...and I have to say damb, goog job epic:eek:. But in response to this thread (http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?t=10835&highlight=gears+war)on whether it kicks H3's ass, I have to say "eh". Gow2 is amazing, no question. Graphic improvemrnt and different lighting really make a difference! I've only played the first four campaign levels and its looking good.

The new features such as meatsheild (cool but u can only use ur secondary wep), curbstomp, coller chainsaw animations (angles, angles angles = blood everywhere) and death crawl (REALLY usefull in co-op, can crawl to safety when down to be revived but if u get killed, u reload lat checkpoint) are really great. I am sad to say i didnt get into any chainsaw fights yet, but im sure they will be cool. Shooting bling helps to if your really bogged down and u can also throw grenades that way too. Also you can set the difficulties different for individual player in co-op, which was good b/c my freind sucked and i wanted a challenge. I played that level you see in the trailler, with the wraiths, and it was action packed from beginig to end, there wasn't over 20 secs withoput some kind of enemy trying to mutilate/blow u up/shoot you.

As for the cutscenes, they look very nice, and the story is progressing nicely (except i didnt like Dom's bitching seen, u'll see 11-7).

Characterwise, the new additions are interesting, amusing and kinda weird. Tai, that guy with the tatoos is really wierd (in what he says) and is JACKED, bigger than Cole. Carmine bro is the comic releif character, the first cutscene is really funny with him.

Gameplay was the same as Gow1 pretty much, take cover, shoot, chainsaw, run and ect. Only the the new features above are really new (at least that ive played, there may be more stuff coming). The new AR is cool because it fires as fast as u can pull the trigger (literaly) and u can zoom in more after u go into your sights.

Going back to whether it beats H3, i'll say yes, campaign wise. I havn't played the GoW2 multiplayer yet, and thats where I think H3 is still going to be better. So, in conclusion Gears 2 is awsome but it does not wipe the floor with H3.

I fell so bad for you GoW fans out there, having to wait another 20 days, but I really don't mean to brag or anything like that, but you are definitly going to get what you are witing for, i assure it.

I have to wait till tommorow to play again becasue my freind bring his 360 to school everyday. I'll try to make a vid tommorow. Cya

So, if it's not out yet, how did you get to play it? Leaked version of the game?

Most likely leaked, it's all over torrent sites.

I love how people try to compare first and third person shooters. I dont like third person shooters in general.

They are two completely different types of games. You cannot compare them. Thats like comparing a racing game to an RTS. Yes, they both involve vehicles but not in the same way.

ok, I am not discussing piracy, well i am but not in the sense that the forum rules prohibit (so please no infraction, please, let me explain). I am simply informing the naive masses on not so good stuff out there. Also, I am not that skilled and do not have that sort of "HAX". Lets just say my friend acquired a, full, leaked copy from an unknown location, not a demo or beta. This kid has 3 360's, 2 of which that have flashed hard drives (which let you play burned games). He came in to school today, said he had GoW2, it was on a dual-layer DVD. He also had Halo 3 two week b4 it came out and that was sick as well. I was not going to pass this up for, idk, "ethical reasons". Common, GoW2.

So yes to this, beacause it is true, not because i am discussing piracy, because i am NOT.

Most likely leaked, it's all over torrent sites.

But "torrents are for n00bs" says my friend, he uses somrthing called "U___" ... well im not going to tell because that would be discussing piracy, in the bad sense.

Also yes to what both Heathan and Zeph said, they ae different, i thought my post would imply that (maybe not, but thats what I was tryingto get at).

Finally to ultama121 comment

It probably must suck. Look on the bright side, its only 20 days. I got lucky. Also, I do not endorse piracy in any was and I urge you not to take any such measures to aquire this game without PAYING for it, but if a store sells it to you early, go for it because thats not illegeal on yoour part, only the stores. BUT dont worry, its worth the wait.

Way to call the entire community naive, are you an idiot or something?

I know a bunch of people here that are just like your so called "friend" when it comes to console modding and such. I was the same way with my XBOX (original), and my friends and I were playing Halo 2 on LAN a week or so before it was released.

I'm not impressed by this.

Of course not. We're the naive ones. And what about me? I don't recall mentioning anything...

^THIS

I hate it when people are like GoW is incredibly superior to Halo!!!111!!!111!!!11!1 No, GoW just has a completely different graphical filter + lighting + genre. Both are VERY different. I find 3rd person to get boring or repetitive over a while. IMO.

I've been playing it for like 2 hours now, Its INCREDIBLY fun. Horde mode is the best multilayer experience, once you get to level 10 with difficulty on x4 its so fun. Theres like 4 of us that have been playing it, you get a whole new SP experience in MP. The things that attack you vary so much.


Love the game, im on the second level of campaign

u know what actually, i said "THE naive masses out there" not "YOU naive masses out there" so my comment was only directed towards the naive people.

Im not an asshole and I would not consider anyone here navie, on the contrary, I coldnt do a 1/4 of what most of u do in halo ce, h2v.

Im gonna end this with GoW2 is amazing and thats that.
