Hey guys, I know some of you are thinking this doesn't deserve a Diary, but I wanted to make sure you guys know about this. I haven't been on the official Gears forums in awhile, so I thought, "Hell, I'll check up and see what's on there." since there's been some nice new details posted over there. Well, when I arrive I click on Gears of War 2, and what sits before my eyes are Thread after Thread of spoilers. I tried just skipping over them, but these spoiler threads are everywhere. They even put some in the freaking title of the thread to. So I'm here just trying to warn you guys who don't want to spoil anything (haven't and WILL NOT watch any videos posted after the Enemy VidDoc) to go to the official forums. For you own safety...

  •  Media Blackout (none / 0)

    The Media blackout has started on the first day the game has gone gold.

    I would like to say to anyone posting spoilers please clearly mark your Diary's.

    Do Not post spoilers in the comment section.

    Thank you everyone for your cooperation.

    Give me a minute and I'll change your mind, Give me a bullet and I'll change your life!

    •  We did this with several high-profile... (none / 0)

      games such as Bioshock, Halo 3, and COD 4.  This community is very mature and respects everyone's right to experience the game's story- unspoiled.  There won't be any spoilers posted at this community.  You can take that to the bank.  :)

      Gears is MY Star Wars!!! Wooohhh!!!

  •  Thanks (none / 0)

    for the heads up Grymm :)  I do not want any spoilers, that's for sure.  I'm kind of upset at myself for watching as many of the videos that I have so far.  I usually don't go to the forums anyways, so I will stay away for sure now :)

  •  Yeah, Flak & the other moderators there... (none / 0)

    have their job cut out for them. :(  She stickied a thread giving ample warning that anyone that posted spoilers would receive a warning & then ultimately banned if they did not cease posting.  It's ridiculously chaotic over at the official forums despite Six Okay's presence.  It's filled with trolls and spam.  There are several good posters there, but not enough to stop all of the mayhem.  What a freaking shame.  Thanks for the warning to the Gearheads, Grymmy!

  •  I saw a post (none / 0)

    That was full of spoilers. Apparently some guy got to play the campaign early and did an entire write up of every last bit of information in a thread and on his bio on xbox live. I never read the thread because it got closed but before the game went gold people were talking about it a lot. Be  careful guys.

    I'm gonna saw me up some of that sex locust.

  •  Thanks for the heads-up, Grymm! (none / 0)

    I might well have gone over there as, like you, I started to get a sense that there was some (non) spoiler info to be found.  Won't be going there until after I play the game.  

    "Gears2 has legs, and they go all the way up!"
