My 2 Hour Session with Gears of War (Part 2) - Mansion
In this part, I've decided to take you into the multiplayer map we played. We played what the team called "Mansion". First off, this was a new level that was not played at E3.
The basis of Mansion, is that you are playing on a mansion. Simple. Yes, I know. The mansion appears to have been invaded and parts of the structure have been destroyed and demolished.
The level is very symetrical. Each team has an entrance to the Mansion. It will be on the right or left, depending on which of the 2 starting points you are at. Each team also has an entrance to the courtyard. The courtyard (after going up a flight of stairs) also has an entrance to the Mansion. This is the main entrance, and as you look in, you see the upstairs and the set of staircases leading up there.
The courtyard is filled with places to take cover. I have provided a rough, read rough, skematic for what the level looked like. Each top corner (top right and top left) were starting points, in which you alternated in the first to 5 sessions.
