Epic probably got scared of KZ3 and Crysis 2

Sure...You know that Gears 2 sold double the amount of KZ2 right? And that Gears 3 will probably have more competition duing the holidays.

Smart decision business wise but it sucks for the 360 gamers who will basically have no exclusive games for most of 2011.

Oddly enough, the 360 gets a lot of exclusives every year, but most of them are incredibly obscure and no one knows about them.

It has to do with the fact that the publisher is largely responsible for the advertisement of their games.

Almost half of the Xbox 360's exclusives aren't even published by Microsoft.

I think he's NarrowElf, also, you shouldn't double post here, it's against the rules or something.

Some Gears of War 3 information:

Graphics:

-The graphics have clearly improved incredibly thanks to a new “global illumination system” that creates some amazing lighting and shadowing effects.
-The article describes a flag blowing in the breeze, possibly indicating a wind mechanic or at least a simulated graphical effect of wind on certain objects.
-Cover still can be chipped away at like Gears of War 2, but more cover is now fully destructible.
-The AI path finding has been improved to recognised fully destroyed cover, allowing it to walk right over a spot where cover used to be.
-In the E3 demo, we even see Marcus' hair is moving in reaction to his motions
Explosions seem to be way bigger and have a much bigger visual punch

Executions:

-In the MeriStation TV interview, Cliff says there will be a ton of new executions in the game this time round and there will be an incentive for using them in multiplayer.
-Almost every weapon in the game has its own finishing execution.
-Executions must now be earned through a task related to it (presumably to do with the relevant weapon). Once unlocked, you can then freely use it to show off to your friends.
-The Scorcher: Jammed into the enemies’ torso, the Scorcher is then fired, causing flames to come out of the body through the eyes and mouth.
-The Shotgun: The reloading catch is unhinged, wrapped around the neck of the enemy and then used to snap the enemies’ neck.
Pendulum Lancer: Enemy is slashed open with the bayonet
-The "arm ripping" Locust execution, where you rip the arm off a downed soldier and beat him to death with it, seems to be back. It's unclear if this is a player usable execution (as in the E3 demo, an NPC Locust uses it) but it's probably safe to presume so.

Miscenalleous:

-Players can now vault over cover and kick an enemy to down him. It is unclear what the effect of this is in multiplayer
-You can now chainsaw a Lambent enemy then kick them away towards enemies before they explode, a departure from the Gears 1 lambent wretches which exploded in your face if you chainsawed them
-A meatshielded enemy can now be picked up and grenade tagged, then kicked towards enemies.
-Your reticule will now bloom to reflect the current accuracy of your weapon. It should be noted that in the E3 demo, the bloom is significantly larger if you are moving, even at a slow pace
-As seen in the E3 demo, players can now charge an enemy with the Pendulum Lancer and ram a bayonet into their chest. It is not yet confirmed if this is in multiplayer
Stationary turrets are shown in a screenshot for Beast mode in the GearsofWar.com media section. Whether these are used in other modes is unknown
Steve Jablonsky returns as the composer for Gears of War 3. Jablonsky composed the music for Gears 2 and big action films such as Transformers.

Also, a multiplayer reveal video will be shown on October 7th or 8th.

They finally added dedicated servers!!

Yeah, that's beyond great.
The game will basically be perfect now.

Atleast in the U.S....

Depending on where the servers are located people outside the U.S. might be at a slight advantage...but dedicated servers are ALOT better than the current system.

Hell yes. I'm not a Gears fan, but this is awesome for those who are.

Not a huge fan of Gears, movement was too... stiff for my liking.

I don't see what you mean. Did you try high sensitivity?

I think he means going to cover, going out of cover, moving, etc.
