Gears of War 3's Anya briefs us on Horde 2.0
45
While we've already said our two pennies' worth on the revamped Horde mode in Gears of War 3, some of you may appreciate having actual pictures to look at, as opposed to those mental pictures we try to paint with words. And this video is, like, a ton of pictures -- moving ones, at that!

Berserkers, lambent berserkers, and brumaks are some of the bosses. Corpsers for another one maybe? Or perhaps some new big, badass lambent.

Wow.
I have to say they have done a really well job on this.
Really impressed on how much they added into horde.
Can't wait to play this with 3 of other buddies.

I venture to say that Gears 3 might possibly be the most polished game of the year.

i'm going to have to agree. i'm sure i'm not the only one who was disappointed when it got delayed, but now i can't help but be thankful for the extra time epic has had to work out all the kinks. the beta was awesome, horde 2.0 looks fantastic, the executions are more brutal than ever, i can't wait!!!

So I guess you can't just play Vanilla Horde if you wanted to then?
Not a huge deal this does look pretty awesome.

Gears is the only thing 360 has to make me want one... if only they didn't charge for online I might actually own a RROD machine.

Ya. That $60 a year is such a waste. It buys things like a secure network, better social networking, and the most inventive add-on for a console.
I mean who would want that. Not me. I like having my online network go down for a month.

don't be such a homo. put your ignorance to the side for a minute and just consider the excellent xbla library and the exclusives like limbo, trenched, twisted pixel games, ilomilo, and shadow complex (among others). then there's alan wake, halo: reach, forza, conviction, and, of course, the gears series. also, since the redesigned console launched i think the massive failure rate is a thing of the past. i have one, and it's actually quieter than my ps3. oh, and it installs games to the harddrive, which is great!!!
anyway, both ps3 and 360 have strengths and weaknesses, so can you make an effort to not talk out of your ass steve? please? i know you're a steve any everything, but c'mon. no one likes a whiny bitch.

You, sir, are my hero.
I love my Jet-Engine, Disc-Eating, little Gremlin. I don't care about the RRODs (I have had 6 separate incidents) or the fact Microsoft seems gut developers who even think about free content. To me, it has more character than a PS3. Sorry, but good old American ingenuity always wins, in my opinion.
*Key phrase = IN MY OPINION.
God knows I'll be downvoted by some Sony Creeper in xbox section.

All I heard from Anya in the beta was: "Yaaaaaaaaaggggh! Hrrrrgh!"

@captplut9465 I always laughed at the "mommy?" comment she would say if a torque bow nailed her right before she exploded.
Also, don't forget the overly long, erotic moans of death that made my wife wonder what I was playing half the time.

That's hilarious, I never caught that audio I guess because of all the carnage going on around.

Even though it's a small touch, I like the "trade weapon" option.
Posted: Jun 23rd 2011 3:51AM F1shBone said
Somehow the additions made the mode look less fun to me. I really don't like building walls. Trading weapons and bonus objectives are a plus. I would rather have seen classes added to the game. If only engineers built stuff I wouldn't be forced to do that. I always want to be a medic.

I dislike the fact that every time I heard "The Lambent", I always have flashes of "The Flood" from the Halo series since they are basically the same thing. But other than that Gears 3 looks awesome.

@Xero Theory
The flood like creatures in gears are actually called Sires, not Lambent.

@xFenixKnightx No, Im talking about the mutated forms that have extra arms etc. that are basically a mutated race that are out for themselves just like the Flood, which are the Lambent. http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Lambent_Locust
But I agree that Sires are very "Flood" like too.

So apparently reloading the page no longer lets you skip the ANNOYING AS HELL pre-commercial? Is there some other trick to get around this?
(aside from not watching any videos at Joystiq anymore.)
anyone? just curious.
