[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.

    • This machine could very well be a second gaming PC for their living room as a console experience. So we would have to assume their main PC exists as well; With that said, I have 10gb home network with a 2.5gigabit internet connection here so we tend to have more than enough speed to download games. However, we can't make use of the 10gb LAN using Steam's built in transfer tool because it always compresses transfers and that slows the transfer down to well below a standard gigabit port speeds, sometimes as slow as 200-300Mb/s transfers. While that's probably still faster than most internet connections anyway, if they'd fix the LAN transfer issue it'd be upto x5 faster even on a gigabit LAN, than simply dropping a 2.5gbe port on there with hopes of a few people having fast internet connections. There are solutions, work arounds, like using LANCache if you run a NAS... or simply copying the files over manually using a network share.
    • Samsung announces ultra-fast UFS 5.0 storage to supercharge mobile AI by Paul Hill Local AI models tend to run a lot more slowly than cloud services like Claude and Gemini; however, Samsung has just announced that it has developed its UFS 5.0 solution, which increases data transfer to speeds of 10.8GB/s, enabling faster storage and processing in mobile memory that has the potential to provide more optimal local AI experiences. Commenting on this development, Jangseok Choi, head of Memory Product Planning at Samsung Electronics, said: If you’ve tried local AI, you’ll know it can be quite slow, especially if using the larger parameter models. By developing this new solution, Samsung says that storage is evolving from just storing data to a core piece of infrastructure that supports AI computation, too. The Korean company said that UFS 5.0 integrates the latest embedded memory interface standard from JEDEC and achieves up to 10.8 gigabytes per second (GB/s) transfer speeds. Regarding write speeds, Samsung UFS 5.0 can reach 9.5 GB/s. Both the read and write speeds are twice as fast as those of the previous UFS 4.1 standard. Aside from being ideal for local AI, Samsung’s UFS 5.0 is more power efficient by 40% compared to UFS 4.1. Samsung achieved this by implementing innovations such as clock gating and multi-voltage technologies. UFS 5.0 is also ultra-compact at just 7.5mm x 13mm x 0.9mm; that is 16.7% smaller than UFS 4.1. The company said it will be bringing it to multiple devices in the future, including mobile, wearable, and extended reality.
    • A bit like the steamdeck, this probably isn't for you.
    • Gamers Nexus already did their review, and building your own will be faster and cheaper, so not very convincing.
    • They've told outlets who got review units that it isn't. Partially because they believe that contributes to closed ecosystems. GamersNexus also believes this is because Valve's fighting a monopolistic practices lawsuit in Europe right now. They've also never subsidized any of their past hardware efforts and well, they definitely aren't subsidizing the Steam Deck right now.
