No more shotgun host advantage in Gears of War 2

Gears of War 2 logo - Image 1 Gears of War 2 from Epic Games is inching closer and closer to completion. The game is looking awesome by all accounts, and some more good news has just come out. According to developer Cliffy B, the shotgun host advantage that plagued the first game’s multiplayer mode is now gone for good. See what else he had to say in the full story up next.

Marcus Fenix - Image 1 Epic Games stalwart  Cliff Bleszinski  has recently confirmed a major improvement in the multiplayer aspect of Gears of War 2. He says there will no longer be a host advantage with the shotgun which irked a lot of players in the original’s heyday.

In response to a Gamepro question on the shotgun advantage, Cliffy B. replied:

People loved it [multiplayer] but they didn’t like the host advantage. They got tired of the shotgun inconsistencies. We’re fixing all of that. They didn’t like the randomness of the chainsaw, so we put the chainsaw duel in — may the best man win!

There you have it. Looks like the playing field will be more level when this anticipated sequel arrives. We say cheers and bring on the flamethrowers!
