Gears of War 2 Multiplayer = Awesome
Thursday, August 21, 2008
The Official XBOX Magazine staffers got to play test the multiplayer portion of the new Gears of War 2 game recently at Microsoft’s campus in Redmond. There is a two page article about it in the latest magazine (October 2008, pg. 20).
According to the article, GOW 2 Multiplayer is going to be awesome: “It’s so intense that our fingernails actually dug into the controller’s plastic. Sorry about that, Microsoft.”
My favorite mode listed in the article is Horde. In this type of game, you and your buddies start any multiplayer map and have to defend yourself against wave after wave of increasingly difficult (and randomly chosen) foes.
So far, the developers have 50 Waves loaded. During the playtest, OXM was only able to get to Wave 7 at times, while “the best EPIC testers have reportedly reached only Wave 25.”
As I mentioned, this is a two page article, worth checking out if you are excited about Gears of War 2.
By the way, Gears of War 2 is now available to pre-order on Amazon.com. I have a couple of links below. If you haven’t played the original Gears, I suggest you check it out, too. It is amazing.
