Gears of War 2 features weapon specific executions
42
X3F writes:
"After digging through today's new Gamer's Day Gears of War 2 press kit, on what we initially thought to be an unsuccessful mission to find something new, we stumbled across an interesting feature reveal. Listed on the official GoW2 May 2008 fact sheet comes mention that the "overall tone of 'Gears of War 2' is more badass - replete with new weapon-specific executions, chain saw duels and shocking boss fights." Weapon specific executions? SUH-WEET! Maybe that's why the recently released gameplay video didn't show the option to curb stomp Locusts which lead us to think neck-snapping replaced the iconic foot to the back of head, head to the curb move. We can only imagine what other weapon specific executions will be included when Gears ships and what twisted execution the crew over at Epic will think up for the torque bow..."

THEY CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meh Gears 2 hype feels forced. Same thing happened with Gears 1. It's always some dude saying : "Chainsaw! Yeah! Badass!" and then everyone is like "Badass! Yeah! Chainsaw!"
EDIT : Just listen to what the guy says at the end of the first gameplay footage. Something like "more badass than ever". How lame...

10 - I swear
you would not know Ninja Gaiden 2 is coming next month.
Talk about OVERHYPE/OVERKILL.
(It's a MGS4 diversion)
Why talk about a game so much that's months away, when you have a stellar title coming next month?
This game does'nt need hype or promotion.
PC/360 owners are gonna buy it regardless.
EDIT:
Which series has made the more dramatic change over the years?
Ninja Gaiden
Gears of War
Ninja Gaiden, obviously.
But you would'nt konw it if you listened to a "certain" camp.
Gears 2 is the second coming, but has really added (in comparison to NG) anything new.
Ninja Gaiden 1,2,3,3D,Black,Sigma,(3D)2 <------- Hell of a jump.
Gears 1 & 2 .......?

11 - my goodness
so much gears hate by fanboys, they are taking what made the original great and improving it with enchanced graphics, more gameplay options and what looks to be a even more kickarse campaign!
it is a sequal right... and thats all sequals do, it worked for god of war, halo, and a bunch of other games... plus im hoping for destructible environtments you can use in multiplayer and SP, they had only a lil bit of that in gears 1 but they got to go all out this time!
BTW KZ2's gameplay wont compare to gears, and ricky that FPS cover stuff has been done before so stop spouting trash (and looks really annoying to me), KZ2 is really pretty (best looking game this gen) but its gameplay isnt above other shooters, deal with it. i mean i liked halo because it was a bit slower pace and all, but after watching KZ2 (even with the sprint option) the guy moves like iron man (when he first came out of the cave suit version I) slow as hell...
anyway gears 2 is looking to be awsome cant wait!!!

No one brought up Killzone 2 until you made your post. Ugh, will you god damn people stop?
I could just as easily argue your argument on Killzone 2 holds no ground, you haven't played Killzone 2. You don't know if it will be worse or better, have you stopped and considered the fact that Killzone 2 is a Sony owned IP now with over 150 dedicated people working around the clock on it? No, of course you haven't.

12 - this sounds pretty bad@ss....
"weapon specific executions" nothing that hasn't been done before but I'm sure Cliffy will make it ROCK for Gears2!
@Z501
"Why talk about a game so much that's months away, when you have a stellar title coming next month?"
uhm that happens with every game, even though you like 1 game doesn't mean people will shut up and be quiet about future games they also are looking forward to, thats just a ridiculous statement.
ha ha so now that its becoming clear to sony folks that Gears draws an enormous amount of attention and their hate ONLY adds fuel to the fire, so now they've began to tell people what games they should be giving more attention to, NG2 is a great game its been in the spotlight too, I'm sure many like me are looking forward to it, but obviously Gears2 will attract alot of media attention, when you consider Epic is only recently been showing off gameplay AND its predeccesor was GOTY remember? Relax with the jealousy, I mean you could always go back to the comfort of your ps3 news, lmfao

12.2 - OK computer, try to keep up....
First, if your post history is filled with negative crap about 360(Z501), you're not exactly the most creditable source when it comes to telling 360 fans which games they should or should not pay more attention to.
Second, even if your the most extreme 360 fanboy, you don't get to dictate which games 360 owners should be more hyped about.
Lastly, I call him jealous because he knows just like the rest of the world that Gears2 is most 360 owners most anticipated game (not everybody but the majority) so therefore anybody with a brain would expect that it will recieve MORE attention than other 360 exclusives, especially when the game has only recently been shown off (btw looks kick@ss too) but to take that fact and use it to imply we don't care much about the other exclusives is ridiculous....and he said it out of jealousy,( look at his next post on this thread) because he wishes it wasn't as popular as it is to satisfy his agenda....besides many like my self have commented positively on other 360 gaming news, including NG2. capeesh?

Whatever, I don't keep up with every single n4g user's post history, sorry. It just seems to me like you're paranoid, jumping on anyone who posts even a slight jab at any positive 360 news, and its annoying. that crap belongs in the open zone.
I'm a huge ng fan, and I agree with the original post. ng2 will be in my 360 on day one, and will probably be aaa just like the first, but its getting no attention. Yes gow2 will own, and be a goty contender for sure, and will also be a day 1 purchase for me. But its almost a year away. ng2 on the other hand will be here in less than two months, and its a aaa series that deserves more coverage. How you figure that opinion to be sony fanboy jealousy is beyond me since everyone knows ng2 is 360 exclusive also.

12.4 - uhm...read slowly, Ok sorry I'm kiddin but you sound a bit naive....
what part of he's jealous don't you understand? you may not briefly look at posters history to see if their being genuine or not but I think it matters.
You say I'm paranoid, yet you don't find me in every ps3 thread downplaying ps3 games unlike most of the sony folks on n4g, WHY? because although I play games on both, I do prefer 360 games but with that said I have no need to hate on ps3 games to make me feel better about my choices.
NO I dont attack anyone I don't mind a difference of opinion but I do find it quite amusing to call out some of the blatant BS and expose their motives as if its not obvious on n4g. hmmm strange logic you have, I'm paranoid because I point out the BS(on a 360 thread by a clear sonyfanboy) and he's OK for judging 360 fans like we are sinners cause we(some) are more excited about 1 exclusive than the other, funny I bet he never said such a thing in a ps3 exclusive thread, they've been talking about that game since before the ps3 launched and its always been further away than Gears.
"Yes gow2 will own, and be a goty contender for sure, and will also be a day 1 purchase for me. But its almost a year away. ng2 on the other hand will be here in less than two months, and its a aaa series that deserves more coverage."
Again, Gears has a larger fanbase, thus sites cover it more, AND the *new gameplay trailer has just been released, uhmm no sh!# people are talking about it, I'm a huge NG fan too, but reality is what it is, if this was some fairy tail land you read about then maybe all games would recieve the same attention and n4g wouldn't be sony biased, but like it or not we live on planet Earth.

Cool stuff, but as in the first GOW curb stomps were more likely to get you killed (in multiplayer) then anything. But that being said few things were as gratyfying as curb stomping your buddy, even if it meant that your head would be popped like a balloon by the other teams sniper once the animation was done. But as far as the actual game goes, the first game was amazing so it's a pretty safe guess to say the second game will be as well.

you know the ones "always waiting" for the pc version, while us 360 owners play it day 1, its a great game I'm glad you sony folks will get a taste even if it is a year later like the first one, ha ha I got no problem with that, whatever makes you feel better and I'm sure come November micro/Epic won't lose any sleep just because YOU are waiting for the pc version, especially when they see Gears2 sales numbers on the 360......yep, your post STILL STINKS of jealousy.

Gears of War 2 is nothing more than an effortless attempt to cash in more money. It features nothing new and will continue with the same redundant gameplay mechanics. Dark Sniper expects the review scores to be no higher than 7.5 with an average of 73 on Metacritic.
Microslaves will be playing Gears of Bore while Dark Sniper and his Sony Snipers will be enjoying the vastly superior Resistance 2. The fall season will be a great time for those looking to jump out and Play B3YOND.
