...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
