Gears of War 2's active sniper will not insta-down
The one and only Cliff Bleszinski popped up on the
NeoGAF forums where the latest video of
Gears of War 2 was being discussed, to clarify the Longshot sniper's abilities. Responding to a remark claiming that "active downs with the Longshot are still existent in
Gears 2", Cliff denied the claim, stating that the Longshot will not have insta-down abilities in
Gears 2. Honestly, we're glad. An active reload with
Gears' Longshot sniper was a downing machine in multiplayer that was way too easy to pull off. Though, this begs another question, what damage will an actively reloaded sniper cause in
Gears 2? Hmmm ...
