Quantcast



During the Xbox Press Conference, Cliff Bleszinski got on stage and showed off another portion from Gears of War 2. Marcus Fenix, along with Dom, are running through the remains of the planets final home for humanity. Some of the new weapons, enemies and other new new features are shown throughout this six-minute presentation.

Towards the end of the video, the building Marcus and Dom are in collapses and they need to escape by taking an elevator, sideways. Marcus and Dom then get behind the Brumak that took the building down and a cinema starts up showing that Marcus wants to hijack the Brumak: "If they can ride them, so can we".

Before Cliff leaves the stage, he reveals a new multiplayer mode called Horde. A team of five will play together as they have to take on swarms of Locust forces. Gears of War 2 will be dropping this November 7, just two days before what the rumors were saying.

Hit the jump for video plus a new depressing trailer in the style of the Gears of War 1 "Mad World" trailer.

Gears 2 has a date, this is great news. I'm excited as hell about hijacking a Burmac.

Gameplay looks fun, except for the occasional black screen. I haven't played the first, but the stuff they've been putting out makes me want to pick up the second.

I'm really excited to try out the new "Hold the Fort" style game mode, and of course who wouldn't enjoy the whole bit with the Brumak between their legs.

The monologue over the trailer is from a poem by Alan Seeger, aptly entitled "I Have a Rendevouz with Death."

I really like the tone of that trailer, even if the game is likely to be more of the same.
