[Official] Gears of War 2

[Dirk]

My copy from Amazon hasn't even been shipped yet. I got the release day shipping thing.

You better make sure it's not one of the Circuit Cities that are closing, I've heard they are no honoring the 1600 card deals.

The 3 stores that are closing are in Northern part of VA. No where close to me.

[Razorwing]

does anyone know what the cross over achievements/bonuses are?

If you've unlocked certain achievements in the original game, you'll have access to things like additional characters in multiplayer (I'm not sure what achievements they were talking about in particular though, but you could guess that if you've defeated RAAM in the original game you'll be able to play as him in GoW2 multiplayer).

I also heard in one of the videos that any registered kills you have in the original game will be brought forward to count towards the Seriously 2.0 achievement. So if you just got enough kills to earn Seriously..., you would 'only' need 90,000 kills to unlock Seriously 2.0.

Waiting for my copy to arrive hopefully today but the chances of actually playing it are slim as i'm hooked on Fallout 3 at the minute. Plus i had LBP in the post yesterday and i havent even touched it yet.

Anyone who wants the CE version of the game. gameplay.com are doing it for ?42.99. I pre-ordered mine and because they changed the price after they despatched the game, they've given everyone a ?10 voucher for purchases over ?40.

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

[Hungarian Salami]

I pre-ordered mine a month ago from BestBuy but I guess I'll get it next Tuesday. Its going to be released on the 7th, they are going to ship it on Monday and I'll get it on Tuesday...

I just noticed, that some people playing Gears of War 2, if I try to view their acheivements, it does not show them at all, do you think they have in place now so that acheievements cannot be seen until release date?

[GameOverRob]

they probably just happen to have their achievements set to private and not viewable by anyone even friends

[drshdw]

I've had the game for a while now.. and no the achievements won't show up online til the game goes "live". However they do show up on my 360..

That's how it was for me when I got Halo 3 early.

[sharpy2k4]

[Shadrack]

Hmm...i wonder if Best Buy will have a midnight release thing. Probably not, they never do that.

No, the rest of the games, you can see just not GoW2.

[GameOverRob]

Weird...
