Storyline
The Gears of War 2 storyline takes of after the first Gears of War game, six months after the Lightmass bomb has detonated. The COG (Coalition of Ordered Governments) members are losing people by the day through Locust raids. The Delta Squad then decide to counter attack by sending troops underground to the Locust bases using Grindlifts (a caged two seated machine that digs underground). After the decent the troops (Marcus Fenix, Dom Santiago, Damon Baird and Banjamin Carmine) begin to search around they battle their way through locusts and discover their longlost teammate Tai Kaliso. Tai has undergone some pretty rough torture woth scratch marks all over his chest and face and when Marcus gives him a gun he reloads the gun and points it at the bottom of his chin; he then fires killing himself just as Marcus realises what is going to happen and tries to stop him. The Delta Squad then continues up the hollow and discover a massive riftworm has been digging holes underground destroying complete towns in the process. They follow the riftworm which has dug a hole to the surface in the town of Jacinto. In Jacinto they head down the path of distruction and end up in a half destroyed house. In the house the Delta Squad are ambushed by Locusts on the second floor in a full 360 degrees around them. Marcus sends a distress signal to all available teams. Augustus Cole a team leader who has lost two teams already in the one game picks up the distress call and saves their bacon. After that Cole joins Marcus' team to fight the Locusts. After the chatting about all that has happened the Delta Squad hop into a helicopter and try to evacuate but Carmine without a seat falls out of the helicopter and into the waiting riftworm which swallows him whole. The Delta Squad team then decide they have to put an end to the riftworm to have any possibility of killing of the Locusts. The Delta Squad jump out of the helicopter and into the Riftworms mouth. Inside the Riftworm the team find Carmine getting attacked by small looking creatures presumably Locusts. The Delta Squad destroy the creatures to find Carmine almost cut in half and Acid all over him. The team say their final words to him and he dies in the arms of Marcus. After this the team continue on dodging through all the body organs and through to the heart. After destroying the heart the team think is is all over..... until they hear another heartbeat. It turns out the Riftworm has three hearts. After the Delta Squad kill all three of the hearts the creature topples over dead. The Delta Squad exit the creature after Marcus cuts a hole in the side of the creature using the chainsaw and the team topple out with a mass of blood with them. The Delta Squad slip over a couple of times before getting a call to go to an abandoned COG outpost. During the drive Marcus damages the vehicle. When the Delta Squad arrive Baird and Cole stay back to fix the vehicle while Marcus and Dom go inside the abandoned warehouse. Once inside Marcus and Dom almost immediatly realise the warehouse isn't abandoned when attacked by Wretches. Once defeated Marcus and Dom continue to a security door that needs a verification. They then go back to Baird and Cole and get a bomb. They blow up the door and continue through, whilst in the warehouse there are TV screens everywhere with a man who seems to have an actual mind and not be a computer voice. The building now definatly not abandoned has been fitted with security around every corner. Once finaly around this Marcus and Dom find a experimant room with an unknown species of Locusts. Marcus accidently powers them back to life whilst turning of the annoying man. Once brought back the superhuman powered creatures break out of the test tube and attack Marcus and Dom. They both run to the other side of a door and lock it sealing the creatures from getting to them. In the room they play a video recording showing Marcus' dead dad talking. He tells Dom and Marcus about a back door entrance into the Locust stronghold. The Delta Squad then travel their and end up driving through a tunnel and killing 3 Corpsers. The team then find Single Player Campaign:

The single player campaign is set up into 6 acts. Each act has 6-7 levels in it each packed with locusts around every corner
