There's a new rifle called the Pendulum Airlancer that has a bayonet. A Gnasher execution involves neck snapping while reloading. This has an incredibly wide blast at close range but reloads slowly. That double-barrelled shotgun we mentioned earlier this month is the sawn-off Gnasher shotgun. They'll need to work together to open doors, hold back fencing and even fire super weapons.Īnd they'll have a beefed up arsenal. Baird, Cole and Anya will be playable, as will newcomer Jayson Stratton. Thankfully, Gears of War 3 introduces co-op for four people during the campaign. One mutation has them grow in height and gob chunks of emulsion another has their arms stretch and flail another turns their legs into trunks to spawn Polyp and yet another has their head detach and write on the floor breathing fire.

These apparently look a bit like Locust Drones, only with glowing limbs. But they'll be the least of your worries the Lambent Drudges are much tougher.

Polyp are fast, scuttling creatures that will be hard to hit. Reunited, the pair soon run into Gears of War 3's new enemy, the Lambent, as gigantic stalks burst out of the water and spew Polyp onto Raven's Nest. Hero Marcus Fenix moves through the decks looking for old friend Dom Santiago, who he finds watering his plants. Gears of War 3 takes place 18 months after Gears of War 2, and begins on a huge naval carrier called Raven's Nest that has turned to a refuge for remaining dregs of humanity. There'll even be Unreal-inspired mutators available for co-op games that might swell heads to ridiculous levels or add another variable to the formula, according to GamesRadar's latest preview. In Gears of War 3 you'll be able to perform flying-kick take-downs directly from cover, and there'll be a new Arcade mode with a HUD that tracks score, multipliers and your teammate's location.
