Gears 2 Double XP Weekend Brings a Flood of Tickers

Gears of War 2 celebrates the Fourth of July holiday with an explosive Double XP Weekend! Starting Friday, July 3, and running through the weekend, Gearheads can expect double XP in all game types, as well as bonus XP for those teams emerging victorious from battle. And if you’re in the mood for fireworks, be sure to check out the special all-Ticker rounds in every tenth wave of Horde!

No LAN multiplayer in SC2. The Beta will last 4-6 months and it will be sent out in waves.

Starcraft 2 will feature Star Edit 2. My plan is to recreate the gameplay from Starcraft. New music will be silenced and replaced with the original music. All units produced will match the original . Big Game Hunters was the most popular Battle Net multiplayer map and it will be recreated as closely as possible with large mineral and gas resources.

Samurai Showdown: Edge Of Destiny, known as Samurai Spirits: Flash in Japan.



Thirteen original characters from the series come back in 3D along with eleven new ones. Due in the US Fall 2009.

I think it will be hard for Blizzard to top the original music from Starcraft 1. I wonder if I will want a mod to put the Starcraft music into SC 2.
