[Official] Gears of War 2


Recommended Posts

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.

I would have definitely done that if I didn't have $25 in gift certificates towards Target. :pinch:

yeah, I'm a be hittin' up CC after school with that in mind and a ten dollar giftcard for buying Dead Space.

Yeah!! Saving the monies, one at a time.

Well it's finally here. Gonna pick this one up in the morning.. It's gonna be a few weeks before Left 4 Dead releases. This will keep me busy :)

It was a long dilemma but I finally narrowed my 2 games for this holiday.

Agreed (Y)

hahaha! This I gotta see!

Just got back from Gamestop. I got the game with the XBL codes for the gold hammerburst and the GoW2 NXE theme, and a GS exclusive comic that tells some of the story between GoW1 and 2. About to pop the game in and play the night away :D

-Spenser

I wish the order copies of GoW2 came with those stuff :[, apparantly mines still sitting in Arizona and should arrive within.... 18 hours, 10 hours if I'm lucky :(

Hmmm, I have ?38 worth of CEX Vouchers so may wait until they have it in store then play on my bro's xbox. Only thing is I'll then not have a gamesave when I play on my new xbox. *Sigh* I'll just play online:pp

Just gotta wait for someone to trade it in xD

If anyone has a spare Gold Hammerburst code could you send it to me in a PM cos I would love one but ordered it online so didn't go to a midnight launch.

Thanks in advance!

I can't see anyone giving it to you for free after waiting in line at midnight for it...

Lots of people playing Horde now. Every map is a different challenge, and with 15 to choose from it's going to take a while to get bored :p Haven't had a chance to play competitive MP yet lol.

I'll send you a FR in a sec. What we could do is run a private Neowin party so that people can join and leave as they please. If you do public you have to wait until the next game to join which can be a pain since each Wave lasts at least 90 seconds, rising to 2 minutes at Wave 8 and beyond...

    • 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.
