We were treated with gameplay delivered by none other that Cliffy B, as he controlled reappearing hero Marcus Fenix through a large battle against a horde of locust. Showing off some gameplay mechanics, he was quickly able to grab a wounded enemy and use him as a meat shield as he fought off against more oncoming enemies. When the job was done, Marcus twisted the Locust’s head and killed it instantly.
All of the gameplay shown was done during co-op mode. Besides the expected co-op and multiplayer, there will be Horde mode, which is a five player co-op mode where players take on wave after wave of locust. The game looks and feels great, with a much more epic style of battle (pun intended).
Expect Gears of War 2 in stores worldwide on November 7.
