    Before you automatically click the back button on your browser because this game isn't Nintendo-related, read the next sentence.

    In Gears of War, you kill people with chainsaws.


    Now that I have your attention, Gears of War was one of the best titles we saw at E3. It'll be coming out on the 360 and promises a very violent good time. Check out the links and reply!

      I'm really looking forward to this game personally, has anyone seen the gameplay videos? It's a nice change from your average FPS games and it's quite fast-paced which is nice. But one problem I am fearing since I saw the gameplay videos is this: Lag. Some games have alot more lag than others, and if this game lags it will not be very fun at all.

      The chainsaw item to attatch to your guns is cool, but nothing special for me. What is special for me is the Shotgun, I just love how your character runs up behind the same pillar your enemy is hiding behind so you're facing back to back, and then jumps out from the pillar, jumps over the big rock, and at that exact moment the enemy jumps out to shoot you down but you whip out a shotgun and blow him back while leaping across. It just looks like DA SHIZZAY.

        From what I've seen, lag is almost non-existant on the 360. It's a very powerful machine. Gears of War is kind of a more violent version of Resident Evil 4 from what I've seen.

          From what I've heard it's awesome. I've seen pics of it all over the place and it looks great.
          It's definitely a game I'm going to check out and probably buy.

            Another game which makes me want to get a 360. It looks simply amazing, and i'm from the looks of it, it could be the next Halo. I can't wait till the game comes out, my friend will probably get it, and i'll test it out there. :)

              I really can't wait for this game! Its script was written by Eric Nylund, the guy who wrote two out of the three Halo books that tie into the game. It looks pretty sweet to me.

                The power of the 360 has nothing to do with Lag. The Xbox itself was a powerful console, arguably the most powerful out of the three although it's fair to say both the PS2 and Gamecube had certain 'components' which were more powerful than the Xbox, in general the Xbox was the most powerful in my opinion (it's also a fact but for some reason I didn't feel like making it so blunt).

                Lag is mainly caused by the connection of the host and the other players. Your connection speed and location is a very large factor when it comes to how badly your game will lag. Why do you think my clan is for UK gamers only? Because if it was an international clan then we would have gamers from Australlia, America, England, France etc. and the huge variety of connections would make the matches laggier. Who wants a clan match when it lags? Nobody.

                So as long as GoW doesn't lag like a mother****er, I'm dying to get my hands on it so I can own some more Americans.

                  When I saw the chainsaw scene on E3 06 live, me and my dad just cracked up at its goryness and disgustingness. We just thought it was so incredibly realistic yet in a sense overdone that we blew up.

                    Really? The chainsaw didn't even excite me, let alone make me laugh. Man, Gore is so overdone nowadays that it feels so normal, it's no wonder that games like Ico are becoming favoured, such games offer maturity without blood splatting over your screen everytime you slash your enemy.

                      It didn't excite me as much as make me just laugh at how they put in so much stupidly amounts of blood.

                        I'm bumping this topic because the game was just released. So far the reviews have been extremely positive. It's supposed to be the best game yet for the XBox 360. This is mostly because of the immense online experience, that has 3 different modes for multiplayer (pure killing), and a co-op mode for you and a friend (online or not)

                        Is anyone else excited about this game?

                          I would like to try this game out, but it just doesn't sound like the kind of game I like. I don't think I would want to play it for an extended period of time. Nevertheless, I'm sure it is excellent. Shame there is no place I can play it. :lol:

                            I'm sure if you're part of the crowd that enjoys playing Halo 2 online for hours on end, you'll love Gears of War because it's that same experience......with chainsaws.

                              It's not the same. Far from it.

                              Bought the game on Wednesday, beaten it on casual, tried beating the last boss on "Insane" (Ha!) and got to try 4 player at a LAN party (limit of two per console). The game is the most balanced 360 game to date IMO, and very well done. Barely anything is new here, but what they do have is nearly perfect. If these are indeed the best graphics the 360 can pump out, that's fine by all means with me. Playing "Canals" on multiplayer is proof of this. It's like it's prerendered, in real time. 4/5 of the game's lighting looks perfect, the other 1/5 falls into the "average, noticeable" section, and feels a little out of place with the rest of the game.

                              The strategy system relies on cover way more than any Halo game ever will, and allows you to take three different approaches with your weapon. Cover and blind shot, cover and aim, or take the enemy out head on (usually with a melee attack of sorts). Cover and aim is the most effective, and most used, and you can quickly fall back from this mode by releasing the aim button (L trigger). Haven't been able to play online yet, silver mode for me. Cinematography is the best I've ever seen in any video game to date, and it helps so much with the graphics. Imagine a really good action film, being perfectly converted into a video game. That's Gears of War for you. No matter how good they are, screenshots don't give the game's motion blur or mapping techniques any justice. You need to see this game played to really "get it" with the graphics, but it just looks great.

                                No. No, I'm not part of that crowd.

                                Er... Is this game being released for the PC? If it were then maybe I would get a chance to play it.

                                  No, this game isn't going to be on the PC. As far as I know, it is an XBox 360 exclusive.

                                    B*tches & gentlemen, Nemphtis has been played this game for five days straight and he's happy to boast that he is pwning the complete sh*t out of anyone that comes in the way of him or his clan. Yeah, this has become the primary clan game for EDGE UK now so we are practising on it three times a week for about three to six hours at a time. A lot of you have the wrong idea about a few things, especially the idiot who said this game is balanced. I'll start with the positive parts of Gears of War first; the graphics are truly next generation, the gore is so explosive that you will say "Holy sh*t!" after killing an opponent and the excellent balance of tactical shooting with bloody close-range deathmatch is a great combination not seen in many games. This is like Rainbow Six: Vegas merged with Unreal Tournament basically.

                                    There are bad points regarding this game too, though. The weapons are extremely inconsistent and un-balanced. For example there are many players online (like myself) who are laughing at how easily we can kill people with the pistol which is only supposed to be a last resort weapon. Why is the pistol so easy? Firstly, the pistol can get headshots, the rifles can't do this. Secondly, the pistol can take you down in two melee attacks, which might sound normal but it's extremely unfair compared to the fact that weapons like the shotgun take more hits. Also like I said the weapons are very inconsistent, there will be many times where you are next to an enemy who hasn't seen you and you aim the shotgun at their face at point blank yet they don't die, or the random chance of the Longshot sniper because it's just luck if you down an enemy after a shot. There is also a bug on the Live mode where people who have joined your server after it has launched won't be able to talk, but many of the balance the mic issues I've mentioned are apparently being fixed with a patch soon so fingers crossed.

                                    What is Nemph's score for this game after completing it on Casual, Hardcore and half-way through Insane. Plus spending five straight days on the online multiplayer? Well, the maps are all very nice and ballanced, the selection of weapons is varied enough to have something for every gamer and the fact that your friend can just jump into a co-op game with you is something Bungie should take notes on. All in all, putting aside the issues I've raised this is still a great 360 shooter and deserves an 8.8/10 from me.

                                      Nemphtis you moron. Read my post next time, skimming doesn't count if you're going to attempt to make an actual reply.

                                      The game is the most balanced 360 game to date IMO, and very well done.


                                      Most of the 360 games out there are horribly done in one aspect or another. Whether it's CoD2's glitches galore, GRAW's huge gap between single player and multiplayer, Saint's Row's incomplete game, or Perfect Dark Zero's horrid gameplay. PGR3 plays wonderfully until the point where you might actually scratch the car (*gasp*), Oblivion got its ass handed to it by the PC counterpart, Chromehounds and Double Agent were disappointments compared to what they should have been, and Battle for Middle Earth was just cumbersome. Even Dead Rising was slow and redundant in far too many places.

                                      Gears of War isn't perfect, but it seems to me to be a lot better than anything else out there for the 360 right now. I've never run into the pistol being used as you've mentioned before, but considering the effort you've put into training, I'm not surprised you know about it before I do. Even so, of all aspects of the game, gameplay, sound, music, graphics, framerate, controls, multiplayer, singleplayer and co-op, one weapon being offset from the rest in multiplayer isn't such a huge deal compared to the letdowns of all the other 360 games so far. Wasn't Gears designed around co-op anyways?

                                        I assume you have Xbox Live? Would you like the honour of being completely raped by Nemphtis? It's been a long time since I've pwned a GSSF noob, Nick's being a coward so maybe you can take his place as my XBL b*tch.

                                          Come Christmas, sure. But I'm currently down for the count, and Silver's worse than ever now that they have these "Gold only" restrictions on downloadable content. See the Online Contact Information Topic for more information.

                                          EDIT: You may be thoroughly disappointed though. I'm often horrible at online games, simply because I'm not competitive enough. We shall see though.

                                            Don't you have any trial subscriptions? I'm pretty sure you get one when you buy Gears of War, in fact. Don't worry, I'm competitive enough for the both of us. I'll be teabagging your corpse and everything.

                                              Two 48 hour trials. I'm saving them for "emergencies" :mellow:

                                              Maybe if a 3 day weekend with no homework rolls around, but I won't use them for just anything.

                                                It's not anything, it's me raping you. You should be proud of this chance.

                                                  Alright, I'll add here that Gears is now on PC, but that's common knowledge by now, so REVIVE.

                                                  I got it naturally. +6 chapters to the game is a MAJOR win. Especially that Brumak.

                                                    Everybody's crazy about GoW. I'd get it but many of the games I've purchased recently are already shooter games. It'd be way too boring to just go ahead and get more.

                                                      I got it on my ecksbawks already. Even with the extra chapters, I don't feel like buying a game I already have.

I think I speak for everybody when I say that chainsaws are quite pissibly the best thing ever created.

                                                                                Quote

                                                                                I thought the chainsaw weapon was cool, but it's almost a set back in the higher difficulties when you're running at a locust with the intent on shredding him in half and you get hit, lowering it, and leaving you standing lext to the locust only too eager to bash your skull in.


                                                                                Thats because you're an idiot. You cant expect to run in, chainsaw revved hoping to kill everything. You use the chainsaw in close quarters, not in a fire fight. If there's several locast in an open area, just use the lancer to take them out. If it's like in the first act, and you have to take out gun turret encampments, sneak around the side and chainsaw them in the back. Never use the chainsaw in firefights because you will get owned. As soon as you get shot, you lower it, and chances are you'll get your face bashed in.

                                                                                                              Anyways, Gears of War 2 is amazing. Definitely my favorite game on the 360 along with Tales of Vesperia. I'm not a big fan of the knockdown effect of smoke grenades, but other than that, I love everything about it.

I was pretty sure smoke grenades were supposed to be used for tactical purposes, not to knock someone down so you can mindlessly rush right in for a chainsaw/shotgun kill, lol.

I hated driving the Junker in Gears 1, so I was kinda apprehensive when I had to do similar things again...but I actually loved them in Gears 2.

                                                                                                                                                                    Hold right trigger with right foot, use left heel to move left stick and left toes for the right stick and face buttons.

                                                                                                                                                                    That's just asking for a cramp.
