Character:
The main character in Gears of War 2 is Sergeant Marcus Fenix, a COG (Coalition of Ordered Governments) member and leader of Delta Squad.

Story:
COG is a all human alliance defending themselves from the Locust Horde who tries to sink every city on the planet to make an evolved race of the Locus called lament extinct, which would end up making humankind extinct also. To stop this from happening Delta squad must singlehandedly kill the gaint worm that the Locusts are using to destroy the cities. The Locus is still a threat to the humans though so they must go underground and find the Queen of the Locus's and kill her. Then they would slowly eradicate and no longer be a threat to the humans.

Resources:
The resources that the player must watch out for in the game is their ammunition and their health. Their health is not shown on the HUD like other games but when the character takes extreme damage a red COG symbol shows up on the screen.

Challange:
The campaign has three difficulties, Casual, Hardcore, and Insane. Parts of the game are more difficult then others, for example the player has to fight a newer type of Locust that has a double chainsaw weapon and they have to fight them with a chainsaw gun. There is also a mode called Horde which the player has to fight off as many waves of Locust as possible by themselves or with friends on Xbox Live.
