Gears Of War multiplayer Info JUST IN!

VeNoMouS · 09:11 AM

I was reading through some stuff and found this a couple minutes ago.. this is confirmed information...

A few Gears Of War multiplayer details have emerged via a recent article in Electronic Gaming Monthly. We're salivating for this one.

* Multiplayer Modes: Warzone: 4v4 Elimination
* Assassination: Your team needs to kill the opposing team's leader
* Execution: You must perform an execution mode to finish off your opponent A few other tidbits

* Other: Ranking is by points, not kills. You do get points for each kill, but you also get scored for executions, reviving teammates, melee hits, chain saw kills, head shots with the sniper rifle, doing any type of damage, or grenade-tagging someone.

* Each of the eight multiplayer maps has a certain theme to it (Mansion: destructible cover with the ratty old couches; Gas Station: explosive sections of the level; and so on). Train Station's gimmick is a speedy locomotive that barrels down the middle of the stage every minute or so, killing everything in its path.

* When a teamate dies they enter a "bleeding out" phase where they can be revived unless the timer runs out or they are "executed". This is for SP and MP

* Single-player achievements can be earned in co-op:
o The Nuge: Kill enough people with Torque bow
o Cluster Luck: Simultaneous grenade kills
o Is it a Spider?: Grenade tagging
o 100,000 online kills
o Collecting dog tags scattered around campaign

Further details should hit regarding Gears Of War during the X06 Conference being held in lovely Barcelona over the next couple of days. Of course, Our man on the scene ( who is more than likely a few thousand feet in the air right now en route to the show ) will be bringing us the details as and when they break, direct from the show floor.

Stick with us, it's going to be quite a ride.

No, it's better with 8 players. That way the game will always revolve around teamwork, which is the aim of Gears of War.

Think about it, in a big game you can use the huge map and wide range of distractions to cover yourself. In a smaller game on a smaller map, all you have to cover you is your team. See what i'm saying? I'm so happy that GoW is taking the steps to promote teamwork that it is because I know that it will be a solid game that will last a long time.

And yes, Charlie, the ENTIRE single player game can be taken on with a friend. In fact, your friend can hop in on your campaign mode at any time instantly since he will take the roll of a teammate who is by your side throughout the entire campaign.
