In
the latest episode of GameTrailers TV, baby-faced Geoff Keighley got a chance to have a pow-wow with
Gears of War 2's designer and poster boy, Cliff Bleszinski, who
revealed some of the game's heretofore unannounced additions. Chief among said additions are a new multiplayer map titled "Day-One", which features a sizable
emergence hole and its massive, treacherous occupant, and the inclusion of AI bots in the game's multiplayer modes, as featured in another of Epic's staple franchises,
Unreal Tournament.
Other big reveals during the episode include the revivification of a map from
the original Gears' "Hidden Fronts" DLC pack titled "Subway", the addition of player-controlled tanks, and a limited edition red,
Gears of War 2-themed Xbox 360 to be released around the title's launch. With
the veritable cornucopia of information already unleashed about Microsoft's holiday blockbuster, we're beginning to wonder if they've got any frags up their sleeves
for next week's showcase.
