Will Gears of War 2 be longer then 1? If it is a disc space issue what is the big deal of putting it on more than one DVD.. why dont they do that as much anymore

I remember the old FF games were on 4 to 6 discs

It should be. I dont think they'll have problems with space.

I would think so.. it's gotta at least go into the story a little bit this time and actually tell why we are fighting the Locust in the first place and vice versa.

I could see it being just as long as the first. Reason being Gears had great pace. You rarely weren't in battle and if you weren't it wasn't for very long. Also, the sections were well done in diversity. Regular Locust in the start, Wretches, Seeders, a combination of the three, Beserker, Boomers, Drones again but hordes of them, Kryll, more Boomers, Lambient Wretches, Theron Guards and Setinels, Corpsers etc. etc. A very good pace of switching off enemies.

What I would like to see though, is a fight with a Brumak like in Gears of War PC and some kind of new enemy in addition to it. And fighting multiple Corpsers at once would be nice since one of those is too easy.

If they fit Oblivion on one disc then I don't want anything more than that!

I remember FF7 on a couple of CDs before i pawned them all for scrap plastic :D

I really hope it is, but that being said Gears 1 campaign is my favorite campaign of all time next to Halo: CE. I think it'd be really cool if you could play as Cole and Baird for some of the paths where they're separated from Marcus and Dom. That would add a lot of time to the campaign.

If they made it so the entire campaign and co-op were on one disc and then all the matchmaking on the second, that'd be better.

dude, the Orange Box has 5 games on 1 disc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gears 2 can be much longer on 1 disc, but Epic will have time constraints if they are going to release it in 2009.

BLAME the developers if it is short, not the DVD9 size.

They won't do it, Epic would never rush a game even if it was hyped as much as gears (eg. UT3)

Although they probibly will hire more people after the GOTY success of Gears Of War and get a few more programmers and artists to build a sequel on the already finished version.

Yeah, but Gears has a graphical advantage over HL. It requires more space to hold it.

It better be.

And I highly doubt they will have problems with the space. Look how long Oblivion was and how much there was to do in that game but thats all on 1 disc.

It will probably be just as long as the original Gears then nearly a year after it's release they will release the PC version with new "bonus" content.
