  • Fucking awesome.

  • Wheres the original audio they got the clip for from the poem?

  • thank you for repeating exactly what was in the video, 3olahhalo3, I couldn't understand what it was saying. /sarcasm

  • yay gorgon pistol!!!

  • because its just a trailer dumbass

  • how come ive beat the game and ive never seen this?

  • It's a game trailer (teaser), made just to give people a taste of the gameplay.

  • I have a rendezvous with death

    at some disputed barricade.

    It may be he should take my hand, and lead me into his dark land, and close my eyes and quench my breath.

    I have a rendezvous with death, and i to my pledgid word am true, i shall not fail that rendezvous...

  • this is my favorite trailer of all time and this game is so awesome cain't wait for number 3

  • energetic fun smart and loves this video

    wanting new friends Y1

  • why the hell does he have a bandannor? ? does he think hes ranbow.fuck i hate it when they overexagerate characters size, they should look like normal people and were a fucking helmet fuck i hate that . . .

  • omfg u idiot they probably take steriods and they dont live on earth. they live on Sera

  • they arn't actually that size...there armour probably makes them look much bigger..and it explains in the story why some people don't wear helmets...we see this happen when A carmine gets shot in the first gears.

    x A Carmine x

  • No the epic engine just worxs that way because if u play unreal tournament the guys are just like the ones in gears of war...BIG AND BULKY

    R.I.P..... B carmine :(

  • What the hell is a ranbow? do you mean Rambo? Also keep in mind that the gears are all the toughest guys left on the planet and they are wearing a bunch of armor which is why they look huge.

  • I understand the helemt argue though, I think they explain it as better view of snipers, which does make some sense. I think it is just so you can understand who is who when playing, since it is just a game.

  • WTF how dare you disgrace marcus fenix when you cant even spell CORRECTLY

  • learn grammar dipshit

  • It's Rendezvous not Rundagu, French word meaning predetermined meeting for something

  • you need to learn how to spell...

  • haha your all wrong none of them die part from carmine he gets eaten alive mwahahahaaa

  • cant wait for this game

  • If Cole dies, i swear i will but a granade up in a locust ass, AND WATCH THE MOTHER FUCKER BURN!.

  • uhmm...i think nobody dies in this game that couldn't be fair, but i've read that baird does. he shall not die, no 1 on delta squad shall die, but a fact is that baird and cole are not part of delta squad anymore they were assigned to another squad and 5 new characters were added to the game. tai kaliso for cole, dizzy for baird, benjamin carmine (yes, carmine again, but this is his brother) and maria santiago

    (dom's missing wife) and the chairman prescott (leader of the cog).

  • dizzy, tai, and maria die i hoped that spoiled gears for you

  • god damn it shut up and stop spoling it i wished the black guy died :( oh and dont reply im afriad ur gonna say he will cause like i havent finish reading ur comment

  • finally a real horde

  • "ihave a rendevous with death,

    at some disputed barricade,

    it maybe you should take my hand and lead me into his dark land,

    and close my eyes. And quench my breath. Ihave a rendevous with death.

    And i to my pleged word am true,

    i shall not fail that rendevous" so get your gravestones ready locust!

  • this better be a level

  • I hope so, I don't want another fake trailer like the believe from Halo 3, I was very dissapointed

  • Cliffy B. has said "don't be surprised if the end hints towards Gears 3". Has anyone else heard that Baird get his ass handed to him?

  • I'm not saying that I'd be happy, but I've heard that he dies horribly.

  • Baird can suck a cock for all i care

  • oh wow, your real tough

  • MAH I HATE A FICTIONAL CHARACTER

  • I heard Dom Dies... not baired..

  • I WILL NOT FAIL THAT RENDEZVOU!!!

  • ...fear

  • haha never mind xD

  • This game looks bad ass man 100 times beter than the first one!

  • does dom really die???

  • May...be.

  • Dude nobody better die!!!!!! ima get mad!!!! >:(

  • All great heroes die at one time or another, but I do hope it is not this great hero's time.

    Besides, I don't think this game's story could be compressed into only two games(ie: GOW3?)

  • somebody does, but nobody knows who.

  • DAmn i NEEEED this game, cole looks even more jack ass, marcus looks more bad ass and you can do more of wat i love. CHAINSAW LOCUST ONTO A ONE WAY TRAIN TO HELL!!

  • Yeah, suck it you Locust bitches!

  • lol what does Rendezvous mean?

  • It's French. It means to 'Meet up' or 'Get together'.

  • What, are you an idiot or something?

  • i finally know what rendezvous means!!

    Gears 2 Game Of The Century

  • Is that monologue original? Or was it taken from somewhere?

  • by alan seeger, american poet who died fighting for the french foreign legion in world war I. he joined the french foreign legion just to fight because the americans didn't officially enter until the very end (as opposed to world war II, when they entered half way through... punctual fellows). it's a great poem and it works really well in the context, although i'm not sure how seeger would feel about it being used to promote a video game!

  • Ahh, thank you very much!

  • As the Legionaire says in Sven Hassels novels "Come death come" Must be a legion thing. Fits well to this. I like it allot.

  • i think dom will die :'(

  • LOL that locust is scared shitless.

  • dreamseller88 thats an good theory but i dont think maria is the queen but i think she be taken by the queen and held hostage by them inorder to break fenix and his squad

  • Man I love this video every time I see it it just makes me want to kill so awesome kill kill kill kill kill

  • has anyone noticed that dom's wifes name is maria... and that maria is a really similar sounding name to myrrah (the suspected locust queen)???

  • where the fuck did you hear the locust queens name ive only heard her "it" referred to as the queen. even so i think if that is true she will play a large role in the plot of the game

  • I was ust thinking about that... what if they find her leading them then dom goes insane and shoots himself or something!

  • i think he will die trying to kill her i reckon that will be a part of the story... i could be wrong but that is what i think

  • What's the song used in this trailer, and no I don't mean Trans Am's Diabolical Cracker used in the background. I'm talking about the old guy saying the poem "I have a rendezvous with death" by Alan Seeger, can anyone tell me the name and if that's actually a song.

  • doms wife is the mutated/hybrid leader of the locust, and dom dies trying to kill her with his last grenade using the new shield for cover his galant rush.

  • Icpicpicp, they announced it on the website that it is Benjamin, not Anthony. Anthony is dead.

  • Woah.... Awesome.

    Can u take Locust hostage in GOW 2? That would be awesome

  • yes, yes you can take locust hostage both in campaign and in online

  • thanks, cant wait for this

  • o that would really piss some people off in multilayer get ready for a new world of trash talk

  • ahhhh if you watch the credits at the end of GoW it mentions a myrrah and seeing as myrrah isnt actually seen a lot of people just assumed she was the voice... its just strange that the names are so similar and that myrrah can speak such good english whereas all the other locusts can only manage to growl out some words in english... maybe i am just reading into things too much

  • Hah! I just noticed. at 0:43 - 0:44... That's Baird and Cole that it zooms in on. Sorry if I am the last person on the planet to pick up on that... I just think it's cool

    (I know that was Dom near the beginning)

  • gears 2 looks amazing cant w8 for it dizzy goin to be mi online char if eny1 fancies a game wiv me when it comes out (gt see above) and this ad make me wont to play it even more

  • cogs suck sorry ppl locust are better.

  • i feel kind of sorry for the guy who got used as a meat shield. he got a bit mauled by the huge guy with the machine gun

  • YA! baird cole and carmine kickin ass

  • carmine is only going to be in multiplayer for gears 2....not in the story. like the other guy, only his brother benjamin with will be in the story along with tai and dizzy and the rest of them.

  • naw Anthony Carmine is in Campaign.

  • They said its his brother Benjamin, Carmine died in Gear 1.

  • They brought him back. If you watch the campaign video. at one point Carmine(Anthony)

    Says "Oh Here we go". If you watch the whole video its Anthony because Benjamin has a way Different mask. And Anthony is the only one standing next to Marcus. =P

  • omg this game looks so bad killzone 2 looks so much better.

    sarcasm of course

  • you scared me for a sec there haha

  • Yes,some people can survive a shot to the head, but it is a very slim chance, and most likely carmine would have brain damage, and it was confirmed that carmines brother, BENJAMIN will be in Gears 2

  • No...

    His head blow the fuck off...lol

  • Anthony Carmine (Original Carmine) is NOT coming back...Hes Dead.Like How can he come back,but his brother Benjamin is taking his place.

  • serious!?

  • sweeet i cant wait it looks amazing this is going to be the best game ever!!!!!!!

  • yo it not going to be the original Carmine or Anthony Carmine, it's his brother Benjamin who will be in the new gears of war

  • gears of war 2 cliffy b interview (new 5/14/08)

  • also look at the video called

    Gears of War2 Cliffy B intevew

    he says carmine is back and they just don't want to explain how yet.

  • wikapedia is an unreliable source because everyone can go in and change it

  • Common misconception. Some articles are protected. Vandalism gets cleared up in seconds, literally.

  • i hope this game tells the story better

  • This game's gonna own...I reserved it, can't wait till it comes out.

  • just noticed at 44 you see Baird,Cole and Carmine well a dude in a suit like Carmine.

    Also carmine is real some how they brought him back. for those saying cloning was resonsible think if they were capable of cloning they wouldn't be so short on troops.

  • Carmine is not back for Gears of war 2 but his twin brother is taking his place.

  • carmine does not have a brother. where o were did you SEE this i have not seen anything saying he has a brother but ive talked to a lead designer on a gears forum and he and two others have said carmine is ALIVE. they thought about bringing a new character but they decided to just bring one back

  • This everywhere just type Gears of War 2 on google and look on wikipedia for a character list.

  • how do you survive a full blown longshot shot to the head may i enquire? Carmine is exactly the same as all the other cogs accept he wears a helmet that the only reason people like him

  • sorry dude it is carmines brother benjamin carmine type his name into google and find out or wiki him if you rli want to.

    GEARS 2 IS GOING TO BE EPIC

    (plz dont let dom die)

  • he dosent i think cole dies

  • man cole can't die.  he's too kickass

  • Just like in southpark, gotta sacrifice the black guy, lol, jk.

  • noooo not cole not cole !

  • @porkbeast3000 its because hes black

  • It's impossible to tell which is Carmine as Carmine is just a rather anynomous private with the full-out basic COG gear, including the helmet which is excluded for the main characters in Gears of War. Much of the rumors on the Internet is plain silly, such as the cloning bogus.

    Anyways - Carmine is a surname so I don't see why it couldn't be his brother, which would make sense. Epic will think of something, they won't just throw him in like nothing have happened.

  • Mmm... Very... "Poetic".

  • note this will be a spoiler

    still reading ok then

    ive heard that the game will start as you trying to protect the cities from the locust sinking them like they do smaller patches of ground when they make an emergence hole. from some of the videos you can probably tell there defense didn't work thats about all i know on the storyline but its still not for sure they might have been just feeding me bullshit.

    also the defense against the giant emergence holes were these big ass mobile supports.

  • when gona be launched to the market??

  • nov 15th.

  • nov 7th

  • November 7th I think.

  • using a dead locust as a shield is such an original idea. Cant wait for this game <33

  • I don't think he's dead. I love that, "OH, SHIT," look on his face right before Marcus puts the choke hold on him! It also looks like he is screaming like a little girl as Marcus runs down the stairs. If that scene is actually playable in the game, that is easily worth the $60!

  • I hope that they leave some of the story to the imagination and don't give away everything... Hopefully the gameplay has evolved the game into something better...

  • I can't wait for GOW2, the hype is almost too much...

  • With all rights - Epic once again prooved their professionalism with the first Gears of War game - and the second builds on upon everything in every single aspect. If it won't be great it'll atleast be perfect.

  • i just realised, how they fight on gears during cutscenes is kinda how i realy fight in paintballin and on gears. WTF?!?!?

  • awesome =)

  • holy shit. <33

  • Is this "poem" original? Or is it from something previously?  Because to me it sounds like Edgar Allen Poe.

  • poem from world war I

    not sure who wrote it though

  • The poem was written by Alan Seeger. He fought in World War I. The version in this trailer takes different lines from the poem and puts it together rather than use the whole thing. It's still pretty good.

  • what is the name of the poem

  • the first line is the name.

  • i love how the poem is so dark i really reminds me of marcus and goers 2 is coming out on novermber 7th

  • does anyone know wen this game is comin out?

  • novermber 7th

  • awesome thnx

  • hey ..... fuck of

  • it supposed to be the locus talking right? Not marcus?

  • it's neither of them. It's just a kind of poem to showcase the trailer.

  • The poem and the video mixed together....sick

  • wow. great trailer. i love how all of the trailers for Gears always have slow background music that give it that kinda dark/sad feeling. Cant wait for this game.

  • Sad that the poet died in WW1. I think that this poem really makes the atmosphere of this trailer, with the crackling of the sound and the deep voice. The poet is Alan Seeger. It was JFK favourite poem, ironic almost considering the content "I Have a rendezvous with Death...And I to my pledged word am true,

    I shall not fail that rendezvous".

  • This is a amazing trailer i cannot wait for gears of war 2.:)

  • badass trailer, can someone buy me the game when it comes out?

  • You should be ashamed to even dare to ask such a thing.

  • wow dude relax!! its call a joke amigo

  • do u r a moron and ur gonna die an unfulling lonely death, so good luck with that

  • :44 you see baird and cole

  • lol really? :P no offence tho tht gime the best laugh i had all day :D

  • ha i didnt like study it or anything i just noticed. but yeah i realize how nerdy that sounds

  • alan seeger is better than shakespear and poe combined

  • no way in hell is he better than shakespeare if you goin on the assumption that all his stuff is light and not dark compared to alan seeger, raven is excellent poem but dont forget William Blake. He defiantly a really good poet. But its made but William Morgan Sheppard doing the reading. Poem was cut down to be shortened for the trailer.

  • is it just me or is the gun at 48 seconds a brute spiker, or basically an exact copy

  • No, its even better then a brute spiker. Its a gears of war spiker thats gonna punt halo 3 off the shelves.

  • "No, its even better then a brute spiker. Its a gears of war spiker"-Icriticizeyou

    haha, well said.. man thats hilarious.

  • it may just be a gears of war spiker, still, undoubtedly complete rip off

  • It's just you.

  • whys a gaylo like u wathing a gears trailer

  • gaylo? I watched it because i liked gears of war, and i wanted to see what number 2 would be like, but i was disappointed to see that their design for a gun is almost identical to one on halo 3, that's all

  • gears is better than Halo anyway so what does it matter?

  • true but still im srry

  • sorry i dint understand what u ment

  • this is so bad ass...good poem too, classic american poem

  • do you know who the poet is i really want to knwow

  • the poem is called "I Have a Rendezvous with Death", by Alan Seeger. It was made I think in 1919. Not sure who the speaker is, might be the same guy that did Marcus Fenix, but he only reads a few lines of the poem not the whole thing.

  • thanks so much (y)

  • I know it's dope! I love this poem

  • If u look reeeaaalllyyy close at :41 u can see baird taking cover behind that pod

  • November 7 see you on xbox live

  • Btw im sure i have heared this poem before or am i mistaken

  • looks like fun when does it come out

  • november 7 i think

  • HO-LEE JESUS.

  • I wonder if the fenix dies. i heard Dom is supposed too. idk. all i know is, is GoW 2 is gonna be a badass game.

  • how do you play the Co-op campaign on the same 360 if dom dies?

    i hope he doesnt

  • I have a ps3 and went to play the first one to my friends house and it was awesome almost as good as MGS4(as good really) its just my opinion so don't flame me both games are the bomb

  • im not gonna flame you because i heard that MGS4 was amazing. but i am a 360 owner and its my belief that gears of war 2 is going to trump every game ever.

  • it looks awesome I agree and I appreciate a mature commenter for a change

  • Keep It Clean Fellas :)

  • MARCUS MOTHERFUCKING FENIX!!

  • lol i wish theyd hesitate or something when u hold one hostage. lol it was hilarious when he was charging towards them, they kept shooting their own rofl.

  • I'd like it if you can get out of that hold or something.
