LE or Standard

[Renegade_X]

Are you guys getting the Limited Edition or Standard GOW 2 and why ?

[Hooligunn]

Limited Edition 100%. Purely for the lush tin case and the making of - all the other stuff is just a nice little bonus. I love seeing well made Making Of videos, since it's just so interesting to get an inside look at how the game was made.

[Gridlock AAO117]

LE. Simply for the Bonus things. And it's only $10 more.

[AFKontroller]

Standard- I like to have the traditional Cover art and you can usually find all the LE videos on youtube.

[Bret Hart]

LE for sure, got mine pre-ordered on amazon

[cormano]

Standard- I like to have the traditional Cover art and you can usually find all the LE videos on youtube.

^^^^ditto.

[Xx Canadien xX]

Limited Edition,I like having all those extra things.

[toiletduk]

LE. It's only $10 difference, unlike the $130 Fallout 3 pack.

[ARman]

LE the booklet inside will be a good read for the car journey home after the midnight launch.

[JesterKing]

Standered. I wasted my money on the Halo 2 LE for videos I found on youtube.

[SoxFan0392]

Standard- I like to have the traditional Cover art and you can usually find all the LE videos on youtube.

QFT. Everything in the LE will be on youtube the minute someone gets it.

[TheGoldElite]

I dont know yet, if the "gold lancer" code rumours (doubt it) are true I might, but I hate preordering games, so i dont know yet

*edit*

Lancer of gold confirmed by Gamestop =D
buy it buy it buy it buy it buy it. it better be blinged out like army of two weapons.

[Zieu]

Limited Edition, purely for the Gold Lancer. Sure, behind the scenes stuff is cool too, but if the Lancer was the only thing included I'd still pay $10 extra. :D

[ARman]

The least you can do for Epic is buy the LE :) its only a little extra on top

[LocustQueen]

Just the Standard edition.

[ARman]

How come Locust?

[CoatedTrout]

LE. I like to watch the videos on me DVD player and the new behind the scenes book thing looks good.

I think I want this game enough to warrant me paying more than the standard price.

[The_Big_TickeTT]

Limited Edition, because uh, I am a Gears of War die-hard fan, I love supporting Epic because they are making arguably the best game for years to come. But specifically the tin/box-art for the LE looks sick, and I LOVE watching those making-of DVDs and I want to read the book that comes with it as well.

[ARman]

I'm surprised you can read Tickett :)

[AVTR3]

I preordered the LE and I'm going to get the LE. However, I think I might get the Standard as well so I have a backup in case the disc gets scratched and so I have the traditional cover art.

[Marth]

^^ Wow, lol.

LE for me too, because this is a special game for me. My most anticipated game since 2006 and I would be crazy NOT to get the LE game. Also because I have the LE of the first Gears. :)

-Marth

[xBTMx]

I pre-ordered LE from Gamestop. This game will be 2 good to not support Epic and buy the LE.

[fps0alan]

Well I'm going to buy the limited edition I not sure the pricing of the limited edition but I'm pretty sure it's about maybe 10 dollars more than the standard edition which is definitely worth the extra 10 dollars and I have a collection of limited edition games already like: Halo 3, Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty 4 and GTA4 and considering Gears is my favourite game of all-time how can I not get the limited edition and I always found the Behind the Scenes entertaining because I always wanted to know the lives of the people who made the game and hoping for some Gears goodies to put around in my room =P

[DUBL DUECE]

I will be pre-ordering the LE.

[The_Big_TickeTT]

I'm surprised you can read Tickett :)

*Wah, wah, waaaaah*

Haha, good one.

[The_Big_TickeTT]

Marth, we should have a LAN when it comes out, I am in Irvine at least once a week, my bro goes to UCI, and I know a lot of people here locally that play. I have had a LAN before with a few friends I met over XBL for Gears 1 and it was pretty sick. It would be 10x that for Gears 2 just because the game is better.

[DieNasty]

Might as well keep it going and get the LE for numero dos.

[Hooligunn]

You could stick dogcrap in the LE for a big title game and I'd buy it. I just feel special games need the special tin case and deserve the extra money spent - there are alot of games I skip the limited edition for unless it's worth getting (like Bad Company's Gold Edition). Just a habit of mine, but I just always have done that for 360.

[Symbolic]

I never really thought about ever getting the LE for any game. But, I might just wind up buying the LE for this game. Just for the fact for a cool lookin' Lancer, and a few extra bonuses. Its always interesting to see what goes into making the game.

Still undecided though, but I'm considering it.

[Hooligunn]

Just for the fact for a cool lookin' Lancer, and a few extra bonuses.

This is what gets me. This golden lancer. Why not a Hammerburst as well? I mean honestly, I'm not touching the lancer most probably in Gears 2. The hammerburst allows you to fan and is apparently more powerful than the lancer - once I learn how to control the recoil, why would I bother with the lancer, y'know?

That's why I hope there is a gold version of the Hammerburst, because I'll use it. I will use the lancer in player matches with friends, or if it turns out to be just as good, but the new hammerburst really appeals to me.

[AFKontroller]

^^ Wow, lol.

SE for me too, because this is a special game for me. My most anticipated game since 2006 and I would be crazy NOT to get the SE game. Also because I have the SE of the first Gears.

[AFKontroller]

sorry, double

You do have a point, I never really use the Lancer much in MP, either. It would be better if they gave us a code to choose which starting weapon ( that includes the pistol, gnasher shotgun, or the lancer ) we want as a gold weapon. I think that would be a much better idea. Allowing us to choose, rather than just giving us only one choice.

[AFKontroller]

The Lancer is the logo-gun of Gears, so ofcourse it has to be gold!

Oh sorry my bad I'm putting across the wrong message. I mean in GEARS 2 I want be using the lancer much because the hammerburst looks like a better weapon (and apparently is if you can learn to control the fanning recoil). I use the lancer in the right situation on Gears. You can do alot with it if you use it right. If I'm hosting, I do my best not to touch it as host lancer is SERIOUSLY unfair.

As for your golden weapon idea, yeah and no. I see what you mean, but they'd have to include the gold weapons on the disk. And then you'd only unlock one of them when there are far more on there. I'd rather just Hammerburst and Lancer personally. That way it prevents people getting multiple codes somehow and having an "all gold" collection of weapons. :D

Eh. Good point. Just stick with the golden lancer, save everybody and EPIC all the trouble. :P.

I rarely play LAN, except in my cousins house on random Saturday nights. It is indeed sick. Having everyone play with no lag shows you just how skillful you really are against other players. No one is at a disadvantage.

So yeah, once Gears 2 is released, you'd best bring it on, CLONE! =D

PS. Where in Cali are you exactly? I always seem to think you're from San Fran (don't know why <_<), but it's now apparent you're in the south.

[xSINxApocalypse]

Blah, Special Edition for me.
I want to see the making of, behind the scenes stuff. I love love game design.
Also, who doesn't want a bada$$ golden lancer.

[C A 12 M 1 N E]

LE because of all the extra content and bonuses provided with a steel tin case:cool:

[Bizkitdoh]

Amazon pre-order of special editon. I needz my lancer :P plus... i need a golden one to, only for the fact of showing people who think their better because of their golden lancer, then i'll smash em with mine :) im also fond of extra content like the picture of Maria and other goodies.

[Chenery]

LE so i dont look like a cheap ass which a standard lancer! lol just kidding

now ive become a die hard gearshead LE is the way forward

[Manks21]

LE. I love all the extras and I'm very interested in watching and reading it. The Golden lancer is pretty cool as well.
