Cole Train hints at Gears 2 date News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

2 June, 2008

The actor behind Gears of War character Cole Train has hinted that the upcoming sequel will be out on 16th November.

Lester "Mighty Rasta" Speight (who used to play professional American Football before deciding he likes his dramatics) spilled the beans by cheekily suggesting press ask him again after that date.

He was chatting at a TriForce event in the US; this is the company that has just announced it will be creating official life-sized replicas of the Gears of War armour and weapons.

Microsoft was unavailable to clarify the date, which falls on a Sunday according to our calendar - neither a Tuesday when the US typically gets games nor a Friday when Europe gets them.

It is within the November window previously and officially promised, though, and similar to the original Gears of War "Emergency Day" date [I added that bit and I'm not changing it - Ed].

The platform holder and publisher has also just revealed a fresh edition of the original Gears of War for PC and Xbox 360.

It goes on sale across the US on 24th June, and contains all of the downloadable content so far, 250 fresh Gamerpoints to achieve, plus a second disc with a preview of Gears of War 2.

Unfortunately its European whereabouts are still unknown.

I think you'll find it was Emergence day not Emergency day. Although I'm sure the staff at xbox live thought it was.

Does this mean we'll be able to roll with Cole Train again :) As strange as this sounds, his attitude in the game was the only one that made sense. A kind of all or nothing bring it on attitude of a man ready to die fighting.

I love the idea of an emergency day. A national holiday where everyone sets fire to things, breaks legs and burgles houses.

What DLC does it refer to? I only have the pc version, I'm not sure what's included in that version already.

Cole and Baird were one of the main reasons why i loved the first game so much. Quality voice acting and very funny.

The PC extra levels were actually -really- good I thought. Got rid of the "huh where did this train come from?!" thing completely, and were well good in their own right. So I hope they do! What other DLC is he referring to, though? Were there MP map packs for the 360 or something?

Yeah, they released two free map packs on the 360 iirc so it's not really a treat imo.

Just add stabbing to that list and you have a normal day in London.
