Gears of War 2

To start things off, if for some reason you know certain key points in the game such as a death, reveal, etc... do not share it, or put it in a spoiler tag. Thank you.

Discuss gameplay, the story, possible happenings, whatever, as long as it has to do with what will hopefully be a gem.

Now to start things off... this trailer actually made me a little emotional.

I think it's because the time you spend with Delta in Gears of War 1 lets you get to know them so well, and just the music to match up with their final bit of time above ground before going down into the Hollows to fight the Locust.

Banned can vouch for me, I was whining on Skype the other night.

 

YOU ****ING ***** GROW SOME COGS JESUS CHRIST.

Yeah, I'm not anticipating Gears 2 as much as I thought I would be, maybe I just hyped myself out, but I'm not exactly dreading the game. Hoping I can get my Xbox Live Connection hooked up before launch, though I doubt I'll be able to get the game on the dot.

Really enjoying the aspect of Carmine coming back, at least in another form, and though I haven't been following developments to closely, they added Locust, weaponry, and new CoG soldiers are looking pretty sweet, Thai especially. The Locust Priest, not sure on their exact names, really do interest me, and the Butcher and Mauler variations of the Boomer scare the **** out of me.

 

Tai. Kantus.

And you're just going to hate the Butchers just for Diablo.

Which is funny because for me, I've always been evenly excited for this game, but now that it's a few scant days away, it's peaked out and not going down.

 

I've noticed. And thank you for your spelling corrections, Grammar Nazi. ( OH shi-, you better report me for the use of that word D: )

No, actually, not -just- because of the Butcher.. Chubby Locust in bloody aprons wielding cleavers are pretty scary alone, and considering how much firepower it takes to down a slow moving, heavily armed Boomer in Gears 1....

 

Oh well, new ways to take them down, and there's always the old ones.

Speaking of which... the Grinder (Boomer variant) is the one holding onto the Mulcher, the Cog chaingun.

So you have to earn it.

 

GG

 

So much like the first, and so much more.

This game is just amazing, all the changes to it are for the best.

The campaign I'm currently stuck in, and I won't say anything but wow.

 

Finished the campaign about 45 minutes ago. Wow, it was so incredibly epic.

Spoiler

You get to ride a Brumak. A God damned Brumak. Holy ****!

 

Epic made it. Ba dum tsh.

Along with one, maybe two of the vehicle sections, the only other complaint I have are the boss fights.

Kind of easy...

Spoiler

It makes up for the Centaur part I think. That part driving to the mountain is a BUGGER, especially on the lakes.

And the Brumak final boss is way too easy. Hold R a few times. Kay.

 

Is GoW2 near as good as it was supposed to be?

 

Chainsaw duels.

Duels.

With chainsaws.

That are bayonets.

For machine guns.

 

Wasn't that in GoW1 already?

 

No it was rather random who got the kill if two people revving chainsaws charged each other.

 

Maybe, but chainsaw machine guns we in GoW 1

 

Well, yeah. The Lancer's chainsaw bayonet is pretty much the iconic piece of the game, aside from the Omen of Blood. Unfortunately ( or fortunately ), the Lancer will never come into existance, seeing as a chainsaw is far too unwieldy and slow to be used on the battlefield. Of course, if you get the jump on someone in a darkened classroom...

Willy, that means you

 

I've already beaten it on insane, and I have horde the horde.

Kantus are total nightmares on insane if you don't completely destroy his underlings fast.

Butchers are hard, they just rush you, but they are slow. The ones with the shields and maces though, omg, their maces explode when they hit you, so even if it doesn't land on you, you die.

I hate bloodmounts. You pretty much have to take a mauler shield to fight them. Or have a lot of torque bow ammo.

 

My suitemate bought it and we played all day long and beat it on co-op. We felt very accomplished although we only beat it on normal or hardcore.

The lake part was the only part where we got stuck for a while. I was Dom, so I got all the gunner positions, it was SWEET.

Tried the multiplayer game modes yet? Any favorite modes or least favorite modes?

I hate Annex, with the control points that constantly change. But I like the idea of the one with the team leader and Wingmen and King of the Hill.

 

Being gunner on the brumak is fun as hell, all they can do is run from your unstoppable onslaught.

I like Warzone and Exucution. Guardian isn't bad either.

 

SUPERIOR

I've got to wait until Christmas for Gears 2, unfortunately. Though, I've been thinking about ditching it entirely, -and- WotLK. I know the story, and it's going to get old pretty quick, methinks. Hell, on Gears 1 all I did was replay the Campaign twenty billion times due to my lack of Live. Convince me otherwise, /v/.

Er, I mean, /sc2/

 

Annex is a mother ****er, I can't win a single game of it.

I like Guardian though, as long as the Skorge/Hoffman player isn't a tard. Unless they're the opposing leader, then yes. Be stupid.
