Go to http://gearsofwar.xbox.com/WebStats/default.htm and you should be able to view your stats, pictures,and all the other GOW2 information similar to how Halo 3 set up its stats online.
However the site currently seems very slow. The quality of the pics looks much better on an HDTV then it does on the site. I also think the stats are for public games only.

Total Kills: 4,600 / 100,000

My current public Overview stats
kill death ratio: 4.72
Most kills: Snub pistol

11/18/08 Here are 16 more screenshots from the game. Almost all of them are decapitations or have gore. :)

Wow... really looking forward to this game! 👍

Loved how he held one of the locusts as hostage and then snapped his neck.
 
This is should be interesting...hope the sequel can freak the hell outta me like the first one did
 
Jesus, did you see how many Locust soldiers came up!? This game is going to be intense!
I am pretty sure we wont actually be able to fight that many at once. If you watch the video again you can see they are basically part of the backround and you cant fight all of them. I really hope we can but I am pretty sure we cant. Quite misleading.
 
Cliffy B. has just announced that were will be a new mode called Horde, in which 5 players will be able to co-op & kill as many as Locusts as possible. :drool:
 
I thought this thread was on the top with filled pages. I guess not.

This game is very good. I just finish the story mode and it's definitely good. I should try the multiplayer mode soon and especially Horde(which I heard this mode everywhere). Overall, this is a must-buy game for everyone.
 
This game consumed us since the thursday night midnight launch. I am surprised there are not more replies in here.
Yes GOW2 is way way better than the first one. The story gets really good toward the end and holy crap the last level is just so awesome.
Also beat level 50 of horde. I like how you can put bots in for the multiplayer because I really suck playing against real people in this game. The only online modes I enjoy are respawing modes like Annex and King of the Hill. The capture the meat shield mode is also a blast.
So the horde mode and the ability to play against bots and a really good campaign will keep me busy with this game for a while. I would like to eventually get the Seriously 2.0 achievement but thats going to be a lot of work. I think after an entire weekend of playing I have around 2,800 kills toward 100,000. Long way to go. Great game for sure. Graphics are easily the best I have seen in any game.
 
Yeah it's good fun. The campaign is waaay more action packed than the first one, and a few of the levels are really cool.

I still have the multiplayer though. The hit detection with the shotgun is still hideous on a connection even slightly laggy (not so bad with other weapons, but still there), and it's still a rush to the best weapons so you can do well. It's not my type of gameplay at all, and what exactly made me stop playing the first one.
 
My only dislike of the online is the time it takes to connect. I spent nearly 15 minutes trying to play Horde mode today. Wth.

Oh yeah, and that.

Horde is very fun though. Better with friends you know though, since teamwork is a must. And good players too.

I also dont care for the multiplayer especially the modes where I cant respawn. So I play the private games and put bots in. Mainly Annex and other respawning modes. Then I can pick my own gametype, own maps, set bot difficulty, and it also allows friends to take over a bot at any time. The Horde is very very fun online and its where I spent most of my time. The last few levels of the campaign are very impressive. Several jaw dropping moments for sure toward the end of the game.
Yes the public matchmaking is currently not working very well at all so I play private matches. Getting to level 50 in horde was very rewarding.
 
But locally you can restart waves you have failed on horde right? Online you can't - if you fail you have to start at wave 1 again.

I guess I'll have to do it that way sometime...

Yes in private matches you can start at any wave you want. I didnt realize that the public matches made you start over. That would suck especially if something as simple as an online disconnect happened. Glad they have the private matches.
 
Sounds like T-hunt on RSV2...
Yes thats basically what the Horde mode is but much much harder and much more intelligent AI. Starts at wave 1 goes to wave 50 and each wave is more difficult.
 
I have to try Wave 50 then when I get into a Private Match. The only weird thing after a wave is once you hit like "x1" or "x2", it's not really difficult until the Wave reaches "x4". I've lasted til' Wave 30 today, but that was it.

I do hope Epic throws in some updates & maps big enough so the Locust can throw nearly anything they want at you besides maybe a Brumak or a Corpser. Fighting a few Reavers would be a treat alongside the Grinders, Flamers, & Boomers. :dopey:

I was thinking the same thing. Imagine a couple brumac battles at the end of a wave with only the ammo on the map. That would be crazy. I am still very happy with horde and there are 4 or 5 difficulties to pick from so if it ever seems to easy you can just increase the difficulty. 👍
