Gears of War 2 strategic third-person shooter game that was developed by Epic Games, but it will be published by Microsoft Game Studios solely for the Xbox 360. Gears of War was the prequel to this game. The game will utilize a severely upgraded version if the Unreal Engine 3. A worldwide release date of November 7, 2008 was set for Gears of War 2.
In this game, Gears of War 2, the Locust have engineered a way to make emergence holes that have the capability to sink an entire city at one time. Marcus Fenix and the remaining members of the COG Delta Squad begin to drill underground to combat the attacks.
GAMEPLAY
SINGLE PLAYER MODE
Gears of War 2 will consist of much of the same combat that the first Gears of War consisted of, which was a third person game that has a heavy emphasis on utilizing good cover rather than the tactic of running and shooting. Marcus Fenix spices thing up when he takes part in a chainsaw duel with a Locust.
John DiMaggio is the voice actor of the main character, Marcus Fenix. Players will be able to fight against the large Brumaks. In Gears of War 2, there will be a more intense story line, new characters, new weapons, and new raging enemies.
Gears of War 2 allows the ability to duel with an AI or human opponent if both use the chainsaw attachment of the Lancer rifle. Players can use slain enemies as shields. Injured players can crawl to attempt staying alive. Players will hit A to crawl faster. There will be a blood trail following the injured player or enemy. An injured player or enemy can be killed in other ways.
Players can play on individual co-play settings. For example, one player can play on the Casual difficulty level and the other teammate and play on Hardcore. The system will give each player the difficulty that he is playing on. This gives each player a fair challenge. Players will be able to have multiple save files that will allow the player to drop in and drop out of the game. There is a new difficulty level that is below Casual. Some of the Xbox Live achievements can be accomplished through both play in single player and multiplayer mode.
COG tags include the collection of story-based items like personal letters and medical records.
New weapons are present in the game along with weapons from the previous game. Weapons have been altered for improved accuracy, function, and power. Grenades can be used as mines when placed on the walls or floors. They will detonate when approached. New to the game, is the ability that the force of nearby explosion will have on the player. The player can be knocked down by the force.
MUTIPLAYER
Gears of War 2 has been severely upgraded, as it allows up to ten players to play together. There are three new online multiplayer modes. They are “Wingman”, “Guardian”, and “Submission.” “Guardian” is basically the same thing as “Assassination” from the original Gears of War. However, this mode allows players to continue fighting after leader has been killed, but players will not respawn. The mode, “Wingman” divides the ten players into five teams of two. Both team members play as the same character. “Submission” was known as “Meat Flag” and is a version of capture the flag. Players attempt to kill the enemy and move the body to their team’s base to get points.
A new co-op game mode is called “Horde” this allows a team of up to five players to work together to fight loads of attacking Locust. Horde Mode doesn’t support bots and can be played alone. The multiples of attacking Locust will increase in difficulty as the players’ progress.
