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)]

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!

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.

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.

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 :\

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

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.
