Gears of war 2

trying to do the 50 waves on hoarde tonight from 10.20 pm , anyone interested pop ya name down so i know who to invite , cheers , manse

some photos from last nights hoard

was good fun

cheers guys

cheers MOK , was very good i thought , gears is worth the money just for the multiplayer IMO , hopefull i should be around tonight for some points whoring if anyone is up for it

i've not even really looked at the mp as I have been so engrossed with the story

am almost at the end of act 4 on normal and really enjoying it

certainly will play it through again on hardcore as a co-op

Im hearing that it uses the Halo3 lobby system, which i recall is a pain in the arse... any joy anyone?

lobby system works fine , no issues up to yet , easy to navigate and invite ( and kick ) voice works fine so all good up to yet , story line is a bit short , completed on casual in about 10 hours but now its time for the insane settings to be put to full effect

Love the photos, but can I say there a bit "day trip to sgegness"....here we are in the high street, here we are at the steps.....heres when that strog blew manses head off, oh we laughed and laughed.
Looks good and theres lots of raveing going on about it accross the net. I await a review manse, with holiday snaps LOL but jokeing aside, how dose the cover system work compared to last time? How big are the online maps compared to last time? These were the 2 factors about the first game I didn't like (the only 2)

ok my views on Gears 2 , game is far too short in my opinion but a good storyline just like the first , gets a bit tedious in places when travelling on vehicles and easy is far too easy , am now playing through on insane and i cant even get the first level completed as its pretty much 2 hits and you are dead , gears 1 i hated online but this is so different , multiplayer is far more organised with about 6 types of game mode which are all very good , selection of maps are varied from really big to very small , oh and you get 5 free downloadable maps from Gears 1 , Gears 2 from local supermarkets is around the £30 mark which i think is a good thing as they could of shoved a £40 -£45 price tag on it and everyone would of still bought it anyway so nice to see us not getting ripped off on this one , as for the pictures we were playing hoarde ( 5 of us all off here ) and its basically wave after wave of locusts coming at you getting harder and harder , if you die you can go into ghostcam mode which lets you float around the map wherever you want and give the others an indication of where they are coming from / hiding etc , will say that gears 2 is as good if not slightly better than 1 purely for the multiplayer side of it which is really good and with a £30 pricetag its a bargain and a must have

insane was a good crack last night and but for work today I would have stayed on longer to try and get that niggly section done; have been thinking about how to not get the non computer guy killed

won't be online much tonight but certainly want to come back to insane in the next few days if you are up or it

Nice

First on my (long) list of games to get come crimbo time
