[quote name='XMastaCrackaX']Where did u get all those pics of the maps? Strategy guide? manual?

thats cool thanks for posting.[/quote]



Strat guide.
 
Most GS/EB are getting them on the 7th. We are told to sell them right when we get them.

As for the return policy, you can return an unopened item until 1/15/07 because of Christmas.
 
[quote name='Randy Orton']I never pre-order games (never have once), and I always manage to get it on day 1. I think pre-orders are pointless for games, but I understand them on systems.[/QUOTE]

it makes it more of a layway for me because i put a few bucks on it whenever i pass by the store.. i never miss the few bucks, and really makes it worth it when i only have to pay like 20$ to go get it on release...

[quote name='AshesofWake']so wait does anybody know if the multiplayer has regular deathmatch or CTF type game modes? or is it just all team play.[/QUOTE]
There is no CTF or Deathmatch.

I was reading that Cliff didn't want any normal deathmatch or CTF modes in the game. So I don't think it has any.
 
[quote name='CaseyRyback']Is the hammer of dawn basically the redeemer?[/QUOTE]

Eh not really. The redeemer was a giant controllable nuke that could be shot down. The hammer of dawn is what a magnifying glass in the sun is to ants as it is in GoW.
 
GoW was on Gamespot's On the Spot show last week and it looks amazing. They were playing the final version and it looks extremely polished... relief.
 
I'm so glad that people are already pissed that there's no CTF or deathmatch.. i'm predicting i'll be able to score a cheap used copy within the week
 
[quote name='guyver2077']wtf no deathmatch!!!!!!!!! thats insanely stupid...

how could there be no deathmatch[/QUOTE]


Because much of the game revolves around depending on others to revive you. You can die in one shot. Deathmatch would get really lame really fast.

Spawn. Play 10 seconds. Die. Spectate. Repeat.


As it is now, you have the chance of getting revived if your team works together.

From wikipedia:
Multiplayer

In Gears of War, multiplayer will have up to eight players (four COGs vs four Locust Horde) engaging in battle throughout several maps. Three modes have been developed: War Zone, Execution, and Resurrection [2]. War Zone is similar to a Deathmatch in other games, except that each player gets one life. This limit changes the focus of the game from large-scale firefights to more tactical search and destroy gameplay. Bleszinski noted that he "doesn't really want the game to devolve into a deathmatch...if you have no fear of death, then you just run at each other." In Execution, teams win by killing the other team's designated leader while protecting their own. The leader is the only player that can pick up weapons during play. In Resurrection, you need to kill an opponent with an up-close-and-personal move, such as the chainsaw or a close-range headshot. Otherwise, the opposing player respawns after a thirty-second wait. Cover, like the single-player game, will be necessary for this mode if the player wishes to survive. Each team starts out with their standard weapons, but there will be more powerful weapons laid out across the level such as sniper rifles and rocket launchers.

The italics are okay. It's the poor grammar, poor spelling, and lack of substantive contribution to this thread other than to add yet another useless post that puts you over the edge.
 
ny 1 kno the on-line limit of how many peeps could be in 1 party... its either 8,16,or most unlikely...new word! 18 players!
 
[quote name='360_FREAK']you my friend are...ghey. AND THAT PIC ...AND THAT PIC...its just shaq-fu'n ghey![/QUOTE]

Grow up, stop posting so much, and quit being such a douche.

Also try and make use of proper english.
 
Saw this at my local Wal-Mart, but the cleark said she couldn't sell it.

I guess it's for the better, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use my %15 discount :D

I really REALLY want to play this game, but I'm a cheapazz at heart.
 
[quote name='360_FREAK']you my friend are...ghey. AND THAT PIC ...AND THAT PIC...its just shaq-fu'n ghey![/quote]

Quoted for Perma-ban.
 
hmmm, Live sounds fun. my only problem is that with tactical online games, it still devlolves into a deathmatch when you are just playing random people on live.
 
saw the game advertised in the new TRU ad.

I was under the impression that everyone minus EB/Gamestop would be getting this November 12th...is everyone going to be getting the game this Tuesday/Wednesday? (I think it's advertised in the CC and BB circular)

It comes out Wednesday. Emergence Day, the 12th, refers to content on XBox Live. The game will be everywhere by Wednesday.
 
[quote name='darkrage']Wednesday? I thought we were going with Tuesday? Im confused.....again[/quote]
Tuesday is the ship date. Most stores would be getting it on Wednesday but it is possible for them to get it on Tuesday also.
 
the only people getting it on tuesday are people same-day shipping it. EB, GS and GC are same-day shipping it.. dunno about Wal-Mart, BB, CC, etc.

It reminds me of a mini Ion Cannon from Command and Conquer. It's actually shown on a larger scale in the first Gears of Wars Trailer.

And as for the BB's having GOW now

The larger version one is part of the story-line. The people of Sera decided to destroy their own cities in an effort to rid themselves of the Locust...which of course didn't work out too well.
 
[quote name='omacrion leader']GEARS OF WAR IS MINE....in 2 days... im gonna kill all those aliens like its 1999

That's cool. Too bad there aren't any aliens in the game :roll:
