Yeah, well thats what I meant. I didn't feel like right out Blades of Athena because I can't abreviate it (it coincides with Blade of Artimis). But anyway, whatever the blades he's using, they seem to resemble the BoC more than the Athena Blades.

The BoC are now the Blades of Athena that he aquired at the end of GoW.It was stated in an interview with the games director Cory Barlog.

Hopefully they won't.Although they have made on major mistake,setting the bar too high.At least as far as story goes.I mean,you kill a god,not to mention braving through an imppossibly enormous temple strapped to the back of a gigantic moving creature.You will be able to grapple with the blades,as well as using the Icarus wings to hover wich,hopefully,will give the player even more options in battle.You will have to fight Icarus and take the wings,in a battle dangerously close to the sun,witch should be fun.Another clue to a potential boss they stated was the concept art depicting the Gorgon Euryale,Madusa's sister.There was also response similar to "some of that stuff could pop up"when asked about the possible return of Pandora's Temple.There will be many new enemys such as dual-axe wielding imps that fight on their own as well as mounting a cerberus or a cyclops,witch definately will return.

I agree reaver, GameStop employees hardly know anything about the games.
I just reserved mine. The guy at my local GS said they had a ton of reserves already.
Just goes to show you how popular the GoW series is.
