The game is ruined. Guess noobs will be happy though, they were able to yet again take a game that was originally good and nag game developers to lessen the skill margin and implement noobish ways to get a kill.

Dude, STFU.. You have posted in so many threads saying how horrible this game is going to be and how it is for noobs. I dont even know if your posts make any sense. I just think you like to say the word noob. Blah blah blah noob blah blah blah noobish blah blah blah noobs. Sleep [S]


Yeah buddy. Rollin like a big shot.

New weapon Scorcher (Flamethrower) "most realistic fire in a game we've ever seen"
-5 vs 5
-Assasination gametype altered. everyone respawns until their leader is dead. when the leader is killed they stop rewpawing and the game ends when everyone is dead on one team.
-Assasination renamed 'Guardian'.
-New gametype 'Wingman' 10 players split into teams of two.each team is played as different character (eg marcus and marcus vs Dom and Dom etc)

-Features Matchmaking
-Exectucions now vary on the weapon you holding (eg sniper rifle will be used like a golf club)
-Curb stomp returns
-'Y' will cause your character to unleach several brutal punches to a downed enemy, killing him.
-'A' will cause you to pick up the enemy and use him as a shield. The player your using as a shield will go to the respawn line.
-New gametype 'meatflag' sort of like CTF but epic have done this in their own way. The flag will instead be character wandering around the centre of the map. He has his own weapons and even a place on the leaderboard.
To capture him you will need to down him and pick him up as a meatshield and take him back, slowly, to your base. If you shoot the meatflag enough times while he's being dragged back to base, his captor will loose him and he'll go crazy on everyone around him.

-Specific weapons will cycle round the maps.
-Stopping power - if your running towards an enemy but he is firing straight into your chest, you will slow down.
-The oppurtunity to spawn with either the lancer or hammerburst.
-Hammerburst gone through significant alterations. The faster you tap the the right trigger, the faster it fires. quicker shooting = more recoil however.

-New weapon Medusa. could be considered a power weapon. 6 shots per burst.
-Bullet shields. big metal shield that stops you from getting hit. can be planted into the ground to make a new cover. enemies can kick it down though if they get close enough.
-Grenades can be stuck anywhere. not just on enemies. they can be planted on the ground,walls,doors etc to produce a proximity mine.
-smoke grenades carry a stun effect that ragdolls anyone in range.
-new weapon poison gas grenade. produces a cloud of smoke that kills anything that lingers in it. they can be stuck onto enemies were the will slowly die. people stuck by the gas grenade can also injure team-mates if the get too close.

-On games with no respawn, when you are dead you can fly around the map as a "ghost cam". You can even take screenshots that will be uploaded to the community.
-Gridlock returns. However its more overgrown now, plants and grass growing.
(everything is still the same though- cars are where they where etc)
-New map - 'river' - symetrical map, each team has a thin strip of land with a house and sniping tower, and inbetween them a river.
-New map - 'Security' - long thin map. to the left and right are stairs leading to veranda's that run the entire length of the map. you are barred access however by red lasers, which will kill you if attempting to pass through. A power weapon is barred on the other side of the map while at the other it is defended by sentry guns. There is a button in the middle of the map that turns the lasers and sentry's off for 20 seconds.

-New locust 'hammerhead' (helmet makes him look sorta like a hammerhead shark)
-New locust 'Grenadier' (this is the guy we saw in the video were marcus punches him to death)
-Two people can chainsaw one guy at the same time.
-New cog 'Tai' has aboriginal tattoo's.
-New cog 'Dizzy' "looks like chuck Norris"
-Cole returns for multiplayer at least.

Looks like Gears was a one hit wonder.  Shields?  3 new power weapons?  Map specific weapons?  They made grenades more powerful?  Smoke grenades stun?

It's going to be a giant noobfest.  I probably won't even buy it now.

Well I am sorry to hear that. You will surely be missed by the millions of us that do play it.


Yeah buddy. Rollin like a big shot.

I'll still be pissed if it's client based (ie: bullet lag)

Not sure if you are attacking or actually asking,you post without content.I voiced my opinion on a great new version of GOW and you flame me(I guess thats what its called),its hard to say because your posts are incomplete.I tried to respond with the same lame incompleteness.If you really would like to know follow the link,the only comparison I can make is the ones you posted probably don't pay.This thread is not about who's website is better tho,I believe its about a sequel to a game.

The new additions sound awesome, but will there still be a huge host advantage??? If that's not solved, I'll probably pass on Gears 2. I have other multiplayer games that I still like, and don't really need one that gives one player a noticeable advantage over the others.

You'll pass on a game because of host advantage? Wow. If your so concerned just be the host yourself. Just because your host doesnt always mean you're better. There have been many hosts that have sucked and came in last place.

You really don't seem to understand. I don't care if the host sucks or not, they still have zero lag, and that gives them an advantage over everyone else in the room. It's the principle of the matter. Everyone should be the same and yes, I'll pass if it's as severe as the first one.

No I do understand. I just dont see how you would completely pass on a game because of that. yes, it was bad but that is still the game I play more than any other. Besides it will have single player also. I definetely let one bad thing turn you completely away from a game.


Yeah buddy. Rollin like a big shot.

 IF so ***

If you are marc emery you are a huge tool.  Way to set legalization in canada back 20 years from your stupidity and sell fake beans to every grower who ever ordered seeds from your website at 3-10 times the price that a reputable seedbank charges.
