[Official] Gears of War 2


Recommended Posts

Spooky, Larry, and everyone else, great 50 waves there.

I can't believe I ran out to get the game when you guys started on 1 and got back to my house at 23.

Let's do it on a harder difficulty...can't wait.

Didn't we restart when you joined? I can't fully remember lol...

What difficulty did you guys do it on?

Casual, but if you didn't work as a team you got mobbed lol. Those damn Bloodhounds every 10 waves are a pain in the butt. The Grinders are probably the worst though when they get 2x Health, Accuracy and Damage since they have seemingly infinite range...

I'll definitely be playing tomorrow so if you start a game, be sure to invite me.

Casual? Pfft, noobs :p

Anyone want to get some NW matches on XBL going? Or anyone up for Horde? Habnad, Kick and I are going on now..

@Massive, you can't drop in and out of Horde afaik, so they'd have to restart for you to join.

Well you got the acheievement, so you did it from 1, and also I joined when you guys restarted, and you were there :p

Yeah that's right, we quit when DL wanted to invite Massive and then you hopped in at the same time. We were playing on Day One I think. Made it up to wave 9 or 10 and then DL said Massive had got home...

Yep, we definitely did start from 1.

Fun times all, without a doubt. I honestly cannot imagine ever doing Horde on Hardcore and getting to 50, I really cannot, but who knows.

@lylesback - I was going to invite you but when I was done eating lunch and I got the invite from these guys, I saw you were already on Wave 28, so I thought you probably did not want to restart at that point. Just wanted to let you know it was definitely not intentional.

Just beat the game... and it was amazing. It improved upon the original in almost every way. Much more fun. Epic still needs to work on the driving levels (well, except the last one... that one was fun ;)), but other than that I can't find too much to complain about.

Now once my roommate gets back we'll do a co-op game with me on Insane and him on Casual :D

I guess you guys are right. I guess I was just overwhelmed with everything...you know...complaining to larry that my rental didn't come in, contemplating buying the game, running out to buy the game, and running home and popping it in and joining the party...All within 20 mins LOL!

And then screaming down the mic on Wave 2 when a Butcher came towards you :laugh:

It's all about the insane :p three of us got to level 10 on 'First Day' I think the map is called. From there we couldn't do it.

    • 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.
