    Absolutely nothing is known about this game as of yet, but it looks like it might be scheduled for a winter '08 launch. I'm hoping for more of the same, with more weapons, more open enviroments (possibly a bit brighter - deserts/snow/forrests?), and a few Cliff-gimmicks/innovations a la the active reload in GoW 1. Destructible enviroments would be cool as well.

    Yes.

    Not removing content would be a good idea, and ending it properly too.

    Four player co-op and some actual net-code for the multiplayer please.

    Is Gears one of those guaranteed trilogy-games (like Mass Effect), or am I imagining things?

    Word in the industry is that GoW2 will feature substantial shooting of things.

    Well seeing as how the original managed to shift about two million copies I don't think its unlikely.

    It was at 3 mill a year ago :|

    www.joystiq.com/2007/01/19/gears-of-war-a-failure-sells-a-meager-3-million-copies


    so id say its done quite abit since then :|

    Ste

    LMAO

    the first comment on that site is

    "Lol, only three million copies? It if came out on a real system like the PS3 and had 4-D graphics, it would have probably sold 90 million. It's a shame because I really like Cliffyb, he's so pretty. It's just too bad that he made his game for the sex-box three-shitty."

    lmao...

    Shame they can't come up with something original.

    I fucking hate sequels.

    I think the main thing, that I'm fairly certain we'll see, is four-player co-op; I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the levels were designed with this in mind, but hopefully done slightly better than the two-paths approach in GOW1.

    Otherwise, I think a bit more variety in the levels; more different locations, perhaps more open plan levels, maybe more vehicles.

    Oh yeah, and them bats sucked.

    Oh, and better achievements - a few more singleplayer ones wouldn't hurt.

    Two things I'd be happy never to see again

    1) the bird / bat things.

    2) The stupid tank that can't do two things at once (ie drive / shoot)

    I thought it was fine the way it was. They could have made the "auto stick to wall" distance a little larger though.

    Yeah, the bats were pretty annoying.

    What happened to Cliffy B? Or does he have a different role altogether?

    Again, erm no.

    One of the problems with the game, for me anyway, was being sucked to walls you didn't want to be when roadie running purely because you were 'somewhat near their vicinity'.

    Apparently the first game also had a MS overseer.

    Yes, he was the guy famed for shouting until he was blue in the face that he wanted the chainsaw removed from the game. The fool. :)
