Hell... it's the only shooter I own where camping is rarely an issue and I'm thankful for it.

I agree. I am glad there was hardly any camping in GoW2.

GI Scans.

Love this:
"The flamethrower can be thrust into an enemies torso, causing flames to ignite from within and cause it to come out of their eyes and mouth".


That piranha gun reminds me of this

Lol @ thrusting the flamethrower into an enemy's torso. Intense.

I would be kinda surprised if this was the case, but nonetheless its possible. Microsoft wouldn't want to spread their customer's too thin.

There is no question that given the right deal Gears 3 is a must-buy. Multiplayer is an automatic "YES!", the single player I am sure will be another "WOO!", not to mention all of the other features and such.

BTW, I wonder if/what modes they will add into the multiplayer?

Beast Mode sounds pretty cool:

Beast mode actually isn’t that much of a departure from the existing Horde mode formula. The twist is that instead of controlling human COG soldiers, up to five players get to control not only the bipedal Locust as in the competitive multiplayer, but also other Locust types. That’s right, you can even play the role of the suicidal Ticker! Going against the COG soldiers, players start off with lesser Locust enemies, such as Tickers and Wretches, and work their way up the leveling ladder until they get to the ultimate Locust beast, the Berserker herself (Brumak not yet confirmed!). But that’s only one of the classes, as players will also get to choose other more traditional Locust enemies and level them up to unlock superior variants. Horde mode fans need not worry, as it will be making a comeback and will feature more gameplay upgrades and distinct new challenges.

I wasn't too hyped about this game until I witnessed the demo on the MS keynote yesterday...the Campaign seems like it's going to be more fast paced and pretty nuts. Horde mode was my favorite addition to GoW2 and Beast mode looks like it might be one of my favorite additions of GoW3.

smokin' hot. the new videos, screenshots, modes, and characters all ooze hotness.

Awesome. Count me in for both Horde and Beast modes.

Wow we get to decide Clayton Carmines fate....

The Carmine family is something of a running gag in the Gears of War franchise. More of a dying gag, really, considering a Carmine brother has suffered an undignified death in each game thus far. Naturally, we were all set to see another Carmine brother bite the big one in Gears of War 3 ... and then developer Epic Games threw a curve ball. Rather than putting a red shirt on the latest Carmine -- Clayton, the hulking brute you see above -- Epic is leaving his fate in your hands. Starting July 29, players will be able to buy two new shirts on Avatar Marketplace, one emblazoned with "Save Carmine" and the other with "Carmine Must Die." Each shirt purchased counts as a vote toward one fate or the other. The winning vote will then be implemented in Gears of War 3. We'd call it shameless ploy to sell virtua-shirts, but the proceeds will go to the Child's Play charity. If you're headed to Comic-Con this week, the NECA booth (#3145) will also be selling real versions of both shirts for $20. And yes, they do count as votes. Frankly, we'd like to see the Carmine family redeem itself, but we get the feeling that real Gears fans are kind of sadistic. We've placed a poll after the break to confirm our suspicions. source: Joystiq

At first i thought he should die, but looking at the pictures he looks badass. The other two carmines were weak, this guy will you up! I think im going to vote to let him live.

That's hilarious. Think I'll vote "Carmine Must Die."

I'd honestly prefer this Carmine to break the family curse but I'm not going to waste money casting a vote that surely won't matter in the long run. I would however bet good money he'll die. ;\

Cool, Claudia Black is the voice for the brown haired woman in gears 3. I know her mostly from Stargate SG-1, but she was also the voice in Uncharted 2. Hope she is a MP character.

And in case you didnt know it Jace, the new black character is voiced by Ice T.

EDIT: LOL he got banned, and he works for Epic, i think he does the voice work recording.

Hmmm could have sworn. I guess Ice T is voicing Griffin. Who is Drake?

personally, I don't think plot points, regarding Clay Carmine, should be decided by fans or popular vote. these decisions are key pivotal moments affecting story, atmosphere, and canon. The creative team ought to retain these decisions. Selling real or virtual shirt just screams poor taste; and disappoints.

Epic could always let the player decide during the moment, e.g. gameplay, to save Carmine or not. Just like they did with choosing a path. But then this method goes against interpretation of storyline. I would be surprised at this point if the entire Gears 3 plot-line wasn't laid out by this time. There's just over 8 months to go. And two books to be release before that. I'd like to see more of the back-stories fleshed out during Gear 3's in-game cinematics. The touching moments in Gears 2 were very well done.

If they start resurrecting dead characters like in the comics, that would be a major letdown.

They could always just do it however they wanted, and say the shirt sales match the outcome.

I dont think they will announce if he will live or die, we will have to see it for ourselves in the game. At least i hope they wouldnt announce it before the games release. Either way it doesnt bother me.
