Multiplayer details from Eurogamer.net
'Gears of War 2 will feature online battles for two teams of five, with plenty of fresh modes, weapons, moves and more fancy additions to mix things up.'
'Meatflag is the last of the additional modes. You have to capture a computer-controlled character and take it back to your base like a living flag. It sounds as if it's some sort of berserker that romps around the map killing anyone that gets close, so to drag it home you will need to down it and then pick it up as a meatshield - that new ability activated by pressing A when they're on their knees in front of you.
Once you have hold of a meatshield you will be limited to a pistol and move at a much slower pace than normal and, if the other team can shoot your flag-hostage-thing enough, then it will go berserk and start battering any close at hand.
Incidentally, in more regular multiplayer bouts you can snap your meatshield's neck to dispose of it, or simply wait until it absorbs enough bullets and perishes. There's also another new finishing move that is linked to the Y button; once pressed it has you flip over your downed opponent and pummel their face until death, which sounds rather lengthy. Curb stomping and weapon butt-hitting return as finishers, too.'
