Cliffy B refuses to be drawn on 4-way Gears 2 co-op

Says Epic will probably announce more on the game's co-op play at E3.

Speaking to Shacknews at Microsoft's Spring Showcase, Epic Games game designer Cliffy B has refused to rule out or confirm four-player cooperative play in Gears of War 2.

"We're not announcing anything about co-op at this time, we'll probably get around to it around E3 time, but rest assured, it will be bigger and better," explained Bleszinski.

"The multiplayer is incredibly robust," he continued. "We're not saying too much about it right now due to embargoes and whatnot, but lots of multiplayer maps, lots of modes. We'll have the multiplayer functionality that gamers have come to expect this day and age."

Multiplayer has been a major draw for fans of Gears of War and we're expecting very big things for the sequel. E3 can't come soon enough.

Gears of War 2 is scheduled for release in November, exclusively for Xbox 360.
