    Gears of War 2

    Apparently it was accidentally announced in Europe.

    November is the date, and of course, exclusive to 360.

    Now we wait for the GDC announcement.

    edit: It's officially official.

    They announced it at GDC, with a new trailer, and Cliffy B chainsawed his way on stage and announced November 2008.

    edit: The debut trailer.

    Gee, a sequel to an alien giant bug invasion game?

    Body Harvest was the original game of this type, and even included the ever-so-popular GTA-style gameplay.

    ..where's ITS sequel?!

      That's our Nje!

      I guess Midway didn't see the need for a sequel.

        Man I'm psyched and there wasn't even any gameplay in that trailer.

          If they can fix a few things such as speed up the normal running a bit, not have the camera so low to where your character is blocking half the screen while sprinting, and a button to do an actual jump, I might play the series more. I haven't even finished the first game yet.

          After playing Unreal Tournament 3 with the Action Cam mod, that's how Gears should be like.

            You think Fenix can jump?

              Well he can jump, but for some strange reason Fenix and everyone else in the Gears world has an urge to cling onto a small wall before attempting to jump over it. Could just save time and hop over from the start.

              Would be helpful when you're getting shot in the butt.

                I don't think you really understood the game...

                    GoW is all about finding cover and using it to your advantage. Also, I believe the developer said they took out jumping because it can easily take you out of the game if everyone is jumping around like jack rabbits.

                      Well they don't need to make it so everyone jumps 10 feet high, I'm just saying it's annoying to not being able to hop over an object first.

                      A normal crouch button works just fine in other games and you can still find cover while having an option of jumping over small obstacles.

                        Everyone would hop nonstop, believe it.

                          Not a problem if you can aim at them.

                            I like that chainsaw encounter in the trailer, hopefully that is what happens when two chainsaws meet up at the same time online. That was an annoying part of the first one, where if two chainsaws are coming at each other, it would randomly choose a winner.

                              The reason jumping would take away from gameplay is exactly as Mora said, or proof go play a game of CounterStrike.
