Gears of War 2 is a third-person shooter built around tactical use of cover. Players fight through a campaign as a soldier of the Coalition of Ordered Governments, carrying a limited loadout of weapons and using cover, melee attacks, and the series' chainsaw bayonet against enemy forces. It supports cooperative campaign play and a range of competitive multiplayer modes, and introduces Horde mode, in which up to five players survive escalating waves of enemies together.

What is Gears of War 2 about?

Set on the planet Sera some months after the previous game, the war between humanity and the underground Locust Horde reignites when Locust forces begin sinking entire cities. With the last major human stronghold under threat, the Coalition of Ordered Governments launches a large offensive to take the fight into the depths of the planet. Sergeant Marcus Fenix leads Delta Squad underground to strike at the Locust directly, while his comrade Dom Santiago continues a personal search for his missing wife.

Should I stream Gears of War 2 on Twitch?

4/100 · Closed off· 2 viewers per streamer on paper

Not really. Almost all of the 12 people watching Gears of War 2 in English are already committed to the streams they are on, leaving about 4 across 6 other English streams. You would start around #1 of 10.

About 4 of the 12 English viewers here are not watching the two biggest English streams — roughly 1 each if you split it with the 6 other English streams below them. With ten viewers you would sit at #1.

Only 12 of the 14 viewers here (86%) are watching in English. 8 of the 9 live streams are in English.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.
