[Official] Gears of War 2


Recommended Posts

Underoath, please stop the mass PM'ing of game news. Not only is it late but I can really do without the empty "threats" of being deleted from your "exclusive" friend list. I really couldn't care less.

I've sent two, I've already removed the people. So, I'm assuming that you would like to join them?

I can definitively say that this game is every bit as visually impressive live as it is in screenshots.

The MS people at E 4 All were (trying to) crack down on people taking screenshots of live play (even though there are several videos out already). Oddly, they didn't seem to give a **** about the 12 year olds playing. Way to stick it to the ESRB, Microsoft!

If I was big on shooters (and had a 360), I'd get this. Unfortunatly, neither are true (I most likely won't be getting KZ2 or R2 either).

But yeah, I was diggin the Horde mode maps.

It definitely has 5 player Horde which is when you just go fight enemies together. (I think)

4 Player Co-Op is pretty likely imo for the campaign.

The Horde I saw had at least 7 players over LAN, so I assume it may go up to 8.

Basically I sent out two messages to all my friends to let them know I will be removing them if they do not get Gears of War 2. He seems to be offended by that...so I removed him.

Hmm, ok definitely is something I'm going to avoid because it sounds like a fight waiting to happen.

Submission looks very interesting and fun for a LAN party, but not promising for something like Xbox Live. I can't wait for Wingman though. My friend and I can't wait to get a kick out this!!

Just 29 more days...

EDIT: I believe there's a new developer diary up on the official website. It focuses on multiplayer. (Second slide)

Edited by Ruiz
That's been known for a while now. It's for everything -- campaign, co-op, multiplayer, etc.

I just watched my first video of the game where it was mentioned, good it's not competitive multiplayer only but I still think achievements like that are retarded.

I personally like the achievement, I'm a dedicated Gears of War player and have been playing it since Nov 7th, 2006. I think it is a great achievement as well.

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
    • It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
