Feast your eyes on the above trailer for Gears of War 2, preparing us for the return of gaming's favorite steroid junkie and his racially diverse chums. Yes, Epic's wildly popular shooter is almost here, and I can't wait.
I am a big fan of the first Gears of War, so I'm more than ready to receive a second dose. Strangely, I'm one of the ... one people who liked the original game's single player mode better than its multiplayer, so I'm glad that Epic is committed to making it as robust and interesting as they can.
That said, I'll be more than happy to get chainsawed to death by some of you guys. If you're picking this up, let Destructoid know. We want to shoot at you.

I had a go on the standard multiplayer at the Eurogamer expo today and yeah if you told me it was Gears of War 1 then I would have believed you. It was still great fun though!
That said, multiplayer chainsaw lambada is go.
Was I not supposed to laugh at that part?
I'll see your British ass online Jim!
Gears of War was too buggy and broken to work well in multiplayer.
...
Oh, shut up, that is so fucking not a spoiler.
Seriously dude...don't be a dick.
I SO WANT THIS GAME. I WANT ITS PEEPEE!
i usually can't get into multiplayer online games... i used to really love playing (quake 2), but now.. i dunno, online multiplayer would be a lot more fun if it wasn't for the fucking people playing it.
I liked single player better because the cover actually mattered. That being said, I look forward to the improved multiplayer.
I'll be picking it up at the midnight launch.
