Gametrailers just put up an exclusive new gameplay trailer for Gears of War 2 for 360. The benefits of the new improvements to the Unreal 3 engine are apparent throughout the trailer. It boasts a smoother framerate, better lighting, and huge hoards of enemies not seen in the first GoW.
The footage also shows some new gameplay mechanics, including the ability to use enemies as a human shield, breaking their necks once they’ve outlived their usefulness. The chainsaw has some new uses as well. You can now thrust it into an opponents back, or duel with enemies while rapidly pressing the B button.
A few new weapons are shown. One appears to be a shotgun like weapon with a high rate of fire, and another was a pistol sized weapon with auto rapid fire.
The pacing in the stage looked more frenetic, and much larger on the scale of an actual war. I’m officially excited about this and can’t wait to see more on this game and get my hands on it this November.
