Rumor: Gears of War 2 Beta in the wild

Oh, April Fools. You silly tradition. From the interesting like the EA / GTA community site buyout, to today's crazy Beta joke. One of our tipsters sent us over an image of a "friend of a friend" getting invited to play an apparent Gears of War 2 Beta. While a Beta could be in the works even our tipster suggests the entire thing is a joke since any crafty modder could set up such a prank. Considering the poor quality of the image it could even be a Photoshop job, so we're calling this one busted. That is until CliffyB busts into our house like the Kool-Aid man swinging a Lancer and screaming "teh confirms!"
[Thanks, Bryan]

Ughhh Gears of War... I can only only hope the sequel has even beefier characters with even more gravelly voices, and even more homoerotic undertones...

Kool-Aid man references make any article 5 times better.

Uhm. I expected better of you X3F.
Make a lobby in any game. Go to create a new game invite. Click on it. Pick a gamertag. Edit the message to whatever you want it to say!
No modding or photoshop. Just knowing your Xbox more than most people.

Sigh... anyone can write a "message" in Live and take a picture of the TV. Not a tough thing to pull off.

Vision that's a cool trick but how do you explain the hideous pink background??? ;)

GOW2 lancer clash seems to be similar to the Halo 3 sword clash... I can't wait to see it though!

No Beta: A beta will stir a few minds.
Look at Halo 3.
