• Story

  Gears of War 2 begins six months after the detonation of the Lightmass Bomb at the end of Gears of War. In addition to the destruction of most of the Locust Horde, the explosion caused much of the liquid Imulsion underground to vaporize, spreading "Rust Lung" among the remaining human population. To stop the fall of the Jacinto Plateau, one of the last remaining human strongholds, Marcus Fenix, Dominic Santiago and a new Delta Squad spearhead a counterattack against the enemy Locusts.
