South Africa hasn't been left out of the Gears of War 2 "Last Day" Viral Campaign, with a real-life COG hidden somewhere in Johannesburg. A cryptic message along with co-ordinates were posted earlier today on the Xbox-360.co.za Forum:
GPS Co-ordinates:
26° 2'36.53 - S
28° 0'48.87 - E
Humans are no strangers to war. The people of Sera have been waging war against each other forever. They fought for Immulsion, for country, for freedom. But then Emergence Day happened, and for fifteen years they have been fighting for survival. Humanity stands at the brink of oblivion, driven nearly to extinction by a relentless, brutal foe.
The war against the Locust Horde has taken a turn. The Lightmass Bomb failed, and the Locust have returned with a force capable of sinking entire cities. Jacinto, the last human stronghold, is at risk. If Jacinto sings, all hop is lost.
COG forces have banded together for one final assault, taking the fight below ground to strike at the heart of the Locust. In the final hours before a desperate attack against an overwhelming enemy, the only thing left to hold onto is hope itself.
The GoW2 viral program allows gamers to find real-life COG tags which have been hidden across the world. Using the co-ordinates and clues, you will be able to trace these down, and in this case, it's somewhere in Johannesburg. Each COG contains a code which unlocks content such as videos and information regarding the upcoming game. But best of all, if you find the COG tag, you can keep it! Further information on the viral program and using the website can be found at this thread.
[UPDATE] The first COG in Johannesburg has been found. However, there's another one in Pretoria. Check out the thread here.
[UPDATE 2] The second COG in Pretoria has been found. I've added pictures below of the 2 cogs and their new owners: Raglin & Agent 46 ZA. Well done guys!
