the game for the PC"...which I translate as meaning that us PC gamers will have to wait for another year before they realize that they can make even more money by porting it.

So I'm looking at the awesome gameplay trailers for GOW2, and loading GOW1 again just to torture myself

Seems a slew of new media was released yesterday for the game.

So, anyone pick it up yet? Got it on Friday and haven't stopped playing the multiplayer. I really should start the campaign soon. >_> I keep hearing good things about Horde mode too, but the multi is just too fun.

GameFly sent me Resistance 2 also, but it will probably be ignored for a little bit, lol.

Prophecy · 11-10-2008, 11:26 AM

I got my copy on launch day and have been addicted to playing Horde mode ever since. At some point I need to go back and actually try the single player campaign, but for right now mulitplayer is fine. Only real complaint is match-making is less than stellar right now. Five plus minutes to find a team is not a good thing.

What's the highest anyone has gotten on Horde? My highest is 12 sadly. With my pick-up teams regularly getting destroyed on wave 10, 11 or 12 of normal, I'm wondering what waves 30+, 40+ and 50 would be like on insane would be like.

Jove · 11-10-2008, 12:02 PM

The graphics are amazing and playing on campaign is super intense. The new weapons and enemies are fantastic! I like how my Delta squad can revive me if I am seriously injured, which is an improvement from the first game.

29. I didn't notice what the difficulty setting was, but it was pretty intense. It was my first time in and we played on the map with the busted ass commuter train cars.

I've been told level 50 on insane is....well, insane.

For those that haven't been through the campaign, take a break and give it a shot. The first GoW campaign wasn't all that great; this one is leaps and bounds better.

cybermike · 11-11-2008, 06:54 PM

I didn't finish the first GOW, I quit about 20 minutes before the last boss. I put a little over 2 hours into GOW 2 so far and I must say, I'm liking it a lot more than I expected. The gameplay isn't so much duck and cover, move forward and duck and cover again. You really get a lot of chances to flank the hell out of the enemies and at times you get to choose which direction you take. Depending which path you choose you're doing something different and I think that will add some replay value when I move up to the harder difficulty. The game looks great. It's defintiely an improvement over the first. I haven't tried Multiplayer yet. I probably won't since I suck at competitive MP.

Lasereth · 11-12-2008, 06:21 AM

I'm glad that I'm not the only person that has never played GoW multiplayer.

I have GoW2 and made it into the early caverns level. So far it's fun as hell. Sadly enough I had to return my 42" LCD to the store because it was a piece of crap so right now I have no gigantic TV to play it on.

Jove · 11-12-2008, 12:26 PM

The last battle on GOW1 was probably the hardest part of the entire game and it took me about two hours to finally kill the boss.

Just finished GOW2 Monday night, but had a difficult time during the last act when my squad was dodging other reavers. I don't want to spoil anything just yet, maybe in a week?

xepherys · 11-14-2008, 01:57 PM

I thought this game had some AMAZING writing and voice acting in it. The scene where Spoiler: Dom finally finds Maria is probably one of the saddest scenes in a game I've ever played. Well done Cliffy B, well done!
