Chairman Prescot Speach>>
"Humans are no stranger s to War. After all, we've been fighting for as long as we can remember.
War Is All We Know.
In the past, we fought for imulsion. We fought for country. We fought for Freedom.
But all that Changed after E-Day.
For 15 years , we've been fighting for our very survival against inhuman, genocidal monsters.
But it is a fight we cannot continue. Humanity faces extinction; unless we end this war now!
We had hoped the Lightmans' Bombing would decimate the Locust Horde but they Survived…
… and here returned stronger than ever.
They've brought with them a force that can sink entire cities. Even Jacinto, our last beacon of hope through all these dark days, is now at risk.
Soon we'll have nothing left to defend, and that means we have only one option…
... A t t a c k !
Gears, what I ask of you now is not an easy thing, but it is necessary.
If we are to survive…
…if we are to live long enough to see the seasons pass, our children grow, and experience a time of peace that we have never known…
…We must now take this fight to the Locust!
We will go to where they live and where the breed… and we will destroy them!
This is the day we take the battle to the heart of the enemy!
This is the day that we correct the course of human history!
This is the day we ensure our survival as a species!
Soldier of the COG, my fellow Gears, go fort and bring back the hope of humanity!"

The highly anticipated sequal also has a new Multi player Mode. Horde. you and up to Four other players join in a Co-op campaign of Surviving Waves and Waves of locust Hordes that grow stronger each time. With a total of 50 waves its no easy task but is my favorite Multi player mode even above the original Warzone and Elimination modes. So with that said the modes from Gears are all continued in the sequal with new maps as well as Several "throwback Maps" that are redone with improved graphics and effects.
In total this series is reason enough to own a Xbox 360 along with Halo 3. Games like these Xbox 360 only games are true games of Innovation.
