GoW2 multiplayer video and screens incoming! [update]

by Dustin Burg { Jun 25th 2008 at 3:00AM }

Update: We've got goods here and here.

Listen up and and stay focused fellow friends, because today is the day we've been waiting for ever since Gears of War 2's video debut on May 10th. Today, we're told that Microsoft has promised to release brand new Gears 2 screenshots and concept art depicting both campaign and multiplayer goodies. Not only that, but EGM's long promised GoW2 multiplayer footage is set to make its debut today as well, showcasing new multiplayer modes, new weapons and enough blood and guts to fill two five gallon pails. Microsoft should be releasing the Gears 2 screenshots today at 12:00PM noon eastern (9:00AM pacific) when we also expect EGM to release their exclusive video (media embargoes FTW!).

Now, get excited kids, because we're in for a bloody Wednesday full of enough GoW2 chainsawdomy imagery to keep you satisfied until November. Oh yeah, we totally went there.

[Thanks, Randall Washington (B1gg Randall)]

Please can you give credit to Marth from Epic Gears of War Forums to cause he posted and I just submit it here thanks....

Yeah props to Marth, saw him post up before X3F. However, I don't think they posted this from a tipoff since it gives credit to no-one.

X3F barely check their tipoffs lately it seems. They've missed some pretty big news I've sent in without ever posting it even when I have reliable source websites (ie. IGN ect...) to back it up.

Unfortunate that, you used to tip them off and the news would be up an hour later!

Hooligunn @ Jun 25th 2008 7:23AM

Ignore that. You did get thanked. Skimmed over it so quick I missed it :)

Hala Madrid!! (Madrileno hasta la muerte!) @ Jun 25th 2008 12:20PM

The video is now live at EGM http://www.gamevideos.com/video/id/19602

That's awesome.

Online is what really Gears 1 was about, I hope they improve it with Gears 2. Not much to improve, but new features would be nice.

Phil @ Jun 25th 2008 3:28AM

YOU BROKE THE NDA!!! WHY ARE YOU DOING YOUR JOB!

On another note, can't wait for this. I hope this multiplayer footage isn't a let down

Maverick Saturn @ Jun 25th 2008 5:32AM

Yay! It is the day of all days, heard so much about it, and now its time to finally see it.

PlayHarder @ Jun 25th 2008 7:50AM

hope I can watch it at work

Jayslacks @ Jun 25th 2008 8:46AM

Is there anyway you guys can post the MP3 of Dustin's gears intro whenever he does a Gears post? Cause, you know, its awesome.

joey @ Jun 25th 2008 10:29AM

Yeah, can you change it from "weekly" to "daily" now?

Jayslacks @ Jun 25th 2008 8:47AM

Can we hear that Gears-INtro of Dustin's when he post gears News?

BONERRRRRRR!!!!

That friends, is what I'm sporting in my pantaloons right this moment.

This aught to make my monotonous job go a tad bit faster today. I'll tell ya, being a nuclear engineer is boring as all get out. I can't wait for noon o'clock, so I can read small morsels of information about this game and have the wait for November be THAT MUCH longer because of it.

Vcize @ Jun 25th 2008 9:56AM

Faster? This is going to make this short stint from 10am to noon seem like forever in anticipation. And I probably won't be able to view it at work so I'll probably have to wait all day :\

Rick @ Jun 25th 2008 10:25AM

Yeah, what I needed to visualize until noon is a nuclear engineer with a boner. I feel totally safe now. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Ryan Hartman @ Jun 25th 2008 12:18PM

I'm actually not a nuclear engineer, I'm a convicted sex offender. I figure those two things are close enough that I can just tell people I'm a nuclear engineer. It's practically the same thing. Feel safer now?

The boner part is still true though. It's been throbbing since 10. Although according to my watch, the big hand is on the 15 and the little hand is on the 12 ... so where are my updates? Daddy needs his GOW fix.
