After watching the recent Gears 2 campiagn gameplay for the umpteenth time, I decided to share as many things as I could. These are things that I found most interesting about the clip.
Carmine Returns (sort of)
You all probly noticed that there is a character that wears the exact same outfit as Carmine. What some of you may not have noticed is that this "new Carmine" Seems to be voiced by the same actor as well. Just as the Ravan helicopter gets blown out of the sky (in the openning clip) you can hear Carmine's distinctive voice say, "Oh, here we go". Shortly afterwards, you can hear him yell, "BOOMERS! Sh*t!" when the nemacyst causes the explosion on the top of the Derrick in front of them.
I'm sure that this character is not actually Carmine though. Marcus seems to call him Dunder or possibly Gunther (when the Locusts start climbing aboard with their grappling hooks) but I can't be sure. If anyone thinks they know what he says, please post. It's when he yells "Keep him off the rig, [?????]! Take out the hooks!"
Human Shield (er...I mean, Locust shield)
To use a Locust's body as a shield simply walk up to one that has been Downed and press the A button. Presumably, this action can only be performed with a pistol drawn, as you'll need your other hand to carry the locust. This however, remains to be confirmed.
Lancer 2.0
You'll notice that the Lancer is slightly remodeled. The most noteworthy difference being the strange blue laser-crosshairs. It's like an inferior version of a red-dot scope. kind of cheesey too. (sorry Epic)
New Hammerburst
After seeing that first image of the Hammerburst in the recent Game Informer article, I wondered why they changed the look so drasticly. Now we know that it not only looks different, but it performs differently as well. Instead of firining in 6-round bursts, it now fires one shot at a time (making me wonder why they still call it a Hammerburst). Each clip holds 18 shots.
Ps: I love that we now have a weapon that behaves this way. I am curious to know if it'll come with a partial zoom as well (like the pistols).
Chainsaw Duel
Notice that during the chainsaw duel, the icon at the bottom of the screen indicates that the player must rapidly tap the B button in order to win. Also note that once the duel is won, Marcus cuts through the Locust much quicker than usual, since he has already spent so much time "dueling". Also notice that not very much blood splatters on the screen, blocking the view.
Gorgon Burst-Pistol
Fires in 8-round bursts. Can fire up to 4 bursts before reloading.
New Execution Move
There's a new vid that shows alternate footage from the New Gameplay sequence. It Features a sweet new execution move. No indication on what button is pressed to perform it though.

Also, note that the Locust getting pummeled is wearing a sweet looking facemask (lets hope this Locust winds up in Multiplayer!)
