[Official] Gears of War 2


Recommended Posts

Oh well, like you said I just heard about it somewhere...I don't really care tbh. I just want the game to play and have some good ol times on xbl... :D

I'm just supporting the game that I love most. This game has brought me many good times and sadly has helped me when I've been down emotionally. This is a game that deserves to be Limited Edition and is worth the $73.50 I've already paid off just as the first Gears of War was.

I will be attending the Midnight Launch as well and want to be first to get my copy and get home quickly.

It was 'Preordered' an hour or so ago. If they send it early enough tomorrow I may still be able to get it on Thursday. It's happened once before, anyway. It depends how they decide to send it. I won't be holding my breath though lol.

I really doubt it tbh, Play aren't the speediest of e-tailers. They can be very random though as I've ordered from them one day and received my purchase the next day. Other times orders have come a day late and longer.

I've never had a package arrive late, but as I said, they have sent at least one game on next-day recorded delivery so it's not completely impossible :p

They do next-day recorded now? Since when?

I bought my PS3 triggers from them, posted today apparently so I'm interested to see how long it takes.

Sorry, not recorded, I meant I could track it. I didn't have to sign for it, but I could follow it through the various depots overnight.

Not sure how many people have heard about this, but I just saw it on 1Up.com. Circuit City has a sweet deal going on for people that pre-order Gears of War 2. You get a free 1600 MS Point card for pre-ordering the game. I just got off the phone with them (took like 20mins because i could barely understand the guy i was talking to). Anyway, here's the links:

Definitely worth it for those that haven't pre-ordered the game yet.

does anyone know that is the Horde mode only on live? Can you do a co-op Horde mode offline?

I think you can, just head to LAN mode and start horde from there (Just a guess) but I'll ask my friends anyway, a couple of them got it early and saw them playing last night :wacko:

ah thanks man.. it'd be cool if you can though.

I'm tempted to sell my Wii to put towards a 360 for this game and Left4Dead.

That would be a wise choice. I sold my Wii about 6 months ago and haven't regretted it one bit. Of course, it does help when you have 360 and PS3 lol

If you buy the Limited Edition it comes with a code to redeem that grants you access to the golden Lancer for multiplayer usage.

**EDIT**

I asked one of my friends who got it early and said you can start horde mode offline.

yeah you can, you can play it with four people... good times :)

Hey guys I have another question, what time do you guys usually go for Midnight Releases? And does it matter if you pre-ordered or not? I still don't see the point of pre-ordering if you stand in line and ARE going to get the game anyway..

    • Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.
    • Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.
    • This is what I want. Hey Gemini, how do I remove you from all my google products permanently?
    • I would never install install this build before rtm process. only 3 months to go. never install on your daily devices. just wait 3 months.
    • Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
