A few days ago Cliffy B from Epic games told us how in Gear of War 2 we’d be able to play a new mode, Horde. We learnt that in this new mode, up to five players would be able to fight wave after wave on enemies. Now more details of this new mode have emerged thanks to shacknews.com.
Essentialy, Horde is just survival mode, which we’ve seen in many games before GoW2. Players go through rounds fighting waves of enemies, with the enemies increasing with difficulty each time. Apparently the levels are quite small, and there is a much better variaty of enemies this time round, in contrast to what we saw in the first game.
During play, if a team mate is shot down, he can tap A to drag himself towards another memeber of the team, who can than revive him. If the player doesn’t get revived in time, that player must sit out untill the end of the round.
Reportedly, the gameplay found in Horde will reward teams that play tightly, making use of tactics instead of going in gung-ho like Rambo.
Play Horde mode yourself on November 7th when Gears of War 2 makes its way into gamers bedrooms everywhere. In the meantime, check out what else shacknews.com had to say here.
