Years ago, the Locust Horde gathered under every major city and launched a surprise attack. Untold numbers died on Emergence Day, and rather than allow the Locust to keep the spoils of their aggression, humans used chemical weapons and orbital particle beams to destroy them - and their own cities. With most urban centers and military installations rubble, survivors gathered on Jacinto Plateau, whose solid granite strata could not be easily penetrated. When the Horde breached the plateau's defenses, Marcus Fenix defied orders to save his father at East Barricade Academy - but he was too late. Charged with dereliction of duty, he has been sentenced to 40 years in Jacinto Maximum Security Penitentiary...
I didn't get it the first time and I still don't get it now. :/
Playing this on my friends Xbox left a sour taste in my mouth, even though I'm aware that there are new features in the PC version, I'm just not interested in the series.
The story confused me and the men were just hulking dudes in armor with no personalities (Although Marcus Fenix sounded exactly like Jake the Dog so that at least gave me a good chuckle), and the levels, while they were eye-catching and run-down, were depressing and rather dull.
My ultimate gripe with the game, besides it's over-use of gore, it was just too boring!
Much of the combat is done behind cover and running at enemies almost always ended with me getting killed.
The first game failed appease me, and while I can understand people like this sort of thing, It just doesn't reel me in :/
