Gears of War 2 HD "Rendezvous with death" trailer

[carapiap]

Holy shit, that trailler shaked me to the bone

[TheS1L3NCE117]

I wonder what's going through that locust's mind...

[halomaster0318]

why are boomers so damn dumb

[ALLIED7621]

@halomaster0318 good question

[EnigmaInDisguise]

This is so damn epic.

[Joeisreason]

dat video quality

[lnsordo91]

amazing voice

[0shizznes0]

best trailer ever !!!!!!!!!!!

[callumt836]

Only Marcus could charge a grinder without being torn to shreds

[solanut]

this was originally a poem by Alan Seeger a world war 1 veteran

[Forveez]

I still get chills every time I watch this, and it's like 3 years old

[hatheyrealldead]

@Forveez time cannot affect the impact of epicness

[lax8196]

best game trailer ever... gears 3 will kick this games ass in but at least gears 2 had a sick trailer

[weirdoh1999]

@lax8196 To do my best to not blow this game too much, they really did a kick ass job for the trailers for each Gears game. The first one with Mad World is pretty much etched into my thick skull, hell they all are. Can't wait for tomorrow!

[dagoned]

Man oh man, the voice, The Poem, the scenery, the drums, the cinematography. This is just too damn good.

[HeAdShOtZzZ123]

im still watching this in 2011

[Adversary319]

Gah! Still gives me chills, loved this trailer!

[t1twank]

chuck norris made this trailer

[TheVideoGamePad]

Gears of War have the most badass trailers in gaming

[LukeBramaz]

Microsoft marketing > Sony marketing

[Mumatron]

Cool, when does this come out?

[iBringHurTz]

@Mumatron wow...

[macrul3z]

@Mumatron

3 years ago.

[UBNsoldier]

hey whats the name of the song in the background?

[fourthspartan56]

Best trailer yet :D

[TheBoi1dah]

that guitar in the background killed it

[TheTrueMetal9]

@TheBoi1dah lol what?

[Ikickbabiesdaily]

@TheBoi1dah There was no guitar.

[Dune1884]

@TheBoi1dah Where ? I didn't see any guitars ?!

[fuckuyawanker]

dude they need to get morgan freeman to remake this that would be awesome he makes everything sound so philosophical :P

[jagovRUS]

@fuckuyawanker This guy is plenty awesome as-is. No need for a remake.

[Gowlover4578]

Lovely it's awesome

[whyhowdythereson]

yup Marcus NEVER fails

[Shadofax5]

How is dom going to get down there without a meatshield?

[tellez420]

@Shadofax5 Marcus probably would kick all their asses by the time Dom pulled himself together.

[KWESTproductions1]

if someone ever told me that a poem from a ww1 soldier would be used in a video game trailer successfully I would call bs...then I saw this

[elloyou007]

@KWESTproductions1 have u ever read poetry. poetry is not all fruity. most great poets wrote dark stuff. in addition, the guy who wrote this poem died in ww1 as he charged in to battle and a barrage of bullets hit him just like marcus fenix was charging to battle in the end of the video, so the trailer really is linked to the poem just with gears of war characters in it.

[KWESTproductions1]

@elloyou007 I know that but what I meant was that since so many these days aren't keen on that stuff they might not use it in a trailer for a game

[kerbal666]

I was just watching Doctor Who and this old man spoke and I said "I know that voice" now I know who did this. Yay!

[WisdomThumbs]

Best Gears of War trailer ever, and (in my opinion) better than any other video game trailer.

It just looks PERFECT. Seeing this on Youtube doesn't do it justice. It was crisp and perfectly lit...

And the pacing, the sound, the purposefully scratchy narration... the pounding drum beat, the Meatshield, the epic battle going on......

This trailer is better than some classic cinematic movies.

[PannellRob]

The monkey on the drums is killin' it. XD

[oplu45]

Probably the best video game commercial ever, at least in the top 3, cuz the new masseffect trailer is kinda insane.

[halo3odst1996]

amazingg!! gears of war is soo better than black ops i think :D i cant wait for number 3 :) not that long left

[MrSpacebar13]

@halo3odst1996 it got delayed until fall :(

[oplu45]

@halo3odst1996 Only problem is that gears 2 had horrible multi player. Fingers crossed for number 3.

[pivotkickass]

thatis the best poem ever

[Sablicious]

Awesome trailer. Atrocious game... especially the on-line and matchmaking.

Hopefully Gears 3 is more like Gear 1 than 2.

[WWhite89]

... then you can blast me. But first play Gears 1.

[WWhite89]

Great trailer. Too bad it was for Gears 2 and not Gears 1. Gears 1 is better then Gears 2, and before ya'll blast me, I ask you... Play Gears 2 if you haven't done so in a while (so remember the graphics, slow gameplay pace, and bullshit you don't like), then play Gears 1. Compare them. If you don't think Gears 1 graphics close to Gears 2, that Gears 1 has a fun and thrilling fast pace gameplay compared to Gears 2 slow pace, and Gears 1 has less bullshit (WARNING: WILL TAKE SKILL TO DO WELL).

[iZach7]

@WWhite89 And just think...if this was for Gears 1 half the stuff in this trailer wouldn't even be in it! Lol All the trailer would be is marcus walking out to the battlefield and everyone getting mutilated by the kryll Hahaha

[kawa1spaz]

THE LOCUST MARCUS WAS CARRYING WAS ALIVE! Just knocked out, you could see him open his eyes at 0:45, and open his mouth in shock at 0:47.

[mrcrow191]

thats a ww1 poem

[luisfl45h]

Greatest video game trailer, ever.

[Batmanprime5993]

whos voice is it ??? anyway love the trailer just wish the game was actually that good

[Blanester]

Even though this game totaly sucked

this trailer is tight.

[wilkens411]

why did it suck...even though this game is pure awesomeness

[ki11er6666]

u suk

[FroZeNSNiiPERClan]

The locust at 0:52 the locust is like...

"Holy Shit!!!"

[johnnyunderw]

best video ever

[GCVos]

Best game trailer ever. This exceeds Mad World (GOW), the Killzone 2 trailers and Arms Race (H3) in my opinion.

[Bro0klyn11212]

HD r0x!!

[IIriguezII]

love to know who narrated it

[NeroBlack2200]

Heck, yes. Awesome pipes, that man.

[chrislittle1986]

@IIriguezII William Morgan Sheppard narrated this. He was in stuff like Star Trek last year and the 2007 Transformers.

[IIriguezII]

@chrislittle1986 thanks for the info! don't suppose there's audio of him reading the full poem?

[1985woooman]

@chrislittle1986 what character did he play as in transformers???

[chrislittle1986]

@1985woooman Archibald (Captain) Witwicky, the sailor grand-father that discovers Megatron.

[1985woooman]

@chrislittle1986 Oh i see, thanks

[Itwasntme0really]

@chrislittle1986 OPTIMUS PRIME

[madnoob666]

and shows the main characters in it

[hakis86]

Not bad at all ;D
