Rumor: Gears 2 details and map revealed.

• Unreal 3.5 engine
• 4 new weapons
• Twice as big as the previous game
• Controllable Air Vehicles
• New methods of Melee
• No ****ing time to catch your breath
• New action set pieces
• Outdoor environments to include battlefield wars

wow. I don't know how else to put it. I absolutely loved Gears single and multiplayer and seeing these new details about GOW 2 makes me want it right now. Nice to see them adding new weapons but I hope the old ones remain the same if not very similar to the original.

Gears co-op was a blast. I'm a Halo homer normally, but Gears co-op was more fun for me. I stink at 3rd person shooters and it carried over to GoW, so I got owned in multiplayer like the n00b I am.

Re: GDC: Are Microsoft, Epic Getting Their Gears Turning?

What I hated about multiplayer other than no respawning was that most times people would run to get the hammer of dawn, then the match would pretty much be over.

or try a map w/o the hammer. I like mansion, that first one i can't remember, and blackhawk down, and the car-crash one. A lot of the maps suck, but some are good...i never played any map w/ the hammer. The online played fantastic w/ min. lag and huge omfg moments. the key is getting surgical w/ the shotgun (and never actually left trigger aiming w/ it.
