Gears 2 2007 rumours shot down

There was a flurry of commotion on the official Gears of War message board yesterday, after one user claimed to see the motto "2nd Emergence Q4 2007" on Cliffy 'man of style' B's user profile.

Obviously the entire internet (well, the part of it that enjoys chainsawing people in the face) exploded at the thought of playing Marcus Fenix's second chapter this side of 2008, but alas it was all too good to be true.

The rumour was shot down after users spotted that the Cliffy B in question was not in fact the real Cliffy B, but a fake, less well-groomed version with an 'I' in place of the 'l' in his username. Cheeky bugger.

Epic would never release Gears Of War 2 at the same time as Halo 3. I don't think M4 would allow for it either. It most likely be Qtr. 4, 2008.
