[Official] Gears of War 2

[DR3AMxCATCHER]

Oh well, like you said I just heard about it somewhere...I don't really care tbh. I just want the game to play and have some good ol times on xbl... :D

I'm just supporting the game that I love most. This game has brought me many good times and sadly has helped me when I've been down emotionally. This is a game that deserves to be Limited Edition and is worth the $73.50 I've already paid off just as the first Gears of War was.

I will be attending the Midnight Launch as well and want to be first to get my copy and get home quickly.

It was 'Preordered' an hour or so ago. If they send it early enough tomorrow I may still be able to get it on Thursday. It's happened once before, anyway. It depends how they decide to send it. I won't be holding my breath though lol.

I really doubt it tbh, Play aren't the speediest of e-tailers. They can be very random though as I've ordered from them one day and received my purchase the next day. Other times orders have come a day late and longer.

I've never had a package arrive late, but as I said, they have sent at least one game on next-day recorded delivery so it's not completely impossible :p

I was hoping the game would come out today, but it doesn't come out till friday.. :(

As it's the CE you ordered, would they not send it recorded delivery?

I know Play usually use 2nd class postage, but that may be different under certain circumstances.

They do next-day recorded now? Since when?

I bought my PS3 triggers from them, posted today apparently so I'm interested to see how long it takes.

Sorry, not recorded, I meant I could track it. I didn't have to sign for it, but I could follow it through the various depots overnight.

Not sure how many people have heard about this, but I just saw it on 1Up.com. Circuit City has a sweet deal going on for people that pre-order Gears of War 2. You get a free 1600 MS Point card for pre-ordering the game. I just got off the phone with them (took like 20mins because i could barely understand the guy i was talking to). Anyway, here's the links:

Definitely worth it for those that haven't pre-ordered the game yet.

does anyone know that is the Horde mode only on live? Can you do a co-op Horde mode offline?

I think you can, just head to LAN mode and start horde from there (Just a guess) but I'll ask my friends anyway, a couple of them got it early and saw them playing last night :wacko:

Yeah you can do it split screen or over LAN.

ah thanks man.. it'd be cool if you can though.

Omg then I can't wait!

My Gears of War 2 Limited Edition for ?39 delivered just got dispatched from Zavvi, Fingers crossed for thursday delivery!

[Brad.]

Omg then I can't wait!

It's great, however better when you have a screen to yourself :p

[what]

Looks a bit better in that screenshot, but after seeing it look like something from Fort Knox in IGNs video review, I'm not convinced. I think I'll have to see it in HD right in front of me before I make my decision whether or not I'll be using this.

Indeed and I can't wait for Gears of War 2 to come out :(, anyone wanna go through Gears of War 1 co-op just to kill some time? :pinch: :rofl:

I'm tempted to sell my Wii to put towards a 360 for this game and Left4Dead.

That would be a wise choice. I sold my Wii about 6 months ago and haven't regretted it one bit. Of course, it does help when you have 360 and PS3 lol

[Brad.]

I just hate the idea of gold guns all together.

CoD4 did a good job though.

[Matrix XII]

What's this about gold guns? :|

An achievement or something?

[AimLXJ]

If you buy the Limited Edition it comes with a code to redeem that grants you access to the golden Lancer for multiplayer usage.

**EDIT**

I asked one of my friends who got it early and said you can start horde mode offline.

My LE copy from Zavvi still says 'In Progress'

WTF!

[Razorwing]

Hey guys I have another question, what time do you guys usually go for Midnight Releases? And does it matter if you pre-ordered or not? I still don't see the point of pre-ordering if you stand in line and ARE going to get the game anyway..
