Gears 2 'Dark Corners' DLC screens emerge (Update) photo

Epic Games just released two images taken from the Road to Ruin campaign mission included in the upcoming Gears of War 2 DLC, “Dark Corners.” As we said previously, “Dark Corners” isn’t a traditional bit of content. Road to Ruin is Epic’s first attempt at bringing downloadable single-player content to the series and it’s mildly different than the typical campaign stuff. In the add-on, players will be presented with a choice deep in the Locust Hollow: be stealthy or be Rambo.

Earlier this week, designer Cliff Bleszinksi talked about the Road to Ruin content on Major Nelson’s podcast. He revealed that it was a “ninety-minute” swathe of content cut from the game. In other words, Road to Ruin is ten sh--loads of new.

Interestingly, neither of the images have Dom and Marcus. Instead, we’re presented with Baird and Cole. We’re not complaining about it: it’s just that these two guys don’t look as cute as the dynamic duo in their little Theron outfits.

Gears of War 2 “Dark Corners” hits with the "All Fronts" collection on July 28 for fifteen bucks

[Update: OK. OK. I forgot the Internet considers everything old. Anyway, here's some more screens taken strictly from the multiplayer portion. These just hit my wire as well, but they're probably old. Anything not released within the last six or seven seconds is old, right? Check out these ridiculously old screens in the gallery below.]

I'm bloody confused about what's what here. Road to Ruin is the campaign? Dark Corners is the NEW maps? And the whole things (R2R, DC + Three map packs avaible already) is All Fronts - which is retail only? Can you get All Fronts as DLC without all the posters and that? Mind Boggling. I mean, we're Gears players, how are we supposed to understand something so complicated?

I'm not a Gears of War fan, buy I do like Coletrain and Baird. If they just killed off Marcus and Dom, and used the comedy of a B/C team to go ass-wild with the level/weapon/enemy design and story, I'd be very interested (essentially, make 3D Contra (but better than the actual 3D Contra's).

I'm confused too, I would love more single player campaign but have never cared for the multiplayer. You can't just get it separately? Why the hell not?

I love that picture. It says, "We're such manly space marines you don't even know how manly we are."

@Magnalon: Obviously you haven't been around many sports junkies. Cole Train has many, many real world counterparts.
