quote AuctoriaThe Gameinformer article has a lot more information than that including info on the new grenades (poison), weapons (the Gorgon Burst) and enemies (Cantus Locust).Have you guies seen the article from Gamegrep informing us of stuff we might have missed?quoteThe Locust now have the ability to sink entire cities with giant emergence holes.
To defend against the Locust onslaught, the COG transport vehicles called Derricks bring tunnel machines called Grind Lifts to Locust occupied areas. Underground combat ensues.
Campaign level act one, chapter three is named "Assault".
Reavers are back for GoW2 and they are trouble.
Both the cover system and active reload look to stay true to their Gears roots.
Overall combat is much more open and expansive, it truly looks like you're in the middle of a war.
Brumaks are back and yes, you will be gunning them down. Take that Gears of War PC!
The ability to generate hundreds of Locusts on screen looks (as we expected) to be used to set the mood of the battle and make it more frantic. Think of these hundreds of Locusts as interactive decoration.
We're introduced to a new Lancer style weapon that shoots ammo in bursts.
We're also introduced to a new pistol weapon that sort of looks like Halo 3's Brute Spiker.
When a Locust falls to his knees you'll be able to use him as hostage cover.
Locust neck snapping is now an option.
They've added a new chainsaw animation that was seen in the teaser trailer. Basically, the chainsaw is flipped over, stuck into a Locust's back and is forced up vertically through the torso. Bloody disgusting.
Chainsaw duels are real! The chainsaw victor is the one who can press "B" the fastest in the mini game.
Assault Derricks pack a lot of firepower and do a pretty good job at running over Brumaks.
Gears of War 2 is going to be incredible!
Who approves this ****?

Whoa, did I miss Marcus beating the crap out of that locust in the original trailer? 'Cuz I think that answers if there's going to be a "curb-stomp" thing in Gears 2.

I never seen that part of the gameplay.
Looks epic, definitely makes Gears 2 a notch up to the violence that it is. Thanks ironmike.

Hell yeah, Seth.
Its probably going to be used more often than the curbstomp, but it seems to take up a lot of time as displayed. Easy target if you ask me. :/

True, but it depends. It's not exactly an easy target for a sniper looking to score a headshot, but for anyone else it's as easy as killing a guy who just finished chainsawing someone else. That execution I think should be left for the person who gets the final kill.

You aren't invincible when you chainsaw right now. Atleast, not all of the time. You can shoot a guy while he chainsaws and he'll take damage, but yeah, headshots are just about impossible. Which is lame because I could have sworn you used to be able to pop domes during the animation.
But as you said, great idea. I just get the feel that Gears battles will be a whole lot more intense. Can't wait.
