They include Chairman Prescott, the noble, yet near-dictatorial military leader of COG Tai Kaliso, “a spiritual and meditative warrior from a tradition of honor bound fighters ” and Dizzy Wallin, a former Stranded who joined the COG to keep his family safe. Lead designer Cliff Bleszinski confirmed that the character Carmine would be returning, but did not reveal how or in what capacity as Carmine was killed in the original Gears of War. It was later revealed that the original Anthony Carmine would not be present in the Gears of War 2 campaign, but rather his brother, Benjamin, would make an appearance. The game also introduces several new characters. Also returning in supporting roles are radio dispatcher Anya Stroud and senior officer Colonel Hoffman. Returning characters includes the main protagonists of the series Marcus Fenix and Dominic (Dom) Santiago and others from the first game, including Marcus and Dom’s fellow Delta Squad COG soldiers, Augustus ‘Cole Train’ Cole and Damon Baird. To stop the fall of Jacinto, the COG responds with a large-scale counter-offensive against the Locust. Senior Producer Rod Fergusson says “In order to save Jacinto, have no choice but to take the war to the Locust.”
After months of peace, the cities of Tollen and Montevado suddenly and mysteriously disappear underground, leading the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) to suspect the resurgence of the Locust. Soon after, the once impenetrable Jacinto, one of the last remaining safe havens for humans, begins to show signs that the same fate awaits it. Though most of the underground army of the Locust Horde was destroyed, the explosion also caused much of the liquid Imulsion underground to vaporize, causing a fatal disease called Rustlung to spread among the diminished human population.
Gears of War 2 takes place six months after the detonation of the Lightmass Bomb at the end of the first game.
