Gears of War 3 will be the next release of the storied Gears of War franchise that was supposed to be released on April 2011 but has been delayed. This game is now slated to be released on September 20, 2011. This will be the third installment of the Gear of War series and will wrap up the storyline.
Gears of War 3 is a 3rd-person shooter video game that was created by Epic Games and released exclusively for the Xbox 360 console with Microsoft Games Studios. For the first time since this series has been released, the game will feature a four-player co-op. Certain parts of the game also allow players to utilize fully controllable mech suits which are called silverbacks and are equipped with a rocket launcher and machine gun.
This latest release can be played in two operating modes. The assault mode will let you play by controlling the characters movements in a normal way, while the stationary mode is played with the character locked into a position with armor and cover.
The Gears of War 3 game will feature new enemies to battle with which include Locust and Lambent enemies. The new cast of Locust enemies include the Digger Boomer, the Kantus Knight, Savage Grenadier, the Locust Siege Beast and the return of the notorious Berserkers. New Lambent enemies include Lambent Stalks, Polyps, Drudges and Lambent Berserkers.
To help you defeat these powerful enemies, there are new additions in the weaponry which include the Digger Launcher which launches tiny digging creatures through the ground at very high speeds and then explodes. Other weapons include the Incendiary Grenades, the Sawed-off Shotgun, the Retro Lancer which is a lancer that has a bayonet attached to it, and the One Shot weapon which will enable you to kill multiple enemies in just one shot but is very heavy to carry and will slow you down.
Female contingents of the game will be happy to know that this game features there are three new female playable characters that will be introduced which are Anya Stroud, Samantha Byrne and Bernadette Mataki who is a character from the novels by Karent Traviss. The new playable characters for the 3rd instalment of this game will also include Griffin, the group leader of the Stranded which is a band of human survivors, and Jace Stratton who is an experienced soldier in battles which was already featured in the comic series and was mentioned in the previous game. Griffin will be voiced by Ice-T, the actress Claudia Black will do the voice for Samantha and the actor Michael Bakari Jordan will provide the voice for Jace.
Gears of War 3 also has a new mode called Beast mode. It is similar to the Horde mode that was in Gears of War 2 but the difference is that the players will attack COG members as a Locust creature. Players earn tokens each time enemies are killed which will in turn allow the players to upgrade their characters into a stronger Locust class. There are several known Locust classes which include the Tickers, Boomers, Digger Boomers, Wretches, Butchers, Berserkers, Kantuses and Kantus Knights. The creators of this game have also kept Horde Mode in the 3rd installment of the game.
The story for the game was written by acclaimed science fiction writer Karen Traviss. The story will answer the major questions that players have been trying to find answers to since the first game came out, including the history of the world and the things that are going on. The beginning of the story is set 18 months after the fall of Jacinto. The Gears have already moved to the island of Vectes. The Cog has already been disbanded and Sera's cities were infected causing the members of the Locust to mutate and become Lambent.
