And then on Wednesday is our long-awaited (at least, internally) Gears of War 2 multiplayer coverage, which includes the first MP gameplay footage. And, hopefully, some details on the evolution of sticky grenades there.
I only figured I'd post this here because there seems to be a couple Gears fans finally poking their heads out on GT.

Also, you guys had best damn believe that I have a podcast topic next week! :D

Awesome! I was semi-decent on Gears, so I'll definitely be watching this.

This is all a giant hoax, do not buy into it!

The only way that I'll play Gears 2 online is if host advantage is gone. And that's unlikely - XBL is P2P.

Lucky you, host advantage is out. Gears 2 MP will be nowhere near the same as Gears 1.

edit: here's where he mentions some of it.

well its still p2p, and theres still going to be issues with that. always is. people just dont have enough upload bandwidth on a home connection to do it perfectly.

im almost wondering if they're just going to add a slight artifical lag to the host to put it on even grounds with everyone else.


But what they need to do is let people host thier own servers on the computer that the console can connect to. then you'll get more people. bigger worlds, less lag, etc.

but see how it goes. hopefully it all got fixed and is working better.

At this point, it's looking, in every way, leagues above Resistance 2. Amazing footage. I'm actually really hyped for this game now. I guess it was getting back into the swing with my 1v1s with Team Pile. :)

Cliff Blezinski is still a tool, though.

Don't tell me they'd be using that in multiplayer? That leaves you SO open for attacks but it does look cool. :lolz:

Re: Gears of War 2 First Multiplayer Video next Wednesday.. Yes Bond, Multiplayer! ;)
 
Yessir it is in MP, Cliff said that they wanted you to have the choice for your kill. Either take the risk of doing that or just kill him off another way. But that execution is the longest animation of all of them I believe too so they're all not that lengthy.

Dyne 06-27-2008 03:50 PM

Re: Gears of War 2 First Multiplayer Video next Wednesday.. Yes Bond, Multiplayer! ;)
 
Actually, what the fuck am I saying - knife kills are about that long in Turok. :lolz:

But then again you can do knife kills with any amount of life, and not just when they're down. Teammates are probably going to be attracted to fallen comrades so that's what makes it dangerous.

This is Gears we're talking about, teammates never help other teammates. :lolz:

Yeah, I meant more in the way of "someone's probably going to go sniper-bash that guy - I should focus on him for a while so I can get an easy kill." :D

This game needs a wider color palette.

This actually sounds cool...

Quote:

Wingman is another new take on multiplayer. Consisting of five teams of two, you have to balance the aggressiveness of going after the other teams, while protecting your partner. If you go down, he can revive you. If he dies, you're on your own and you've let your man down. It's a brilliantly inspired tactical bout. Five teams jostling on a medium-sized map keeps the battles interesting and continual, and the nature of the match-up forces you to work as a team and co-ordinate a measured combination of concerted attack, while trying to watch your partner's back. Simple aggression will certainly result in at least one teammate's casualty. Then you're stuffed.

Anyone knows if 2 persons will be able to play online from the same console? A la Mario Kart?

It was possible in Gears 1 - I don't see why it wouldn't be in Gears 2.

The official BLOG is named "have you met ted."

http://have-you-met-ted.com/

It's not like it has to be perfect. :lolz: Plus, who's to say your wingman is your friend?

That was always a pain in the ass.

But I believe you had to go into the Xbox Live and start a player or ranked session but before you confirmed. Hit the X button on second controller to sign in as a guest or another account.

It was a pain that took ppl a while.
