battle cam is BAD ASS!

Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell

to you if you require! :P

Just saw a wicked execution!

Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell

7.59 minutes into video, check out that execution

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cool seeing our gearheads being featured in a 1up video! lol fingers pointing at you roBBins

My video's apparently corrupt.  I have a stuttering sound (and no video) from 6:06 to 9:03.  Is anyone else having this problem, or is it just me and I should re-download?

Go time brotha

http://files.filefront.com/gvcom1UPSpecialGOW2MPFixed+640x360mov/;10796354;/fileinfo.html

the new curbstomp and the way the weapons sound now, hope there's still a cool headshot sound though

David, you guys did a great job!

By that I mean the following.

1)  Dan and Cliff obviously have a good and comfortable relationship.  With that said, Dan asked all the right questions.  The ones that we all have been dying to know.  I'm sure there are some that he didn't (or couldn't), but they escape me right now.

I was watching and thinking "Awesome!  He just asked about host.  Or "Sweet! they plan on re-doing Gears 1 maps via downloadables" and better Party System.  And finally (maybe most important..) The being able to be killed during an execution animation.

2.  Your editing was terrific.  Cutting between the conversation and highlights.

3.  The length was also surprising.  I was expecting another 2 minutes of appetite wetting.  Instead I got to settle into the interview and trust that the info we've be salivating for would come.  

ps.  That execution with the Sniper was Awesome!

"I do not tell lies, but I am a savage".

up a couple videos

http://www.thisisgame.com/board/view.php?id=174502&category=9002

The headshots look even BETTER in Gears 2!! The new curbstomp looks pretty badass, the Torque execution I couldnt really see anything going on, but the sniper execution was pretty cool as well. The fire from the Scorcher looks so real thats its mind blowing :O CANT WAIT!!

at the end it says "spacial thanks to gearheadsofwar.com"

"Look, the thing about my family is there's five of us. Marge, Bart, Girl Bart, the one who doesn't talk, and the fat guy. How I loathe him"

says that they plan on re-making more maps from Gears 1 as DLC!! C'mon Fuel Depot and Canals!

the longshot execution.  Flipping your gun around and smacking someone's head off looks freaking awesome.

Although I've got to say I was surprised that I was expecting to see a little more cautious gameplay given that the bullets slow people down.  It looked like a lot of running around in the open.

I loved the crawling animation.  It looks pretty damn funny rather than just sitting there assuming the position ;-)

Oh and David, Cliff's last name is spelled WAY wrong in the description of the video.  It's Bleszinski.

Thanks for the shoutout to Gearheads at the end!

First of all, Dan is an expert interviewer. Great work!

Secondly, David does an awesome job of getting all of this out to the public. From actually loading it up to GV to getting us the links quickly so GearHeads can see it right away. Plus, thanking us at the end was a class act~ THANK YOU!!!

Now to the footage!

*What Cliff says about there not really being more people in terms of networking is BS. Last game you started with 4 people. This game you start with 5 people. Regardless of when they die, in games like Execution there will be more people playing for a good chunk of the match. The networking must accommodate for this. *Guardian is genius. I love the idea of your team leader being able to keep you re-spawning. That sounds soooo fun. Meat Flag also sounds awesome.

*Cliff: "It's not this sadistic sit there for 5 minutes and saw of his head type of violence, we're not that type of game. We're very much a wham-bam-thank you ma'm type of experience" LOL~I love it.

*Downloadable Gears 1 maps is brilliant! *The different features for each map sounds cool~There's been all sorts of mention of things like this, but since Gears 1 I've been saying PUT A BERSERKER IN MULTIPLAYER! That would be rad...

AWESOME video! My personal Gears 2 hype train just took off...;)

Hey David,

Thanks for getting us the link and the info.

Keep up the good work.

You will meet your maker, the "chainsaw" and POLANDSTYLE

 video David, you guys did a great job, thanks for the info and the links.  The flame thrower is freakin awesome.  Did you guys hear Cliff say that the locust would be able to rip off a enemies arm and beat him to death with it??  Freakin SWEET!!

I mean, really, are they keeping the ridiculously lame active reload sniping?  I'd love to have FFF once Gears 2 comes out without any stupid rules to try and make it fun.

Also, has anyone confirmed Execution as a game type yet?  I really like that a lot better than Warzone.

Delete my post or is it me O.o

 saw some complaining in the making.  Did you guys see Dom throw the gernade on the locust and it stuck to him?  You don't even have to get close to tag now?

are not enough words in the English dictionary that describe how i'm feeling at this point.

Nothing looks lame and they are not even done with the tweaking yet...........oh!! my.

Is AWESOME, if there is a way to get a taste of the beta I hope Epic consider us a little bit and gave us early access.......

We have been supporting GoW nonstop ever since it came out.

See you guys later

Sorry, blankman I only have a digital watch!!!!!

Cliff somewhat hinted at a Brumak or Berserker being present in a MP map. Now that would be awesome.

Epic get rid of that AR snipe.  Looks great but I did see a lot of shotty work goin on I thought they were trying to go with a more distanced aproach.  Maybe Im just seeing things Ill have to watch again tho.

"What about the toe? FORGET ABOUT THE FUCKING TOE!"

Man, was everyone in a cranky mood! ;)

Still fun though~I sincerely believe the best part of Gears is the communication.  This is achieved through the pacing, ie: There is always time to chat; Not having to push anything to talk; and only having 3 other people to talk to.

anywhere else I can watch those videos from "thisisgame.com"? The buffering doesn't exactly work for me and it's a real pain watching it in bits and pieces.

found them on youtube

sorry about posting 3 times in a row, but if you watch the video where its Cliff and I think Rod, whenever Cliff demonstrates the smoke grenade stun on Rod, Rod's standing up still and when it explodes he just like falls over petrified, LMAO.

AnalogHype and click on his name, he has 3 of the vids, but make sure you watch it in HD, there should be a little button that says watch in High Quality

the stupid site just did nothing but buffer. I sure wish those vids were direct footage and not off screen, but its better than nothing.

Just reading it now.

Gears is my porn.

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My brother responded "Wow, that's stupid."

Blank, revoke his man-card immediately!

watching the videos again and still just as impressed.

Awesome of David to put gearheads at the end :)
