Here she is kids, EGM and GameVideos.com's exclusive Gears of War 2 multiplayer video reveal and she's a hefty 16+ minute video too. Of course, it isn't 16 minutes of pure Gears 2 multiplayer carnage (though, that doesn't sound half bad), the in-game footage is sprinkled throughout the video interview with Mr. Cliff Bleszinski who is surrounded by nature, chatting about game features, host advantage, the god-mode animation and all kinds of Gears 2 goodness you want to know. But fret not, there's still a bunch of Gears 2 multiplayer footage including bloody action from the newly improved Gridlock, a view from the battle cam (it's suh-weet!), the flamethrower and new executions. Just watch, we'll discuss later.

why does this sound alot like halo?
no clan support, trueskill, trying to fix host advantage.. theres others but ill just stick to those
MDJ2010 @ Jun 25th 2008 1:22PM
Good Golly Miss Molly!!!! WOW WOW and WOW!!!! That new map they kept showing looks like its going to be a big favourite when the game is released! Love the new game mode ideas! Hopefully the environment effected multiplayer maps will be better than what they tried on Gears1, I thought the garden map became an annoyance having to turn off the gas to get the sniper!!!! Overall though looks like its gonna be money well spent!!!!!
Jay900 @ Jun 25th 2008 1:33PM

Vcize @ Jun 25th 2008 2:15PM

where was the footage of gears 2 though? what they showed looked exactly like gears 1.
elmersglue @ Jun 25th 2008 2:21PM
oh the irony of your name and what i'm about to say....
There definitely is a substantial difference in the level of gore and the overall level of polish. It seems like they're trying to push the envelope in terms of how bloody,gory, and meaty the game is while giving the environment a more rugged/run down look.
In terms of pure graphical improvements, gears 1 looked amazing, so any minor improvements they make in gears 2 will be icing on the cake. I'm not expecting jaw dropping changes simply because it was already as good as one would expect from this generation on the 360.

I think they're doing the sort of thing Halo did.
#1 was the masterpiece
#2 improved upon and fixed a lot of things that was wrong with the first
#3 add new elements but stay true to the original formula
Nevertheless I'm pumped for this game.
monkeywithnoeyes @ Jun 25th 2008 6:10PM
well i said it because i do feel let down by the graphical look to multiplayer.. not gameplay, none of us have played it yet. But from a glance theres nowhere near the polish to multiplayer thats present in the recently released single player screens.

Man this looks like it could keep me playing it for a lot longer the GOW1 did. Can't wait. Good Job EPIC By the way I have Gears of War picture autographed by Mark and Major from X06 and will need to update to Gears 2 when it's out. I'll sell it if anyone wants it (DUSTIN I'm talking to you) Gamertag is MyGirlHatesBox.

nice low-key shot at halo 3 about the maps cliffy lol
Van Faulk @ Jun 25th 2008 2:13PM
I don't think it was to halo 3. It shipped with more maps than gears 1 did.
I think it was a shot at RFOM, which shipped with 6.
Vcize @ Jun 25th 2008 2:13PM
Noooooooooooooooooooo I'm stuck at work :\
Azshros @ Jun 25th 2008 2:16PM

In game tracking for multiplayer achievements is awesome.
I'm officially looking forward to this game.
Vcize @ Jun 25th 2008 2:30PM
Sweet. That should be mandatory in every game. They have to track it anyways, so the only extra work that's involved is actually showing it to you.
B @ Jun 25th 2008 2:35PM
wham bam thank you mam
Ben @ Jun 25th 2008 2:45PM
Gearsplosion! I can't wait to pick this game up.
dylan @ Jun 25th 2008 3:38PM
Fenix wins... Fatality!
Am I the only one who thinks they are turning this game into an FPS version of Mortal Kombat?
RyanBlack @ Jun 25th 2008 3:42PM
I think you're the only one considering its not a FPS.
dylan @ Jun 25th 2008 4:20PM
touche, TPS seems like something for my bunghole though...
Jayslacks @ Jun 25th 2008 3:44PM
Mansplosion. Hey, Dustin. Are you still alive after all that? Hello?
Dustin Burg @ Jun 25th 2008 4:28PM

Arnon @ Jun 25th 2008 5:09PM
Yup.. I'm officially freaking out now.
italiansmoke @ Jun 25th 2008 6:20PM
