I know this video is 2 months old, but I just saw it today...

They're pushing the release date to the holidays of 2011. Unbelievable.
GOW -Nov. 7, 2006
GOW2- Nov. 7, 2008
GOW3- Holidays, 2011

3 years in between releases? 5 years in between the release of the first game of a trilogy to the final game...on the same console? I never thought that was possible.

It better be worth it...

yeah let's release it before it's a finished product with lots of bugs and glitches...

much rather wait another 6 month then get an unpolished game. L.A. noire has been delayed a million times but i'm pretty confident it's going to be worth it

Yeah, agreed. Sucks its delayed, but to help fix it up and get a better experience; I can wait 6 months.

I do like how we all moan about how games get delayed, but then moan again when they are released early

Part of me thinks this is also related to Bulletstorms release in February, to maximise the impact of that game. Which is fair enough since it does look SO MUCH FUN!

I've heard the same too Bulletstorm does looks like great fun. They should release it early November to get one in over the yearly Cod instalment. I'm glad they have admitted that Gears2 online was terrible and have decided to make a beta with their extra development times rather than resting on their laurels. I think the beta is coming out sometime early next year.

You would think 2.5 years would be enough time to create an adequate game...But if Epic drastically enhances the game in these 6 months, then so be it.

Reverse horde mode "Beast mode" played rather well last July when I played it. At this point, should just be tweaks and story polish. Storyline needs to finish well.

Anyone tried out the Beta yet? I had the epic edition of Bulletstorm and have been playing literally all week

Its quite good fun actually, some nice new additions such as mantling over cover and stunning an opponent if they are on the other side.

Digger launcher is fun to use and the Oneshot is nicely balanced with its "warm up" before being able to shoot. The retro lancer and sawn-off shotgun are waay OP if you ask me.

Even more psyched for the game now

Ilocano: buuuurrrrrrppppp.......; +341|6887

Yup. Got it setup on two of my consoles. Will setup the third one tonight.

But yeah, retro lancer and sawn-off shotgun are definitely OP, especiallly considering the amount of cover the maps have. I have more kills with the shotties than with the lancers/hammerburst. And speaking of the retro lancer, roadie kills are f*cking awesome. Gameplay has definitely gone back to GoW1 style, where clutching a game is very common.

I'm guessing the beta is Multiplayer only?

Not really sure I'm gonna get this one... I've never gotten into the MP. I always enjoyed the SP, but the MP never really caught me.

That because everyone just ran around torque-bowing and chainsawing each other. Kinda lame tbh. Though if you want mp there's plenty of other games out there. Just that decision that comes up in a lot of games unfortunately whether to spend 60 bucks on a campaign.

Agreed, but I do enjoy the campaign a lot and justify the cost of the game on it. Horde Mode was alright, but it's still nothing special.

I've never done a campaign on my own, either. Always gone through on Co-Op.

Agreed, it has gone back to GoW1 style, the movement is so much more fluid and free. Feels great!

The retro and sawn-off are waaay OP, but despite using them for a while, Ive gone back to Lancer/Gnasher and I <3 the Gnasher again The sawn-offs get 1 shot and only up close, so Im tending to keep my distance (when I can) and gun them down when they are running/jumping/rolling away. Certainly proving to be very effective

The retro just plain annoys me. Its fine...until it gets an active. The active shots are what make it OP; Ive often been downed in 1-2 hits from full health and its just fucking stupid.

Other than the retro, the game doesn't need a great deal of work IMO. Few glitches with weapons disappearing when they are dropped though. Im looking at you Oneshot on Trenches.

Just played some Horde 2.0 over the weekend. Pics later when I have the time to pull them off my camera. But simply put, because of Horde 2.0, I'm now ordering three copies of Gears of War 3, for my two boys and myself. Horde was my most played mode on GoW2, and it'll definitely be my most played mode on GoW3. The two maps I played on were well layed out. Many access ways and circular design. None of that stuck in one place that was GoW2 horde maps. And wielding that giant cleaver was a thing of beauty.

Still debating it... I never played the MP on the first two but I did enjoy the SP w/ co-op. Just don't know if I can truly justify the pricepoint if I'm only playing SP. It's not like it's a SP-only game like Fallout 3/NV where you can get 50 hours out of it easily.

2 regular editions, one limited. Versus MP is meh, but Horde 2.0 and Beast Mode are fun game modes. And yes, I'm played both game modes.

Yup still need to change my pre to blockbuster. Why did you never play MP I will never know. This campaign is meant to be good though.

I havent played an afwul lot of MP on either.
Its was shit on 1.
I never actually owned 2, i borrowed it from a mate of mine and got to play the SP 3 times (hard, insane and insande co-op) and a bit of horde.
But i am planning on playing MP in 3. And i really love horde mode, so i'm definitely playing that (and beast mode as well)

I heard MP on 1 had a massive learning curve. MP on number two was ok when it wasn't laggy which was quite rare though,

Never lagged for me.
