- New Gears Footage Shows Off Various Improvements
- Posted About 1 month ago by Coop
In the new footage above, Epic's Clifford Bleszinski (Cliffy B., B-Dawg, The Cliffmeister, etc) details many of the new features in Gears of War 2, getting me even more excited for the sequel, due out later this year. Other than the nice graphical leap, Epic seems to have been able to find plenty of ways to improve the existing formula. Weapons now have stopping power akin to Counter-Strike, which means that being pounded with bullets slows your character down. I have always been a fan of this feature - it gives a better feeling in the game.
Also detailed is the team deathmatch variant, pitting several teams of two players each against each other. Next to meat flag, this is definitely the best idea yet. Jumping into a game with a friend and moving through the halls with several different parties coming after me sounds exhilarating and exciting. Taking players hostage, the “death crawl,” booby trapping, and other enhancements are sure to make Gears 2 the highlight multiplayer shooter of 2008. Anyone else getting more excited every day for this game?

If only there were more people out there in the videogame development world like Cliff.....
Good call Jozzy... I'm psyched too, but let's get something new.
I think this was the first video where he didn't say the "bigger, better and more badass" line. Anyway, Gears 2 is looking great! I like the idea of setting grenade traps.
there are about 80 different video's on the web of Cliffy B. getting interviewed and saying the same thing. New info would be awesome Cliffy.
good god this is going to rule.
