[Official] Gears of War 2


Recommended Posts

I will hopefully have it on Saturday, decided to save $20 so am waiting for it through Gamefly, but they shipped it this morning at 8:20 AM.

For anyone who might not have it and was waiting to buy it in store, I saw a commercial just before that Friday & Saturday Circuit City has a deal, if you buy the game you get a free card for 1600 MS Points, pretty damn good deal.

I would have definitely done that if I didn't have $25 in gift certificates towards Target. :pinch:

yeah, I'm a be hittin' up CC after school with that in mind and a ten dollar giftcard for buying Dead Space.

Yeah!! Saving the monies, one at a time.

Well it's finally here. Gonna pick this one up in the morning.. It's gonna be a few weeks before Left 4 Dead releases. This will keep me busy :)

It was a long dilemma but I finally narrowed my 2 games for this holiday.

Agreed (Y)

hahaha! This I gotta see!

Just got back from Gamestop. I got the game with the XBL codes for the gold hammerburst and the GoW2 NXE theme, and a GS exclusive comic that tells some of the story between GoW1 and 2. About to pop the game in and play the night away :D

-Spenser

I wish the order copies of GoW2 came with those stuff :[, apparantly mines still sitting in Arizona and should arrive within.... 18 hours, 10 hours if I'm lucky :(

Hmmm, I have ?38 worth of CEX Vouchers so may wait until they have it in store then play on my bro's xbox. Only thing is I'll then not have a gamesave when I play on my new xbox. *Sigh* I'll just play online:pp

Just gotta wait for someone to trade it in xD

If anyone has a spare Gold Hammerburst code could you send it to me in a PM cos I would love one but ordered it online so didn't go to a midnight launch.

Thanks in advance!

I can't see anyone giving it to you for free after waiting in line at midnight for it...

Lots of people playing Horde now. Every map is a different challenge, and with 15 to choose from it's going to take a while to get bored :p Haven't had a chance to play competitive MP yet lol.

I'll send you a FR in a sec. What we could do is run a private Neowin party so that people can join and leave as they please. If you do public you have to wait until the next game to join which can be a pain since each Wave lasts at least 90 seconds, rising to 2 minutes at Wave 8 and beyond...

    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
    • I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
