So, my brother and I just beat this game last night in co-op. I must say, it's my current favorite 360 game so far. Everything thing about is so much better than the original and I had a blast (literally and figuratively).

We're special :p

I've not done it myself but I've heard when you are in kill cam there is an option to do it.

edit: no more 33Brad? :( lawl

Hmmm, fair enough :p

What's kill cam? When you die in horde? :wacko:

And yes, no more 33Brad, rofl.

I'll be on sometime today guys, probably going to jump back into the campaign. Instead of the COG tags this time around, I like actually learning more about the story with those journal entries filling that spot. Really polished all around.

Sadly though, it seemed like the campaign was lagging (FPS wise) quite a bit yesterday on multiple levels so I'm not sure what is up with that. I installed it to HD now so I will see if that makes any difference.

I almost did that... thankfully I caught myself. I accidentally moved one of the sticks and almost pressed it.

As someone who likes getting achievements, I love the ones in Gears of War 2 so far... they're all attainable and fun to get. Seriously 2.0 is going to take a long time, along with the 1999 rounds, but they're all still fun.

Story's much better than the first, IMO... I don't have a problem with the story, personally. I don't see why people consider it bad... just not that in-depth. But the game also assumes you know everything about the war, just as Half-Life 2 does ;)

in kill cam - the way you are able to view the game when dead, press the B button, you view these in the journal

Yup, then if you get a good one, just press Y to upload it, then sign into your Windows Live ID on gearsofwar.com and visit the 'My Photos' section to save them to your gallery or your PC.

I haven't played online yet (dorm connection sucks and I have the NXE and am not in the program), but is it really true you can't have guests because there are no player matches? And that matchmaking is the only option -- ranked only?

As far as I have found out no guests. While I complained earlier, I thought about it for a while and realized it was a better decision on their part. In the original it was separated into player (you can have guests) and ranked (no guests). If my friends and I wanted to ever play ranked, it turned out to be always against insanely good people. We would try just player matches but it would always be glitchers and people screwing around.

This time around, it is all condensed so you will play against good people and bad. If people do screw around, you can actually coordinate bad feedback against them etc. If you want to play with guests, stick to Horde I guess.

Yeh basicly no matchmaking for guests :( but i think theyre allowed in private matches (custom games) it is a bit annoying that theres no unranked, but its a bit dumb you can't have guests

actually anyone know if guests allowed in wingman? coz thats the only other playlist i can see them being allowed into

and indeed, the cool parts of the game are EPIC :woot:

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
