Datoen klar for «Gears of War 3»

Epic og Microsoft har spikret datoen for «Gears of War 3»-slippet: 20. september 2011.

Microsoft feirer nyheten med en pressemelding full av ord og uttrykk som «glorious», «this year’s biggest blockbuster», «most memorable sagas in video games’ history» og «enthralling cinematic story».

Nå vel... «Gears of War 3» er i alle fall en stor spillutgivelse, som vi vet mange ser frem til. Her er Microsofts offisielle punktliste over hva vi offisielt kan glede oss til:

• An enthralling cinematic story that captivates players in an intimately intense action game
• Five-on-five multiplayer experience as well as four player campaign co-op experience
• New multiplayer game modes including ‘Beast Mode’ – offering a new twist to the game where you take on the role of the locust horde and their assorted variations!
• New maps including: Trenches which features an impressive sand storm that reduces your visibility, as well as Overpass, Mercy, Checkout, and Thrashball.
• New weapons including: The Bayonet Charge, The Retro Lancer, The Sawed-off Shotgun, The OneShot – a heavy sniper rifle that shoots through shields or cover for a surprise one shot kill, The Incendiary Grenade, The Digger Launcher and a few subtle tweaks to old favourites Hammerburst and The Classic Lancer. And don’t forget that each weapon now has its own execution move!
