We all sort of knew something like this was coming. Epic has released a new trailer for Gears of War 2, attempting to capture the charm and beauty of their previous title’s flagship advertisement, “Mad World.” This new one is called “Last Day,” and is above. It was created by the people who made the original trailer, so be prepared to be sad.

Microsoft has announced that this advertisement will be seeing some nice air time as well. The “Last Day” ad will air in 15 countries. A selection of programming includes:

• U.S. – Nov. 2 during the NFL’s Sunday Night Football presentation of the New England Patriots at the Indianapolis Colts on NBC
• Canada – Nov. 3 during the NFL’s Monday Night Football presentation of the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Washington Redskins
• France – Nov. 3 on Sci Fi Channel and MTV
• Mexico – Nov. 3 on FX, FOX and CVM networks during prime time programming
• Australia – Nov. 4 during The Simpsons on FOX 8, Nov. 7 on MTV during the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards and Nov. 10 during American Chopper on the Discovery Channel
• United Kingdom – Cinema spots including films such as Saw V and Max Payne; TV spots on Dec. 1 during The Simpsons on Sky One and Dec. 2 on Sky Sports 1 during Carling Cup Football

Have the chills? I don't know about you, but the music definitely does it. With "How It Ends" by DeVotchKa playing as they make what might be a suicide attack on the Locust? That's enough to bring a grown man to tears.

And me? Forget about it.
