Gears of War 2 leaked on file-sharing sites

Epic's 360 shooter already being downloaded two week's ahead of release

Epic Games' Gears of War 2 has already been hacked and is currently being offered on torrent sites over two week's before its official release.

One torrent site observed by GamesIndustry.biz had over 600 people seeding portions of the game and more than 6000 downloading the 6.76GB file – only 15 hours after it was uploaded.

The Xbox 360 title joins Fallout 3 as a Christmas blockbuster release marred by the constant piracy problem in the videogame industry.

The title is officially released on November 7.
