Colonel Loomis:

"Whenever you a grow franchise there's a certain lever of betrayal, says Epics Games directer of production Rod Fergusson. "If you don't betray the customer a little bit, then it's not changing enough and people feel like it's becoming stagnant. But if you betray them too much then you loose them. You've always got to keep it fresh. By being outside the Marcus Fenix story, we're going to have more opportunity to do new things."

On PCF's involvement with Judgment

"People can fly is heavily involved in both the campaign and multiplayer, but especially the campaign. This is something we have initiated. We proposed the story and the gameplay hooks. Basically everything about campaign was initiated by People Can Fly. Obviously there is heavy involvement from Epic. I like to think about as the best of both worlds. On one hand we bring something fresh to the franchise, but on the other hand we have the original creators making sure it's still Gears."

"Judgment begins 15 years before Gears of War, with Baird and the rest of Killo Squad standing trial for transgression against the Coalition of Governments. The testimonies are being over seen by Colonel Loomis, a by the-books COG leader who accused the team of desertion, cowardice, trespassing, theft of experiment military tech and treason."

Ok heres what we got for MP. It's class based, Locust classes wretches, tickers, kantus , Grenadier mauler blood mounts, corpses and serapedes.

Cog classes are as follows.

Baird-engineer=Weapons: gnasher and blowtorch,Special abilities: sentry turret, tip: blowtorch repairs damaged fortifications
Cole-Soldier= lancer and boomshot, deploy ammo crates, toss amo to engineer to give him infinite blowtorch ammo
sofia- medic= lancer and snub pistol, stim gas gernade, toss gernade at downed allies to revive them
garron-scout= longshot and snub, beacon gernade, climb perches for better sniping leverage


And of of course overrun mode - cog vs locust. similar to DOTA or Team Fortress or at least takes a mod from.

Kilo Squad bios:

Damon Baird:

Before this sarcastic, genius mechanic went on to help Marcus Fenix save the world, Baird worked his way through the Gears ranks. He’s always quick to joke, but Judgment suggests there’s more to his character than being a comedian.


Augustus Cole:

A former Thrash Ball player turned soldier the "Cole Train" became famous in Sera for his on-feild performance and boisterous demeanour. Cole met Baird soon after enlisting, and the two quickly became best friends.

Garron Paduk:

A miltia refuge from the Union of Independent Republics. Garron comes from the other side of The Pendulum Wars. He brings a new perspective and brush personality to Kilo. Garron is the devil on Baird's shoulder that say's "Let's blow stuff up."

Sophia Hendricks:

A cadet from the onyx guard academy, she is more in line with colonel loomis by the book approach to combat. E-day halted her path to graduation from the academy, but she is still worth the soldier. She is the opposite of Garron, ready to suggest informing superior officers of every deviation from protocol.

Locust - OverRun mode

Wretch
Role: Leap over hazards, clim perches.
Special Ability: Stunning scream.
Tip: Travel in packs and stagger screams for maximum stunnig power.

Ticker
Role: Eat fortifications, eat grenades, detonate.
Special Ability: Speed boost.
Tip: Can be kicked over barriers by grenadiers.

Kantus
Role: Hammerburst rifle, heal friendly units, ride bloodmounts.
Special Ability: Chain heal.
Tip: Support valuable units like Corpser and Mauler with healing.

Grenadier
Role: Lancer rifle, Gnasher, ride Bloodmounts.
Special Ability: Frag Grenade.
Tip: Throw grenade at COG turret to cause deadly explosion near enemies.

Bloodmount
Role: Melee enemies/fortifications, be ridden by Grenadier and Kantus.
Special Ability: Halve the cooldown time on rider's special ability (passive)
Tip: Carry a mounted Kantus behind cover while his heal recharges.

Mauler
Role: Devastate fortifications and COG soldiers with flail and shield.
Special Ability: Spinning spike shield.
Tip: Aim the reticle at enemies while shield spins to deflect bullets back at COGs.

Serapede
Role: Eat through barriers, destory COGs, ranged support.
Special Ability: Spit poison.
Tip: Have two Serapedes overlap to protect one another's vulnerable rears.

Corpser
Role: Demolish fortifications and COGs with heavy melee.
Special Ability: Burrow and move underground.
Tip: Armored legs reduce damage from the front.

Kinda like a collectable their will be glowing objects spread out across the campaign, if you find one you can active a bonus objective, if you succeed in this objective you will be reward with a "declassified testimony" that will add more information that was previously unsaid. Ex: In a testimony Baird said Kilo was attacked by wretches. But if you succeeded in the objective he will add that they were glowing, had darker skin and exploded.

New Info

Coming Early 2013. STILL 3rd person. Other Multiplayer modes confirmed. None named yet.

I just got home from E3. There is a lot of pages of stuff here lol. Let me give you guys some info we learned while out there.

We talked to Quinn a lot about MP. This is Overrun he didn't want to give any details about other MP. Like whether all MP will be class based. So we are not 100% sure about any other MP at this point. The Soldier class will be tweaked for release. Staring with Boomshot is way OP. Our GCON team easily held off the Locust for the full 6 mins with the help from this class.

With Overrun they designed the maps with lanes like LoL. in a sense. Again Quinn didn't want to give details about other Game modes.

Overrun wasn't the full game mode at E3. It was a much condensed version so people could get thru it quicker and more people could play. The generator destroying is the last objective in the game mode. With other objectives needing to be completed to get to that point.

Release is suppose to be early 2013. I can easily see this being pushed to fall 2013 same as Gears 3. That is just me speculating thos.

We will have video, pictures, and a full article up on our site. Once everyone gets situated.

[Onyx Scott]

I thought a mod would have moved the original thread into this forum?

[Vexta]

Why didn't you ask Cher/Flak to move your old thread here ?

Good thread though, I'll be sure to come here everytime some new info is released.

[usf legend]

Wow new thread already! Can't Wait for Judgement!

[EddieFenix]

Do you guys want to keep the old one or have this one to start fresh with?

[Vexta]

Do you guys want to keep the old one or have this one to start fresh with?

Start fresh. The old one was slightly cluttered IMO.

[TAO Devil]

Start fresh. The old one was slightly cluttered IMO.

agreed .

[TwiStedxMind]

[II EVOL ONE II]

Nice thread....

[TheGnasherBeast]

Ah sweet

[Mr Shabba Dabba]

Fresh. Wonder how long this thread will take to reach 1000+ pages haha.

[Onyx Scott]

Suppose its not a bad thing starting over. There's 1000+ pages in the other one lol

[TheGnasherBeast]

[EddieFenix]

Under the "articles" section, they have the - NEW! By them in the OP, my good man.

[Devious Sektor]

Looks like Garron is holding some spare change.

[War Pigs]

Any one have preorder ideas? or have they mentioned pre order exclusives?

[CARMINE COG]

Fresh Thread.

Nice job Eddie.

[Ant Heuser]

I'm in! Lolz

[Terra D Serph]

*falls to knees* NOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo. Lol I was posting less and less often anyways. I'm wondering what the record here for "most individual posts in a thread," though.

[Jim Tuna]

Inb4sticky

Anyways, yeah this is a nice clean slate.

I just realized there will be shotgun sentries o___0

Yeah, shotgun sentries are going to be cool. :P Especially for people who like to corner-pop.


I wonder if the Kantus will be able to hide under cover. I know they couldn't do it in Beast, but in Horde...there were a few times when I saw a Kantus take cover. It was very odd, seeing a 7/8 foot creeper suddenly condense itself to human waist-high cover.

[Mr Shabba Dabba]

I wonder if these sentries will have stopping power..

[Hazama]

I wonder if these sentries will have stopping power..

Scorcher Turret would glue Locust in place.

[mmartina]

just got my GameInformer with Cole on the Cover

[Fishead John]

Looks like Garron is holding some spare change.

He also looks like he's straight outta DM-Deck 16.

[taffenaff]

Kantus and Bloodmount and stuff dissapears for a while. comes "back" in gears 2 and Baird & Cole are like: What is that?
I don't like prequels

[Jilly McFillly]

The new turrets are pretty cool. What are they gonna replace the boomshot with in Overrun?

[bchaps]

So....I just made this thread:
http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/...y-Ideas-Thread

I'm not sure if it will be closed or what will happen.
I think it is a nice place to give suggestions.
--Check it out.

Oh, and this forum is much slower than the GoW3 one

[Coleyman]

Kantus and Bloodmount and stuff dissapears for a while. comes "back" in gears 2 and Baird & Cole are like: What is that?
I don't like prequels

I don't recall Baird and Cole ever being surprised at the presence of the Kantus and Bloodmounts in the Inner Hollows during Gears 2.

[III LYCAN III]

Any one have preorder ideas? or have they mentioned pre order exclusives?

I really hope they dont have pre order exclusive characters like Gears 3 did

[bchaps]

I really hope they dont have pre order exclusive characters like Gears 3 did

lol...you of all people

[III LYCAN III]

lol...you of all people

There were more exclusive pre order Gears 3 characters on Ebay/Traders than with people who pre-ordered

[Coleyman]

I really hope they dont have pre order exclusive characters like Gears 3 did

Wonderful irony.

[Jim Tuna]

I really hope they dont have pre order exclusive characters like Gears 3 did

If there are, can we expect giveaway?

[III LYCAN III]

If there are, can we expect giveaway?

If i can get hold of any easily then sure but i'm hoping that this time there will be no pre order characters

[bchaps]

If i can get hold of any easily then sure but i'm hoping that this time there will be no pre order characters

I'm hoping for a pre-order character.
--but only 1

I'm hoping that there is a character for pre-ordering, but it is the same no matter where you order.

I do want there to be many different exclusives though...but not from purchase.
-I want many unlocks from doing things in other games

[iLuke]

lol...you of all people

Word lol.

Lycan gave away so many codes I believe he should have a say if pre-orders are a go, don't do it EPIC.

Lyan does not approve.
