Sadly, Epic confirmed that a theatre mode in Gears of War 2 is non-existent due to time constraints in a past interview (although I'm still hoping it isn't true). However, it's completely possible through an update to the game, which is what I'm hoping for. Although I don't want this game to be "exactly" like Halo 3, this is one feature I just loved to use. Party up with a few friends and watch a match you just played - whether to see how you dominated, or to learn the tactics of the opposing team.
Additionally, the screenshot feature is already quite feature-filled, but only lacks the video component. You can zoom around and see all the action already - all Epic needs to do is find a way to save all the data in a match and make it replayable from the HDD.
Would you like to see this feature implemented in Gears of War 2? What do you think the probability is that it can be added via downloadable content (update)?

Should Epic Games Add a THEATRE Mode Post-Release?
First I want them to fix the fuckin lag. But yeah, the theatre mode was one of my favorite things about halo 3 and it would be good to have it in gears.
Why? Who wants to watch vids instead of play whenever I saw someone in theater mode in Halo 3 I usually just laughed
Whenever I saw someone in theater in Halo I just assumed wow what a MLG loser. So no they have also said that it would take time out of stuff like new maps .
It would be a pretty cool feature as an add on but if they decided to add it last minutes I would be disappointed.
"I know, that's why I said post-release, meaning after the game is already shipped. It wouldn't be that much extra work; the party system is already there, the awesome new screenshot thing is also (ability to pan around during live action). All they really need to do is save all the data to the HDD to be replayed at a later time.rod feguson said in an interview, ".....you wanna play the game this year right? so its not gonna happen
"
I'm sure it won't happen, but it'll be nice to have in the cases where you headshot an entire team ... or you manage to win a 1 vs. 5 ranked match.
