Massive Locust rock worms will emerge from the cavern walls during battle, guided by the Kantus' chanting.

"There's a certain percentage of the audience that wants to skip all that, and they just want to shoot some s---, and we're more than willing to cater to that." -Cliff BleszinskiSean said:Sounds good overall, but some things like the increased story I'm not sure of. GoW got a lot of shit for it's story but I'm not sure the Gears audience will care about Maria and reading dogtags off random dead soldiers and all that.
And needs more Cole!

Skilotonn said:Epic doesn't do CG - the early shots were just that - early shots...
Marcus' face has changed a few times over time, and that's it - the models and polygons look exactly the same as the game I've been playing since November 2006...
It's all real-time.
Dizzan said:What's with the trend of huge enemies in shooters. First R2 now Gears 2.
Francias Castiglione said:First R2?
What about the Scarab battles in Halo 2/3?
Dizzan said:Whatever was first. Who cares. It's not a competition.
Just saying, every shooter lately with any sci-fi element seems to think it's fun shooting a big thing 20 times more than shooting 20 small things once.
Not necessarily with scarabs, I could kill the scarabs in a few seconds by dropping myself from a Hornet or landing on top of it with a warthog and rushing its core, 2 or 3 shotgun blasts and it was dead. Amazingly satisfying and cool.Dizzan said:Whatever was first. Who cares. It's not a competition.

Ramirez said:I really want them to fix the online portion, but I have my doubts as I've never even heard them admit that it had problems in the first place. Hell there were tons of people on this board that tried to argue that the host advantage wasn't that big of a deal...:lol

What does that even mean?Domino Theory said:According to the newest OXM (May issue), one of their rumor moles state that Gears 2's SP will outpace Mass Effect.
Tieno said:What does that even mean?
Sounds more like hyperbole instead of a rumor. They're only comparable regarding 3rd person shooting and Gears is the best there is. I liked Mass Effect for different reasons.Domino Theory said:It'll be better than Mass Effect's SP?

Were you even in the first GoW thread? I remember a lot of complaining about the netcode. Every gow thread since release has had plenty of complaining about netcode.My Arms Your Hearse said:It's unbelievable. Nobody called them out on this. None of the reviewers, nobody. They got a complete free pass on something that was completely broken and crippled the game. For me, it made it completely unplayable and I won't be touching the sequel until I have assurances it's better (I'll probably rent it). Most of GAF pretends it wasn't a problem either. Or maybe they never even tried online, I dunno.
Given a given GeOW thread, with say, 1000 replies, there will be like two posts (one of them mine) complaining about the netcode (or lack thereof) in the first game. Everyone esle is just splooging like it wasn't a gargantuan problem. It baffles me.
Router said:Why? I thought everyone wanted them to flesh out the story this time? Maria sounds like a great addition.

I think it means that Gears 2 will have four or possibly even five different building variations to explore, which is a huge improvement over the three building variations in Mass Effect.Tieno said:What does that even mean?

On the other hand, if I were playing it very competitively, I'd be singing a different tune.
The times when it wasn't completely random, which for me was still plenty of times. I also don't cry or care about my K/D ratio.Sean said:How could you possibly have fun playing the game when it ends up being completely random?

I am baffled at the huge success GoW MP had (and still has) since it's broken as hell.
Ramirez said:Did Gears even have K/D stat tracking? I just remember it being completely bare bones on statistics. I guess if you play it casually you could like it, but I'm just way too competitive to play bullshit that usually ended with a lot of randomness.
Tieno said:The times when it wasn't completely random, which for me was still plenty of times. I also don't cry or care about my K/D ratio.
Sean said:I don't care about my K/D ratio either but it's annoying to shoot a guy at point blank range with the shotgun and have nothing happen to him, but he does the same and you go down. It's especially frustrating since you don't respawn so essentially you are punished for Epic's shitty netcode.
I don't play competitively (almost always unranked "player matches") but I just found myself cursing at the game too much. Probably 95% of the games were super laggy for me.
