Bright-eyed and excited as usual, Cliff Bleszinski discussed everything from the storyline, themes, characters, and gameplay mechanics of Gears of War 2 in this new interview from Gametrailers.com.

First Bleszinski explains that the Locust have returned, and are back with a vengeance, so you’ll be up against similar foes as in the last installment. He then explains that the game is going to focus on a theme of “intimate violence,” which will play into the more central role of the chainsaw. For one there are now Chainsaw duels, which “are a simple b-button mash.” There are also more weapon-specific executions.

Perhaps the best news concerns the multiplayer: Gears 2 will ship with more maps than the original, will have more multiplayer modes, and can accommodate five vs five battles.

Overall, Bleszinski wanted to hammer home the messages that Gears 2 will be “bigger and more badass,” will have a deeper storyline, and will feature “buckets and buckets of blood.”

You’ll be able to chainsaw enemies “from their taint to their throat” on November 30th.

      But how much more brown will it have? Will they increase the bloom?

      I loved the textures and design of the first one, but it was a bit repetitive as far as scenery goes. So perhaps getting out of the city and into a duel is a very good thing.
