The Gears Of War saga is coming to an end. I don’t like that. At all. Games of this magnitude should really never end. September 20th is the date, so save it, or pre-order or do whatever you have to do. I mean look at Dom, he’s lost everything. And he still fights? What have you ever done?
Gears 3 will take place 18 months after the events of 2, and the humans have lost Jacinto. It’s seemingly and endless and almost hopeless battle. But the COGs fight on. You’ll get to see Marcus, Dom, Carmine, Baird, Cole, and 3 playable female characters, including series favorite and one of my many wives, Anya. More past the break. · An enthralling cinematic story that captivates players in an intimately intense action game
· Five-on-five multiplayer experience as well as four player campaign co-op experience
· New multiplayer game modes including ‘Beast Mode’ – offering a new twist to the game where you take on the role of the locust horde and their assorted variations!
· New maps including: Trenches which features an impressive sand storm that reduces your visibility, as well as Overpass, Mercy, Checkout, and Thrashball
· New weapons including: The Bayonet Charge, The Retro Lancer, The Sawed-off Shotgun, The OneShot – a heavy sniper rifle that shoots through shields or cover for a surprise one shot kill, The Incendiary Grenade, The Digger Launcher and a few subtle tweaks to old favorites Hammerburst and The Classic Lancer. Don’t forget that each weapon now has its own execution move!
Stay tuned for more updates, and keep your eyes peeled for more news on the Official Multiplayer Public Beta coming soon!
