+Mystic MVC Posted November 7, 2008 MVC Share Posted November 7, 2008 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: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678574-official-gears-of-war-2/page/19/#findComment-590088792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

spenser.d Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678574-official-gears-of-war-2/page/19/#findComment-590089148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

spenser.d Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 My first impressions are that if you liked Gears 1, you'll easily like this one - it pretty much feels exactly the same. It's pretty awesome. The game looks absolutely spectacular visually. It really is something to just sit and look at. -Spenser Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678574-official-gears-of-war-2/page/19/#findComment-590089338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameOverRob Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You can choose what weapon to use before the game mind, so atm I have a choice between a lancer, a hammerburst and a gold lancer(default) Got upto level 20 on horde last night!

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.

Rookas Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Who's down for Horde mode this morning? I'm getting off work in about 30 minutes and will be spending the rest of the day killing Locusts. Send me a FR if you wanna join me. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678574-official-gears-of-war-2/page/19/#findComment-590089812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 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...
