Ok so there has been a lot of threads posting the new features for GeOW 2 and for the sake of not being too redundant I will not make a list. My question is of all the stuff you have heard what features or changes do you like the most? I guess if you like you can list things you dislike as well.

Personally I love the new meat flag mode and I like the changes they made to assassination mode. I also like the sound of the shield and the new finishers.

I really like the added ability to crawl in Warzone. Oh yeah, I'm psyched for the flamethrower too.

OH MY GOD? You get to crawl?! That'll be really useful, go EPIC! I love the Chainsaw thing where you clash together, now for once i dont need to get angry when i know for a damn fact that i had the chainsaw revving longer than my enemy doing the same.

yeah the chainsaw dues look cool.

IMO, i love the way that EPIC is constructing GOW2, because rather than try to rebuild a game that was almost perfect, they are taking the best parts of part 1, and making them even better with teh additions of new weapons, tactics, and abilities. My only gripe is only that the game probably won't earn a perfect score, but i believe it will be 9.8 at least.

As long as the campaign is awesone I think the game has a good chance to get a 10.

im excited to see what they do about having so many enemies on screen at once. it would be awesome to at some point have to just fight through this huge crowd of locusts to get to a destination. imagine that scene from the matrix reloaded where neo was fighting those hundreds of smith agents, but instead theyre locusts and ur blowing them to pieces with ur shotgun and sawwing them in half.

1. I'm glad that they are expanding Dominic's (MY FAVORITE CHARACTER) storyline

2.The crawl feature

3. The Epicness(I KNOW IT'S NOT A WORD lol) of the game in general.

I love the chainsaw duels, new game modes, and new engine allowing many characters onscreen. I love the fact that each of teh four face buttons now have an execution to them.

Dominic sotryline sounds nice, any kind of match with less glitch and host advantage would be sweet, flamethrower!!! i knew they would put it in this game you cant have gore if you cant roast the enemy, I expect a better explanation for the humans/locust war, that would make the game a lot deeper, not just kill them for being ugly

I couldn't care less about a story in this game. Give me blood, gore, and action. If you bought the first expecting an oscar-winning narrative -- you're crazy.

And yes, this game looks amazing. New executions/game modes/weapons/maps, longer SP campaign (with possible 4-player coop), and fixed lag/host advantage all look to make this game a perfect 10 in my book.

the story in the first one was nonexistent, so it wouldn't be hard to improve on it...i just hope that epic doesn't concentrate too much on the multiplayer

MP was where it was at for the 1st Gears. It was also where there was the most problems so I am happy to see they are focusing on MP this time around. Trust me the story will be better and longer than the first. This game will be a 10 watch and see.

everyone thinks that every big game that comes out is going to receive a 10 now because GTAIV and MGS4 got 10s. those were the first 10s in years on gamespot and IGN. my point is, dont expect every big game to receive a 10 now.

I don't expect it to get a 10 based only on the fact that it is a big game. I base it on the fact that the first got a 9.6 and the only complaints that it got focused on the fact that there was not much story. From what has been released thus far it seems like they have worked to provide a story this time so that we can relate to the characters. They have also fixed all the minor problems with MP and expanded it. There will also probably be 4 player coop and they are having destructible environment. Basically, it is going to have it all. If it delivers a good story and does all the things that it says it will (and does not pull a Fable) then it will get a 10.

yeah, but when the first one came out it was so much better than any other game at the time as far as graphics and gameplay. thats one of the reasons it got such a big score. the second one wont have that luxury.

i am actually really excited about stopping power with weapons like the lancer. itll make the game much more tactical reather than a shotgun fest.
