The notions of all the shots fired having stopping power is really cool. I always like to see my opponents react when I shoot them, and being able to keep them back with a heavy stream of fire will be nice.

Gears 2 looks fucking God-like. I am so amped for this. I couldn't count how many times I wished the original had a matchmaking/party system and just a more fleshed out and robust multiplayer component altogether. This will definitely be my personal GOTY.

Gotta say I agree, but only because of the existence of the rapid/auto fire bullshit.

You know what would be way better than masshing or QTEs? A series of Active reloads deciding the winner of the duel. And if would fit fine with the game.

That, or a series of buttons in order they flash up on screen like a QTE._dementia said:

This game looks great. From what I read from EGM's cover story, sounds like Epic has cleaned up a lot of the problems that came with Gears 1 and I'm happy about that. This movie just proves that even more, the multiplayer looks fun as hell.
The only thing I will never get over though is how ridiculous the human's armor is. Thank god they changed that a little (you can see in one of the multiplayer screen shots the guy with the straw hat looks normal).

I wish they'd just throw in the kitchen sink and give us a film system as well.Jtyettis said:

Was some of that music in the gametrailers vid direct from the Gears 2 soundtrack. If so...fuck yes!
That was a great long write-up - thanks for the post...
So not only will there be a very-likely Campaign playthrough there, but more MP modes and maps will have their debut there as well - this is going to be one hell of an E# this year...
It fits in with slowing the pace down of the game and making it the tactical game it was originally planned to be - I myself am guilty of running through the maps hunting for kills, but I can change, especially since reading about these new changes so early...
Plus the grenade gives a quick beep before it goes off, so as long as you aren't running headlong around corners, you should have time to roll away - also if you see a grenade (they have lights just like the guns and armor correspond to the team), you can shoot them at a safe distance to destroy them too, and it's possible to knockdown/kill the person with his own grenade if gets in the radius, just like the original does with explosives...

It's really strange that they didn't.2real4tv said:
Its looking very nice. I'll have to swap consoles with a buddy again to play this for sure.
(how come all developers always show the "brown" levels first...first screens of like EVERY game are always brown... :lol , then everyone says, 'ITS TOO BROWN' and then later we realize the game actually had different levels with color. )

Yeah, the music is definitely pure hawtness.Dark FaZe said:
One of my issues with the first game was that I felt that the soundtrack was pretty underwhelming and didn't really fit the game all that well. The few snippets of music in that vid sound great, though. They do a better job of conveying the dark, gritty, war ravaged theme of Gears a bit better than what was offered in the original.

LOL, uh, I'm sorry....this game was supposed to have awesome graphics right? These screens are not impressing me at all. It doesn't stand out anymore like it did back in Nov of 06 I guess.

Did i get it right? Cliffy?
Nope. The AR from the sniper doesn't down people at all anymore.

Any particular reason why the newest HD gameplay was removed from gametrailers.com?
