Beta Details
To the surprise of Bulletstorm Epic edition owners, Gears 3’s beta will be available to all Xbox Live Gold members in mid-April. It will feature three new multiplayer game modes and 4 maps. Two maps have already been confirmed – Stadium and Supermarket. The other two maps will be chosen by fans through a contest on the games official Facebook page. The four selections are – Mercy, Old Town, Overpass and Trenches.
New Multiplayer Modes
King of the Hill – Combines with Annex and simplified with a new user interface and ring that moves around the map.
Capture the Leader – Capture and hold either Chairman Prescott or Queen Myrrah. The leaders aren’t useless though as they can see through walls and coordinate their teammates. Also, everyone gets one smoke grenade that can be used to force the player holding the leader to let go.
Team Deathmatch – Each team gets 15 respawns. Once those are gone, it is game over for the team that gets killed first.
Unlockables
“Cole’s Thrashball outfit can be unlocked once you play 70 matches of any game type. You get to keep him in the retail version if get 83 matches total.”
Dedicated Servers – Epic has also stated that the game’s multiplayer will have its own dedicated servers, unlike Gears 1 & 2. This ensures a much improved online experience over the first two games.
