The Official/Unofficial [delete as appropriate] Gears of War 2 Thread

By trying to garantee the game will get delivered on time, they have to send them out a bit early. Generally this means a large %age recieve the game early, but means very few will recieve it late.

It happens a lot. I've recieved three games a day early in the past 7 days. :D

Have you never pre-ordered over the internet before? My games always turn up one or two days early.

They post them early to allow time for the postal system, luckily the post is generally very quick so we tend to get the game the next day.
 
As usual, my Gears turned up a day early today. We've had a power outage here in Harrow, Middx and everyone has only just come on! Now do I play Gears tonight or some Fable....hmmm...
 
Is co-op working for anyone? Getting nothing but failures here.

Edit: Sorted.

Sticky walls :p

I find that its nowhere near as bad as the first game. It feels like I no longer have a magnet jammed up my ass that gets attracted to the nearest object. I'm only speaking from a SP perspective so I'm sure there is still time for it to happen once I start playing MP :p
 
Doing co-op with a mate. The wall clingyness is a lot better in this, you just push back to uncling from a wall/object as opposed to before.

Edit: omfg @ game :o :D The early bits are the dogs proverbial nubbins!

Went in today and they wouldn't let me have it despite they called me saying they had it in stock ready to pick up :mad:.

But they're having a midnight launch, anyone going to the launch in the Chester Area Town?

Not sure really, i got a Soundtrack and keyring with my Fallout 3 pre-order as an extra so hopefully i should get something similar with the Gears 2 pre-order but im not holding my breath.

If they do it wont be specific to the midnight launch, i'll be turning up at 12:00 and being the last in the que it's not usually that big :D.
 
Been playing this for a few hours today and its Great,I enjoyed the first one but it got abit repetitive and boring,but so far this one has been all action and is really addictive.The graphics are real nice,and the cut scenes are awesome.
 
well so far this is turning out to be a sequal that may actually be better than the original. I've only played the first campaign of act 1 and a few rounds of horde but omg this game is awesome. Although the visuals look very similar to the first one which still look awesome to this day the joy of grenade tagging is so much better now seeing the locust blown apart into little pieces.

I also like how there are in game updates for the various achievements so at least now you know how many times you have to do an active reload to get this achievement or kill a few thousand more locust to get that achievement.
 
Just finished some co-op for the night. Got up to what I reckon is the midway point. All I can say is they have addressed every complaint about Gears 1. The game does still stutter during access - not much can be done about that.

All the stunning detail is still there, there are now more characters and a better group/team feel as you play the game. More 'big bad's' are present and in greater numbers....

The engine seems miles more fluid than Gears 1, so its safe to say a lot of work has been done. To be honest, I am shocked that they got this much action out of the 360's hardware. They've (Epic/Cliff & Co) once again pushed the boundaries forward on 360 development.
