I really don't know where to start when I get the game. It's a flip between campaign or horde.

Yeah, I was going to go right into campaign but some GAFfers wanted to hit up MP for a little while, so after that campaign it is for me. Then Horde tomorrow.

I'm going to hit-up co-op campaign as soon as I put the disc in my 360... unfortunately, I won't be doing that until TRU decides to ship... :/

Ohhh, right right. Thanks for the responses. Midnight seems so far away. I didn't realize there was a limited edition version. I thought there was only the standard edition and collectors edition. Hoping Wal-Mart has the LE, might as well pick that up for the 10 or 20 extra it costs...HORDE mode is all I can say at this point...

I think there's only two versions we're just some calling it LE and some CE. The LE/CE is $69.99 which is the one MTHanded took a pic of.

The regular is $59.99. Both have the 5 flashback maps. The CE/LE has a nicer case, extra dvd, a picture of Dom/Maria, and a code for a golden lancer download on xbl.

There is another version for sale on amazon that comes with a replica lancer but I think it's like $139.99 iirc

God I hope Wal mart hast the LE!

Yes I had thought there was only the 139.99 version and the standard. I didn't know that the code comes with all versions, that's cool. I hope Wal-Mart carries it, has enough, and isn't swarming with fools. Guess I gotta wait and see.

Oh, it was just something he mentioned last night during our matches. It involves not going to his classes tomorrow. :lol

Trust me, I'm leaning that way. So you'll be doing some MP after you're back?
Click to expand...
Definitely, I'll be playing MP for a while I think. I'm really in the mood for it.

Just watched the TXB flashback map vids. The new boss looks so awesome when you play as him in multi. He has that hunchback so you don't see his head, but as soon as he hits cover you see those tentacle braids swinging around and his nasty face. My Raam I used so much in multi may have to share some time for the sequel.

It'll be fu**ed tomorrow for sure but I think tonight if you're on the east coast it should be ok, I guess I'll do some single player while that download goes thru cos the longer you wait the worse it'll be.

This is true, either way I'll set up the download and it'll do it's thing whenever I'm not in an XBL match.

No way! You HAVE to get in a couple matches with us. You're amongst GAFfers so nobody will spoil anything for you.

Eh, I shouldn't worry, I'll convince you while we have our Grand Finale for Gears 1 in a little while.

Now that I think about it, going MP for a while would make the most sense because I'd rather start the Campaign fresh on Friday morning after a good night's sleep. :D

I will be pure shit when we play tonight. I'm just too damn excited.

Edit: Renwood that's way over my head to comprehend right now.

Does anyone have a picture of the DVD case the LE version comes with (as in an actual photo)? I'm deciding between which to get.

The argument was about hypocrisy, remember?

R2 changes things up dramatically. Docked to B+ for being "more of the same".

Gears 2 plays it safe, literally more of the same, praised to high heaven. A+

Do you understand now?

Still, this wasn't necessarily apparent after the first hour of a three-day offsite Gears of War 2 review marathon. It's actually easy to think of the game as something closer to Gears 1.5 at first.

Firefights are won not by charging toward enemies outright but by slamming against cars, buildings, or other objects in a desperate attempt to conceal your body, and then letting rip when the time's right. It's simple -- repetitive to almost an absurd degree -- yet through its second tour of duty, the cover-then-shoot mechanic remains unquestionably addictive.

these held-over missteps seem odd, but they have little impact on Gears 2's impressive level of polish across the board. A nice, thick coat of blood red polish at that.

Well I certainly didn't call that one. Nossir.

Buying it tonight :eek:
