[Official] Gears of War 2

[+Mystic MVC]

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:

I lost my pre-order slip for Gears of War 2. I hopefully it is in my car, or they can just tell from there system :p

[afusion]

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

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 :(

[Stinky Newb]

I just got back with a friend from a WalMart. Only about 10 people waiting. Awesome game so far!!

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

my copy should be comming @ work today, anybody up for some co-op or horde mode later on tonight

XBL: Ankah

Edit: when I say tonight I mean around 8pm ish east coast

[spenser.d]

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.

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!

[t0mbi]

im just ahhh...buying...my copy now :ninja:..stupid NXE update, really wish i could play this online this weekend but ahh well. stupid impatient me lol

[Pheee]

I think I'm gonna start to be the lucky guy with just the Black lancer, with everyone running around in gold :D

I am of course up for NW matches, multiplayer and Horde. :D

[GameOverRob]

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!

[Brad.]

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

[Pheee]

Ok I have GoW2 today, so will be around ,later tonight or the weekend for NW matches.

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.

[Ayepecks]

Got it at midnight... now I have to go to track practice (5:30 a.m. right now) :sleep:

[Rookas]

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.

[what]

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...

[t0mbi]

wow, this game is beefcake..so manly! i think i need to smoke malbro and drink Budweiser to beef up my testosterone to play this game! good tho
