Wingman is a great addition, however proximity mines just ruined the game for me. Proximity mines were the worst invention in video games to date. In one of the games I worked on they were eventually removed because there is just no real way to make them effective without ruining the flow of the game. I don't even have to bring up goldeneye, anyone who has played that heavily knows what I am talking about... now imagine not being able to respawn. Proximity mines and the button mashing saw fights might just ruin the game. Why screw up what worked incredibly well?

It is only a matter of time before users figure out a few spots where mines cannot be seen or shot without exploding, and you will have that one guy hiding the whole match and winning without any skill. If they are readily available look for it to become a large nuisance in which you have to essentially stop moving all together.

I was also hoping that they might have larger multiplayer battles. 5v5 is just so outdated at this point. Also what happened to the texture quality since the first footage shown from this game? I hope it ends up at least looking better than the original GeoW (Yes this video is crappy, but I'm not going off of this solely). Finishing moves do look awesome though, I'm not sold on the meat shield just yet.

The stopping when fired on sucks for a shotgun heavy guy like me. I was heavy on both the saw and shotgun and they essentially killed both of their effectiveness. Again, why ruin what worked?

P.S. Man Cliff is such a douche.

And a side not I'm glad Cliffy took my advice and now we can crawl away when we're injured on the floor! Guess it does help to write to the developers directly!!!

Hell Yeah man. The finishing moves look so brutal. You bash your opponents head with the longshot!! 0_0 and you hook their heads with the torque bow and cut it off!!! SOOO FRIKKING BURTAl man, cant wait. Gears 2 will beat COD4 for most played on Xbox Live. I know it will. Halo got old. Gears is the future of the Xbox 360.

I pretty sure Trans is talking about how unbelievably over hyped halo3 was. But I'm pretty sure microsoft is gonna go it again. I don't blame them really, this is most definiately their biggest exclusive this year.

looks pretty darn fun. i hope they put in a bunch of guns, like a whole bunch. although the graphics are good, the lighting isn't great, and animations are all right. maybe it was the bad video, or it was just a dark level, or both, but it's not bad or anything as long as the gameplay is there

One more thing i would like to see added. Voice prox chat! Sure maybe if someone is close enough the enemy can hear you, but i would like to see it more when you usen someone as a meat shield. Talking trash to someone as you usen them as a meat shield would be epic!

A high scoring AAA that released a few weeks ago uses gameplay innovations two generations old as long as they improve the game it is fine.

"The more they show it seems less and less innovative"

^^ As if they are going to show the best the game will have to offer *right now* so that PS3 fans can be at ease.

The fact that we know Epic's track record tells us it will be repetitive.

I love Unreal Tournament, but only when I'm playing against a friend.

I love Gears of War, but only online.

Either way, most people would rather play Call of Duty.

It's not very innovative, but it's still a well welcomed improvement. Almost every game that release a sequel is just an improvement over the first it's just that some games improve a lot more than others. And in Gears case there isn't much to improve upon besides game length, graphics, multiplayer which 2/3 we know they did.

Graphics in Gears 1 was the best! Graphics in Gears 2 is even better! All games on 360 based on Unreal Engine 3.5 will look the same quality in 2009. Only 1 game that have the same cinematic quality on PS3 is Killzone 2 (good ligthing, bad textures). But its bigest flaw is what it costs 4 times more money to produce and will collect 2 time less earnings than Gears 2. So there will be not so many Killzone 2 quality games on PS3. Jump in.

8days looked better or as good as killzone and UT3 looks exactly the same as gears2.

BTW killzone2 looks better than this by far.

Killzone 2 looks a lot better than Gears 2. I have the comparison shots of Killzone 2 vs. the render, and Gears vs. Gears 2, and you can easily see Killzone 2 looks better than Gears 2. Gears has great graphics, and looks great in motion, but Killzone 2 is in a class of it's own. The $60 million Sony spent on Killzone didn't go to waste.

15.4 - aebriscoejr: the fact you have comparsion shot does not mean what Killzone 2 is better
i said games are similar with their cons and pros. which one is better will only sales figures tell.
Shut this user up Let user speak
thehitman - 557 days 20 hours ago
15.5 - sales
figures has nothing to do with how good a game is. It has to do with how well marketed it is and hyped it is. Halo3 for example sold 8mil in like a month but sux. Cod4 sold half as much including multi versions and yet its easily better.

kewlkat007 - 557 days 20 hours ago
15.6 - Well thehitman what you think is a great game or not is still all subjective
You know whether a game is good or not?

If your looking at the sales of the 1st game. Yes a game maybe be hyped and marketed well but the game has to pass the reviewers test and as well as the fans.

If the first games does somehow surpass the hype and actually live up to the hype and sell lets say 3 million+, then that's a good game. You can expect the sales of the 2nd to equal or surpass the first game.

By the time Halo 3 came out, you already had the fanbase that had already made up their minds after Part 1/2. It wasn't so much Hpye that it sold, it was not a surprise. I'm sure there was some new fans that did get caught in the hype,and maybe that was you, but Halo ha d a fanbase and it was gaurenteed.

We are now gonna see the same with Gears of War 2. As far as, KZ2 well I can't say the same. It needs to prove a lot and graphics is not what's gonna give it GOTY honors alone or be praised. Too much we don't know.

HYPE and GREAT MARKETING can MAKE or BREAK the 1st game, but it's not going to CARRY THE FRANCHISE.

MAN.. and they said this game could not Improve.....

What else do people want in this game?

First of, I was never expecting a Brand New game like some seem to think Sequels are all about starting back at "Square 1." No !! this game will not Whoa you like the first time around.

All I wanted, was to fix the

Cheating/Glitching,
Improved Story/Longer Campaign,
More Weapons/Maps
Some Suprises here and there

Well it's looking good for now...
