-Someone who is chainsawing can be killed instead of waiting for their animation to finish
-Curb stomping is back
-There are weapon-specific executions
-Carmine is back
-When injured, characters will drip blood along walls (along with meat shields)
-Tapping the A button when downed will LET YOU CRAWL AWAY!
-Multiplayer is 5 on 5
-More maps and modes will ship in the box than Gears 1 ("will compete with other titles in the space")
-Chainsaw has different specific executions
-Chainsaw duels can have draws, but if you win, the rest of the chainsaw animation is extremely quick (regular chainsaw takes the time that the duel has)
-Players can drive the Centaur, ride on the Derrick and Gears 2 will have other player controlled vehicles
-Longer campaign, more weapons and more Locust types
-Very, VERY gory and violent

Can't watch the video while I am at work, so I *bleep*ing love you so much Mike for posting those descriptions below it.

Didn't think it was possible to get this excited for a video game, but *bleep*, I can't wait!

WEAPON SPECIFIC EXECUTIONS!? CRAWLING AWAY WHEN DOWNED!? HOLY *bleep* ME SIDEWAYS NOW THAT IS SOME MOB-BOSS SHIT RIGHT THERE!


And did they specifically say that "Carmine" was back? I assume you just mean its another guy in a helmet.

What can I say...sounds awesome

I already don't like that idea.

*Carmine shows up*
"Carmine how did you..."
"I was brought back...as a Cyborg...BY THE LOCUST!"
*Carmine pulls out gun*

*Cue dramatic music*


Lame.

Carmine's brother maybe?

Yeah CliffyB said specifically that "Carmine is back"

Not the same thing.

Some interesting details, alright. I bet Gears 3 will have 6 on 6. You heard it here first.

Yay for Carmine. "OMG, they killed Carmine!" "You bastards!"

The crawling away idea really has got me excited. That shit is like some real life war right there, haha. Often times when a battle is hectic on Gears I'll say something like "Damn, its like Vietnam out here!"

5 on 5 is cool too, but I hope they dont feel the need to make the maps a lot larger. Wouldn't be good for the game.

Oh shit I'm getting excited. I'm liking a lot of what's been introduced, they're really making the game a lot deeper and darker. The crawling away idea is brilliant, as is the meat shield feature.

I'm with DMD on the 5v5, hopefully the maps still have that Gears feel. Also on the MP front, I'm interested to see what the new game types will be.

I'm sure we'll be getting an increasing amount of information as the months pass, seeing as now is still 6 months away from release, and we're getting a good amount of info.

Near the end, there was one clip that really caught my eye. Marcus flipped a Drone onto its back, and just beat its face in. Was that in the original video clip? I don't remember that.

Is it gameplay footage? Could be one of the new executions.

When he said Carmine's back am I the only one thinking it'll just be another generic soldier?

Rest of the stuff he commented on looks awesome, can't wait.

Gow2 Multiplayer > H3 Multiplayer, No challenge. And is it me, or does the Lancer look different, Thats if it is the lancer. [/moreHype]

At a certain stage (if not all of the video) he was using the new Hammerburst.
