E3 2008: Gears of War 2 Multiplayer and Map Fly-Throughs

E3 2008: Gears of War 2 Multiplayer and Map Fly-Throughs
Written Monday, July 14, 2008 by Jason Debelyak

The folks over at Gametrailers.com are bringing the Gears of War 2 goods in full force. On the dawn of Microsoft's big E3 press conference, they have brought us lots of Gears of War 2 multiplayer goodness. Included in these videos are approximately five minutes of multiplayer footage on the Day One map. Also included are video fly-throughs of Gridlock, Security, River, and Day One. Keep your eyes open and you'll notice some new weapon spawns as well as some other interesting things here and there. All of these maps look absolutely spectacular, and I for one am particularly psyched for both River and Day One. Both of these are absolutely breathtaking. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the Gears of War 2 goodies. I think I speak for most of us when I say November can't come soon enough.

Looks good. I'm glad that they've improved on the achievements (one kill per weapon per match), that will make it more fun to play instead of just doing boosting matches.

I don't really care for the fact that it's one kill per weapon per match. Sure that may stop the boosters but what about the people who actually played the game to earn the achievements.. It's going to take so much longer. I don't really care tbh because I love gears of war, but if the achievements are going to be anything like the Seriously achievement..

gears of war 2, brought to you by epic games, epic is one of my favourite developers, and why you might ask when only a couple of 360 games have been put out by them, its simple really, they listen to the fans, we cant expect a game to be perfect, and neither can the developers, but as far as i see epic has fixed most of the stuff from gears, and how did they do it so efficiency, they listened to the fans, alot of developers are starting to do more of this, but epic has some of the most loyal fans, and this is the reason why

Epic games have done us a favor with gears of war 2, epic wants you to go out and buy this game(obviously), but if you do buy this game, witch many will, your not only supporting epic games, your supporting a great game, this game was published the way it is for 2 reasons, one of the reasons is to always make money, but money aside, the second reason this game was made, was for the fans, of not only gears but of epic games as well, so do yourself a favor and get this game, Epic Games, keep making games for the fans, we love you for it

why do 1 kill per weapon per match? GET RID OF MULTIPLAYER ACHIEVEMENTS!!! They ruin the fun! (I don't mind accumulative ones like seriously tho)

who the fuck wants glitches, your a loser for even putting that, go buy a fuckin Wii.

pathetic, glitches ruin games and the fun.... and i agree either get rid of the multiplayer achievements or get rid of that nooby 1 kill per match rule and get a better method of stopping boosters

This slow, drip feed of info is working me into am impatient frenzy!

Absolute must buy - I'm looking forward to multiplayer more than the campaign on this one!

LOL look at Mr Angry at #22

Chill dude, I'm sure everything will be fine, just take a deep breath...

Why is 'go buy a Wii' the insult of choice round these parts? Wii has more triple A titles than PS3... Or is it the much maligned 'casual' element? News flash: there is no such thing as a 'casual' game. Just people of differing skill levels and tastes. Not even sure what relevance a Wii has in this particular thread, just sounds stupid. Anyway...

GOW2 FTW! :)

If there was to be a "Seriously" achievement, and it counted as 1 kill per weapon per match, then you would be garanteed(sp) to have that achieve in 10,000 matches. So it wouldn't be all that bad.

GOW2 is probly gonna be one of the best games made so far. they have used similar designs like from GOW which is gonna be brilliant. I also love the way gridlcok atm just looking at the video has no sniper rifle. But the thing is if there is another seriously they should just do it like GOw but make sure you get it exactly at 10k kills. If they do this 1 kill with a wepon every match this game will actualy suck for that reason and that reason only. So they should scrap that idea and use a matchmaking system like halo3. Although the matchmaking system isnt fair on halo hopefully for GOW2 it will be better. If they do the match making system you will not beable to "boost" for acheivements. Cliffy B did metion in the interveiw that they where going to use match making aparently but im not pos

Where did you guys hear that it was going to be one kill per weapon per match? The interview that I saw he corrected himself and said one kill per weapon per round, so you could actually accumulate 19 torque kills in a 19 rounder. Just wondering where yall heard the final word at.

The one thing I found strange was how when the locust had the sniper, it had a blue scope on the detail of the weapon but when he zoomed in it was red.

Looks amazing, also funny that some were called RedShirt. The Redshirts are usually the extras that die on LOST, it's like a famous thing, everytime you see someone in a Redshirt, you know he is gonna die soon. :) But anyway, this game is gonna be awesome and Carmine looks super sweet...

Most definately more famous in StarTrek. But yeah, its a good gamertag.

Cant wait for this game. Loved the first and the more I see of the second, the more I cant wait for Nov.

to all the dicks saying get rid of multiplayer achievements....your fukin stupid thats what adds so much more fun to the game.

@36

Yeah, most of the Locust side were called Redshirt, and they died a lot, that's what made it funny. I didn't know they were in Star Trek too, I just thought they were in Lost.

I agree that MP Achievements should be gone, with the exception of a few, like the fun ones, none of this X Kills with a certain weapon, or the gotta be boosted Achievements like Kill 4 enemies at once.

they should learn from COD4, multiplayer achievements should be exiled. They just end up taking space and time and are not truly representative of your skill. Im all for challenging single player only achievements e.g. Mile High Club

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 @ 02:47:58 PM

I totally agree with the guy talking about glitches. Those people really did ruin hundreds of matches for me and I hated them. "Its part of the game". No, its not and the multiplayer achievements, including seriously were the best part of the game for me. I loved them.

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
