Such as Wingman... I wan't to know the name of this playlists in other games... Like 'Team Deathmatch' or 'Free for all'...

Wingman
This was one of the more popular modes amongst the press.

Wingman takes five two-player teams and pits them against each other in a no-respawn, execution-only free-for-all. Each team earns one point per kill, and a bonus point for winning the round. The first team to a total of 15 points wins the match. Obviously the best teams were the ones that stayed together, working as a cooperative unit.

For the most part this was a very successful mode, but I did encounter one quirk. As each round was whittled down to two or three players, if one survivor chose to wait in ambush--also known as becoming a "camping bastard"--the rounds could stretch on for quite a while. Eight players waiting for two campers to kill each other can get pretty old.

Regardless, it was a pretty solid mode, and should make for a nice way to cap off a single-player co-op session.

Guardian
At the start of each round of Guardian, one member of each of the two teams is chosen as the leader. Respawns are unlimited as long as the leader survives. The second he's killed, you're playing for keeps. Opposing and friendly leaders can be tracked via a directional marker on your HUD. It's basically a modified version of Assassination from Gears 1.


The trick to playing as the leader is to know when to run. Because you can be easily tracked on the HUD, you'll have to maintain a sharp sense of situational awareness. Often the map will determine how mobile you'll need to be.

For instance, the new map "Hail" consists of a train yard and surrounding buildings, providing plenty of empty cars and warehouses for leaders to hide in. Of course, if cornered, the train car can also become a death trap, with a single grenade wiping you out.

Guardian requires a leader with good instincts to function properly, and works very well under the best circumstances. Stupid leaders, however, may prove to be the mode's occasional downfall.

King of the Hill
First seen in the Gears of War PC port, King of the Hill is a rather self-explanatory gametype. The objective here is to take control of a single location on the map, designated by a glowing circle. The longer a team holds the circle, the more points it accrues.

To ensure a flow that doesn't see one team dominating the ring 100% of the time, the team that controls the ring is not able to respawn until the point switches hands.

The great thing about this mode is that it replicates the Alamo-style last-stand moments of the single-player component. Making a defensive stand behind cover is what Gears is all about, and King of the Hill exploits it well.

Horde
In the interest of thoroughness, I'm going to first quote Microsoft on the full details of Horde mode before providing my impressions:

Horde is a new co-op mode that is playable on every Multiplayer map in the game. In this mode, up to 5 players can take on wave after wave of increasingly difficult Locust. The goal is to complete wave 50. Once a wave has been unlocked in any match type (public, private, system link, or local), players can restart from that wave in private, system link or local games. Public games always start from Wave 1.
The objective in Horde is to attain the highest score possible. Think of Horde as an arcade game experience where you're always trying to get to the next level. In Horde, players work together as a team, and the score is always a team score, not an individual score. A team succeeds (or fails!) together. At the minimum, at least one player from the five player team must be alive when a given wave ends. At that point, all dead teammates revive and the next wave starts.
There is a separate leaderboard score for each multiplayer map, so high scores are set on a per map basis, not for Horde overall.
In private games, players have the ability to select the difficulty for Horde, which ranges from Casual to Insane. In public games the difficulty is set to Normal.
Downed But Not Out teammates can be revived a certain number of times, based on the difficulty setting.
Once players are dead, they can still talk to their teammates and help them with the remaining enemies by providing directions.
As players progress through Horde, they will find that the "Horde grows stronger." Horde consists of 50 waves, which are broken up into 5 sets of 10. After each set of 10 waves, the Horde grows stronger. For waves 11-20 they have double health. For waves 21-30, they also gain double accuracy. For waves 31-40, they also gain double damage. For the final set, waves 41-50, the Locust have 2.5 times the health, accuracy and damage they had when the players started. A challenge indeed!
Horde mode sounds good on paper, and as I mentioned in my E3 preview, it plays brilliantly--a mix of classic comp-stomping and modern online co-op.

Important to highlight is the fact that players can restart from any wave they have previously unlocked. Rounds of Horde can run in the multiple-hour length, so t
