After playing more gears this week I think rooftops dispite being a fun map has to be the worse one out of the lot, fuel deport is 2nd worse but at least it's not hammer spammed in the only area to the other side of the map.

Before the rifle power adjustment it was a sweet weapon, active reload could drop someone in 3-4 good bursts around the head hitbox, but now it's a bit pointless but still a nice weapon for range.II VerTigo II said:
And since you swap ends each round I think it's fine, just remove some nades from the bottom is all I ask.

Exactly. I've had instances where people would run at me with the shotty, and I'd be getting all my Lancer rounds into the guy and he'd come up close enough to kill me with one or two shots from the boomstick. I should have been better at aiming at his head...but this will prevent that sort of play from people, where they know that they can take constant Lancer hits and will survive long enough to get a couple of shots off at you.
To me, it makes a LOT of sense. It's a very reasonable and logical feature too, so I don't think too many will complain.

Epic seems to have a track record of making tools very similar across their various engines, especially between upgrades to these engines. AFAIR, it wasn't too hard to upgrade your UT2K3 map to work in UT2K4. I'm looking at this situation in a similar light.
So looking at that...I would garner that it may not be as difficult or time consuming to simply port those maps over, than it would be for Bungie to port maps from their previous titles over.
If they sold a Gears 1 map pack as DLC I don't think that would be out of line. If some of the diehards want all of them...give it to them.
I like the idea of these remade maps because there could be some gameplay related tweaks to make them better.

Did GoW1 have any 'easter eggs'?

No cheat codes, modifiers or anything fun? They should work on that.

I hated Raven Down. Such a terrible map in my opinion when compared to the other stages. I didn't even dislike Rooftops that much.II VerTigo II said:Fixed

I personally think PDZ had the best shotgun of any game in terms of being incredibly strong but balanced.

EGM weapon details:
Scorcher Flamethrower: Short range power weapon, active reload delivers a more effective range.
HammerBurst Assault Rifle: Tweaked for the more advanced players; semi auto, more accurate and does more damage per bullet than the lancer at long range, you can also fire more quickly by rapidly pulling the trigger.
Boltok pistol: now fires more quickly after an active reload.
Gorgon Burst Pistol: Has two clips, allows for a fast rate of fire. Works well with shield.
Smoke grenades: initial blast now temporarily disables players and causes them to drop sheilds
Poison grenades: can be tagged on enemies causing slow death, linger too long and you die.
More to come: Epic told us that they have plenty of other new weapons to reveal at a later date, including some in the superweapons class (alongside the hammer of dawn).
We got some hint of a mortar-type weapon along those lines.

Just read the details myself and I love that if you get downed with a grenade in your hand, you can pull off a Martydom move when they attempt to execute you by pressing the R-trigger, and then you'll both die - nice!
Calling for help while downed is also nice too...
Crawling away while downed (mentioned in an interview already, but still) is pretty huge, and I love it - the EGM also stated that the A-button tapping that helps you to crawl doesn't extend your bleed-out time anymore either...
I'm surprised by the choice of Subway returning, but it really is top 3 in popularity when searching for maps...
Oh, and the curbstomp animation has been changed as well - now you flip them over before you stomp their heads...
Man, the EGM really has quite a bit more info than the other mags, and reading it all got me even more pumped for the game than before!
The new MP map River looks beautiful BTW...

Mine has an alternate cover with Baird being used as one of those new Priest-looking locusts' human shield. Pretty crazy.Aladuf23 said:Bah! Lucky.. I want mine to come already
You know, people can say what they want about EGM, but they have some really informative and interesting cover/previews. I read the original Halo 3 cover story from them regularly until the game came out, because it was just so packed with info.Skilotonn said:

:lol Baird is ALWAYS the one being killed whenever there is an image from Gears... like the one image from Gears 1 when he's about to be curbstomped, and then the one from the scans of the UK OXM where he's about to get beat to death by a Locust and now this! Epic has it out for ol' Baird.

Wow, great new info. Subways probably one of the last maps I'd want to be brought back. Its interesting, but I can't say I'd ever want it back in Gears 2.

I can't believe we're going to see a game outsell Halo 3 so soon.
I absolutely cannot wait for this one, every new detail is better than the last.
An official four player co-op announcement would make this pretty much game of this gen for me.

Yup, read that issue quite a few times when I flew back home for vacation, as well as on the flight back too...
And this one is getting bought too, unfortunately I have to wait for it to get imported here - I had my sis buy me the Halo 3 EGM in advance till I flew home...
Not to mention the guy that wrote the X360 Gears 2 preview tried a little too hard to be "funny" while the EGM is just chock-full of useful info - props to whoever wrote that Gears 2 flowchart for the options when downed/downing someone - nicely done!
