GOW2 details: multiplayer, vehicles, Carmine's back!

All sounds amazing the only thing I want now is 4 player online co-op and my wishlist will be complete.

So glad that the curb stomp returns.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, BAM!!! I hope it indeed does have COD4/Halo3 matchmaking systems and Rank level ups. 5 vs 5 means the maps are probably going to be a bit larger which is great.

Resistance and Killzone2 dont have anything on this! Gears 2 will have it all, great graphics, sound, story, MP, gore, executions, and its just going to be all around more fun to play than any other title! COD4 and GTAIV move over!

yeah, so far i've been more impressed with just what's been shown of Gears 2 than the past year of Killzone and Resistance news. in terms of gameplay and graphics Gears still remains a pretty marketable franchise with a unique style all it's own while R2 and KZ 2 just seem a bit flatter in comparison.

does anyone else think the chainsaw dueling will be a problem in multiplayer? i mean with lag issues and all?

this is looking to be pretty awesome.

I just hope they make a regular deathmatch game type with respawns. I hate it when you have two campers at the end of a match that refuse to just come out and fight. Other than that, GoW2 is looking like an amazing game.

Awesome that Carmine is coming back. It's not too often that you find your name shared with a video game character.

Liking all the details so far, must agree with Ryan as well..the news I've heard about GEOW2 has been far more interesting and exciting over the last 2 months than R2/KZ2 at all. o.0

ZOMBIE CARMINE!!!!!!!!

wow

I guess he's our Sgt Johnson to Halo. Carmine that is.

Can't wait! They're fixing everything on my list :)

"Dare we hope for a Halo-inspired party system?"

I think a party system is a no-brainer at this point.

Haha, crawling away bleeding tons of pixel-blood, awesome. I can't wait to see that.

Crawling away from the Berserkers in GoW1 would have been helpful sometimes. :x

CURBSTOMP!

Carmine better come back as a zombie or something. o_O .. Dunno how they're gonna explain a dude surviving a brain + bullet shishkabob.

CARMINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Carmine comes back, but as a puppet for the Locust or something.

and I seriously am rocking the hugest bulge right now over this game. It's outta control. I'm more hyped then ever.

The only thing that's got me skittish is the chainsaw dueling. If it's really just button mashing that determines the winner that is going to suck (provided it's in multiplayer). That seems like the type of mechanic that can be easily manipulated or that can be altered and messed with due to incongruent connections and whatnot.

I just don't want button mashing to become a major mechnaic in an online battle.


5 on 5 death matches though? That's the tits. I wonder what the types of combat will be. I hope no annex, spawn camping ruined that before it ever got off the ground.

It sounds awesome. I just REALLY hope that they leave in couch co-op like the first one.

I just wish i knew how carmine came back, cause theres 1 guy in live i played with and he said if both kim and carmine come back he would belive me....thats so stupid
