Was chatting to Scupper when I watched it. His words were "We got to own that game. Hopefully Polarbert will have got a job by then and we can kick his arse".

So by now there’s a slight chance you’ve heard something about a little game called Gears of War® 2. Well, the secret is out: Marcus Fenix returns in November 2008, and things just got a lot more interesting. Gears 2 is under development at Epic Games, the studio that created the original blockbuster, and they are hell-bent on bringing a bigger, badder, and even more intense experience to your Xbox 360® this holiday.

The first Gears of War was a technical masterpiece that introduced gamers, in glorious and gory detail, to the full potential of high-definition visuals. By utilizing the technological advances built into the Unreal® Engine 3, Gears 2 is primed to raise the bar yet again. Do you think you know all about "Destroyed Beauty?" Just wait.

Gears of War 2 will continue the saga of Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad as they fight to save humanity from the overwhelming onslaught of the Locust Horde, and will mix the series’ trademark tactical action gameplay with an epic story of survival, loss, and retribution—and killing Locust. Lots and lots of Locust. So whatever assumptions you’ve made, forget ‘em. Whatever your expectations are, raise ‘em, because Gears of War 2 is coming. November 2008 is right around the corner, and it’s going to be one hell of a ride.

GOW was the first game i ever wanted to play and was totally blown away by it the only very slightly disappointing aspect of the first game is only having small teams online hopefully as with COD they could open up the severs to allow a few more players and a few extra weapons,one of the best bits is you're able to hide and peer round the object which is what COD4 should have had.
Epic will have to go a long way to improve an already polished game offline if its gonna be anywhere as good then the wait will be worthwhile
