You might be a little disappointed to hear that the four player co-op is sill undecided (there will be a co-op mode, just don't know about the four players) but here is some news about GoW 2 that might cheer you up. There will be bigger and better gameplay: new characters, more weapons, nastier enemies, bigger vehicles, and some very gory chainsaw duels. Also, because of the advancements in Unreal Engine 3, the visuals of GoW 2 will look awesome, expect a lot of blood and gore especially with the additional blood and bullet decals and advanced destructible environments. There will also be new weather effects and we will see fluid objects in this game as well! Take a look at the four new screenshots of GoW 2.
