Did anyone else get chills down their spine while watching the "rendezvous" trailer
Gears of War 2
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Nov 07, 2008
Join Delta Squad once more in the fight against the Locust Horde, in this "bigger, better and more badass" sequel to the 2006 smash hit.
Greatest trailer ever?
Yes I did for sure. It was my theme at gamespot. Heres the poem from the trailer (not the full version)
At some disputed barricade
It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath
I have a rendezvous with Death
And I to my pledged word am true
I shall not fail that Rendezvous
not bad, its in the same vain as the mad world one. But i dont know why he dragged the body all that way seemed like there was others he could have used.
The voice clip is awesome, and the part where the Locust turns its mini-gun was very cool. Still, it didn't have the same impact on me as the trailer for Gears of War 1.

I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air-
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.
It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath-
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.
God knows 'twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear...
But I've a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.
"Does anyone know if can actually use the locus a shields? because if you can thats so dope."
yes, you can use them as meat shields
I liked it, but i thought the mad world one was better
however, this one is more related to the actual feel of the game
Trailer was really awesome. Sent chills down my spine. Mad World still was better, but Marcus running with the Locus, with the drums beating. Awesome.
