NEW Gears of War INFO(READ)

Uday23 · 04-27-2006

There is some new info on Gears Of War in the latest issue of OXM. First of all, there have been some weapon tweaks. There will be one button for weapon reloading, and if players miss the reload opportunity the weapon will be locked for a time. Secondly, Epic has revised all of the animations and even re-motion-captured some of them. Apparently the A button will do many things. When a player is being shot at it will force a roll, and it wil also put the player into cover mode if there is cover nearby. Thirdly, in multiplayer mode there are several modes. One player can activate a light so the other player can attack the enemy. This obviously means there will be mutiplayer co-op. You can even send intructions to your friend's HUD. Next, there will be an immense weapon called the "Hammer Of Dawn" which will literally devestate an entire map. There are also explosive arrows that can be fired different distances by holding the fire button down longer. When a companion dies is MP mode other players can heal them similar to the healing mode in Perfect Dark Zero. In every level there will be hidden graffiti symbols called "Crimson Omens" that players can seek out for achievments. That is it for now but explosive arrows? John Rambo eat your heart out.
