**THE BEY0NDER** · 04-13-2010, 01:56 AM

I hope they have a map that has the ash bodies on it so we can shoot & bust threw them ourselves!

**BATMAN** · 04-13-2010, 01:59 AM

The new trailer really had that gears 1 type of mood.

**Slaz** · 04-13-2010, 01:59 AM

Very cool teaser, got up for it early here in NL!

**PSYCHOTIX** · 04-13-2010, 02:01 AM

great! You always have to be first with the big threads Hooligunn

**E.M** · 04-13-2010, 02:02 AM

You may have noticed this but when the camera zooms out to show the big battle, it shows lambent like crab like things racing at them. A LOT OF THEM!

yeah it looks stellar, going to keep the gritty and dark feel of gears 1 that was missing in gears 2.

Love it.

Hoping for some MP info soon.

**I Tyreek I** · 04-13-2010, 02:04 AM

Soo when does TU6 come to play with such exicitng news....

**OKLAHOMA BEAST** · 04-13-2010, 02:04 AM

I need a multiplayer update to tide me over till gears 3 comes out.

**E.M** · 04-13-2010, 02:05 AM

Also, Dom is so depressed that when the Locust runs at him through the ashes of the girl, Dom goes to just lay down and get shot but Marcus saves him.

**Wisdom Thumbs** · 04-13-2010, 02:05 AM

That was...

THE BEST TRAILER OF ALL TIME.

If Epic keeps me half as hyped as I am for half of the upcoming year, I'll sell my children to them for Epic. BEFORE I ever set eyes on them.

Because I was seriously zoning out after the trailer ended with thoughts of 'o... m... g... cheeseburger awesomeness.' and absolute badassery.

So awesome!

Dom is definitely one of the best and most dynamic characters in videogaming. Wondering how everybody lost all their armor, and where some of the trademark design elements of Dom's armor went? His knife, his twin leg satchels, and his high, sloping shoulder-neck armor. Looks like he donned a stripped down, highlighted version of Cole's armor.

Hopefully this 'everybody goes sleeveless' thing isn't just a gimmick. Or something. What I mean is, after 18 months and everybody changing their armor, I'd be a little weirded out. After all, Marcus kept his armor relatively pristine despite more than 6 months, almost a year, of service. Just look at the covers of 'Jacinto's Remnant' and 'Anvil Gate'!

**Perceptions l** · 04-13-2010, 02:06 AM

yeah cole looks sweet he's bald and now rocking the do rag I also like how their armor is almost gone its gives the feel of desperation and the old school pendulum lancer wowww!!!

Haha, I wonder if we could have made a trailer with basically a slow camera pan down a new shotgun and had about the same amount of interest from existing players, hahha.

More info to update Hooligunn.I'm glad the shotgun threads gave "birth" to the new shotgun

**Spazzumes** · 04-13-2010, 02:08 AM

Lol this owns sim's thread

**Toke** · 04-13-2010, 02:08 AM

GeOW3 is gonna be a great game. Can't wait for next April hopefully we'll get a beta sooner to hold us over.

**I Tyreek I** · 04-13-2010, 02:09 AM

Haha, actually I don't tend to go for big threads. I normally leave that to everyone else. But for Gears 3? I couldn't resist at all

And we're not competing! Sim's is about tonight, mine is all about the long term information center

**cheezeNmayo** · 04-13-2010, 02:10 AM

I was just about to attempt to throw one of these threads together

After watching this trailer, I think I need to read the books to get the run down on what should be happening in Gears 3. I can't wait to see how Epic closes the trilogy.

**Shotty Rasta** · 04-13-2010, 02:12 AM

This thread is better

**PSYCHOTIX** · 04-13-2010, 02:12 AM

the 4th book?? is this one after anvil gate?

**HMFIC08** · 04-13-2010, 02:13 AM

since this will probably be the best place to get info I will repost this on here

For anyone who does not know what the Pendulum war lancer is here is a description. I had no idea what is was so I looked it up and this is what i found.

Here is the link I found it at
http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Lan...ars-Era_Lancer

The Pendulum Wars-Era Lancer is the older model of the current Lancer. Lacking the Chainsaw Bayonet attachment and a targeting sight, this earlier Lancer model featured a set of bayonet lugs below the barrel for mounting a standard combat knife and a conventional set of scope-mounting brackets on the receiver. This model was still in use over one year after Emergence Day[2], despite any shortcomings when used against the physically superior Locust. As a result, the Lancer's design was significantly revamped, resulting in the current model. A digital targeting sight and a Chainsaw Bayonet were added in response to the Locust Horde's superior physical strength and preference for close combat. The Lancer has since become a symbolic distinction of the COG and its Gears.

Gears 3: continuing the Hollywood stereotype that unbearable losses inevitably lead to long beards.

its true you know...

**Mike Damone** · 04-13-2010, 02:15 AM

would anybody happen to know where i can see a larger version of the trailer (the fallon clip is kinda small)

**cheezeNmayo** · 04-13-2010, 02:17 AM

It'll probably be on xbl in a few days. There might even be some decent quality vids on youtube soon.

This should do it.
