Who's ready for some more bloody carnage in Gears of War 2?

I know I am! I just hope the single player story is better this time round and the MP is less buggy.

Single player on the PC was good, no idea why they didn't update the console version though =/

my hoover chainsaw will be back! MUHHAHAHAHAHAAA

No seriously I will be picking it up, but not at launch, so depending on how active the OCUK MP scene is after a month..

Can't believe how long it's been since GOW1 came out.

Hopefully it will be like the CoD4 lot, there's still a very active OcUK group playing that, and since gears is a far more team and socially oriented game it should be even more popular

didnt like the 1st one so not excited about number 2 really.

This is gonna be sweeeeeet!

Me, Alrik and Krono are going to need 2 regulars to join us in our American bashing. I imagine Miss K will be joining us most of the time but we need a 5th!

Alrik · 19 Sep 2008 at 19:37

Kreeeee believe me, even with the player limit at 10 now we will still fill the room virtually every night. Plus now they have a matchmaking system in place so we can go in as a group of 5 against randoms.

Miss K kicked my bum so many times at GoW 1, and I still remember Kreeee used to go the same character every time! Oh and Alrik was a beast at the game

Count me in, I'll be around playing this lots and lots!

I'll kick it with you guys.

btw, if someone leaves a game, I think bots take their place. That was the biggest problem in the last gears, players leaving.

Gears problem this time around will be COD5. The online in 5 will just be a tweaked 4 and extremely popular. 5 people just wont cut it for regular match making i'm afraid. For me I reckon it will be COD5 when lots of bodies are online and gears when there are just a few.

The only way I see gears working is in 5v5 friends matches if the kills count to the unlocks, otherwise people lose interest sadly.

I'm more interested in Gears co-op tbh and playing through again hopefully with Alrik like the last one.
