Video: Abusive Gears of War 2 multiplayer

If you're on the hunt for a few minutes of Gears of War 2 multiplayer footage, we recommend you watch the gory-delicious video above.

IGN put together a nice Gears 2 multiplayer preview video that takes a look at all the new (and old) matchmaking game modes, a preview of some of the new maps, gameplay from the Horde mode and an interesting fountain of razor hail. Painful razor hail. Watch the vid, it's Gears, fall in love.

seriously im starting to get pissed off at these loser editors who arent real gears of war players. they arent any good at it, havent played it since the first week it came out, and have no idea about how multiplayer actually played out in the first. we hardcore gamers want to know how the changes affect how the game is balanced and how it plays out in comparison to the first. dont give me any bs about the rules of the games. i want specifics:

how does the proxy nade affect gameplay
do stunning smoke grenades unbalance things?
do people whore it?

how do weapon swaps work with the new "power weapons"

how does the lobby system work for both matchmaking and player matches?

any info about bots???

the list goes on. give us REAL info!!

JerkfacedFed, you are my hero.

Why can't at least ONE of these sites have someone that actually played GoW1 past week 1 get do their hands on impression?

And for the love of god, how the hell have we STILL not had anyone tell us wtf the sniper active reload does now that it's not a 1-shot down anymore?

I wasn't even that interested in GOW2 until I picked up the original again. Still a lot of fun

Yeah, I've seen most of that footage before, but it still makes me more and more excited. Damn, the wait is killing me. At least I will have Fallout to get me by in a week and a half. That should do the trick.

I wanna see the original redone maps in action! Stop showing the one with the big seeder in the middle!!!

Also, I hope there is a map thats small like War Machine and Raven Down. I like me some shotgun fests every now and then. :)

DAMMIT DOUG, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

LOL I'm kidding. You're a great guy. Really. But to answer your stupid, stupid question for a moment- yes. Yes it can be turned off.

Blood > Sparks. Write that down.

Doug said...

I am crying sparks right now.

10-16-2008 @ 4:22PM

xFenixKnightx said...

Yes Doug, yes it can.

Umm...nah ;)

Not a chance.

MGS4 was REALLY fun for about 15 hours.

Gears of War was REALLY fun for about 1500 hours.

WTF no execution????? That was the only mode I played.
First Saints Row 2 doesn't add protect the pimp now Gears gets rid of execution.

I hate warzone, once you were down you could be taken out from across the map. I like having to take that chance of moving in for the kill.

Akuma said...

There is Execution in Gears of War 2, don't worry because then i don't even know what i would play too...Warzone sucks. But the only thing thay bugs me...is that when you tap A u can crawl around as u get up? in Execution? Maybe they disable the crawling in Execution?

Vcize said...

Several previews have mentioned that it does have execution. They just brush it aside because none of these previewers actually played the first game for more than a couple days and don't realize that that's the game mode most have been playing for the last 2 years.
