Remysaus Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Yes, finally got to play it! it's really blowing my mind right now, both in the graphics and gameplay department. story is alright so far, but it's getting rather cliche really.. the level inside the worm was amazing, really had me gagging XD Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678574-official-gears-of-war-2/page/21/#findComment-590092196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Seriously 2.0 isn't going to take anywhere near as long as I expected it to. Horde is almost statpadding for it. Same goes for the last level of singleplayer where you ride the Brumak. I'm already at 2600 kills lol.

Brad. Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I can confirm that Sainsburys is in fact selling the game for ?29.00. Bargain! Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678574-official-gears-of-war-2/page/21/#findComment-590092934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyro Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 played most of the levels of horde 1-8 16-28 -34-50 basically 1-10 you can do on insane 10-38 on hardcore 38-48 on normal 48-50 on casual now ive gotta go back and fill in hte missed games i dont like how they have nurfed the shotgun and this makes the problem with elimination where you have to be on top of them to kill them greater, at least on GOW1 i could shotgun to the head when they were downed from a relatively far distance, now i cant do that or finish with hte lancer and end up not getting many kills edit: horde was done on security, with 4 people in the "pit" one in hte hiding place by the button if you can get all 5 people in the "pit" then you can seriously kick arse Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/678574-official-gears-of-war-2/page/21/#findComment-590093048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoLiMiT06 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Got my copy at midnight last night and was only able to play for a few min when I got off work this morning, I did install it to the HD and the only complaint I have so far is there are some texture issues where they take a while to fully render them. Not sure if thats because of the install or just a bug that was overlooked. Hopefully they release a patch for it sometime soon.

Dirk Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I got the game today, Amazon pulled through, and it is awesome. I have played nothing but horde mode so far but that alone made it worth it. I am pretty sure though that the game is going to kill my 360. I see little graphical glitches and stuff on the screen. Like peoples names and how much ammo you have left kinda flicker and slide a little. That is the best way I can describe it.

Steffan Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I went to Circuit City and got the game, but they ran out of point cards. They did take my name and number to call me to let me know when they get more in.

afusion Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Having not played the first the gaming mechanics and graphics in this game sings superior from a beautiful woman's breasts. The water is just so realistic and shimmering with detail, I can say the same for the atmosphere, terrain.
