Gears of War 2 – Kartenvergleich Gears 1-Maps in Gears 2 (Flashback Map Pack)

Holla, da wurde ja noch einiges aufpoliert; wenn man bei den anderen Sachen auch so fleißig war, dann habe ich wohl mein Lieblingsspiel für die kalte Zeit, die an steht, gefunden !

Wurden nur Karten aus dem ersten Teil "recycelt", oder wird es auch neue geben?
Und falls ja, wieviele neue?

Soweit ich weiß, liegen diese "recycelten" Karten als Code dem Spiel kostenlos bei.
Es wird jede Menge neuer Karten geben, wieviele genau, weiß ich aber nicht.

Wirlklich klasse, was aus dem "grau in grau" gemacht wurde.





Kotaku Previews zu Gears of War 2
Zum Einzelspielermodus

[…] Gears of War 2 is everything it’s supposed to be – the same loud, visceral war epic with a few new weapons, a few new characters and a whole lot more explosions. The plot has just as many cliffhangers as the first one (though it does wrap up the Maria storyline), and the conflict between Locusts and Humans is less resolved at the end of Gears 2 than it was at the end of Gears 1.

In short, Gears 2 is The Empire Strikes Back. And I, for one, think that’s a good thing.
I started out with the campaign. At first I entertained noob notions that I ought to try the Hardcore difficulty and then wisely went with Casual instead.

Spoiler

We picked up (sort of) where we left off at the end of Gears – only now we were told during the intro cutscene that we hadn’t wiped out the Locusts with the Lightmass bomb and that the only city that hadn’t been sunk was Jacinto.

Zum Mehrspielermodus

[…] Shit hits the fan at about wave 10. More and more of the Horde come from all directions on the map, overwhelming whatever system you’ve managed to set up. We made it all the way to wave 15 by sticking together, but after that, someone decided going every man (or woman) for themselves was a good idea and we all died like dogs.

The game let us repeat the wave where we’d left off, but our spawn position on the map was reset so we started from new random positions instead of the place where we left off at the end of the last wave – and I think our score was reset to zero (I clicked through the menu too fast in my zeal to get back to the fight). I have no idea how anyone is going survive all 50 waves of Horde mode – even after I switched out with a more hardcore shooter journo, the group never made it to wave 20 in the hour we had to play.

Ball-breakingly difficult or not, Horde mode does stand out from your average multiplayer romp because it’s co-op survival instead of just you against the AI. And it was pretty damn fun, even when you were getting your face raped by the sheer number of Locusts coming at you. […]

weiss einer von Euch zufällig, ob das Spiel aus UK importiert auch in deutsch spielbar sein wird?

Zu 99% sicher. Aber warum importierst du nicht einfach aus Österreich?? :o

So etwas ist auch ne Frage des Preises.
Die UK-Version hat man für ~45€ + 1,2€ Versand im Briefkasten.

Das wird Cyberbob aber ärgern...
Aber solange die Versionen online kompatibel sind, ist es ja halb so wild...

Genial!
Es wird schwer werden für nachkommende Spiele, dieses Actionfeuerwerk und eine derartige technische Meisterleistung auf der X-Box zu toppen!

Ich bin mal auf die ersten Wertungen gespannt, aber eines ist sicherlich schon jetzt klar: Gears =

und ign machts nach: score: 9.5

If you haven’t figured it out by now, Gears of War 2 is what’s going to sell Xbox 360s this holiday season. It has non-stop action, fresh gameplay, varied environments, an engrossing storyline, multiplayer that will have people busy for years to come, and some of the nastiest and coolest kills I’ve seen in a videogame. It has its flaws when it comes to the technical side of multiplayer and the last act of the campaign and the voice acting might turn some off. Still, none of that comes close to holding back Gears of War 2 from its destiny: being one of the best games available on the Xbox 360.

9.5 Presentation
The menus are very reminiscent of the original but the story is handed to the player in an entirely new way. Gears 2 stays at a very high quality throughout. New kill cams are very cool.

9.5 Graphics
Fantastic looking characters inhabit splendid worlds that feel truly alive. You’d be hard pressed to find a better looking game anywhere. Now if only they could fix the texture and framerate issues.

9.0 Sound
The sound effects bring you into the action perfectly and Jablonsky delivered on the score in a big way. Voice acting could use some work.

9.5 Gameplay
Some of the purest fun you’ll have. Instant gratification starts at level one and never lets up. It’s familiar for veterans of the first but throws in plenty to legitimize itself.

9.5 Lasting Appeal
Supposing they can fix the few multiplayer issues, there’s nothing stopping Gears 2 from ruling Xbox Live for some time to come. The photo mode is a great addition, too.

9.5
