...and that was the last time the chat was any good.

Skilotonn · (10-11-2008, 04:08 PM)

Man, the sound is good, but I can't turn it up too high yet since I'm talking with family on Skype right now...

That excellent Gears sound with great chatter is back and even better than before!

Any maps you guys want to see?

You could show the new map they showed on the ViDoc - I think it's the one called Blood Drive...

X26 · (10-11-2008, 04:08 PM)

You can get mp achivements just playing with bots?

VaLiancY · (10-11-2008, 04:09 PM)

I just want to hear Hoffman say "Eat boot!" and I'll be satisfied for the day.

-PXG- · (10-11-2008, 04:09 PM)

How do I had the chat window. Its slowing shit down. :(

Yep, you get them across all modes in Gears 2.

Douchebags are ruining the chat

Achievements are no longer limited to mutiplayer. They go across solo, co-op, horde and ranked/unranked mutiplayer. Tis a good thing.

-PXG- · (10-11-2008, 04:12 PM)

PLEASE! Play as Skorge or Kantus!

Seriously, how do I disable the chat. Its bothering this shit out of me.

Skilotonn · (10-11-2008, 04:12 PM)

Finished talking on Skype for a bit, and just turned up the Gears 2 audio - I love that menu music!

And thanks for choosing Blood Drive for me!

Arnie · (10-11-2008, 04:13 PM)

Wow the shotgun swing is beautiful. And you are a scholar among men sir for changing the map.

Ranked MP is going to be so much better now for that alone

Do you have Firefox w/ the Ad block add-on? If so then just block the chat window.

Seriously, I'm getting very nostalgic. I haven't played Gears 1 in over a year.

Aladuf · (10-11-2008, 04:15 PM)

So were you guys hearing the Boltok pistol before?! That thing sounds INSANE!

I do have FF, but I don't know how to do that -_- I'm a noob.....

Also, do Ruins next and play as Skorge or Kantus. Thanks.

You're doing fine. Hey, we all know we're going to suck too at first. Thank you so much for doing this man. GAF appreciates it a lot

striKeVillain! · (10-11-2008, 04:17 PM)

How many total players can play in Horde? 5?

From some of the YouTube vids, it sounded like the Longshot had more of a punch to it. You guys heard it yet?

A tip for those who still see the chat - close the window and open it again - the chat still runs if you do nothing it looks like - I even have two windows open - the old window with the stream stopped and chat still going, and a new one with the stream and no chat enabled...

And the battle seriously sounds like a warzone now, when you had the camera zoomed out in the Battle cam - wow...

The music is something that doesn't get enough comments if you ask me... it's perfect for the game, and isn't your typical blasting loud rock music...

And If you can dream, can you try out weapon executions for the Lancer, Snub Pistol, Hammerburst and Boomshot? I wanna see if they still are all the same...

Plus we've never seen the Boltok one in action yet...

Can't you take screens in the game without a camera?

It sounds like a fucking shotgun with more punch to it.

Thanks.

Man, I REALLY want some Skorge/ Kantus action on Ruins. Seriously

EDIT

HOLY SHIT! You can melee over cover O_O

Arnie · (10-11-2008, 04:23 PM)

I love how fast it is to resart a Horde match, there are no loading times. God this game could seriously take my life away from me.

VaLiancY · (10-11-2008, 04:24 PM)

Rofl @ the cat.

-PXG- · (10-11-2008, 04:24 PM)

Dog.

EDIT

Cat.

Kibbles · (10-11-2008, 04:24 PM)

Damn cat!

Aladuf · (10-11-2008, 04:24 PM)

@ his cat getting in the way of the camera.

-PXG- · (10-11-2008, 04:25 PM)

214 people. Christ....

Aladuf · (10-11-2008, 04:26 PM)

Fuck. Missed it.

Awesome quotes:

DIE HUMAN *Kantus voice*

REVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE MEEEEEEE!!!

What's the matter? You hurt?

Aladuf · (10-11-2008, 04:28 PM)

HOLY SHIT DID HE JUST GET A HEADSHOT WITH THE LANCER?!?!!!

AndresON777 · (10-11-2008, 04:28 PM)

God damn! this game looks like pure heaven

Dosia · (10-11-2008, 04:30 PM)

This is too sick! I woke up expecting to see pics and I get to actually watch a live video stream? sweet

Or do you not know what's actually going on with the maps?

I live in Greece and Greece isn't officially supported by Live so I have a UK-based account but everything about Gears in the marketplace is locked for me - other examples are Crackdown, Duke Nukem, Condemned, Jericho, UMK3..in fact everything that's banned in Germany isn't available also for us..so that's why I won't be able to download the classic map pack.

I'm pretty pissed off about it man it's 5 freakin' awesome maps from the first game, I wouldn't care if it was 1 or 2 maps but not be able to at least play these maps on local/lan parties is stupid IMO and we pay 70e for new games here - that's why I said we pay more & we get less. :(

Dark FaZe · (10-11-2008, 04:31 PM)

I really underestimated Horde...that shit is gonna be fucking FUN.

Oh lord....

Skilotonn · (10-11-2008, 04:31 PM)

Nice headshot with the Boltok!

Guys, I'm really feeling the hype now watching it - like, really feeling it now...

Holy shit.

I missed that, but I remember reading about that some time ago, and I'm actually glad they are back, since that'll mean some cruel, cruel deaths will go down in Horde... :)

striKeVillain! · (10-11-2008, 04:31 PM)

Stream is stuttering like all hell for me. :(

-PXG- · (10-11-2008, 04:31 PM)

BUTCHER BOOMER ON WAVE 2!!?!?!?!? What!!!?!?

Yeah, the lag is pretty annoying... :(

But I see that there are more and more people watching the stream now so that's why...

Ah, that makes more sense now...

Sorry to hear about that - did you ever try having some one outside of Greece recovering your account, download it there, then you log back into your account and then go to Download History and downloading it there on your own HDD?

I don't know if it would work for sure, it's something I just thought of...

AndresON777 · (10-11-2008, 04:35 PM)

The AI looks aggressive, I like that
