The Gears of War 3 beta was just announced for “mid April” Â and a few other morsels that you may find interesting have also been announced. Â The Gears of War 3 beta will not be exclusive to Bulletstorm Epic Edition owners. Â The beta will be open to all of the Xbox Live Gold network on a first come first serve basis but a copy of the Epic Edition of Bulletstorm will guarantee you a spot in the test.
When the beta releases in April, you can expect three game modes, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, and Capture the Leader. Â There will also be four maps, Â two of which are still up in the air and being left to the vote of the community on the Gears of War 3 facebook fan page. Â And if you are really dedicated in playing the beta, Epic will be rewarding players who play a significant number of beta matches.
Gamers who play 70 or more matches in the beta will unlock the ability to use Cole Train in his Thrashball uniform. Â Gamers who play 90 or more matches in the beta will unlock a gold retro lancer.
