Carlo is right
people "assumed" Gears was launch because it was talked about early on.
it was never given a timeframe until after or during E3.
be happy its not a launch title. That gives Cliffy 9 to 12 months to dive into the 360s hardware and make it look and run better than any of us here could possibly expect
Marcus rocks!!
Think of what coming next summer...
Gears of War
Huxley
Dark Sector
