no update on London COGs. Reading and London are still unreported - the two reported in the area were from the Expo, not the hidden COGs.

COG status up to date in my article.
3 NYC (cathedral, washington, times) cogs unreported, and the 2 London COGs unreported.

Not good. And where are Team London and Team NY? Sorry if this question sounds out of place or something, but I'd like to hear from them.

**666MasterOfPuppets** · 10-31-2008, 02:06 PM

BTW, no new coords from Six yet.

**nataku700** · 10-31-2008, 02:11 PM

I'm here at work lol im not all of Team NY though. But from the 10 hours i spent last night its a pretty safe bet times square and Washington are gone we sweeped washington pretty hard last night and found nothing we prob spent 3 and half hours and searched every tree in the park and every lightpost. Then we did a block radius around the park checking hydrants and cracks. Times Square might be MIA we spent about 3 hours there and didn't really find anything. Honestly, though there weren't that many places to search since its a pretty open space so we may have missed something obvious??? St. Patts is worth a shot but 7 teams went there yesterday and nothing. Me and Chris's teams combine prob spent 7 hours in that location inside and around the church.

**666MasterOfPuppets** · 10-31-2008, 02:17 PM

Damn. Either the MS/Epic guys hid the COG tags really well this time, or the tags are indeed MIA. And I'd hate to see any tags MIA, in the hands of people who don't care about GoW.

**digitalfuji2** · 10-31-2008, 02:31 PM

UPDATE ON THE TIME SQUARE TAG:well my mom works at time square and she was going to have some co-workers help her look for the tag for me and she had printed a pic of a cog tag to show them what it looks like and one of her co-workers said he had found it there yesterday but he throw it in the garbage not knowing what is.

i think the time square tag is MIA for good but feel free to keep checking just in case but i thinks is true that he throw it away because u cant really mistake how a cog tag looks with anything else

Nice!! At least you have a chance you never know!!

**Jedi_Kez** · 10-31-2008, 02:38 PM

Uhm... Team Winnipeg checking in.... lol.

Times Square tag thrown away? Really? I find that hard to believe, especially with something like "If found, go to http://...." printed on it.

**Windowlicker77** · 10-31-2008, 02:41 PM

Wow you know guys we might be getting to the end of hidden cogs. A lot of major cities have had them placed and it's almost to 700 now. With only 1000 cogs out there and the retail program this weekend we might be SOL

I hope not I'll try and keep positive!!

I'm not sure about the rest of Team London, but I can't confirm on either location whether it's definitely been found or not. I only managed to search the Commercial st. location.

But it does seem like Team London has whittled down a bit. A lot of them who were here from near the start of the campaign seem to have disappeared....

[QUOTE=mikebil;25628408]FYI, did a search for COGs on eBay this morning and came up with 5. Thought I'd give everyone a heads up.

How much does anyone want to bet that the winning bidder who won it at $510 is a deadbeat bidder and was just bidding to drive it up? The bidder has zero feedback and has been registered for a few years with eBay. Chances are the seller will make a second chance offer to the next highest bidder who seemed legit. And of course eBay won't do anything about it, since they cater to buyers and screw the sellers around.

By the way, Circuit City is running a Gears of War 2 promotion, when you buy the game between November 7th and November 9th, you get a free 1600 point XBOX Live marketplace card. Now, I bet Best Buy would match it as well too.

So, the Commercial street Cog, although incredibly close to the Eurogamer Expo, is not one in the same? Anyone know any more info, I have a short shift at work tomorrow and could go for a hunt.

**AOW Waterborn** · 10-31-2008, 07:17 PM

It literally took me all afternoon, about 3 hours. I was also baking a couple of pies with the meat of the pumpkin, so take a few minutes here and there out for that. I had no idea how much work it would be to make that pumpkin. Now I just have to figure out how to preserve it for next year, cause I really don't want to do that again!

No new info on it dude, but you could try diving into the bushes in the small park like area, if it helps

I don't think I'd want to either, probably wouldn't have the time, patience, space, skills (and money, somehow

) to do so.

**AOW Waterborn** · 10-31-2008, 11:32 PM

I just spoke with Docta Splatta and he told me he found the one by the Museum. This is the last one furthest west, near the river. He indicated that he would post info later. Congrats Docta on your find.

Ok...that was the 3rd place I was gonna look.....I am heading downtown tommorrow for the other locations.

**Doomstink** · 11-01-2008, 12:30 AM

I believe no one has seen this yet:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Gears-of-War-2-L...d=p3286.c0.m14

That's one of the five New York COGS. He says he found it in a cobblestone hiding spot. There goes another one to eBay.

DOOD why is it all these NY tags are going up for sale on ebay? I guess they are worth more to other fans?

**nismojoe** · 11-01-2008, 01:27 AM

yea, just got back from philly hunting. splatta has the art museum one right?
i showed my friend the map of the drexel one and he said forget aobut it, that is the main intersection drexel students travel. it's probably long gone.

we checked rittenhouse square thoroughly. that one was gone too.

the one near 3rd-4th & chestnut st was the fun one. the area the map pointed to was sealed off for the night i guess. my friends and i "got in" and searched all over. that one was gone too.

lame.

**Porkfry** · 11-01-2008, 01:45 AM

Do we have a Team Philly? If so we should mobilize them!

THAR BE COGS TA BE FOUND!
