Gears of War 2 Preview at CheatCC - GOW 2 Details: The War Is Not Over

CheatCC writes: "The team at Epic Games is clearly gunning to outdo itself in its quest to make every aspect of Gears of War 2 larger, brimming with more action-packed goodness and packing an even greater punch than its apocalyptic predecessor. With promises of making it "bigger, better, and more badass than the first game in every way," they've got their work cut out for them."

looks good i'll def. pick this up.

Shaka2K65863d ago

We just hope this one has atleast a decent AI.

bloop5863d ago

I think someone needs to go to Specsavers, and I think someone has yet to play Gears.

FCOLitsjustagame5863d ago

"The War is not over".
Gosh, really, never would have expected that to be the case.

Looking forward to this game but will not allow myself to be overhyped despite Epics epic attempt to make me so.

TheIneffableBob5863d ago

I'm guessing a few months after the 360 version releases, seeing as how Epic Games is now in the PC Gaming Alliance.

Bnet3435863d ago

When everyone on Xbox 360 gets tired of playing it.

Lets-Game5863d ago

really who would care about this game when so to say "10/10" coming in 3 days!!! :)

bloop5863d ago

I was just thinking the same thing :) But Gears is possibly in my top 5 games of all time. Judging by reviews and vids I've seen of GTA IV, Epic (and any other developer for that matter) are really going to have to bring out something un-f#cking-believable to come close to GTA.

poopsack5863d ago

lol yeah lets not call it spongebob squarepants: Battle for bikinbottom any more... I mean GTA 4.

angel6045863d ago

how is the co-op difficulty going to work "more importantly each player will be able to adjust their own difficulty levels individually. This new feature will allow hardcore GeOW veterans to blast away Locust alongside new players."

on persons system it will take more shots to kill a locust than your partners..

??

NOTORIOUSzeke5863d ago

I see too many problems coming from that system...

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies692d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638692d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72693d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337693d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever692d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad693d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds693d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

Neonridr826d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies826d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia827d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey602826d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian229826d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares827d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve827d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares827d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos826d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong826d ago (Edited 826d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard826d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

6. Gears Judgement

Atom6661169d ago

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1169d ago (Edited 1169d ago )

Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:

1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
