Gears 1 was remarkable because of its cover system, its graphics, and its chainsaw bayonet. In a single game Epic has managed to make null the cover system (stopping power makes it oh so fun to go from cover to cover), failed to recapture the atmosphere, and made their signature weapon an annoying joke that people laugh awkwardly at. Bring Gears back, please.
The cover system in gears 1 wasn't the way it was supposed to be used. It was so easy to take cover and run around, because unless it was the shotgun, and not the lancer, you were safe. In Gears 2, with stopping power, it made cover more valuable. People actually have to think about where they take cover. At least the second game promoted more variety in the gameplay other than sniper and shotgun blazing. Each game has its flaws.
You forgot to factor in Gears 2's supreme overarching problem: lag dependence. The lag encourages people to stick to their shotguns and close quarters, making null the cover system. Gears itself encouraged shotgun and sniper duels, not the lag. Therefore Gears 2 is a game at war with itself, lag making null many would-be valuable features.
The PC map is different, not just the looks which is obvious, but also the design. The maps are built a bit differently. Mainly the grenades area and the entrances to it.
cheers for the videos. i had no idea that gold rush was originally from the p.c. cant believe sites like gamespot and ign cant provide people with that info, sure its trivial but its nice to know the history of the maps.
Just Sanctuary. It used to be Sanctuary, Courtyard, and Gold Rush, but those the latter 2 have / are being released for 360 already. I'm sure the Map Pack in April is going to bring that last map, Sanctuary.
Oh courtyard is coming out on Tuesday so will Sanctuary come out on Xbox360 in April tis year, also was there one called Fire Bridge or was that an edited map?
Hey, I know you've probably been asked this already but can you upload Sanctuary please? I've been searching this damn site but it's nowhere. Hopefully Sanctuary will be brought to Gears 2 in it's original form. Knowing EPIC they'll probably stick a sunset on which is a beautifully dark map. Hopefully though, if they do bring it out, they'll keep it dark.
Yes, it recognizes it instantly and changes the buttons on the screen. The controller layout is mapped to work just like gears 1 360, so you just plug in the controller and play, not needing to set the buttons or whatnot.
This is a really fun map, it plays kind of like Jacinto and Clocktower.
GcRayden would it be possible if you could do a video like this for all of the pc original-exclusive maps? Chances are they will eventually all come back into Gears of War 2.
I thought I was the only one who thought that. Gears 1 was kind of darker and almost scarier than Gears 2. Gears 2 kind of sucks and is too bright IMO.
Fuck, I thought I was the only one with that thought. That's the problem I have been having with GoW2, it does NOT look better than GoW 1 visually. GoW 1 had more detail and looked a lot more realistic than GoW 2. GoW 2 has a slight "cartoonish" tone to it. Too much color, and too bright.
You are an idiot. Go get some glasses, because the difference between GoW 1 and 2 graphics are beyond obvious. Graphics of GoW 2 were simplified because a lot more shit was added, such as destructible environments. Maybe you should go buy a HDTV and see the difference. That's the problem with GoW2, you said it yourself, the COLOR. More color does not mean better quality.
Agreed completely. Hopefully they get it right with Gears 3. Or at least add darker maps in upcoming DLC. I'm tired of all the sunny happy maps. I want a really dark map.
Yeah..darker just suits Gears better. Gears 3 better not disappoint and it better get released with no way for people to stand-by or force host and do all that garbage that makes the game a lot less fun for everyone that is trying to have a decent game with it being compromised by some moron that thinks getting a high Win to Loss ration actually matters. Bunch of losers those fuckign stand-by'ers.
with snow obviously... lol jk... yea i can see liking this map but i can also see the weapon spawns being different, if it stays like this.. i'll be happy
