Talk:Gears of War 2

Confirmed at GDC. Capitalization needs fixed.

Since this game has finally been confirmed, this page needs to be moved to Gears of War (not "war")... Please unprotect or make the move. Thanks. xenocidic (talk) 19:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Can an admin please do that. john.n-irl (talk) 19:18, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I've contacted the protecting admin to lift the restriction. xenocidic (talk) 20:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I filed a request on the protection page, so hopefully we'll be able to redirect this page to Gears of War 2 soon. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 20:25, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I was going to do that but it suggested that you contact the protecting admin first. Whichever is faster, I suppose. xenocidic (talk) 20:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Looks all good now :) --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 21:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Er, just a simple move was needed. heh :p JAF1970 (talk) 00:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Aye, when I wrote the above comments, "Gears of War 2" was edit-locked. xenocidic (talk) 00:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

Semi-prot requested for a few days. JAF1970 (talk) 00:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Fact error

Soft body physics has nothing to do with textures. It is purely a geometric deformation effect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.115.22.148 (talk) 12:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Box art

The box art is official Microsoft and Epic Megagames box art, issued as part of the press kit. They're issued as official. The disclaimer on the bottom is legal, allowing them to change their minds at some future point. But that IS the official box art from now til release. JAF1970 (talk) 15:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

The cover specifically states "Artwork Not Final", meaning that there is no guarantee that Microsoft will use that specific box-art. Given its from a fan kit, the images are nearly promotional, and not really a box art, meaning they should also use a {{promotional}} tag until a final box art is officially announced. While the image is official is there a real need to add it? Is there a reference or document from the fan kit that actually verifies that the boxart' is actually official? This article is only a few days old, adding promotional images is not really a major concern at this point. --ShadowJester07 ► Talk 20:29, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

EXCUSE ME? A "fan kit"? No. Do you even KNOW what a press kit is? This is issued to websites, including resellers. This is OFFICIAL MICROSOFT BOX ART. "Artwork Not Final" does not mean this is placeholder - it means they're sticking with this unless they get a better idea. Learn the industry. JAF1970 (talk) 06:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Deleted the Gameplay section

At this point, there is no information on gameplay. Whoever created that section and said there was a trailer featuring gameplay entitled "Duel" at GDC is a goddamn filthy liar. All we have right now is a cinematic teaser trailer with Marcus "dueling" with a Locus. With that being said, until there's an official statement saying chainsaw dueling will be in the game and not for cinematic purposes, anything said is only an assumption and has no room in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Big Boss Inc.

Please be civil and assume good faith. oh, and sign your posts. xenocidic (talk) 23:18, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

There's actually a tech demo that shows some gameplay. If you want a link it's right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkcM4djkvLI

So you see, I'm no liar, it is pretty much confirmed how gameplay will be. (talk) 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Saying that we know nothing about gameplay is a pretty naive statement in itself: it's a sequel. They're not exactly gunna break the mold here. xenocidic (talk) 02:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Please read WP:V, all information on Wikipedia must be cited. We do not know what the gameplay will be. We can assume all we want to, but editor assumptions are not allowed on Wikipedia. Your personal assumption that the gameplay won't change because its a sequel is irrelevant, we need reliable sources. Sorry, but YouTube is not a reliable source of information. Source it or remove it until you can.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:03, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for providing a source.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:05, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing. in future perhaps just tag it with a for a day or two before deleting it. though, I agree that deleting the speculation regarding "dueling" was warranted. cheers. xenocidic (talk) 04:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Cinematic teaser? You mean the game isn't entirely black-and-red? I thought that was the new style for Gears of War 2 and that was a real time rendering of the game in a state comparible to the finished product. 142.165.59.39 (talk) 11:02, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
