[quote name='Gojtron']wait, i remember what the CC plate looks like, what's the BB one?[/QUOTE]

Check a few pages back.
 
[quote name='kennistond']Not sure if any one posted these exclusive ones yet but these are some slick looking faceplates (minus CC).



I may have to pick up the Best Buy one soon.

[quote name='Zoglog']ALL gloves are off!

1up has a VERY NICE Preview of the game on 1up show. Though you dont see any new footage the comments they make on all the possible pitfalls not occurring makes me want this game very badly

OMG thanks for this. I watched it and them right after called a friend and said you got to DL this NOW. Good stuff. Hell it made me want a Wii even more too.

They're stickers. Hopefully removable.
 
I updated the op with the exclusive faceplates.

Am I the only one not checking every possible video out there? I actually don't like to watch a lot of the trailers for any games, because I want to be surprised when I play through it. I don't want to play and say "oh, this is where _____ happens"

Most of the videos that people have been posting and watching from gametrailers have been MP vids, so really, nothing has been spoiled.

Yeah, I have just been watching the multiplayer. I didn't watch the video of the 1st 10 mintues of single player.
 
[quote name='orntar']any one have the videos from gametrailer.com they can put on putfile or something?

i have 7 8 9 10 in mov foprmat and 16 17 in hd wmv format. looks phenominal streamed to the 360.[/quote]

or just send them to me.

it would be kick ass to stream some more videos to my 360.
 
The Best Buy one is by far the best looking. Is Gamestop/Eb giving away these faceplates or do you have to buy them seperately?

Also, the more I think about it, the more I want the SE. Of course this is YMMV and depends on the store, but are most EBs cool with letting you switch on the spot? I might just try to pull the ol' "I thought I preordered the CE," but I don't want to.
 
Boooooo everything. My GS gets GoW in on Weds. afternoon =/. And here I was thinking there'd be a midnight launch Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
 
Hey sorry this is off topic but since I dont wanna make one for it and this realtes to GOW, I wanted to ask whats the song that plays one the commercial?

I think I heard it in the movie Donnie Darko but Im not quite sure...

Yeah, it's on that soundtrack and called "Mad World."

[quote name='BREVITY']Are these Face Plates out yet? For some or all locations.[/QUOTE]

Judging by the Joystiq comments, the faceplates are on shelves. Of course, this is most likely YMMV.
 
[quote name='AshesofWake']i think i just climaxed watching those HD multiplayer vids.[/QUOTE]

IDK why, but "climax" was just so the perfect word to make me laugh.
 
hey you guys think i'll be able to pick up a copy from gamestop this week without preordering. me and my roomates are going to split the price of it.

Im wondering the same thing. I preordered at GR but they won't have it till Friday the 10th. I can't wait that long. :bomb:

Well supposedly Best Buy, and CC are getting it on the 8th...at least thats what their lastest weekly ads say. You might wanna call your local stores and ask when they're going to get their copies in.
 
To everyone with IGN Insider, you should watch the new IGN Weekly episode. They have alot of exclusive videos from the GoW review build. They show off some of the MP maps, as well as show off some of the cooler weapons GoW has to offer.

I would think so. This game is a huge release for the company.
 
[quote name='VanillaGorilla']Don't even bother with GameStop/EB. Just go to best Buy or Wal Mart, they will be getting the most copies.[/quote]
Some people like me want it on the 7th though not the 12th.
 
[quote name='nyprimus4']Some people like me want it on the 7th though not the 12th.[/quote]

Then you must not know how to read.
 
[quote name='nyprimus4']Some people like me want it on the 7th though not the 12th.[/QUOTE]

There isn't one store in this country that will be getting the game on the 12th. Unless you know of a major mail courier that runs on Sunday that I don't.
 
EB/GS has it listed as a Nov 7th release, but that ussually means you can get it on the 8th. At least thats how it works in my experience.
 
I was wondering if anyone got this in the mail this weekend? Looks like it'd be useful to purchase the LE version or anything for that matter (maybe even Guitar Hero 2). Too bad it ends on the 15th, right before the Wii and PS3 launch.:cry:
 
I got the CC 15% off GoW regular and Collector's. That's a huge chunk off - around $63 after taxes and savings for CE. Crossing my fingers that they will have one, not alot, just one for me :p LOL
 
how long do you have until you can return something to Gamestop/EB?

I have mine coming from family video and felt like doing the swaparoo

7 days I believe.
 
[quote name='slickkill77']No its 30 days if its unopened. I have the reciet with me[/QUOTE]

are you sure? if so I might just pick it up there haha. I hate my EB Games anyway.

heh Hammer of Dawn, that was one of the most pointless weapons ever. it was kind of fun, but it takes awhile to charge and they have to be outdoors.

I haven't played Gears but the Hammer of Dawn doesn't seem pointless. It's just not insanely overpowered. It seems like one of the best ways to get to someone that is completely behind cover since you can target it in front of the cover and then pull it back to kill the person. I think it has it's place.
 
[quote name='Flyersfan']7 days I believe.[/quote]
Where did u get all those pics of the maps? Strategy guide? manual?

thats cool thanks for posting.
 
I went into Circuit City today, and they said they stopped preorders yesterday. The guy said they should have extra though. How hard do you think it would be to walk in on Wednesday and pick one up?

Also, any word on if the one from play-asia will be compatible with us models yet?

?[/QUOTE]

It will be easy as hell to walk into a store and get this game.
 
I never pre-order games (never have once), and I always manage to get it on day 1. I think pre-orders are pointless for games, but I understand them on systems.
