Official Gears of War 3 thread

[Criollo]

I figured since the Beta is right around the corner we can get this started now as a place to get groups and talk strats when the beta is released.



Release date: September 20, 2011

New Modes:
Beast mode- It is the opposite of Horde Mode in Gears of War 2, the player instead attacks COG members as Locust. Tokens are earned for killing enemies, allowing the player to upgrade their character to a stronger class of Locust.

Team Deathmatch- a game similar to Warzone, every team has 25 respawns (30 lives including starting ones) per round, and when the lives run out the game-mode turns into a regular Warzone match

Capture the Leader- is a combination of Guardian and Submission, and the leader will have to be captured and held for 30 seconds. But, the leader will still be able to struggle and knock his captor around. The struggling causes minor damage and can turn a match around.

New weapons:
Pendulum Lancer
Sawed off shotgun

Oneshot, the angry, menopausal mother of all sniper rifles. It weighs a ton, only has one zoom level and makes a godawful whining noise when engaged. It leaves you totally exposed, it's hard to aim, and it broadcasts your intention to fire with a yellow-to-red laser sight similar to the Torque Bow

and the biggest news i think is dedicated servers so no more bull**** host advantage
