Finally saw the high quality pics from the magazine. Simply amazing! Cole train with Beard: WIN!
Man, I think Gears of War has the best maps of any multiplayer game i've ever played. They're all just so well balanced and symmetrical (save for duds like Rooftops, Mausoleum, and Escalation).Black_Ice said:For a return, I would like:
Gridlock
War Machine
Clocktower

Epic have got to be congratulated on Gears 2 texture quality. Absolutely unreal!!!
Best textures yet on a console game?

War Machine, Clocktower, and Mansion are among my favorites, though.
I wasn't a big fan of Clocktower.Domino Theory said:Amen to Clocktower. My favorite map from Gears. I also love Masoleum, Canals, and Rooftops (which is underrated IMO).
I know far too well how random the shotgun can be. :lolFeindflug said:The shotgun is so random/broken that it's not even funny, sometimes you blow someone to pieces from a distance and other times you shot someone in his neck and survives...also something else that needs to be fixed is the instant downs from active reloaded snipers - it's too damn powerful and a lot of people are now good at aiming with the sniper because of the steady/fast aiming and slow movement of the players - it's all about the headshots baby!
Also no love for Fuel Depot? it's the best map along with War Machine IMO.
I don't think it would be like counter-strike where being hit at any angle will cause you to drop to walking speeds for a moment, but to stop or at least slow down people who charge straight at you for a close range shotgun blast, normally the host who has zero lag if they are not whoring the sniper :/Kydd BlaZe said:Will have to see footage of this "stopping power." Sounds like it could completely change the way we play Gears. I'm having a hard time understanding what they mean by "slowing you down." This has the potential to be game breaking, IMO.

Game is looking amazing from these screens, and YAY at the Collectors Edition including a photo of Dom's wife. :lol
I think more people would buy it if there is a polaroid of Cliff aswellcjelly said:and YAY at the Collectors Edition including a photo of Dom's wife. :lol
x360. It's in a plastic bag with a DVD and achievement book (lol).NutJobJim said:Which mag is it OXM UK or the one in post 2951 (x360)? Think I'll pick it up as well.
Dear God I hope not. War Machine is awful, and Fuel Depot isn't that exciting either.Full Recovery said:I've heard Gears 2 will come with roughly a dozen maps, one of which is Gridlock.
My guess is: Gridlock, War Machine, and Fuel Depot
I don't see them remaking more than 3 maps, unless the community has a hard one for a particular map they miss.
B_Rik_Schitthaus said:Escalation is the best for 1 reason every round you have to do something different ie climb or descend.
Mansion is one map where the outcome can really change randomly, I'm no good storming the sniper but the garden out the back is amazing fun :lolMr. Durden said:Dear God I hope not. War Machine is awful, and Fuel Depot isn't that exciting either.
Mansion's where it's at

Technically, the Gnasher has two-barrels, but yeah.Fallout-NL said:It would be great if Epic could somehow work a classic double barreled shotgun in there somwhere.
The new respawn rules for one of the old modes is kind of that but I don't think gears suits constant respawning and shooting like unreal. Annex was light fun at first but since then i've hardly touched it.MattyH said:i wanna see straight up team deathmatch with a party mode
The use of 'towards' explains it all. So normally, you should be able to dodge sideways or backwards.Dark FaZe said:I doubt thats the case, but a scan is quoted to say that there is a level of stopping power that will prevent you from running or dodging towards you while under fire.
Now if this simply means while your running forward or dodging forward, or dodging left or right or backwards, or none of the above but simply slowing your movements, I'm not to sure at this point.

Blasphemy! Mausoleum isn't a dud!Kydd BlaZe said:Man, I think Gears of War has the best maps of any multiplayer game i've ever played. They're all just so well balanced and symmetrical (save for duds like Rooftops, Mausoleum, and Escalation).

This is how I feel. I enjoy most of the maps in Gears, and I'm sure I'll have plenty of fun with Gridlock and one or two other remakes, but I know how those maps play, and so does everyone else. I want to experience new areas with new routes and new tactics.Dirtbag 504 said:Seriously guys, out with the old....

I just hope they don't go overboard on the interactive elements. I wasn't a big fan of stuff like having to press buttons in Garden to get to the Sniper Rifle.
It's not as if I dislike new maps in a sequel of any multiplayer shooter. I'd just like both of them, if possible.Dirtbag 504 said:Here we go again with remakes! God damn it GAF!
Then when the game comes out, we can all complain how its so similar to the previous game and really Gears 1.5
Seriously guys, out with the old....
Of course, I get that... But it never works like that.MicVlaD said:It's not as if I dislike new maps in a sequel of any multiplayer shooter. I'd just like both of them, if possible.
