Gears of War 2 eGuide Multiplayer Warfare Day One

Overview

The war with the Locust comes to a crossroads in the urban jungle of Day One. Here teams must fight it out amongst the carnage the Locust infestation has wrought on one of Sera’s grandest cities. Burned-out cars, a broken water main, and a massive crater serve as backdrop to the fighting yet to come. This once idyllic intersection, home to an arcade and theater, is now the territory of one of the largest Seeders to ever break the surface.

Teams take the battlefield on the northern and southern ends of this cross-shaped map. Each team has its own respective balcony to ascend to, one with a Longshot the other with a Hammer of Dawn. Those looking to forsake the two perches will find plenty of cover on the streets and inside the arcade on the ground. Pistols can be found on the corners perpendicular to the balconies, and there’s a Boomshield inside the arcade. There aren’t any grenades to pick up on the map, so each combatant should use his or her initial outlay carefully.
