Oh My GOD!!! Gears 2 is going to be so amazing, I Cant wait. It sucks when you think about the fact that theres still 3 months, until its release. Gears Of War is among my favorite games of all time. At E3, I ran into Cliffy B himself, and I talked with him for about five minutes, hes really cool, by the way, hes a funny dude, and I thought Id tell you guys everything he told me about Gears 2, just in case youre behind on what theyve announced:
-Grenades can be attached to walls, and will detonate when an enemy comes near it, or if you shoot it.
-When you down someone, you can take them as a hostage, and use them as portable cover, but you can only use a pistol.
-They havent announced how, but Carmine is back, and is still fighting.
*CAMPAIGN*
-First level you get to fight a Brumak.
-You Get to ride a Derrick.
-At some point in the campaign, you get to ride a Reaver.
-About 3/4 through the game, you get to ride a Brumak.
*NEW WEAPONS*
-Flamethrower - and when you get an active reload, it shoots fire further.
-Mulcher - which is basically a turret, that you can carry, or mount onto something, for more accuracy.
