[Official] Gears of War 2

[Pheee]

Well mine was dispatched yesterday, and looking at LBP coming within 2 days from the same place, I assume tomorrow.

[cammy]

Hey guys, i got gears of war in the post today!

Its very much like the first one (which isnt a bad thing in my opinion)

But what the hell happened to it graphically?

There appears to be no AA, the textures areent the best, any area where theres more than 20ft of space ahead of you is blurred, and ive noticed the game freeze quite a few times when loading up an area.

Hopefully when the NXE is out installing it to the HDD will sort some of these problems, but maybe its just me after playing crysis and far cry 2 on the pc lol.

Gameplay wise its rewarding though! :D

I know how you feel, but I sold my Wii to fund my Ps3 purchase.

I find I have games that I have hardly played.

Hopefully when the game releases slow down, I can catch up.

According to my mate sniping is easier, the lance sounds crap, the shotgun fires at a much slower rate, the weapons seem to have quite a bit of recoil now so you can't just hold the trigger down. You can no longer quit out of room [Thank God for this people quitting games really p*ssed me off about the first Gears]. You can't decide what game mode or what map to play as they are both randomly generated unless you are playing in a private match [This sounds SH*T and if its true they had better patch it and make it selection based like the original]. And also apparently the default time for rounds is 5 mins and can no longer be altered!

Urgh! :( but I shall not pass judgement till I have played it and given it a fair go.

I really hope Target doesn't run out of copies before I get mine tomorrow!

[DELTETHISACCOUNT]

I will be waiting in line in less than twelve hours, OMGYES!!

[what]

Awesome game. It's like the first, but on a more epic scale. I wanted to try out Horde over Live but there was no one playing, and playing on local by yourself just isn't the same :p Looking forward to tomorrow night when we can hopefully get some NW games up and running ;)

There is only so much you can do on Horde by yourself or even with 2 players, my brother and i managed to get to Horde 29, but after that i think its just impossible to keep going with just 2 players, it gets really hard.

Quick question about the DLC - the flashback maps or whatever the gridlock mansion etc from gow1, it says its a first day only deal on some places and on others it says you just have to buy a new copy (not pre-owned) can anyone confirm either one? just wondering so i know whether i neeed to buy it tomorrow or i can wait a couple days :p

Only new copies come with a code.

Only new copies come with a code.

yes, but do you have to activate the code or play the game or something on the release day? or is it all new copys?

I will hopefully have it on Saturday, decided to save $20 so am waiting for it through Gamefly, but they shipped it this morning at 8:20 AM.

For anyone who might not have it and was waiting to buy it in store, I saw a commercial just before that Friday & Saturday Circuit City has a deal, if you buy the game you get a free card for 1600 MS Points, pretty damn good deal.
