It's hard to believe that it has already been 2 years since we saw Gears of War at E3 2006, and it's even harder to believe that we're already seeing such a polished looking sequel only 2 years later. Following a slick looking trailer showing off the meat shield system, Clifford Bleszinski comes out on stage, and shows off a level of the co-op campaign.

The level shows Dom and Marcus making their way through a destroyed city, taking cover when needed, and chainsawing their way through the hordes of baddies. Even more impressive is the indication that we're going to be able to pilot some big mofos with our co-op buddy. We think, they ended it at that. New stuff looks good, tight, and even more "gray" than ever before.

I hate to say it but I'm one of the few people in the world to never have played the original "Gears of War" to completion. Played it here and there, but never sat down and really learned the intricacies of it. If the new gameplay footage is any indication to what the full product will look like, I'll be securing myself a copy to get caught up.
