Gears 2 Viral Marketing points to Nov. 9th!!!

Posted on Tue Jul 08, 2008 at 05:29:45 PM EST

The current teaser on the official Epic Gears of War site has what we presume to be Marcus Fenix holding several COG tags in his hand ('For the Fallen').  With those COG tags is a dog tag that has an inscription on it.  If you match those series of numbers to an ASCII table it spells out "ESC N O V 9"!!!  Could this be the date for Re-Emergence Day?!?  Now Nov. 9th falls on a Sunday, but remember that Epic did something similar for Emergence Day in '06 because that insured that everyone had the game from the big box stores in their hands for the official launch of Gears 1.  The actual retail date could actually fall on Tues., Nov. 4th!  Big props to o Dienasty, Dark Infinity, & xbox360fanboy.com for being the first to drop this info!

awesome!

I would be sooo happy if Gears 2 came out in early Nov. . The anticipation grows!

by RoBBins0096 on Tue Jul 08, 2008 at 11:33:05 PM EST


Sweet!

I was kinda worried that i would have to wait until the END of Nov to play Gears 2.  But now, it doesnt look like i will have to!
