Yes, there is more Gears of War 2 beta footage to feast your eyes upon (again pulled from ThisIsGame.com and uploaded to YouTube by AnalogHype). It's amazing, almost as amazing as the fact that the other two Gears of War 2 beta videos are still online. There are a few tasty bits in this one. We get to see the Locust version of the UFC-style punching execution for one. Perhaps most interesting is the instance of an interrupted chainsaw duel. As a Locust and COG duel it out (at around 2:45 in the video), a second Locust interrupts with his own chainsaw, thus disrupting the duel, scoring a kill and ensuring that his buddy lives to tell the tale. A beta tester then shouts "duelus interruptus." We think that's going to catch on.
And its weirdos like you that make GoW annoying. All the pubescent fanboys and their squeaky voiced love for "teh chix" really pisses me off. Particularly when a host gets mad at you for making the girl on their team angry. And pouty. And hurt feelings ish. Cuz I said they were a bitch. Which I say to many persons, regardless of Sex, or actual bitchiness level, for that matter.
Its a catch all anger phrase, particularly when you're chainsawed for the 9th time by a noob who couldn't hold your jock. But hes on the hosts squad in a particularly glitchy room, so as he zig zag walks up on you with a chainsaw revving and you unload half of all your shotty shells into his skipping and glitching barely-blinking face, and he still chainsaws me anyway, if I yell Bitch - don't automatically assume I give a shit about you.
Precisely the reason why I played player matches with friends ONLY for an entire summer last year.
The game really shines when you don't have a drunken southerner, or "TRUE GANGSTERZ", or a little kid yelling in your ear.
Anyway, this looks pretty much exactly like the first Gears, but with all the improvements I could have asked for from the first one.
5v5 obviously is a tremendous upgrade, as well as new executions to ensure variety, new guns, maps...
Not to mention that RIDICULOUS looking single player.
Graphics don't seem to be too different. Not much anyway where I could tell without a screen comparison, but I suppose Gears of War is still on the cutting edge of console graphics.
I don't know the game doesn't look that interesting but then again I wasn't a fan of the first one. Looks like your standard (Third person?)FPS with (normally) good graphics.

Looks like an xbox has red ringed in the top left. Only bad thing about xbox though.
