Gears of War 2 Part 10. The dark side of grief. (Normal Campaign/Deleted Scene Blind)
2Part Synopsis: Finding a terminal, Jack manages to get a face match on Maria alongside a weird symbol. Convinced she's down here somewhere, Dom and Marcus start exploring the immediate area. Searching other units, none of them have the matching mark. After finding one, a small horde of Locust swarm them.
Upon fighting them off, a capsule is opened and Maria is found alive inside. Dom's relief is short lived as it becomes apparent she's hanging on by a thread and a fractured shell of her former self. Marcus leaves them be as a final moment is shared between them and Maria is put down. Regrouping, the two set out guns blazing. Going to the DLC and starting a Deleted Scene, it goes through an alternate route where the duo go in stealthily.
Donning Locust armor, they pass by numerous patrols to avoid confrontation. After being discovered, the two are dropped into a prison section. A friendly survivor named Franklin is rescued here. He joins up as the duo continue to go after the Locust Queen. Resistance is heavy the whole route. After breaking through, Franklin heads back to the surface alone.

About Game: Gears of War 2 is a third-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox 360. It is the second installment of the Gears of War series, with lead design by Cliff Bleszinski. The game was released in North America, Europe and Australia on November 7, 2008, and was released in Japan on July 30, 2009. The game expands technically on the previous game by using a modified Unreal Engine 3. The development team brought in comic book writer Joshua Ortega to help write the plot for the game.
In Gears of War 2, the COG continues its fight against the Locust, who are attempting to sink all of the cities on the planet Sera. Sergeant Marcus Fenix leads Delta Squad into the depths of the planet to try to stop the Locust during the assault upon Locust territory. The player controls Fenix in the main mission campaign, with the ability to play cooperatively with a second player controlling Fenix's best friend and fellow Squad member Dominic "Dom" Santiago. The game includes several existing and new multiplayer modes including five-on-five battles between human and Locust forces, and a "Horde" mode that challenges up to five players against waves of Locust forces with ever-increasing strength. New weapons and gameplay mechanics such as "chainsaw duels" and the ability to use downed foes as "meatshields" were added to the game.
On its release weekend, Gears of War 2 sold over two million copies, and within two months of release, had sold four million copies. It was the seventh best selling video game of 2009 and received several accolades. The game received similar praise as its predecessor, with the new gameplay and multiplayer modes seen as outstanding additions. Gears of War 2, along with its predecessor, is considered one of the best games ever made. It was followed by Gears of War 3 in 2011.
