Xbox 360

Here are some new images with varying resolution of the multiplayer mode from the tactical videogame Gears of War 2 scheduled for November 2008. Some of the heroes look like characters from Too Human. The atmosphere seems to be in place.
Update: These images were scans and have been removed.

it doesnt even fit the game ,i looks so out of place.
Yeah your right they should just run into a hail of bullets and die!! thats much more badass right? :/, how can a BulletShield be out of place in a heavy pop and cover game? did you even read the multipler impressions out there? all these additions and enhances make the game even better to play.

Dude, you know he's in trouble when he has to resort to the characters looking sissy. The shield doesn't look out of place if you've read the impressions like you've said; it actually adds an extra dimension to the gameplay, which is always a bonus.

Btw unlike some people, I actually like the characters. There's just something about Marcus Fenix ... I dunno, he's just one of my favourite characters ever to play as. True story.

Some say the muscles are OTT - I think that it's a change from all these 'pretty boys' in videogames. They genuinely look like they could be soldiers to me. The banter between them is also realistic imo. I mean, did you expect them to discuss global warming or something? They don't have degrees, they're not clever, so 'banter' is what they should be all about.

Like others have said, it's shaping up to be my personal GOTY. Can't wait to hear more in the (hopefully) near future.

People need to understand one thing, and this is the crucial fundamental thing that makes gears of war one of the greatest games

*GEARS OF WAR ONLINE*

Gears of war online is one of the most intense, brutal, sadistic, satisfying and even frustrating from host issues ever.. You play this game online, and it is just amazing, grenade tagging, headshots that never EVER get tiring, curb stomps, the whole pick your team mate aspect, strategic elements of flanking, torque bows, the amount of bitching and whinning people do when they get owned..just sweet..just..friggin sweet

dude, gears is nothing until you played it online..and to be honest, noone is waiting really for the single player side of gears of war 2..everyone who is a fan of gears is lookng forward to the online multiplayer

i just don't know why it is awesome, it just is..must the 3rd person perspective, the great graphic or the amazing animation, bodies dropping when you pop a head, i dunno..just is another level online

unless you experience the online side of gears for what it is..shit, you can't say nothing about this game. Just like we say to players who ain't used to the online side, you're a n00b and this ain't your halo, son!
But you forgot 2 really important things:

- the massive host advantage

- glitches and bugs everywhere in MP. Not even 3 Patches could bring a solution.


It's not fun, it never was for me. Only SP was good in my eyes.

I disagree completely. I absolutely loved the first Gears and enjoyed the multiplayer occasionally, but with respect to Gears 2, I'm pretty much ONLY looking forward to the single-player as I know it's going to be great. The MP will be fun, but I honestly couldn't care less if it wasn't in there.

It's close, but I think i'm looking forward to the SP a little more than the MP. MP will still be amazing though, and i'm expecting Gears of War 2 to offer the complete experience.

I don't get what people see in the Gears games. Even visually the game fails to impress.

I did mention host advantage and in gears of war 2, they are having their own servers to host the game, ala COD4 and halo 3! which is great news.

You do have a point regarding glitches and bugs, i mean gears is one of the most played games online on the xbox360 and they couldn't fix it? gears of war 2 should cover these issues

Surprised alot of gamers like it for the single player, after i got into the multiplayer, i just loved it for the multiplayer side and that is what is making me wait for gow2, pwnage online :D
