@xCharlieSheen:  
I definitely got a little of that vibe myself unfortunately.  I was LARGE into GoW 1, and couldn't have been more disappointed by what they did to the 2nd.  The smoke/stun bomb, plus the ability to plant grenades as prox mines were just terrible ideas.  I was an annex junkie, and when they put on execution rules, it just ruined it for me.   It sucked all of the strategy and team coordination out of it.

Game looks fucking great. Glad that Epic is paying attention to this beta, too.

@xCharlieSheen:  Ok, found the video and you are right about that. Sort of a weird feature, though I guess I understand why they did it, and it only last for your first ten kills. Ultimately, I doubt it will make any difference if you're seriously invested into the mulitplayer.

I'd love to get into the beta, but Projectile Hurricane was just a rental for me. 
I could buy the game just to get into the beta, but that would be dumb, right?

Weapon balance was never something that Gears did right, let's see if they fix it.

@Slaker117:  Sure, IGN Cliffy B interview, back in October. Easily found on youtube or IGN. "New players will have training wheels" My wife will probably even be able to get a few kills.

That sounds like a really stupid idea. Could you point me to some sort of official conformation of that? I'm having a hard time believing it.

@Andorski:  I'm pretty good at Gears 2 multiplayer; but I won't lie it is still a shotgun fest, same as the first. I think players glow, every time you press the left bumper, no matter what mode. Epic has already stated, they want everyone in on this game. If you have little to no achievements from gears1 or 2. You are given an advantage when you start out in Gears 3 multiplayer. Your weapons do extra damage, and your tougher to kill than everyone else. Pretty much host advantage.

Trying to make everyone happy never works. I'm worried when I see COG players glowing blue, and the Locust glowing red. Also new weapons, where accuracy doesn't matter. What's next? Mario as a downloadable character. "
I'm not getting that impression.  As for players glowing different colors, that is a benefit of being the captain in one of the modes (I believe the one where each team is trying to take down the other captain).  I think a lot of the changes being made in the game are all done due to balancing.  I didn't play much of Gears 2 after it was released, but Gears 1 was a shotgun-fest.

If this game still possesses no verticallity and the bland as shit colour palette, I'm really not interested.  Gears two was really fun online and playing horde mode, but the single player portion was absolute shit.  Story was terrible and basically consisted of you running from forced cover to forced cover that all just happens to be the same height.  They could seriously take some lessons from vanquish.
 
Still, I really hope this game deilvers or else my xbox won't be seeing much use this year.

The only thing I don't like about the Gears of War multiplayer is how it's a you die and you're out until the next round. I like dying and getting back into the action within a few seconds.

The game looks really great.  Animation is super smooth, the textures are really detailed, and the color palette is a lot more... colorful.  I've never played a Gears game, but there's a lot to like about the presentation here.
 
Oh, and I seriously didn't know they changed from Epic MegaGames to Epic Games.  i'm a little saddened.

I really hope that matchmaking by skill works, I would love to play  Gears multiplayer and not get my ass whooped every time.  One of several reasons I have yet to get into Gears of War multiplayer.  Great interview!

@MordeaniisChaos: I feel the reason this looks so good is because it's more stylized. In Killzone 3 they really focused on making it SO realistic that there's a sensory overload and it loses some of the personality that would come from picking and choosing what to make players focus on about the art direction. 
 
It's the same reason that old games for the SNES are so charming to look at still, because everything about the art direction was done to make the images as striking as possible. 
 
Personally, I think Killzone 3 looks better than this, but I can definitely understand where you're coming from.
