Gears of War 2 is a tactical third-person shooter video game in development by Epic Games and to be published by Microsoft Game Studios exclusively for the Xbox 360. It is the sequel to the critically acclaimed best-seller Gears of War, and was announced by lead designer Cliff Bleszinski during the February 20, 2008 Game Developers Conference. The game will use a heavily upgraded version of the Unreal Engine 3. During E3 2008, a worldwide release date for the game was set for November 7, 2008.
In Gears of War 2, the Locust have found a way to make giant emergence holes capable of destroying entire cities at once. Marcus Fenix and the rest of the COG Delta Squad are now drilling underground to “take the fight to the Locust.” In a teaser of the first scenes of gameplay of Gears of War 2, COG soldiers engage in battle with a large army of Locust as they travel to drill into the underground region. Comic book writer Joshua Ortega says, “The stakes are raised. This is humanity’s last stand. Everything is at risk. Nothing is safe.”
Coming soon!

I am very disappointed for multiplayer, ghostly graphics not as smooth as Gears 1. When using shotgun, can’t tell whether or not you’re using it, weak sound. Also, waiting forever to join the game and it doesn’t allow you to choose your own map…. 2 thumbs down!!!

Xbox 360 sucks hardcore. I dont own one. I will never own one. And anybody i know that has one i pimp slap them for owning something that will be a 300+ dollar paper weight. My girl’s step dad has gone through 6 of them. And a few friends have gone through 3-5 and in the end. No xbox for them because it waited a bit to break.
So epic not makeing a PC port of gow2 is pretty much saying they dont enjoy money. Thats fine with me dude im a grown man. Just add that game to the list of thing’s i will never play and or could care less about! LATERS!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO

Gears of war and Gears of war 2, are the best games that I have ever played on the 360. The only thing that makes it less cool is that now, players are using lag switches, which really makes me made. I have been a gold rank on gears 2 for sometime know, and just when I know I’m about to rank up , someone uses their stupid lag switches to screw up everyone’s rank. Well overall, I still think that is a BEAST GAME!!!!!
