Gears of War 2 - Page 2

- Are you planning to buy Gears of War 2? Absolutely!

- Did you purchase the original game? Yes on release date.

- Are Xbox LIVE matches on Gears of War 2 part of your future agenda? Of course

- What excites you about this game? Using dead bodies as cover especially when online. That could come in handy. Also locking chainsaws will reduce the amount of noobs that use it.

I dont like Gears due to the art style. But I will give credit where it is due. The game looks great (graphics). The gameplay. Still stop and pop. BUT I will give this game a shot through Gamefly.

Fact. Chainsaw locking amounts upto mashing B as fast as possable. So no, the noobs will still spam it.

WeKillYouAll · 05-16-2008

Are you sure that mashing B will win a lock down? How do you know they didn't implement a system of hitting the correct button when it flashes on screen?

LordMe · 05-16-2008

Because it is very easy to tell. A big B flashing alot normally means to mash the button as fast as you can.

WeKillYouAll · 05-16-2008

No how do you know? Is there a video on this leaked or maybe info from the developer about how chainsaw battles will be won... I know how the first game worked. I was hoping you had some info I didn't know.

LordMe · 05-16-2008

Some peeps over at 1up said some stuff about it.

The most that it would be was a random button to mash.

WeKillYouAll · 05-16-2008

Even so I still feel that a bit of button mashing will control a good portion of the noob population. Before it was a 50-50 shot that chainsawing let you win battles against anyone even the best players. If 2 come at each other at full rev it goes either way.

This is the one 360 game I wish PS3 had I really enjoyed the first one. Meh I'll probaly just play it at a mates house.

The chainsaw battles will unfortunately incorporate button smashing as Cliffy B doesn't want to turn to button-specific commands.

At least the chain sparks look good...

New multiplayer information!

June 10th - Gears of War 2: Multiplayer Details

- Online matches will partake between teams of five instead of four, totaling the playing field to ten.

- Classic modes are making a comeback (Deathmatch and a revamped version of Assassination)

- Guardian, or the new Assassination, is essentially the same game, but respawns are allotted until your leader dies.

- Meatflag, from what I understand, is a game of capture the flag in which the flag is an AI controlled enemy. Teams must down the 'flag' and grab his body to take him back to their base to win.

- Wingman sounds like it will be of the two versus two variety with each team featuring the same character (i.e. Marcus and Marcus vs. Dom and Dom).
