Ripping humans apart in Gears of War multiplayer

The slow-music “Mad World” cinematic trailer was nice, wasn’t it? Okay, slow time’s over, let’s get back to blood-spilling, gut-tearing, and general Mature mayhem! (Warning: some materials inappropriate for children). Welcome to two GameTrailers multiplayer gameplay clips from Epic Games‘ Gears of War, featuring the agency that will be the cause of humanity’s demise, the Locust Horde.

No, not those spindly six-legged crop-eating plagues of Egypt and other ancient agrarian societies. Huge, muscle-bound, surprisingly agile gun-toting melon-busting Locusts. If they were a plague of Egypt, the Red Sea would really be red – with blood.

You also get to see some of the duck-and-cover moves both the humans and Locusts can pull off. Backs against walls, shooting around cover, rolling across an open gap, all with handy pop-up overlay graphics to show you what you’ll do when you press “this” button. I’m not really a fan of FPS titles, but even I have to admit that blowing some guy’s torso apart with a shotgun and kicking the dismembered parts aside in Multiplayer Gameplay #5, 00:57-01:01 was sick to the core. In a good way.

Oh, and Happy Halloween! May the ghouls who haunt your homes tonight ask for candy and not the extermination of humanity.

Check the other video out at the full article! More blood! More!
