This footage came from the UNREAL TOURNAMENT 3 disc and was originally
posted on
GameTrailers. We caught this footage last night and found it to be
incredible. We scattered all over youtube to see if any users posted it up.
We've found it, and we're presenting it to you today. We're really big fans of
GEARS OF WAR and we have high hopes for the sequel. From the looks of the
video, it's going to be bigger, better, gorier and more bad ass! Check out the
new multiplayer footage below when you get the chance. The guns and
chainsaws are back, only this time Marcus has a few new tricks up his sleeve.
GEARS 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed best-seller game, which was
announced during the 2008 Game Developers Conference on February 20th.

The game is scheduled for release in November and will use a heavily
upgraded version of the Unreal Engine 3. For all you collectors out there,
GEARS 2 will also have a Limited Collectors Edition of the game which will
include a poster, concept art, 5 graphic novels explaining the time period
between the first Gears of War and this game, the making of DVD, and
stainless steel dog tags. GEARS OF WAR 2 takes place six months after the
detonation of the Lightmass Bomb at the end of the first game. Though most
of the Locust Horde was destroyed, the explosion also caused much of the
liquid Imulsion underground to vaporize, causing a fatal disease called "Rust
Lung" to spread among the diminshed human population.

While the humans dealt with their casualties, the surviving Locust found a
way to build huge sinkholes under the remaining human strongholds. The once
impenetrable Jacinto Plateau, one of the last remaining refuges for humans, is
showing signs that the same fate awaits it. In order to stop the fall of
Jacinto, Marcus Fenix, Dominic Santiago, and a new Delta Squad spearhead
counterattack against the Locust. GEARS OF WAR 2 is developed by Epic
Games for Microsoft Game Studios. You can pre-order the regular GEARS OF
WAR 2 game or the limited collector's edition over at
Amazon.
