  •  The chainsaw (none / 0)

    animation just didn't feel...the same. The one thing that I noticed was that Marcus wasn't "wrapped up" when chainsawing the locust. In gears 1 everything kind of stops and zooms in real close to the chainsaw, in this video it seemed like he could still have moved and what not...and it didn't look AS good as I think it will... It is only their first video and it is only my opinion...

    I really liked the nail gun but I am worried about how it will work in multiplayer...it seemed pretty powerful. Also, in multiplayer will players be able to pick up downed enemies? and will those enemies have any chance of getting out of the stranglehold? Just my thoughts...

      is actually the retooled hammerburst, so it might actually be a decent alternative to the Lancer.

          to the Boltok, it is pretty even from the looks of it. Plus, you only get four bursts to a clip.

          •  yea (none / 0)

            but with 6 bullets per burst, thats 24 bullets. Thats a lot better than the Boltok, which isnt that great to begin with..

              You can down someone SOOO easily with the Boltok.

              •  ok? (none / 0)

                I still dont think its good. If you can get headshots with it, thats fine, but other than that stick to the shotty.

                •  I don't think you really (none / 0)

                  understood what I said - even with it's six-round limit, you can still easily down someone charging you. I wouldn't call that a weapon that's not 'good.'

                  •  No, I understood you (none / 0)

                    I just didnt really word my sentence right. The only reasons I think the Boltok should be used are when you're either: A.) out of ammo in every gun you have, so you're limited to pistols, and/or B.) If you can get headshots with it since its 2 shots and they're decapitated. I dont think a pistol should be used just to down someone, and since you cant get a headshot with the Gorgon Burst pistol, I guess the six-round burst would sort of even it out. I still prefer the COG pistol (forgot the name) over the Boltok since it's quicker.

                      that a Pistol should be used to down someone, I was just saying that since it can do that as a Pistol that it's an efficient weapon.

                      If Epic does decide to bring over the human/Locust shield option over to multiplayer, a lot of people are going to get some serious pistol action going!  If they do bring over the shield option, I wonder if the hostage taker can get chainsawed from the back while holding the hostage?  I hope that they can.  Damn, November is going to be excruciating.  However, there's going to be more info from now until then.  More gameplay vids, screenshots, & written info.  Damn, I feel like one of Pavlov's dogs salivating every time Gears 2 is mentioned.

                      Gears is MY Star Wars!!! Wooohhh!!!

                        of the night (Saturday night for you guys) just put me over the top.  I had SO MUCH FUN!  And that is the way it is every time I play that frickin' game.  I cannot believe it.  I am just going nuts over this thing.

                        I sincerely hope they put out a Gears 2 Special Edition 3f_ckin'60, because I want one.  We need at least 2 more of those piece-'o-shit consoles in our house, and I would love for one of them to be shiny black like the GTA4 Edition, with a big red bloody cog skull on the side.

                        The time has come.  I have found my ONE game.  Seriously, even Gears 1 is giving me so much fun, I don't need another, but Gears 2 !?!  I feel like my body is going to start floating up and whirling around the room like in Logan's Run.  Someone grab my feet and hold me down before I fly up too high and I pop like a balloon!

                          We were so happy to see that you logged on.  I think that we spammed you with a lot of invites.  You got at least three from me.  Hahaha.  I played Gears all weekend (FFF, Sat. night until 4:00 A.m. PST, co-op campaign with Sweety, & some more multiplayer on Sunday).  A bit obsessive, huh?  LOL  I can't wait for the barrage of new info that will be coming out until the game releases!  EGM's next issue is supposed to feature Gears 2.  I'm a firm supporter of print media.  Hey, you gotta have some bathroom reading material! ;)  Damn, I envy Papi & Dave for their insider info about the game.  It's times like these that you wish you were "the fly on the wall."  Wooohhh!!!

                          Gears is MY Star Wars!!! Wooohhh!!!

                            I would be doin' everything I could to get my butt over to Epic and have lunch with my brotha ...inside the building... next to the prototype figurines and the testing room.  ;)  Ha ha   I would be happy to just go into Cliffy's office and "play dolls" with all the goodies he has.  ha ha

                            In any case, you can bet the phone conversations are fun! :)

              each burst looks like it does only a little more damage than a boltok bullet (keep in mind he is definitely playing on casual). So in the end, it seems pretty balanced.
