It's going to drop on a Sunday? Okay....

see i love splash pages like this that actually have a meaning. lol hell it got me all excited and i dont even have a 360.

on the same note, i wish i could figure out what the hell the Resistance 2 splash page meant. im SO confused!

This is what I read:

"Visiting the official Gears of War 2 page right now sends you to a splash page with the above image. Using some sort of witchcraft you get Nov 9th as a release date. Microsoft hasn't issued a press release, but it's hard to argue against November 9 being the official release date for Gears of War 2. We expect a confirmation by next week, if not before."

I'm so glad there are people on the internet to do this sort of stuff for us.

Cant wait.......

Sweet....locust killing time.

Halo 2 was also released on November 9th if I recall correctly.

That's nice dorky detective work Joystiq!

i think its coming out on the 11th because of Veteran's Day would make a whole lot of sense

What a hideous piece of promo artwork. The "art style" is simplistic digital painting without even an attempt to invoke some kind of mood or feeling with the technique. Impressive work... six years ago. Composition-wise, the image crops in all four directions as soon as it might possibly start to get interesting. Shoulders, gun, the landscape in the distance... all could have been interesting, and all are lost in the crop.

All four fingers have been violently broken and dislocated from the hand... which is as lifeless and flaccid as the dangling dog tags. Not even a fist holding the chain, or the tags themselves being contemplated in the marine's palm. The only "motion" in the piece -- two helicopters in the distance -- is actually obscured by the hand, the most uninteresting element of the image.

No artistic weight, horrible composition and cropping, and dull, uninspired subject matter. Honestly, I couldn't be *less* interested by this image.

lol it's coming out in november i think everyone can agree on that for sure. There are a lot of other games coming out before that as well so we'll be busy.

That's my birthday! The same day Halo 2 came out! Too bad I've never owned an xbox.
