Gears 2 screens emerge.....with flamethrowers

More Gears of War 2 screens have emerged today, this time showing off some new Multiplayer maps and areas as well as some new weapons.
In the shots (which come in all sorts of sizes) you can clearly see the napalm weapon alongside a new riot shield, which could turn cover standoffs in Gears 2 well and truly on their head.

The player count for multiplayer games has been upped from eight to ten, with five-on-five gameplay options.

New modes include Wingman, which sees ten players face off in teams of two, and Epic's own take on CTF, 'Meatflag', where the flag is a (presumably CPU-controlled) character who runs around the map trying to defend himself. Sounds good.
The prospect of Flame-throwers in Gears 2 must have avid Gears fans foaming at the mouth, even though im completely useless online i'm already looking forward to it.
