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.

haha you sound like me, my last gen was a ps2/gcn too.... but i leaned toward gcn alil more than ps2 for some reason..... then i dont know why i got a 360 but i did alil after launch, which honestly i hated MS after that cause my first 360 crashed 4 times in the first two months hahaaha... i got so mad i sold it and got a wii a week later, 4 months after i had the wii i got bored with it, and i turned to the ps3, uncharted 1 is the reason for me buying a ps3.... i kept my wii too.... then got a psp and then i got a 360 again with forza 3 and fell in love with xbox again... I am glad MS fixed there problems with the system cause it was frustrating for a while, but i still love em, i love hookin my zune up to it... I loved the first lost planet, the 2nd one was such a huge dissapointment to me, i hated it.... halo online is one of the best if not the best online, so i hope gears 3 takes notes from them..... but gears of war 3 wont disaapoint.... theres no way.... I really want to play it.... Halo did set the tone for alot of good stuff with customization.... I think gears 3 will follow suite 

HAHAHA I prefered GCN over PS2 as well!

My situation this gen was a little different. Got a 360 in 2007 because after 2 months of Repeat Mad World comercials, I just had to get it. Got an extended warrenty expecting repair issues, and of boy did I have them. However in the end, after my 3rd replacement I got an HDMI Arcade model with my warrenty in early 2010 and haven't had problems with it since. Had the 360 independently until 2009, but at that point 360 repair's were annoying me so I got a second hand 20GB PS3 for Uncharted 2/Killzone 2. However I've always wanted a Wii, and all 2010 I was waiting on a price cut. It never came, but a month ago I got the Red limited edition Wii anyway, and traded in NSMB Wii as I didn't like it too much. I got the Wii because my PS3 was starting to freeze on me, so I gave it to a friend knowing it would break on me soon. He is still using it, but I plan to get a new PS3 this fall (maybe refurbished again, but not a first gen model). The Last Guardian is just too cool.

BTW, I got my DS in 2005, and no problems with it mechanically at all. I don't own a PSP, but a close friend does and we trade handhelds now and then. Since he fills in my PSP void, I actually have every console up to Sega Saturn, but then again I could always emulate stuff that old.

As for Gears 3, I can only hope they make some sort of experience perk system. CoD and Halo both have something in place, it's very likely Gears follows suit.

Lost Planet 2 was my biggest dissapointment in all of gaming.. I couldn't even bring myself to finishing the game. Going to trade it in, as a pre-order down payment for Gears 3.
