That looks freakin awesome- this game is going to be phenomenal. Epic is so freakin creative with their enemies. This is the most gorgeous game IMHO on consoles. The environments, like GoW, look to be ridiculously detailed.

Now with more storyline (that GI article says it puts Mass Effect's to shame), this game could be really epic (no pun intended).

At first I thought it was some weird deformed rock until I saw the head.

That's a Brumak and that scene isn't from Gears 2. That's from back when Epic was first showing off UE3.

I want to see what CliffyB says makes the Brumak look like a baby panda bear.

CliffyB is a cool dude- I'm sure he'll make it interesting

The Brumak looks awesome but I was disappointed with its skills. I owned it in the first game.

This one sounds way better than the first game.

Re: Gears of War 2

To be honest I wasnt a big fan of GOW 1. The game was so linear and got boring after playing into the story a couple of hours. I know that probably is not a popular view, but I just didnt see anything that revolutionary about the gameplay. Dont get me wrong the game was beautiful though.

Hopefully they can spice up the gameplay and make it feel a little more fresh.

I agree. I was obsessed with it when I first got it but I got burned out and it was pretty boring after awhile. After I beat it I sold it.

You aren't the only one. I hated the original game. I refuse to buy into the Cliffy B hype machine.

I found the campaign really fun. There was something hunkering down behind cover and blasting away till you got to that checkpoint and you realize just how much you had been into it. Had great fire fights to me.

Re: Gears of War 2

I enjoyed the Campaign too, especially Co-op. Multiplayer was fun for a few weeks, until the flaws became apparent. I really hope they added a matchmaking and party system this time around. Also, better netcode wouldn't hurt.

Re: Gears of War 2

I hated multiplayer too but loved the SP campaign, despite the storyline holes. That game was just flat out fun to play and challenging as hell. I stunk at the multiplayer too, so that may have played into it

I think the Unreal3 engine is going to have a huge impact on this game. I think I read in the article that they'll utilize some of the advantages offered by U3 to spice up multiplayer, which would be awesome.

Re: Gears of War 2

I guess the main reason that I never really liked it was because the multiplayer was crap and that's really where I get the majority of playtime from my shooters. The single player was still a fun co-op experience though, but they really need to improve the multiplayer this time around for me to buy it. Everything from adding a party/matchmaking system, to making the online play smoother, and to fixing the shotgun and it's complete randomness.
