Gears Of War 2: Gears 2 Will Indeed Feature Chainsaw-To-Chainsaw Battles

I never thought I'd be posting the "Gears of War 2" trailer again so soon, but looks like I have to, since I learned something new and cool about the game.

Those of you who have watched it already know that about halfway through, the two overmuscled 'roid poppers on-screen put their chainsaw guns together and start pushing back and forth. I was talking to two people last night who are close enough to the development team at Epic to know and they confirmed for me that this will be a mechanic in the game: When somebody tries to chainsaw you, there will be a way to push back with your own chainsaw gun and potentially fend them off or, possibly, end up chopping them into a bloody pile of flesh chunks.

I can't imagine Jack Thompson will be thrilled, but I'm already psyched. Here's the trailer again for those who haven't seen it:
