According to AddictGaming.com - who had a chance to chat with the one and only Cliff Bleszinski - they learned that the Skorge will be a character in multiplayer but will be tweaked a bit to maintain some balance. Specifically, the Skorge's dual chainsaw staff will NOT be usable in Gears 2 multiplayer. We are also informed that the Skorge will be the final enemy encountered in Gears' Horde mode, making an appearance at level 50. Huzzah!

i still think they shoulda just called em Skaarj.

Skarrj is pronounced "scar" and Skorge is pronounced "skorge"...also, we don't want to mix the Unreal universe with the Gears universe or make some silly 'homages' here.

wow man, you can pronounce words like its your job! in lieu of your excellence in eloquence, and yes, Epic's implicit homages... they look just about the same.

my job? Skarrj is how the creators of Unreal 3 pronounce his name. it's story integral.
just because they look the same doesn't mean they SHOULD.

If there was any advantage to using a character in multiplayer it might make the news more interesting. When the whole thing is merely aesthetics it's cool but kind of meh...

So... what's up with the crotch shot? New playable character Britney Spears!

What I like best about the character designs like Skorge in Gears 2 is how much the artists are inspired by the art that Brom did for TSR's Dark Sun role-playing game from 15 years ago.

Why doesnt Skorge have all of his battle armor on in Multiplayer? Skorge would look so much cooler if he had all of his armor on!!
