is it me, or has GeOW become the ''halo killer'' of mythic status?

i know they're not the same genre, or even revolve around a similar story line for that matter, but when you look at it this way, GeOW errupted on the Xbox Live scene, sort of like Halo did; and in school, nearly everyone talks about GeOW... forgetting all about Halo. so in a way, since no other dev could create a Halo killer, Microsoft had to do it themselves.

Gears of War 2 won't come out in just over a year. Hell, they haven't even announced it. And Halo 3 will rock. It's gonna be on god status - because I said so :lol:

No way Gears 2 will come out before Halo3. Bill G wont allow it.

So that other shooters may live.

Oh really? Who told you this? It's more plausible for Gears to come out late '08 or in '09, simply because Halo 3 will take up the 07/08 spot.

Recently Microsoft said they'd have their big hitters come out every other year. So gears 1/06-halo 3/07-gears 2/08-(I wanna say something came out in 09 before gears 3, I dunno maybe someone has the link)

I think Fable 2 may be the 09 one instead. Just so Gears will be bigger and better.

It MIGHT have been, if it were on another console. However since it's not, it's more like a Halo appetizer.

Cows were hoping it would be Killzone and then Resistance. I think the current Halo killer is hyped to be Killzone 2. Gears of War is a better choice but most 360/Gears fans don't want Halo killed anyway.

Bungie is better than that. Bungie actually knows what we want to have. In the latest update they already mentioned they're making it ultra easy to mute people. Normally you would have to go to the slider and select it there, but it takes ages. Now it will take mere seconds.
