Gears of War 2 Announced

Providing a dramatic close to Microsoft's 2008 Game Developers Conference keynote address, lead designer Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games announced that the heroic saga of Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad will continue exclusively on Xbox 360 this fall withGears of War® 2.

This highly anticipated sequel to the blockbuster Gears of War delves deeper into humanity's struggle for survival against the nightmarish Locust Horde, and takes the high-definition visuals to a whole new level.

"To our team the original game was just a tease, the appetizer to the Gears of War characters and new style of gameplay. We were so amped to get to the next chapter, and dig deeper into the universe of this franchise," said Bleszinski. "Gears of War 2 is an even bigger, better, and more badass experience than the first game, and we can't wait to get it in the hands of eager gamers this November."

Game Features
Gears of War 2 continues the story of Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad, locked in an increasingly desperate battle against the nightmarish Locust Horde for the survival of humanity. Gears of War 2 is an larger-than-life saga of survival, loss, and retribution.

Gears of War 2 is developed by Epic Games for Microsoft Game Studios and joins a growing list of must-have Xbox 360 exclusives. Look for Gears of War 2 when it storms onto retail shelves this November.

Definately. I'd also like to see a matchmaking system for the Online, because it has always taken forever to get into a game of gears, and it just gets annoying after a while..

I agree an actual good story would be nice also. Speaking of Epic there was a rumor that Microsoft offered Epic Games 1Billion dollars to buy them out. Cliffy.B joked about it and said he would never sell the company for that cheap. Also theres no word from Microsoft on the rumor but I'd definitely be happy to see Microsoft somewhat replace Bungie in making extremely good selling games because the future of the Xbox worries me if the Halo fan base loses interest. I'm not saying they would die, but think of all the people who bought Xbox just for the Halo games...
