The Executionlist

[Antynos]

So far we have thousands of threads about executions let's make one final thread for this where we put everything together , in one list.

I included the Boomer,Mulcher,Mortar even though I am almost 95% sure that they wont have a execution because they kill instead of down. And just tear body's apart but maybe you can still do the racical attack.

Of course everyone's favorite and GOW 1 only exeuction: Curbstomp - X
Lancer:
Y Punching
B ?

Hammerburst:
Y Punching
B ?

Shotgun:
Y Punching
B The grip from the shotgun against the foe's head, this execution looks like golf.

Boomer:
Y ?
B ?

Mortar:
Y ?
B ?

Scorcher:
Y ?
B ?

Pistols:
Y I assume this is the neckbreaking thing, whack it over his neck with the end of the pistol.
B ?

Mulcher:
Y ?
B ?

Sniper:
Y Sledgehammer on the back or head.
B ?

TB:
Y Snapping his head off with the TB.
B ?

Now we just have to wait for more footage of the executions/information. If you think anything is wrong with the list just post it.

What is locust alternative never heard of that.

[Nov 7]

Oh i though the pistol one was just punting them over the head and killing them

[Antynos]

They had a locust alternative but removed that one a couple of monthes later. Now I assume epic just implented a new one. So thats the one I am not certain on what it looks like.

It would be stupid to call it a racical execution if both races use the same execution...
Thats why I hope they implent a new one instead of the old (ripping an arm of and smack them with it)

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! they took out the locust arm ripping execution :mad::mad::mad:

[WoolyPower]

Double post - sorry.

[WoolyPower]

All of the "B" executions will be quick melee's like in the original apart from the Lancer, where you will chainsaw them. If you hold it in that is.

I've never told anyone what I think the weapon specific buttons are but IMO, I think the Longshot, Torque, pistol (all 3) and shotgun all work by pressing Y. Any other weapon will result in 3 punch kill. (unless there are more executions to be revealed but I kinda doubt it)

^^ Locust alternative means the racial execution for the Locust, which was supposed to be the arm-ripping-off-and-beating-COG-to-death-with-it execution. But that was scrapped.

Why did they take it out?

Do you got that confirmed chainsaw kill? As in a movie or epic's words? I have never found anything about it myself.

Thanks for clearing up the punching then I'll change it right away then

[WoolyPower]

Well, what else will the B button do with a Lancer equipped? If they are down I think the chainsaw comes down and lops their head off, but in recent videos, downed people get chainsawed like in Gears 1.

[Hooligunn]

Ant, no offence to you, but you have no clue about most of those buttons. As in, you've ASSUMED it's the Y button when it could well be the B button. Not a good idea to put executions down like that when we don't have confirmation on which button does what.

The only one we know for sure is the shotgun, courtesy of Overkill who played the game at X08, where B does a quick golf club execution and Y does the punches.

[Marth]

Boomer execution? Heh. The weapon is called the Boomshot. The Boomer is the huge, slow tank-like Locust that carries the weapon around with him.

[xXxGeArSxFrEaKxXx]

The lancer execution for B is still the same old chainsaw

[C. Freeman]

The lancer execution for B is still the same old chainsaw

Unfortunately, neither you nor anyone else knows that for certain. We've seen videos of a lancer head lop and we've seen videos of full chainsaws. For all you know they are both there but depend on either holding down b or hitting b quickly. Until someone plays a demo and reports back, this entire thread is mere speculation.

[xXxGeArSxFrEaKxXx]

I have seen a video where they guy is down and gets chainsawed, its the same as the first game

[C. Freeman]

Clearly you didn't read my post. Seeing a guy get chainsawed does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that that there is no quick melee for the Lancer. All you know is that he was chainsawed, which requires holding down the B button. You do not know if a quick B would have done anything different -- you are just speculating.

EDIT:
Here's a bad video, but at least we'll all be looking at the same thing. At 7:00, you see a decapitation with a Lancer and not a full chainsaw.
http://www.dailymotion.com/search/gears%2Bof%2Bwar%2B2/video/x642ts_gears-of-war-2-video-exclusif_videogames

Hooligunn, I don't know what button does what, but I think GearsFreak makes one observation and then reaches an unsupported (and unsupportable) conclusion.

[Pyrokid55]

Ya, would someone please hunt down that video in security of that guy lobbing off the dudes head? Lifting his lancer above his head like an axe and chopping the guys head off? Then it will stop the bickering.. I agree with C Pressing B = chop hold B = Regular Chainsaw..

No it won't. Because your ASSUMING it's B. I've seen the head chop, but we don't see the button pressed - therefore your assuming what button does what. That could be the Y button execution for all you know.

[Pyrokid55]

Could be, but don't you think its going to be like hammerburst? Certain weapons need to have you do the 3 punches with Y, and since those are starter weapons I'd see them as being a few of them. It's a fast kill, so pressing B makes sense, just like with the shotgun, but I see where your coming from, I just think it has to be a little longer and the camera more focused on your kill to be a Y excecution, seeing as that's what it's for.. Anyways.

[Hooligunn]

There is my point highlighted above. You think, you don't know :) But I totally see where your coming from man, and you could well be right. I don't know any more than you do. I was just trying to make sure you didn't put it across as fact until we have the facts xD

[Pyrokid55]

Lol I know, what people say on here doesn't matter, most of it is speculations and ideas, doesn't mean truth, would be cool if they have a detailed chainsaw kill though lol, hammerburst could just be stick the gun to the back of the head and fire, and lancer could be like, do a windmill with the chainsaw cuttin off the head lol, axe chop is pretty funny to watch too, look at your teammate, all you see is the lancer go up, then down on their neck lol, will be fun to watch.

Edit: No what I think EPIC should do? Release Gears of War 2. lol, this will solve all problems and stop the clutter of everyone sitting on the Gears site and forums waiting for info.. I sit with the site on the computer no matter if I'm at the computer or not, or if I'm playing game or something, just to go back, press F5 and see if there's anything new.. Can't wait for this, November 7th couldn't come sooner.

[Antynos]

Boomer execution? Heh. The weapon is called the Boomshot. The Boomer is the huge, slow tank-like Locust that carries the weapon around with him.

-Marth

Have you ever even played gears of war online? Most people use this in CQC thus the chance is big you down thus its still possible to make an exeuction with it seeing. Besides that if you carry it you will still be able to if it doens thave its own execution to punch him. Thus think further then your small square.

Besides its just a thread about the executions and trying to make a final list and I assume that its Y because of the way the exeutions works. Camera all close up etc. You wouldnt put this in a quick execution look at the shotgun one: Camera doenst really get his own life.

[Pyrokid55]

Hm, be nice now. Marth has a point, it's more then likely going to not have one, just look, what can you do with it? I'd say if anything, when your outta ammo, the excecution is lift it above them and drop it on their head like an anvil lol, then you loose your gun and run around GUNLESS!!(or just take your shotty out)

[Antynos]

Well you could bludgeon one to death with it. Its heavy enough for it. Like whacking them in the face with it. I do not see a reason why this is not possible.

[Marth]

Hmm...I never said the Boomshot isn't going to have a specific execution. I just corrected you, because you call it the 'Boomer' when it's actually called 'Boomshot'.

That could be the Y button execution for all you know.

No. Watch the Day-1 Submission match video on GT. You'll see Carmine downing a Locust with the Lancer and then execute him by punching him. That is done using the Y button.

-Marth

[bowleyjake]

it would be cool to see a lancer execution where he turns the lancer 180 degrees and chainsaws them straight down the middle.THAT would be cool. :)

[Chainsaw Guardian]

That would be 90 degrees, but yeah, that would be kool.

[Imortalfalcon]

I saw the Lancer execution, I paused it a few times and from what I can see it looks like the X button. I'm not too sure but the button looked blue to me at the bottom of the screen, and the only blue button on the controller is X.

[iJeDiMinDTricKs]

I lol'd when I read Boomer does this and that, and then Marth's comment.. HAHA

It looked green and showed the meatflag sign. Also, I assume you have more choices than what is displayed. We know the downed opponent can be curbstomped, picked up, or quickly executed, and all 3 choices were not present, just the meatflag option that he did not perform.

[xXxGeArSxFrEaKxXx]

X=Curbstomp wiith any weapon
A=Meatflag with any weapon
B= A quick Execution (like a melee so thats probably what the chainsaw lobbing was)
Y= A more complicated and severe execution where it almost triggers a little cutscene

Yeah it probably was the A button, cause that meatshield icon pops up all the time. I do remember Cliff saying every button does something to your opponent. So your right, could be any one of them.

[Marth]

Not always. I have seen both the curb stomp and meatshield icons once. It's only in some videos, though such as the exclusive Gears 2 gameplay trailer in the UT3 disc.

I too remember seeing that, both icons at once. Now that puts a twist to the thread :D.

True. My only point is that in the sample video the meatflag option popped up but he still performed an execution, so the lack of other display options clearly didn't mean that the other buttons weren't available -- there just wasn't a visible icon for it.

[zachary6996]

Why did they take it out?
I think they removed it because the ESRB made them

[Hooligunn]

X=Curbstomp wiith any weapon
A=Meatflag with any weapon
B= A quick Execution (like a melee so thats probably what the chainsaw lobbing was)
Y= A more complicated and severe execution where it almost triggers a little cutscene

So what does the sniper rifle do when you hit the B button then hmm, if by your post the Y button does the long execution.

The fact is, there is too much conflicting info atm. So seriously, stop posting these lists of buttons when there has always been a massive debate on this forum to the final button layout.

[xXxGeArSxFrEaKxXx]

Okay the COG has the UFC punching,
but do you remember when cliff said that if you are a locust you rip the guys arm off and beat him with that?
that Idea was scrapped, but Cliff says they have another one for the Locust that is way better
(This is the Y exectuion with the Lancer)

You are mistaken friend, if they were doing UFC punching one would lay on top of their opponent all stupid like and punch every now and again while humping the guy to death, mostly humping though...

[Soft Serve]

I really really really hope they give the Lancer a melee. As in Hold for Chainsaw tap for punchy punch. And the arm ripping off idea reminds me of Mortal Kombat Armageddon. It's one of the fatalaties to rip off their arms and slap their heads off with them.

the decapatation in this vid is made by using the hammerburst as a club not chainsawin:D

So on behalf of the others I tell you this,

You are an evil person. . .
