Oh no doubt I’m gonna play this game like crazy, don’t have an actual estimate but it’s gonna be a lot. The first Gears was incredible. And I’m gonna download depending on the cost of the maps, but I’m considering it.

I would probably get in a solid 2-3 hours a day until I get through the single player mode, probably taper off a bit until my friends get themselves a copy. After that I’ll probably pick up the maps a few weeks after they come out to make sure they work as advertised.

I will have to juggle the game with all the other stellar releases coming out around the same time, but I would guess around 10 Hours. I would download the maps if they are free, if not I would try to master the existing ones. Arigatoo!

Hmm, factoring in that I probably can’t call in sick everyday for the first two weeks, I would say that I will spend at least 40 hrs - 45 hrs playing Gears of War 2 upon its arrival. And yes, I will download the maps.

I plan on taking three days off in a row from work, even though one coworker will be in Indonesia and another will be out on maternity leave which will only leave one person in the office to answer phones, troubleshoot problems, and work by themselves. It sounds cold and thoughtless, but hey, I’ve got to work Christmas time.
As far as me downloading the maps…you better believe it. Any downloadable content that’s good is downloaded immediately.
