I've just been told about this short but very nice video of Gears of War in multiplayer mode. It doesn't show much, but it's enough to get really excited about this game, again. And according to the sound in the room, it looks like the lucky ones playing are really having fun too.

wait no cover behind the wall?
I didnt see any. Either they didnt do it or you cant do it. If you cant, then this game sucks so freaking hard, like GRAW. They took out back-on-wall option on GRAW mutli but on on single. I hope GOW isnt like that.

this game is awesome, thx for the MP video, cant wait to buy it. A awesome feature would be a MP demo for online on marketplace that would be awesome. That way we get a sense of feeling how the gameplay is and the MP and justa taste of how it can be like in the end of the final product. Kind of like Battlefield 2 MC, but hell of alot better.

That looks surprisingly fast paced.

Those guys are rubbish though, they didn't give a damn about cover, it was just all about the chainsaw for them.

hehe looked pretty ace, looking forward to playing as the locust =))

lol that looks klass and since this game is all about getting cover and also the fact that like in the game there was no aiming cursor to be seen. Then im guessing you still should take cover so that you actual get an aiming cursor.

You could tell that the various press types in the room were simply maneuvering throughout the environments, just to get a chance to rip through a foe with the chainsaw (executed by holding the B button).

Much like the single-player campaign, it seems that lone rangers won’t get too far in the multiplayer portion of Gears; at least in the Versus mode. Those teams that stick together, live together – simple as that. Bounding and maneuvering tactics should play a vital role in the team-based multiplayer modes.

Just clearing up what Bjongers said, there will be cover in multiplayer. I also doubt much will be removed from mutliplayer, seeing as the maximum amount of players at the moment is 8.

I wonder if they have different weapon sets. Like a locust uses certain weapons and a Human uses another.

the guy yelling press "X X X X" is actually Cliffy B, creator of the game.

While the dead player is waiting to respawn his character is still groaning and dying slowly, pressing X will stomp on their head and finish them off.
