If you live in the Seattle area and find yourself dreaming of
dead Locust scum on a daily basis, then you may be interested in a
Gears of War 2 play session being set up by Microsoft at the Experience Music Project|Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame. This Friday, Microsoft will open the doors and allow the first 800 people (who are 17 and older, of course) to enjoy one of the new maps on offer in the newly announced
All Fronts compilation. There will also be a
Gears creator panel featuring
Epic Games president Dr. Michael Capps and lead writer Joshua Ortega.
The event will be limited to just the 800 people, so Microsoft suggests you show up much earlier than the 8pm PT starting time (the event will run until 11pm PT). We suggest you bust out the WD-40, because you don't want to go into battle without a well-oiled Lancer.

Microsoft and Epic care. They like money you know. The several million Gears fans out there might also have somewhat of an interest in it too. :)

Maybe for you it has and that's fine. Plenty of other people (myself included) still enjoy a few rounds of Horde or multiplayer every once in a while (and yeah, it works fine so don't even bother with that tired, old line).

I agree. This new DLC is a money-grab. We have 7-8 new maps already... for a game that the average person cannot play MP because there is no balancing. I'm a level 5 and I'm put up against teams of level 35's. No one I know plays Gears 2 MP.

but it really isnt that fun

"That's not all, as there will also be a Gears creator panel featuring Epic Games president Dr. Michael Capps and lead writer Joshua Ortega to enjoy."
That sounds disturbingly naughty!
