Gears of War 2!!!

I don't get why Gears of War 2 wasn't 2008 Game of the Year. Fable II and GTAIV are fun and awesome I admit but Gears 2 made everything feel epic.

Hey, wondering if anyone else is experiencing this..

I know that when a map first loads.. that it should only take a few moments for the textures to go from flat shaded to fully loaded..
but it seems for me it takes around 10seconds or maybe more.. I honestly didnt notice this happening before.. so I'm wondering if its my 360 at fault 😬 .. its kinda irksome from a visual standpoint

That happens to me sometimes. It may be a matter of having a poor connection with the server? Dunno.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet but has anyone else noticed that the plot of Gears 2 is remarkably similar to that of Halo 2? I was playing coop with one of my friends about a week ago and he noticed that the plot of both games are very alike.

For instance, the COG and master chief both go to the aliens home planet (or in gears' case underground)
In both games a disease breaks out; the flood in halo and lambent in gears. Also note that the lambent look extremely similar to the flood in shape, size, color and even tentacles
Both games have a sort of civil war going on; covenant vs covenant in halo and locust vs lambent in gears
both games have the enemy 'leader' narrating as you make way through the covenant/locust city

I don't, its obviously not entirely the same but just sorta weird

its a pretty popular strategy to go to the enemy stronghold when you have weakened them..

the lambent do not have tentacles.. only the sires.. lambent, I'm fairly certain, are strengthened by prolonged exposure to immulsion (at least thats the impression I get.. unless some unknown source is causing this)

and yeah, I didnt care for the narration crap.. I honestly dont like how in both games, the enemy suddenly speaks fluent english

So what kind of torture do you think the Locust practice?... I doubt

Spoiler:
some piercings and a few face punches would drain someone like Tai of all their spirit

because gears of war 2 sucks especially compared to the first one. better story but the gameplay sucks.

What Locust spoke perfect english other then the Queen? And I don't think it would be so odd as things seem to point out that the "humans" of Gears and locust were the same species a long time ago.

Everytime I battle them I hear "Moving" "attack" "grenade" "hominid" "human" "Ground walker"

honestly, against an unknown species.. the last thing I want to hear is a dead giveaway of either their attack plan, or their confirmation of my actions.. its annoying.. thats why I enjoyed doom 3's enemies.. they spoke some kind of wierd gibberish to eachother and it really helped out the creepy atmosphere.. even in q4

Saw the new trailer for Quantum Theory; http://www.gametrailers.com/video/action-gameplay-quantum-theory/60887

Anyone else think they "borrowed" a few pointers from Gears?

That and I swear I've heard them say: "Suck my fly.".

using the sword girl as a weapon looks funny though

wow, is the imagination really running that thin across the pond? Jesus-copyright-infringement-christ - what must EPIC be thinking right now?

Notice how some of the jumping animations are identical to Gears. Not similar, identical.
