Fantastic effort on bringing us the latest, greatest Gears 2 news, but you've overlooked the shamefully unfinished ending - they didn't meet anything approaching the target render for the final cutscene.
Just look at these character designs (spoiler: Locust queen vs. Marcus Fenix final showdown):
No wonder there's so many complaints. I just can't believe people are already anticipating Gears of War 3, because the format is just too predictable - as we can deterine from these teasers screenshots released just this morning. First a couple of easy levels to get us feeling nice and confident in our skills, so we buy the whole badass marketing bullshit
then a tedious grind though underground caverns to root out the Locust once and for all...
again
Where's it going to end, Epic? I mean why bother. People are only buying for the multiplayer at this point anyway. You might as well just release a game that consists entirely of deathmatches and team-based objective matches. That would be unreal for tournaments.
