Gears of War 2 Details! "No party system would be a pretty big %^&up" Written Wednesday, May 14, 2008 by Alan Pettit I've gone ahead and read a few articles from the likes of 360 Fanboy, Joystiq, etc. and decided to compile everything I've found into one neat little article for you fine folks here at x360a... bullet-point syle, my favorite! I've put some of the most interesting ones up top.
Oh, and don't forget the "Journal" that will keep track of your achievements. However, they have also said they will be taking an active role to avoid boosting, by only allowing one kill per weapon per match to count for the achievements. Now, I think this is a small hinderence and will just result in shorter boosting matches. If there are five available weapons, people will just get one kill with each for every person in the boosting match, then end the match and go start another. If they really want to put a stop to boosting in ranked matches, they need to either not have online achievements (COD4, anyone?) or allow the use of private player matches. | |

 | Comment #1 by Orbitron Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:28:55 PM Carmine is back?! Omg this is awesome. |
 | Comment #2 by JBURNICLE Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:31:28 PM Yay Carmine is still alive! & wtf is up with 1kil per weapon counting towards achievements sounds pretty stupid to me. |
 | Comment #3 by Dark Aspire Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:31:29 PM OMG> Awesome. |
 | Comment #4 by chefan93 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:31:34 PM I'm sooooooo glad they're adding the party system |
 | Comment #5 by Bleeding Star Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:32:08 PM sounds cool, Locust Carmine maybee? Also Im pretty sure you could kill people while they were executing in Gears 1, Ive been headshot many times in mid curb stomp |
 | Comment #6 by Pointless Dan Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:32:59 PM Sounds like lots of good stuff, would have like more than 5v5 online, but you can't have it all I guess. And after all the net rumours, Carmine returns... ah dear. |
 | Comment #7 by gravest_jimmy Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:36:20 PM probably going to have flash backs or training with carmine in, ohwell he was cool, but whats up with the 1 kill weapon thing, sounds allright i guess, but i still dont know, ill need to see the achievements befor i jump the gun |
 | Comment #8 by Bax x360a Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:37:23 PM Everyone of those bullet points are insanely good, they really are - being able to crawl to cover when you're down is going to be one hell of a feature!! It's the best game ever and I haven't even played it yet lol |
 | Comment #9 by True Mister Six Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:52:15 PM Loving the party system & 5v5 but am a little unsure about the anti - boosting system... I've never boosted on Gears in my life and would like not to be penalised and have kills NOT count because others do. |
 | Comment #10 by voorhees88 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:54:37 PM looking good, it's won't be the original carmine, maybe his brother or some kinda reltaion. It would be funny if he dies in this one as well! |
 | Comment #11 by Davincie Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 05:59:29 PM Just read that achievements will be gottable in both Multi and Singleplayer, so no more boosting! |
 | Comment #12 by m-iichel Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:02:40 PM i love the game and the announced features,, but WTF is up with the 1 kill weapon per round thingy :S i just hope there aint any 100 kills with a certain weapon achievements :S those achievements of gow1 and the 10.000 kills are the ones i still need:@ F****ed up achievements !! |
 | Comment #13 by Chorley Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:13:45 PM that one kill per match thing sucks, im guessing they will still be 100 kills so now we'll need to play 100 matches for each weapon achievement?!?!!?!!!! |
 | Comment #14 by yeah23 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:17:56 PM bullshit thing |
 | Comment #15 by kiwi18 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:19:55 PM awesome news |
 | Comment #16 by Sk8er_0208 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:26:48 PM I may actually buy this one and like it, the first one i only liked the story. Hopefully there won't rubbish multiplayer like mroe than 4 people a team and respawns. Also I think they should take away the weapon kills they where just stupid in the first one there was so many and that meant got hardly any gamerscore :( |
 | Comment #17 by Segnius Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:30:16 PM That's an incredibly stupid way of stopping people from boosting weapon kills. |
 | Comment #18 by BTHR Zero X Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:30:43 PM carmine is back wooo i knew some one went up to him and pressed X i knew it |
| Comment #19 by Sk8er_0208 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:31:09 PM and also about carmine that strage how he can still be alive. Maybe the bullet just got lodged in his helmet... dosn't explain pool of blood though, or maybe its like james bond the bullets in his ehad and now he feels no pain. sorry for double post |
 | Comment #20 by RonanN1 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:33:39 PM Carminie is revived by Tai Kaliso, who is a spiritual and meditative warrior from a tradition of honor-bound fighters.... |
 | Comment #21 by MCSS Aerocoupe Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:34:45 PM "Oh my God! They killed Carmine!" |
 | Comment #22 by jumpinjonny Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:35:23 PM whats the point of having weapon kill achivements anyway they are pointless and stupid |
 | Comment #23 by SolvingJunk Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:35:55 PM Still, after the host advantage fest that was GOW 1 nothing so far has gotten me deep into GOW 2. |
 | Comment #24 by Shizelbs Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:36:35 PM Can't wait. Really happy about the party system being included. Long live CliffyB |
 | Comment #25 by XxDisturbed85xX Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:37:01 PM oppening this game when i first get it is going to be like an orgasim to me as bad as that sounds lol. i cant wait |
 | Comment #26 by Creech Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:37:44 PM The weapon kills sounds like how they treated the Windows port of the game... |
 | Comment #27 by dragonboyandy Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:38:20 PM This game just gets better and better. Roll on November, and try not to spoil the story too much! I don't know about anyone else, but I'm actually looking forward to playing this all day and all night when it finally arrives and find out the story for myself! |
 | Comment #28 by xxBlack Perilxx Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:43:05 PM Awesome |
 | Comment #29 by III Curtis III Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:43:05 PM http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/05/14/gow2-details-multiplayer-vehicles-carmines-back/ look at that vid that is amazing! |
 | Comment #30 by rubberchicken69 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:44:41 PM eh i could care less about carmine, i actually think having a party system is a big fuck up. but thats just me. that bucket of blood feature is cool so you can know where the enemy is at. and 1 kill per weapon for the achievement??? THATS a big FUCKUP seriously no one even boosts on ranked matches, and if they do then just dont cooperate and kill them |
| Comment #31 by N00B EATA Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:52:40 PM COD4 devs are smart that they didnt have any online achievements...boosting ruins the experience for everyone and they should do only campaign achievements. |
 | Comment #32 by xTHSx Rascal Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:52:50 PM carmine isnt a person is he thought all soldiers on gow like people that have no relivance to the game looked like carmine????? |
| Comment #33 by xTHSx Rascal Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:55:56 PM no ach online is gay thats why i got bored of cod4 fast im no ach whore but i like to aim for something when playing ranked or you might aswell play player imo only thing that was good about cod4 was campain |
 | Comment #34 by Z3R0 S1X Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:55:56 PM Why do developers try to 'boost proof' a game? People will still find ways to do it even if it takes longer. If they are really going to make it one kill per weapon per round, they shouldn't put in an achievement like 'Seriously...' or any weapons based ones as they would take to long to get! |
 | Comment #35 by Bitis1078 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:55:56 PM That really sucks because I am garbage at the torque and hammer, but occasionally I will get in a match and do well with that weapon. I just played a match and got 3 torque kills, but on the new system only one of these will count???? That sucks! I like the party system, and graphically this game is awesome. Beheading with the torque is a really cool idea also. |
 | Comment #36 by Sooty172 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 06:57:31 PM The 1 kill per weaopon per game is just like the pc version! |
 | Comment #37 by J1MmY295 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:00:36 PM BTHR Zero, that was funny as hell. Gears2 will still be awesome and it was a guy further up said is true, the achievements can be gotten in sp too. So, no complaints from me. As long as it don't fail to be great like GTA 4 |
 | Comment #38 by Lord Xanatos17 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:06:02 PM It's an ok idea that they wanted to eliminate boosting. But the way they did it kind of sucks. |
 | Comment #39 by JesusBread Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:07:19 PM Woot Carmine. always play as him. Would be mad if he didn't come back. |
 | Comment #40 by lepricorn Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:15:26 PM i cant wait ths is gunna be the best |
 | Comment #41 by Ritual Beating Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:16:32 PM If they wanna stop boosting, don't put really unreachable numbered kill goals in your achievements |
 | Comment #42 by vVv Fang vVv Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:24:02 PM This is gonna be the sickest game EVER! |
| Comment #43 by rubberchicken69 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:29:11 PM no its like this guys. if theres an achievement for 100 kills w/ torque bow if you get 10 kills with the torque bow in a game, only one of those torque bow kills will count towards the seriously |
 | Comment #44 by Thorpe Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:34:59 PM 4 player co-op sounds sweet. |
 | Comment #45 by Axe Argonian Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:35:07 PM Maybe you get an Achievement called, "Die Already!" for killing a locust-possessed Carmine. |
| Comment #46 by Axe Argonian Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:36:11 PM Damn be to this game's MP Achievements. |
 | Comment #47 by Zero Steve Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:38:17 PM I LOVE GEARS |
 | Comment #48 by Elfire313 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:43:45 PM Carmine, awesome. Party system awesome. Counting only 1 kill per weapon per match? Fecking terrible. |
 | Comment #49 by Blackjaw x Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:45:24 PM Yeah, you see Carmine for a brief second in the gameplay video. Everything sounds great except for the 1 kill per weapon per match for achievements... I got 1250 in the last game in far less matches than it'll take to get these... it'll be like 1000 matches just for the basic weapon achievements. I guess I'll be playing 3 round matches. This isn't preventing boosting, it's ruining the gameplay. I would get 2-3 kills with whatever weapon I was going for per ROUND and never boosted a single kill. |
| Comment #50 by Blackjaw x Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:49:27 PM Furthermore, I thought people only boosted for Seriously anyway. Are we going to have to play 10,000 matches in this game? (If one kill per match counts for seriously 2.0) |
| Comment #51 by Blackjaw x Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:50:20 PM And I am going to personally butt rape anyone who calls this Gears 1.5 when it comes out. Clearly tons of things are being changed, but the characters and gameplay will be basically the same, but that's what any sequel of all time has been. Would you rather Gears 2 have no cover system, guys in black ninja suits and a knife instead of a chainsaw? NO! A sequel is only required to improve on the first game, add new levels and MP maps, a new story and not change the core mechanics. You fools. |
 | Comment #52 by quidyg Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:51:04 PM its only 1 kill per weapon so all kills in the match will count just you cant get 2 boomshot or longshot |
 | Comment #53 by patches4711 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 07:54:14 PM Party system sounds great!! I also like the idea of crawling away instead of sitting there waiting to die |
 | Comment #54 by Xx NTAEndar xX Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 08:13:53 PM NICE CARMINE!!!!!!!! **** YEAH! |
 | Comment #55 by cool4joe Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 08:15:37 PM Everyone is complaining about the 1 kill per match for the achievement but if everyone would stop being gay and quit boosting they would not try to make it harder to get. Even though it is 1 kill per match I bet there will be plenty of boosting parties on day one, but how difficult will it be to play 100 matches and get a kill in each one with say the hammer. If you cannot get it then you are terrible at GoW and shouldn't have bought it. |
 | Comment #56 by Lord of Orion Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 08:17:59 PM Well ... Seriously 2.0 could suck ... boosting will still occur for this game especially if that is the case. I would rather see it be able in player matches, and use a journal system ... Condemned 2 anyone? |
| Comment #57 by J1MmY295 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 08:19:41 PM How come everyone thinks Seriously will be back? We all know only EA don't really change their achievements, Epic will make new achievements, hopefully ones that wont take ages to achieve and won't require any boosting. So the lot of you, stop having a heart attack over the 1 kill per weapon when you don't even know if the achievements will be about weapon kills. |
 | Comment #58 by Vidiot Just Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 08:22:42 PM i cant wait |
 | Comment #59 by KWEY516 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 08:43:18 PM please someone make a petion to stop that 1 kill crap sound the alarms, send in an airstrike , we need everyone to complain till they fix it we are 80,000 + members strong |
 | Comment #60 by lingenfelser Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 08:43:57 PM Please no online Achievements. Please use the COD4 model!! Online achievements in the 1st Gears easily made online matches unbearable and just not fun. |
| Comment #61 by KWEY516 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 08:44:52 PM we will def make and impact |
 | Comment #62 by DBobMane Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 08:51:02 PM Gears needs a regular old deathmatch/team deathmatch. I never played online due to all the downtime |
 | Comment #63 by Hurricane x360a Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 09:06:12 PM wen u keep shooting while some one is curbstomping they wont die |
 | Comment #64 by BackerMan Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 09:16:28 PM I was hoping to see some female soldiers there but nope. |
 | Comment #65 by Honkymagoo Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 09:23:16 PM PENIS. |
 | Comment #66 by papochini Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 09:30:40 PM i just hope there's some sort of rankin system so you get pared up against people whitin your skill level |
 | Comment #67 by SK Beans Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 09:44:50 PM YES! Carmine ftw! I always play as him. |
| Comment #68 by DreadfulCorpse Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 09:47:28 PM best game ever |
 | Comment #69 by Metaphorically Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 09:49:05 PM It is 4 co-op http://www.gamespot.com/video/928234/6190921/gears-of-war-2-interview |
 | Comment #70 by EL1TExSN1P3R Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 09:52:22 PM Carmine??? What the HeLL!!! I thought he got his head shot off!!! I'm liking the 5v5 with the Party System, it sounds awesome. This game is gonna be the GREATEST GAME ON THE XBOX 360. (I honestly don't care about the whole boosting thing, because that defeats the purpose of the game.) |
 | Comment #71 by crunchb3rry Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 10:12:50 PM Just get rid of online achievements or make them skill based instead of goal-based grinding. Problem solved. |
 | Comment #72 by AlmightyZing Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 10:37:31 PM Will there be online servers like Halo for this one or are we still relying on shitty host connections for multiplayer??? |
 | Comment #73 by Maka Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 10:43:36 PM 1 kill per weapon per game... thats the stupidest thing Ive ever heard, seriously, no pun intended. Obviously people can get more than one of the same kill in a game. The achievements should instead be "Play 100 games and get a pistol kill in each game" and after 700 rounds of gaming, you can get it! |
 | Comment #74 by secretkaos187 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 11:12:21 PM the game looks SWEET!hopefully i can get in on it when it comes out,learned my lesson about waiting a bit to get a game I had no fun!Didn't Carmine die(maybe he just looks like him!) |
 | Comment #75 by K1ng K00p4 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 11:16:18 PM Yeah COD4 nailed it with the no online achievements. If only others would follow suit. |
 | Comment #76 by Marx0r Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 11:22:04 PM #20 = teh lulz. #73, Maka you win. It's fucking retarded, and that better be a wrong quote. Who can't get more than one X kill in a match legit? |
 | Comment #77 by ShadowNinja89 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 11:25:56 PM That weapon kills thing is gonna piss alot of people off. |
 | Comment #78 by aosiding Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 11:34:17 PM carmines name is anthony lol, and its kinda wierd that bairds name is damon for a white guy (off topic) |
 | Comment #79 by sharno Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 11:39:14 PM the game def should have online achievements because that is what keeps people playing the game, because it gives you something to work for. really if you had a hard time getting the weapon achievements then you suck, cuz its so easy. also that 1 kill per match is the worst idea ever! when i was going for each achievement i would just use that one weapon for the whole match and keep playing til i got it, sometimes getting over 20 or 30 kills but i wasnt boosting just paying normally. so i really hope thats not included in the final game. |
 | Comment #80 by xXx3NIGM4xXx Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 11:44:45 PM This game is going to be so amazing.. |
 | Comment #81 by X JOHNSON 4 Wednesday, May 14, 2008 @ 11:57:19 PM Cant wait |
 | Comment #82 by Jmashed Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 12:01:14 AM I want it now! >_ |
| Comment #83 by G1GGSY11 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 12:04:48 AM it's not Carmine it's just another soldier wearing a helmet. |
 | Comment #84 by RebuiltChosen Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 12:05:59 AM Cool, its all cool, i think its awesome that you can crawl to saftey when downed. |
 | Comment #85 by ninealp Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 12:11:04 AM i realy dont think it carmine but some other cog guy that will die in like the first or second act :P R.I.P carmine |
 | Comment #86 by RPDfire Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 12:28:01 AM AMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!! |
 | Comment #87 by Blind x360a Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 12:44:17 AM Did they announce Carmine back? Or are we going off pics? Because last time I checked that armor was the standard COG armor so for all we know that could be a Kelly. :P |
 | Comment #88 by Hispanicman15 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 12:52:42 AM sounds good to what he's saying but the best thing i heard so far was when downed you get to crawl to saftey that going to be useful for a guy like me |
 | Comment #89 by ROA5T BeeF Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 12:57:49 AM Well one kill per match will not only stop achievment boosters...it will stop anyone from getting the acheivement they deserve to get! One per match is pretty ridiculous. You could get many legit kills per match. Bad idea. |
 | Comment #90 by S1ck x VaLoR Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 01:00:37 AM Let's hope people don't complain about actives. |
 | Comment #91 by ImmortalArbiter Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 01:08:04 AM If onl 1 kill per weapon per match counts that's...ridiculous. I remember when I went for my Hammer of Dawn achievement, I got all of my kills within the space of four 19 round Rooftop matches. I really have 0 desire to do 100+ 1 round matches. |
 | Comment #92 by xTHRASHx Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 01:43:53 AM 5v5.... uhhhhh!!!!!! i want big matches!!!! and little matches... thats upseting |
| Comment #93 by Jackel2556 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 03:44:00 AM the one kill with a weapon thing sounds completely stupid, you used to be able to shoot off peoples heads in the middle of a curb stomp, and how the fuck does someone survive a sniper shot in the head, sounds pretty stupid to me, and I pray to god that the tank isnt drivable in mulitplayer |
 | Comment #94 by I BlankZ I Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 03:52:45 AM Can anyone say Chuck Norris? |
 | Comment #95 by Lil 73017 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 04:12:19 AM i agree cuz i h8 when ppl boost for achievements and quit the game just let them come |
| Comment #96 by rubberchicken69 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 04:44:40 AM why does everyone want to suck chuck norris dick? i mean seriously? anyways, i dont mind the only 1 kill for each weapon goes towards the achievements. i mean it only makes it funner and will make the game lost longer! haha i love the journal feature, maybe thatll fix the seriously glitch |
 | Comment #97 by Vince Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 07:07:27 AM seems interesting i just wish they had more team oriented achievements online |
 | Comment #98 by FlimFlam Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 07:14:09 AM I have never boosted, but I don't understand the anti-boosting business at all. We all love achievements, some of us work legitimately for them, some of us organise groups to 'boost'. Either way we are fulfilling the criteria the dev's set. If they don't want boosting, set achievements that can't be boosted! Don't fuck the whole damn thing just to stop people getting together and earning a few points. Now the guy (or gal) who goes on a Rambo-esque rampage and totally wipes out the other team with a shotgun legitimately gets just one kill for it? Cliffy B... That blows dude. |
 | Comment #99 by YurtleTehTurle Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 07:17:16 AM The one counted kill per weapon per match idea will ruin multiplayer. Imagine getting a down in round 18 of a first to 10 match - how do you finish him off? Not a Curb Stomp I did that in round 3, not an Execution I did one of those in round 12 etc etc. By the time you work out which kill method you haven't yet used, he's either bled out or got back up and grenade sticked you!!! Personally I didn't come across that much boosting in Gears 1 so they should leave the achievements as were. Although they definately need to fix the 100 kills counter so it actually is 100 and not 112, 138..... |
| Comment #100 by no0b eater Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 07:34:09 AM i liket tha 1st 1 its all most as good as holo3 but tha online maps was not as good and it did not have foge i think gers2 is gona pone but its a yere a head of halo3 and thay can fax tha bad things in the 1st one like maps n stuf |
 | Comment #101 by Kakansho Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 07:53:53 AM This game is soooooo banned in Australia. |
 | Comment #102 by Luckbox Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 08:41:53 AM if they do another seriously, they fix the problem with me having to get well over 10'000 kills for seriously. sitting at more than 12'000 and haven't go it yet. I have a friend at 14'000 and he hasn't go it. I love the crawling thing though! |
 | Comment #103 by o7-Jordan-o8 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 09:51:37 AM I dont think carmine returns :( He clearly died of a headshot and u could have easily mistaken him for a normal gear soldier as he wore the standard COG armor whereas Baird and cole ect had their own heads and armor. And they better have improved achievements then seriously!!!!!!! |
 | Comment #104 by daddy exec Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 11:01:06 AM Epic need to scrap weapon achievements and just leave the "Seriously" achievement. Follow COD 4 but still leave a carrot to dangle at the far end, man! |
 | Comment #105 by The-One-And-Only Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 11:22:12 AM Online achievments shouldn't exist in my opinion. Screws over those who don't have the net for one. |
| Comment #106 by J1MmY295 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 11:24:23 AM This 1 kill thing is confusing so many people. I think it means that if you shoot a two guys dead with the pistol in 1 round, only 1 of those kills will count towards the weapon achievement (if they have them again), and both will count towards your total kills. So it doesn't mean that you will have to change your kills in every round, it just means that you will not be getting your weapon achievements as fast, making multiplayer last longer. So technically, nothing has changed with this being added, it'sworked out for the best, because people wont be fighting over who has the longshot or the boomshot, and everyone will get a go with every weapon, making it fairer. |

 | Comment #108 by MYRM1D0N Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 01:10:30 PM AAAHHH!!!! I can't wait for this game!!! |
 | Comment #109 by g2thecore Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 01:15:45 PM The one kill per weapon per match is retarded. If they want to stop boosting they should just get rid of online achievements (online achievements suck anyways). Oh and one other thing.....why do people like carmine so much? I don't remember his character being that memorable...I'm I missing something? |
 | Comment #110 by Lil Miss Death Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 01:18:30 PM i wonna see a new sniper maybe a laser-site on it , wonna get my no scopes back on woooooohooooooo |
 | Comment #111 by rook44 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 01:56:33 PM Yeah, I barely even thought about how many matches it would take to max out all the weapon achievements and I got a nose bleed....way to go Cliffy B. |
 | Comment #112 by Akatsuki Sw1tch Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 01:56:59 PM Yup another reason why they should NEVER! Bother with crappy online achievements, Besides the VS Mode sucked ass in the 1st game it was all about the Co-Op. |

I'm so hipped up bout gow2 i cant wait to get it i already have it pr-order the limited edition. hit me up when it comes out and we can hit the online and play some co-op. |
 | Comment #114 by ztron500 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 03:20:50 PM I hope Epic learns from one of Gears of War flaws(SERVERS),Gears of War 2 need's dedicated SERVERS. |
 | Comment #115 by okki44 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 04:12:14 PM people are only gonna host a 3-5round matches because of the 1kill per match achievement, and its gonna take out all the fun from the online |
 | Comment #116 by knockton55 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 05:08:24 PM NICEEEEEE! CARMINE!!!!!!!!!! CARMINES MY ROLE MODEL!!!!!!!1 |
 | Comment #117 by Pedro7_2000 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 05:42:29 PM Their proposed solution to stop boosting is stupid. Com'on Epic listen to your fans and please stop trying to ruin online play. |
 | Comment #118 by MAXIBHOY Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 06:08:30 PM SOUNDS GOOOD TAH MEE |
| Comment #119 by guitarlord Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 06:16:29 PM Im still waitin to find out if there will be 4 player campaign cause that would be great. Im also liking the sound of crawling to safety when youre downed. |
 | Comment #120 by Feel My Rage Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 07:59:53 PM Oh....my.....god.... I think I just lost half my brain cells reading these comments.HAVE ANY OF YOU PEOPLE EVEN LOOKED AT THE DIFFERENT FEATURES OF THE GAME!?!The only TRUE online achievement(as far as i know, and if they bring it back) is "Seriously..."!You can get ALL OTHER WEAPON ACHIEVES IN SINGLE PLAYER AS WELL AS MP! Jesus, goo look something up every once in a while.... "seriously no one even boosts on ranked matches, and if they do then just dont cooperate and kill them" Try it when its 4v4 and you're the only guy who isnt in on the boosting thing.You're team lets the otehr team try to get you.Plus, since theres no friendly fire, you cant kill the idiots on your team that try it. |
 | Comment #121 by odysseus123 Thursday, May 15, 2008 @ 08:49:34 PM 1 kill per weapon sounds pretty stupid to me. Even then people WILL find a way around it, just like they did seriously..... I like the whole "dragging to safety" feature and the Journal. Hopefully it doesn't turn into a complete fuck up. |
 | Comment #122 by Moodypwns Friday, May 16, 2008 @ 06:23:39 PM Some of theses ideas sound awesome and sweet but i think the whole pick up your hostage and use him as a meat shield is going to fuck up big time but everything else sound pretty solid. |
 | Comment #123 by KaRn4g3 Wednesday, May 28, 2008 @ 09:56:46 PM The new Kantus locusts that can revive their dead I think they bring back Carmine |
