Another Gears of War 2 Leak

Another day, and another leak of Gears of War 2, apparently. One Kombo reader submits a screen from his Xbox 360 dashboard that shows one of his friends is playing the game. The lingering question is "how?" Is someone selling it early? Is the guy a member of the press? Or might this be another case of pre-release piracy?

More than likely a guy with a pirate copy.

Unfortunatly, MS won't ban him/her because they can't tell if it's an original retail disc or a copied disc due to the firmware being used on the drive.

Unless they go around to this person's house and ask to see the actual disc, they can't do anything about it by Law. Shame!

stupid people. first we saw news of it being leaked on torrent site. now u put up this new. thousands of people already have the frikkin game already. so why this new. stupid....

GiantEnemyCrab5655d ago

Completely stupid. Too many half baked gaming sites on the net now all competing for "news" and basically coming up with a bunch of non-news.

Lots of people have it early which is the case with lots of games and this is nothing new.

Vandan5655d ago

ll we have had gow 2 here in pakistan for about 2 weeks now its available freely for around rs 150 which is $1.5 piracy is openly prevalent here n btw its freely available on torrent sites as well...

solidsnakus5655d ago (Edited 5655d ago )

you should check the news more often man cause this next US election will decide whats the future of pakistan. LOL you should probably move out of there or something cause its gonna get messy.

CyberCam5655d ago (Edited 5655d ago )

I don't own a 360 but I have many friends that do. All of them haven't bought a game in 6 months. They all have their 360 moded and get games for $5 or download & burn them for free. 4 of my friends have actually finished GeOW2 single player already.

Piracy is huge on the 360! M$ have about 5 million more units than the PS3 (mostly due to gamers buying more than one replacement unit) that's why M$ is not outselling the PS3 in software sales!

Crazywhitie5655d ago

not true, I get this game on Saturday... the store have it now but i have to wait until my friend works... he said they've had it for a few days now... MS is not banning anyone who plays games early.. only if they can find out the console is modded.. maybe with the new update they got something new to see this.... but right now they don't...

NiraTum5655d ago (Edited 5655d ago )

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?

KicksnSnares673d 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)

ChasterMies672d 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.

Zombieburger638672d ago

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

darthv72673d 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.

Jericho1337673d 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.

Om4ever672d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad673d 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.

LoveSpuds673d 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 🔥🔥🔥

Neonridr806d 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.

ChasterMies806d 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.

Knightofelemia807d 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.

monkey602807d 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.

lucian229806d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares807d 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

RetroCaptainSteve807d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares807d 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.

Profchaos807d 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

Viljong807d ago (Edited 807d ago )

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

myfathersbastard807d 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

Atom6661149d ago

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1149d ago (Edited 1149d 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.
