Gears of War 2 Viral Marketing?

14
Released today from an anonymous source, is but a single picture of a hand holding a real life Gears of War COG Tag, written next to it is but 5 simple words. Every Tag Tells A Tale. Clever Marketing? Viral Advertisement? Or is it something more? The same picture is even spotted in a brief flash during Epic's latest Developer Diary, Meet the Horde. Intriguing to say the least, but until more is revealed, you can count on Epic to have something up their sleeve.

1.1 - Better than a (fake) picture?
Now THAT'S something I'd like to see in the Limited Edition.. not a stupid-ass fake picture with Dom and his wife.

you might be right, but it could just be a really small person with a really small hand.

It could mean that GeoW2 will be released on a 100GB cog shaped disc.

Or it could be stupid little messages written on cogs that will come with the game, like fortune cookies or something.

Could go either way at this point.

Hardly (at least now), there's nothing other than an image and a senseless 'riddle'

All it needs is a power coin.

IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!

Ok, seriously though... I wouldn't mind them including something like that in the collector's edition.

I just bought 2 games, but i already have a gold subscription. maybe someone that just recently purchased an Xbox can try out Gold membership. I am sorry I don't have anymore. They are one use. So first person that enters each one get those 48 hours.

Very cool, this is the kind of thing that I would expect from Epic. I'm excited for what this turns out to be.
