Video: Gears of War 2 gameplay, cutscenes and achievement tracker
After the break, we've embedded two new Gears 2 videos that showcase some of the campaign's in-game footage including both Hospital and Landown missions. These new videos also show off some of the missions' cutscenes so, if you're uneasy about seeing even the slightest bit about the campaign, then these vids may not be for you. But if you're adventurous enough to watch, you'll see some amazing action, mortar madness, Ticker ticking, and achievement tracker tracking. Yummy yum yum!

SWEET! GoW 2 is so sick. Can't wait.
Have one question, though. What was that little box that popped up every time he curb stomped or had a head shot? It said, "Kick 'Em While They're Down". And the other was the head shot one.

That was the achievement tracker that everyone's so excited about. Whenever you do something that counts toward an achievement, it will show your progress to getting it.

That's the achievement counter thing... It just keeps track of your stats for the achievements.

It does look great. The achievement tracking is awesome, no more guessing if a kill counted or not. Should help in multiplayer games too.

I don't know if it's just my connection, but the videos were laggy as hell.
Sounds like it's a different women voicing Anya, though I can't really tell.

Nothing too spoilery in that, actually.
I really like how aggressive the Reavers are, dropping down to attack and then jumping back up into the air. It's nice that there will be some amount of challenge right off the bat (at least, that's how it's looking so far).

i'm not watching the video, but i noticed the achievement tracker in the previous Vid (the one showing the Skorge for the 1st time).
the achievement tracker is a great addition & should be standard in all games IMO - it was so handy in the Orange Box :) - would come in v.usefull for the Seriously 2.0 achievement :)

GRAW 1&2, Orange Box, and now Gears 2. Achievement tracking should be a standard feature some how.

Glad someone finally took Valve's take on the achievement tracker and implimented it into another game. That was one of the best features of the Orange Box besides the incredible subtitles that included sound directions.
