Gears Of War 2 - All you need to know part 1



Video gameplay trailer:

Release date: 30th November 2008

Expected to be released for: Xbox 360(exclusive)


Can't wait for Epics sequel - Gears of War 2? Then you are in the right place. Lead designer Cliff Bleszinksi(above) promises extra strategy, as the first Gears of War devolved into too many charge and evade battles.



So what else is new?

4 on 4 becomes 5 on 5 - More players per game = more action...Thats what we like!

New multiplayer modes - Epic has developed a standard Capture the flag gamestyle to a sort of 'Capture the CPU-Controller person' However, he isn't the most friendly of chaps and will put up a fight. The aim is to weaken him enough and take him to the designated point on the map.

Also new is 'WingMan' which is basically a standard deathmatch with a partner. Cliff Bleszinksi describes it as "If the other guy doesn't look like you, kill him." I'm sure fans of Halo 3 and team double clans will be happy to see this gametype.

Not enough? Good, as there is another new gametype.
Guardian - Similiar to Rainbow Six Vegas' 2 'team leader' game, this is said to be the remake of the deserted assassination, in the original Gears of War. Each team has a leader, and as long as you keep him alive - your team can respawn. Strategy is a must in this sequel!


The Meatshield - I'm sure if you have read anything about Gears of War 2 this topic would have come up. You are able to take a downed opponent hostage and let them absorb all the enemy fire while you laugh it off in their face.

The Scorcher - Oh yes... The flamethrower.



Described as "the most realistic flamethrower to have been seen in a video game" this is sure to be a hit. It is pictured above with new, tatooed character Tai Kaliso. A perfect active reload enables the flamethrowers range to increase.

Part 2 will be published tomorrow - Which informs on new finishing moves, new characters, chainsaw wars and of course, new weapons.
Don't you miss out!

Thanks,
