Gears of War 2: Horde Can Get Deadly; Waves 1-17 Caught On Tape

GameXtract writes "Now this is when things get intense. Hordes of locusts charging at you, with four other badass gamers ready to back you up; now this is what I call epic. While the title is still a few weeks away many gamers has already noted have gotten their hands on early copies hence the enormous leak of cut-scenes including the ending cut scenes which I have been drastically trying to refrain myself from watching. To keep myself from going insane I've been keeping my GeOW2 interest on edge by watching lots of Horde gameplay so that I can be sure to jump in with my buddies can rock the war-torn world. The five videos below were tipped off to us of a gamer who has gone through wave 1-17 all on film with four other buddies. This is some quality content if you don't want to watch those spoiler cut scenes. All videos can be watched in high quality by clicking on the individual video after the jump."

That looks awesome and fun. No spoilers so I'm good. Stupid host quit. Some guys were streaming it and got to wave 50, I'm not sure if they beat it though.

Deadman645816d ago

yeah looks badass. How many waves are there? And are there difficulty settings or do they just start easy and get hard?

m235816d ago

There is 50 waves and you get to choose the difficulty as far as I know. I don't have the game yet. I think you can choose casual, normal, hardcore or insane.

aceitman5816d ago

i love resistance 2 co-op and that has more enemies on screen than you can think of and more than any game i have played with good ai

pwnsause5815d ago

the grims in the R2 co-op mode is really ridiculous

AAACE55815d ago

I went and reserved it yesterday... Should be fun!

To the guy lower on the post... I have always been against modding!

1. Once you mod it, you can't trade it in, and have to find some sucker who will buy it! I trade consoles when I am done with them, so modding is not an option, also, if it breaks... you lost all your money.

2. Having a modded system just doesn't feel right to me! It makes it feel cheapened and worthless like the way Ps3 fanboys feel about FFXIII going multiplatform (that was not an insult). Which is why I never respected burned DVD's or Music.

But if you like it... more power to you!

gijose5815d ago

quality > quantity

you want a ton of guys with no ai coming at you? it's been done before in serious sam.

marinelife95815d ago

I'll take both the intelligent AI with the numbers. You can pick and choose if you want to.

It doesn't really look all that difficult, but I'm not too sure obviously.These guys don't use cover which is one of the things about Gears 1 that started to annoy me. I wanted to play with cover as the game should be played and everyone turned it into a :roll, shotgun, roll, shotgun: technique.

FailStation35815d ago

all youtube videos look like a ps2 game. your point?

jcfilth5815d ago

everything happens in the same square? those 4 corners? that's all??? boring!
wouldn't it be better if it was like levels or something? I mean like, you finish 5 waves in that street then walk to another street or building to finish another 5 waves and stuff like that? and it just doesn't look challenging. Boring stuff.

This and that ending screams: more creativity please!! or...more space maybe?(BD)

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

KicksnSnares826d ago

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies825d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638825d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72826d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337826d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever825d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad826d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds826d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

https://youtu.be/wy8LRlS1SC...

Neonridr959d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies959d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia960d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey602959d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian229959d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares960d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve960d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares960d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos959d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong959d ago (Edited 959d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard959d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

Atom6661302d ago

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1302d ago (Edited 1302d ago )

Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:

1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
