yess NEW GOW2 details!!! (April 8):

There will be hundreds of Locust on screen and Game Informer heard hints that there will be dramatically expanded co-op modes to multiplayer content that takes advantage of the engine's new ability to deliver huge numbers of Locusts at one time....For a while, Xbox 360 gamers have been waiting to fight a Brumak without having to buy the PC version of Gears of War. Voice-actor John DiMaggio, who voices Marcus Fenix in Gears of War, has revealed that Xbox 360 owners will finally get a chance to fight a Brumak in Gears of War 2. But that may not mean much at all, because the Brumak won’t longer be the biggest Locust in Sera.

CliffyB told Game Informer that Gears 2 “will have creatures that make the Brumak look like a baby panda bear." The article also unveils four new characters: Tai Kaliso, a spiritual and meditative warrior with a badass tattooed face; Chairman Prescott, the leader of the COG forces; Dizzy, the driver of the Derrick, a new massive vehicle; and Maria Santiago, Dom’s wife, who will act as one of the plot devices that motivates the characters and advances the story. The magazine also revealed that the game will feature multiple save files and multiple difficulty settings on a single co-op session. So for example, one player can play on Hardcore, while the other plays on Casual, and the game will be aware of these different difficulty settings so when the players take different paths, they will have different experiences based on the chosen level of difficulty.

Finally, the article confirmed what was suggested in the teaser trailer of the game. There will be new chainsaw duels that expand the game’s combat mechanics and boss battles will be more fun and epic in scale.

This will probably suck, because people will find out how to glitch these so they always win :(

Those features sound great, but in my opinion the most important thing they need to do is rethink the online system because as it stands:

HOST >>>>>> everything

LAN however, is an entirely different story.

I have to disagree. When it first came out this was the case, but later on it became more and more balanced. I'm sure they will change it a little more too. If your good enough it usually didn't matter though.
