Re: Gears of War 2

sell plasma. You can do it like twice a week I believe and if you did it 4-5 times, you'd probably have enough money to get the game.

Unfortunately I need my plasma. Football practice can be hell sometimes.

Re: Gears of War 2

Did they fix the ridiculous host advantage or is it going to be the same ol same ol. Thats probably the biggest factor involved in me getting the game.

Re: Gears of War 2

So this game is less than a month away? I had no idea...

I got bored with the first Gears pretty quickly, but with that said, I will be picking this up...lol

Re: Gears of War 2

What is the split screen break down of this game?

Split screen campaign mode only or can you do split screen online or split screen games modes like Horde mode as well?

Re: Gears of War 2

All modes are split-screen compatible. When playing in public games (against randoms) though, you can't have any guests, so you have to have 2 signed in gold accounts.

Public games? Do you mean ranked? I used to have a guest with me online back on the first Gears.

Yeah ranked games.

Re: Gears of War 2

So for the free maps, do you have to get the game on the 7th or just not by a used copy?

Re: Gears of War 2

I loved the first one so I'm definitely getting this one at launch if I can find it. Never played the multi-player on it though so I'll have to hit up some OS'ers for sure.

Doesn't matter when you get it, as long as it's a new copy.
