I expect pokemon sales to be that huge but im happy/amazed at gears 3..... def so far from launch..... go gears

I really think this will be the best selling Gears to date. 7 million lifetime sales at least.

Yea there s no way of arguing with that.... I already got mine pre-ordered.... And i got like 3 other friends into gears 2 recently too... The story mode part... Online is gonna be 10x better than the 2nd one....

Gears of War has always been plagued with a hindered online compenent. Online was a last minute decision for Gears 1, and almost didn't make the final product, and Gears 2 online never quite fixed the host issues of the first game. However with Host Migration, an extra year in development, and even a public beta to increase hype and test the product, this could be the biggest Gears to date.

Yea i think it will be.... Haha i still have my gears of war 2 bottle opener haha i just found it the other day.... on topic though i really liked gears 1 online...... but it seems that epic listened to there fans on the third game, which i like.... cause alot of people had complaints with 2nd ones online.... I want it to sell more than halo honestly, gears is the reason i have an 360

Same here! Mad World is the reason I got into gaming this generation. Before that commercial and the reviews for this game came out I was perfectly happy with my PS2/GCN combo.

However to be honest, when I first got my 360 I strongly prefered Lost Planet online over Gears of War 1 online. Gears of War 1 was probably the best game I played for 2006/2007, but I found Gears 1 online very difficult to get into. One day I gave it a second chance as I had gotten very high in rank in Lost Planet, and wow I loved it.

Still online was never the focus of Gears 1, and the structure of online was significantly improved in Gears 2. However it was still buggy, and they introduced that level system very late after the release of the game. I hope the beta solidifies the Gears 3 online experience. I wonder what the seriously achievement will be this time round.

I noticed that Gears 2 largly immitated Halo 3's game system. I really hope Gears 3 mimicks Halo's Reaches experience system. It's not much, but being able to customize your appearance, and unlock new armour makes a big difference. Also daily challenges keep me coming back.
