I keep seeing players trying to still pull off, the roll and gun tactic only to find they keep getting slowed down by bullets, and have to then run to try and find cover, man i'm so glad that has been addressed, cant wait for some MP goodness :D
Yeah, it's great that they've addressed that. Another observation: did you notice that the people who went with the shotgun hardly got any kills out of it? They clearly instinctively went to for the shotgun like practically everyone would in Gears 1, only to find that they weren't as effective. That is of course brilliant that they've addressed that issue as well.

As for the marketing campaign - you have to hand it to them, it's a clever idea.

They also show the new motar weapon in use.

Since the search function on the forum is... well.. I want to refrain from using the word "catastrophic" so I'll just use "limited" instead.. was there at any point in this thread a mention of perhaps a sample of the game's music?

The sound dev diary on the front page made me super interested in listening to it and I was wondering if there is one floating around.

Not as far as I am aware. The only thing that has been mentioned with regards to the music was when someone said who was composing it.

Do you guys know the deal with this Predator-like Locust? It is known as "Skorge" and is said to be playable in multiplayer:

I hope so, 'cos that would be awesome. According to rumours, there are chainsaw blades on each end of its staff.

Aaaah, I really can't wait.

You posted the pics. At least they look like chainsaws, or at least they are hedge trimmers.

I did not realize it was the Staff he was referring too, to me they seem like serrated blades, but yes it could very well be a dual chainsaw staff!!

That would have to be the coolest weapon ever seen in a video game. Yes, even better than the gravity gun.

Errr, has anyone seen the OXM preview? Obviously I can't post the scans, but they're up on the Gears 2 forums somewhere I believe. OXM has played through the whole of Act 1 and have posted info about it. Here's a summary of what they wrote:

- Carmine is back! Introducing Ben Carmine, his brother.
- A tutorial is back, where you show some new recruits the ropes. You can skip it, but you miss out on some great banter and a collectible.
- Skorge is leader of the Kantus and does have a chainsaw on each end of his staff. He jumps out when Marcus and Dom go down the grindlift and attacks Dizzy. It isn't know whether Dizzy survives.
- The first cut-scene is very memorable and sets up the serious tone for the campaign. There is a huge battle, as cities get sucked up and COG troops get slaughtered.
- Dom's search for Maria starts right away. Anya says she has found a match but has lost her location. Dom then shows his anger, as he bashes a car with the blunt side of his Lancer. Marcus watches on with great sympathy, as he gives Dom all the time he needs.
- The first mission (I think) is in a Hospital filled with Locusts.
- They also describe the Assault level, which we pretty much already know about.
- One of the first missions is in 'Landown', a snow-filled city.


And that pretty much sums up the information. Beware: I mean it when I say there are spoilers. Part of me wishes I hadn't read it, but I couldn't resist the temptation. :P
