Thread: Gears of War 2

WOW WOW WOW!

Who would've thought GoW could've gotten any better?

I missed the Chainsaw bayonet, one of the best weapons in gaming history!

This will make me pick up Gears 1 to replay it again.

GREAT game.

Fantastic game, but its SOO easy compared to the first. I almost have it beat on Hardcore (think I'm gonna team up with my friend to tackle insane though). Between this and all the new Jedis you can play as on The Force Unleashed, my Fall Break is taken care of.

Awesome game, but it is pretty easy. I made the mistake of doing my first campaign on Normal (or whatever the one below Hardcore is). I think I may jump straight to insane for the 2nd time through.

Yeah, spectacular game. I went through and beat it on easy when I got it... working on Hardcore and Hoarde mode with friends online... so much fun. Love the new Hammerburst weapon, just a nice, quick-fire gun with a lot of ammo. Plus the mortars.... just destruction everywhere.

We should do a Broncos Forums Horde Domination Round! I've tried it a couple times online, but people always quit midway through. I wanna do the full 50 rounds!

I'm picking up a 360 on Black Friday. Best Buy has a 60GB with 4 fee games. I'm going to rent Gears of War 1 thru GameFly and take my time with it and then play #2. I can't wait.

I'm no stranger to shooters, I've played all relevant ones and I don't consider myself awesome, but I'm playing it on Hardcore and I don't think it's too easy.

Not saying the game itself is easy (everything from the Hive to the Queens throne room is a nightmare), but I'm having a much easier time with this than Gears 1.

Also, after I spent 2 months beating Ninja Gaiden II on Path of the Master Ninja, everything seems a little easier now...

I don't have a 360 but that game (and the first one) have tempted me a few times to pick up one.

How far have you guys gotten in Horde mode? I got to round 29 last night and that is the farthest I've gotten. It seems damn near impossible to get through 50. Much respect for anyone that does.

I got to 11 on my own, me and a few friends are gonna take a crack at it tomorrow. Best mode in the game IMO (besides the campaign, which was awesome).

Tons of awesome shooters on 360. If that is your game I highly advise.

Question- I can't seem to use the dead bodies or the Locusts as shields in solo mode, is this only used in other modes?

The game is also kinda funny, I LOL at least once already!

You should be able to use them as shields in the solo campaign...remember that they have to be down but not dead in order to use them as a shield.

And yeah, the dudes say some pretty funny stuff sometimes. I just beat the game tonight and it was an awesome game with a great story, but it seemed sorta short and ended rather abruptly. When people beat the game make sure you let the credits roll through. After the credits roll you get a tiny glimpse at the direction that the story may go in GOW 3...nothing mind blowing, but sorta cool nonetheless.

After beating FF7 all those years ago, I always let the credits roll now!
