- May 27, 2008 00:00 AM PST
According to UK-based X360 Magazine (June 2008), Gears of War 2 will feature 10-person online multiplayer, 12 bundled maps, and multiple finishing moves.
In addition to the slight increase in number of players, Gears 2 multiplayer will feature "Halo-style" matchmaking, access to a fiery flamethrower, and as-advertised chainsaw duels, promises the early preview from X360.
Confirmed multiplayer modes include a remade version of "Assassination," where players continually respawn so long as the leader remains alive; "Wingman," were two players team up to control a single character while competing against four other teams; and "Meatflag," a novel approach to capture-the-flag where the flag itself is a wondering, hostile enemy which must be first stunned with gun fire, then escorted back to base to score.
According to X360, Gears of War 2 is 65 percent complete. The highly anticipated third-person shooter is scheduled for release on Xbox 360 this November.
Information from Xbox 360 Fanboy was used in this report.
