also 12-15 means 10 hours:P

as expected..

Selfownage with the first reply.. gotta love it. Anyway 12-15 hours is normally 8-12, so yea this won't end well if it's the lowest figure in my range.Espada12

i am heartbroken. :cry:

watch cows boil this down to 6 hours..lawlessx

lol, calm down, honestly tho, the hrs orignally mentioned for a game, usually ends up being shorter, depends how long it takes a person and how quick they can do it.

still cool, can't wait for the game.

honestly guys with Horde mode the game lasts forever. I'll see you guys online for that. Nobody reachded leevl 50 on insane. The most anybody has been able to reach was level 37 I believe.

I am going to need teh best of teh best to get to 50.

watch cows boil this down to 6 hours..lawlessx

Going to 6 hours would be a bit much but we all know, that when a magazine or website says a time frame on a game it normally translates to less than they said it would be.

12 - 15 Hours is about 5 days for me to complete. im probz going to go straight away and do on insane, after that im going to go online :D :D

the game is accspected to be good, just like GTA4 and Halo 3, i hope it does a better job then they did.

also does anyone know if, there is going to be ranks online?

pssh..me and my friends will be the first to reach level 50. :wink:

hell..ill even try doing it solo

id be more concerned with how good the 12-15 hours will be.

If portal or crysis warhead is any indication a short game can be nothing but stellar and memorable despite its length.

there will be online ranking and a matchmaking system similar to halo3's

Teamxbox has played through a final build of the game and they said it was about 25% longer than the first game.RonnieLottinSF

not talking about horde mode, which is nothing more than the centipede concept, we all no that 12 to 15 hours means 8-10 hours.

SOunds good, hopefully it doesnt have alot of boring moments though.

Joystiq pretty much beat it in 6 hours :? linkPOJO_MOFO

Anyways The length of the single player is no issue with me. Cause I'll spend about 100 hours playing MP.

I hope the match making is balanced like Halo. Like it won't pair against people that know each other against a group of team who are complete strangers. That was one of the things that annoyed me on the first one in rank. They tried to fix it by not having the name of the host appear, but that didn't really solve the problem.

wow thats amazing...considering gears 1 was like 6 hours..you know whats more amazing...resistance2..around 20+ hours...first was around 12.but this will be longer..now thats amazingplanbfreak4eva

Great news. This Gears 2 just keeps looking & sounding like a GOTY candidate and I wasn't saying that up until just a few days ago.

We shall see.

Originally Uncharted was supposed to be 12 or more hours......it ended up being about 8 hrs.

The single player time is always inflated before the game is actually released. It's like developers know they get bad marks these days if the game is short so if they say it will be X....usually you can cut off about 20%. They say 10 hrs....it's probably 8 hrs. They say 10-12 hrs....it's probably 8-10 hrs long.
