Gears of War 2

After watching the lastest developer diary I've decided to start a thread where we can talk about it. I'll add links to the videos as I find them

Every Gun Has A Story

Delta Blues

Enter the Horde

Never Fight Alone

Top 5 Deadliest Locusts

From the looks of it the MP has been improved alot which is great. Sadly there is no more rolling shotgun killing (Colin you can rejoice

) but there is some great maps on the way. If you watch the Never Fight Alone video you'll see a map called avalanche which looks to have an excellent game mechanic where you guessed it an avalanche blasts through the town killing anyone not in a building or in the back of a truck

One of the biggies for me with the game as a whole is the fact the kill achievements have been changed so you don't have to play just the ranked MP matches to get them the are spread across the campaign, etc.

Being able to get the kills in Co-Op, local and ranked MP is a massive plus for me.

Definitely.

I saw my local gamestation is still advertising the pre-order deal with the model and cog tag, so think i'll have to enquire there another day

Need to check who my pre-order is with currently and if the price difference is much.

That is the deal I have Jen

Haly · 09-10-2008, 19:26

Seems it's only £3 more than my current pre-order with game so think I'll get that sorted when I'm there next

I like getting pre-order stuff

Siaus22 · 09-10-2008, 21:12

Hmmm, may have to go in tomorrow and pre-order with that deal. Have already made sure I have most of that day free to be able to enjoy the game in its finest.

Since learning of the horde mode (aka TK Frenzy \0/) I shall be picking this up. No decent highstreet stores near me though

Probably get it from work (-10%

)

Must go and pre-order this, I keep forgetting

leowyatt · 10-10-2008, 10:35

go go go

I really want some cogs. Is the gamestation preorder an exclusive thing, in-store?
