Making of - Gears of War 2 [Behind the Scenes]

[@garrettmjones]

Gears of War E-Day will save us fellow gears. Hang in there. We are so back

[@senormarston]

Fuck yeah, bud; I want to play and replay E Day campaign so much that I lose count just as I did with the og trilogy; this The Coalition last chance to earn that name for their studio

[@LoneWolf_Nova]

I hope they dont mess it up.

[@Scromanoe]

Counting the days 😭

[@TheAgentAssassin]

Gamers will find a way to hate it, trust me, they will, they always do.

[@LoneWolf_Nova]

​@@TheAgentAssassin I don't agree because we are fans of the series and the Coalition has not yet proved that they can make a good gears game yet. This is why fans are sceptical and excited about E-Day. Us fans don't want season passes or any micro transactions we just a good game.

[@Scromanoe]

I have a heavy emotional attachment to this franchise. I’m so happy E-Day is coming. 😭

[@danieldominguez5863]

Alot of people absolutely love tf out of the first Gears of War game but to me Gears 2 has always been the best Gears in the series. The story was truly an amazing experience

[@CyraXFactor]

The story was great. It was the MP that let everyone down.

[@xxskeletonmanxx]

The story for 2 is the best in the franchise but 3 had the best multiplayer and improved with using dedicated servers

[@Robbo117]

​@CyraXFactor I thought pvp was still good

[@Emmaca0204]

Same, i started playing gears in 07 online and campaign was krazy then but gears of war 2 was next level, the multiplayer was wild, horde ufff got me hooked in that mode. And the campaign was absolutely beautiful.

[@PFC_Kachowski]

The Gears 2 soundtrack went absolutely crazy mode, Steve Jablonsky does not get enough credit for that masterpiece

[@NotHere2SellCookies]

I am so glad I got to experience the original 3 games when they came out. What an experience that was.

[@YormanGina]

It's interesting how similar Gears and Halo are in terms of their stories and development. Halo: CE and Gears 1 were the introduction to a new world and setting, along with a fresh gameplay style that was fun enough to warrant buying a console for. Halo 2 and Gears 2 had gripping stories and pivotal moments that greatly expanded the lore for each, from playing as the Covenant via the Arbiter, to taking the fight to the Locust Hollows and capital. Most fans will agree that they are the most memorable campaign for each series. Halo 3 and Gears 3 wrapped up the stories with satisfying endings, along with offering the best multiplayer experience that ran strong for years and years. The sheer amount of variety that both titles had truly spoiled us. I'm sure we all remember playing custom zombie matches in Halo or fighting off waves of Locust (or playing as them) in Gears. Halo 4 and Gears 4 were the start of a new trilogy. Both games weren't recieved as well by fans, but over time people came to appreciate them for what they were: A fresh spin on an old series that still tried to follow what made their predecessors great. Halo 5 and Gears 5 took all that effort and threw it out the window. They killed what hope and goodwill that fans had, leaving both titles just floating in the void. Here's hoping that E-Day brings us back to the Gears that we all loved growing up.

[@romans5875]

Very well said I totally agree. Both E-Day and Infinte are return to form, I’m cautiously optimistic

[@BarrickMacready]

Hopefully they listened to our concerns and the Trailer they showed us that they probably see what sells Gears of war. That trailer is everything we have always wanted

[@Aegxs]

Do not cope for Halo 4 and Gears 4. Halo 4 is a bad game targeting the CoD audience. Gears 4 has the single shittiest cast of characters that have ever been written. Even JD, who is an entitled protagonist Golden Boy who doesn’t seem fazed by anything. Del was a springboard for “funny” quips to bounce off of. And Kait was kind of there to move the plot and be a girlboss archetype. Not to mention that gears 4’s campaign is a 3 paragraph essay drawn out to be 5 acts. Gears 5 on the other hand was the unique experiment you spoke of. New open world type acts, playable Jack, hidden weapon variants that offer new playstyles or powerful advantages. And what, 5 was bad because Kait is a bad protagonist? I know there were legitimate gripes and grievances about monetization and grind at launch, but I wasn’t around to speak on them now. As it stands now, Gears 5 has a good progression system for Horde and Escape, unable to speak on versus as I’ve not played it. Gears 5 is now a fun game, and I hope they look into how fun this iteration feels to make better experiences

[@roguespartan2854]

1:24... this is a mentality that AAA devs are not getting anymore which is why it has gone down the drain so hard for the past 8+ years now

[@SunAndMirror]

Gears 5 cannot compare. Look at the visuals here. The physics. The audio. The storyline. The attention to detail. EVERYTHING seems handled with care.

Should Gears of War: E-Day prove to be a disappointment, it would ruin my confidence in The Coalition. The game's failure to meet expectations could potentially signify the end of the Gears of War series.

I remember playing the first game religiously on mp and when Gears 2 came out we played for a few hours and started scrimming on the first game again.. The story on 2 was amazing but the multiplayer was nothing on the first.. I hope e-day has bare bones multiplayer like Gears 1

[@FadingNebula]

THIS IS SO GOOD!! I hope they showed this to TC before they began creating E-Day. Im sure it's going to be good this time around.

[@mrbear5417]

for anyone regretting not playing gears back in the day, gears of war ultimate edition is the remastered gears of war 1 and the campaign is STILL a great time to play. recently revisited it myself and it was a blast. gears of war 2 i believe is still backwards compatible and that campaign is AMAZING and really expands on the world perfectly, and gears 3 campaign, imo, wasnt as spectacular as i hoped but still finishes off the original trilogy really well

[@nologic29]

The original Gears of War trilogy (online multiplayer excluded, to an extent) is a perfect example of how to keep improving a franchise. Every campaign was better than the last. The added game modes, features, weapons, opponents, etc kept improving.

[@playerone2629]

They threw a few big spoilers in there.

[@deathblade19999]

Dont get why everyone is trashing on gears 4 and 5 so hard. Its okay that the originals are better but nothing about 4 or 5 suck. Campaign was great just didn't like kait being forced but even then it added new content for myrrah. Multiplayer was great in both and horde mode is better than ever. Im glad they are moving on from Marcus's journey because that doesn't undo the magic that was the original. Compare 4 and 5 to halo or the low effort cod puts in and gears is ahead.

[@senormarston]

Problem with Gears 4 and 5 are the characters and story; gameplay wise Gears of War has always evolved for the best with each entry

[@deathblade19999]

Characters are definitely a rough spot. JD has great potential but isnt very deep. Kait sucks and only is good because of myrrah. Del is so generic and bland. Story is actually really good on paper but the execution could be better.

[@LamentedSun]

Gears tactics funnily enough feel like got story and characters really right imo
