Does anybody think thats Gears of War 2 will be exactly the same gameplay as Gears 1 but with 4 new curb stomp animations and a mash the "B" button mini game for chainsaw duels.

I will probably not even buy it unless they show me something really cool.

YA it might be funner but will it really change that much. all they are doing is adding on to weapons and curb stomps and not really adding anything new except for chainsaw battles which probably will not be that fun.

I dont care what anyone says it will bring the new stuff because I say it will. But seriously it will bring enough new for me then it will have downloadable making it worth the 60$

You know Im starting to really think that Gears 2 should get a 10. I mean, you say its the same as the first, but its a sequel. Let me ask you, did you like GTAIV, isnt that a sequel. It is good but it took out some stuff from San Andreas that made it fun. Yet it still got a 10. Gears 2 is a sequel, and it is nothing like the first. The similaraties that I have noticed so far are the cover system(Gears 1 revolutionized this), the active reload(who thought it up) roadie run, freandae tagging and thats it. And if you say it looks like the first one, its a compliment because Gears 1 was a success and so will this.

Also chek this out and see if its the same. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/36064.html?type=flv

there a quite a few changes that are gonna really change things up in multiplayer, mayb not for u casual gears players but for big people that are still playing it seriously lyk in clan matchs n stuff, my clan jus recently went bust n i got about 6-7 different offers from yeh different clans so i know wat im talkn bout, n no i didnt take eny of them im jus gonna chill abit until gears 2 but yeh there are big differences lyk ive heard active sniper wont get u down in one shot, walk bouncing is gonna b takn oput or made harder some way i dunno how there gonna change that but cliffy aparently said so, the meat shield stuff as well is new n when u get hurt u slow down so no more frieght trains :(, theres the new weapons, the new curb stomps which im not to fond of but yeh there new i guess, n of course pretty much the only thing im lookn forward to the new maps. Now um i havnt counted them all from gears 1 but i would say 10 maps with 6 that were downloadable, they have lasted me until now im still playing gears 1 not as much as i used to but yeh u get my point i love gears n to be honest i dont want a whole lot of change apart from the maps. but yeh my point is there is quite a bit of change especially if u still play gears regularly

Actually GOW2 is going to have a bit of a storyline this time around...You are going to find out who Dom has been searching for and there are going to be items for you to collect that relates to the different tasks that you have to do...that if what my understanding is from watching the interview that Cliffy B gave.

There's far fewer people that might not buy it because the gameplay remains largely the same than there would be if they radically changed the game. Don't mess with success, that's pretty much any business moto.

Hey guys this isnt all the new stuff.We still have E3 to look forward too.Gears 1 was perfect.I think adding to that formula.Plus all the other stuff we havent been told will make this game in a sense different.Gameplay will be the same.Which is a good thing.Also the Singleplayer is being re vamped and is longer.Hopefully even more awesome than the firsts story.

If the original poster was talking about gameplay MECHANICS, the yes, they'll be the same. Why on earth would you want to change that aspect of the game. That's what made GeOW so awesome in the first place. Now, gameplay will definitely be different..human shields, hit slowdowns, varied exterminations etc etc. Plus, it's like the next xhapter in the story, the story progresses, different environments, different enemies(i hope they keep some of the older ones though, esp the Berzerkers!). Don't forget, you'll actually get to battle the Brumaks this time. And if you believe Cliffy, GeOW2 has enemies even bigger than the brumaks! If EPIC can keep the action pacing even equal to GeoW1 in this one, then I don't see any reason why this game would not rock!

Yes GTA IV was a sequel but not to San Andreas it was a sequel to GTA III, and if you compare those to games they are very different. I mean GOW 1 was sweet for me because it was refreshing to get a third person shooter instead of all the first person games, but now the only reason ill play it is for the story which seems to sound more dramatic this time around.

I've also seen all the multiplayer GOW 2 stuff and it looks alright and I saw the last Gametrailers TV which kinda changed my mind about it but it still not that interested.

You really are that innocent? GTAIV is the damn sequel to SA and sucks big time!

Well after watching the Gametrailer TV, I am stoked. This game will kick a$$. Even Cliff Blesinzski stated its not Gears 1.5, and that it will have bots, also the new map looked awesome. I want to go preorder it now, but I gotta wait.

I think GOW 2 will be one of the best games of the year. and all the ppl complaining dat it will be the same there r going to be some great changes. Its a sequel wat do u ppl want, for them to "fix what isn't broken" and ruin the game?

Well since nobody is with me on this post except for 1 or 2 people I guess i'll just stop trying to persuade everyone that GOW2 will be bad and just rent or buy it and see for myself when it comes out. Thank you for your opinions. And for killing my self esteem from all your negative comments. jk:)

either way gears2 will be worth it even if they dont redifine the gameplay its not like all the single player levels are gonna be they same? no its an entirely different story continuing off the first and plus from what ive herd they have the ability to put alot more baddies on screen at once which makes for some better gunfights too
