Here's a quick little 1min 20sec video of Horde Gameplay on the new Gridlock. Only thing is, it's an off-screen video, but if you hit "watch in high quality" makes up for that.

That's sweet (none / 0)

At about 1:05 you can see in the bottom left that a locust curb stomped a COG. I think that's awesome.

I'm feeling California and looking Minnesota.

It was cool seeing a Locust down but not out, however not on his knees, rather he was laying on his back. Nice variety!

  think this could maybe be a last stand type of thing? Maybe it's specific only to horde where the AI can still have a chance of taking you out...to make it harder? I dunno

  where are you guys seeing locusts on their backs? The one at 30 seconds that the guy shot at was already dead.

I'm not pointing this out (none / 0)

to verify my earlier posts about glitches. I saw a comment on the youtube page. Were the some of the locusts crabwalking or just roadie running? That would be crazy to have a mode where all the locusts crabwalked.
Also, could anyone tell what stats were displayed on the scoreboard?

by Noobpancake on Sat Jul 19, 2008 at 05:49:16 PM EST
- for the stats (none / 0)
  
  they probably just show how many locust each person has/did kill in each wave. And probably total points?

HORDE! (none / 0)

I swear, this is probably my most favorite feature of Gears 2 that I've heard of so far. Obviously Campaign will come first for me, but the idea of an arcadey-Gears that you can play with 4 of you friends is just really freakin' cool.
Definitely be playing this day one.

NXE FTW!

I want to play this mode more and more every time I watch it. Shall we start organizing teams already? ;P

by RoBBins0096 on Sun Jul 20, 2008 at 08:55:28 PM EST
- Absolutely! (none / 0)
  
  Well, you just know we have to have our AAA team of the top 7 or 8 Gearheads to take the game right to the killscreen, and then come back and tell all of us what it was like. And then we also need the allsorts teams comprised of the ABCandD players! ;) WOOO HOOO! Cannot wait! RoBBins, you stay perched, I'll run ammo for you! :D
