What is a big announcement anyway? We’re not sure how big it is, but the announcement for Gears of War 2 was inevitable. Lead Designer Cliffy B made a big entrance at the Game Developer’s Conference this year (nice chainsaw Cliff, very subtle) to announce that Gears of War 2 was coming exclusively to the Xbox 360 in November.
Cliffy didn’t show us any gameplay, but the trailer certainly gave people plenty of ideas. It showed series protagonist Marcus Fenix clashing chainsaw bayonets with a Locust. After a back and forth struggle, Marcus pushed off his attackers weapon and sawed straight through his adversary.
Now that chainsaw issues might be fixed in Gears of War, let’s hope they finally add matchmaking.
