Gears of War 3 beta 'around April'

[Dark Drakan]

According to Epic Games president Mike Capps after the issues that Gears Of War 2 had online after having no Beta Epic want to avoid making the same mistake again. ​

We've been saying spring, My guess is it will be sometime around April or so. It's going to be early enough so it really impacts Gears [of War 3's] development, but we want to make sure everyone has the chance to play Bulletstorm before they jump right into the beta. I think everybody knows we had some multiplayer stability issues with Gears 2 multiplayer out of the box. While we fixed those later, the opportunity to be really, really sure that our new dedicated server infrastructure is going to be operational on day one with Gears 3 was totally worth the time to make the beta.

Gears Of War 3 is set to release in Autumn 2011 after being delayed from its April release.

Funny that the beta comes out when the game was supposed to.

Guess they considered the irony and are at least letting people play a portion of the game when it was originally planned.

At least they have half a brain.

They're still stupid.

Whatever.

I dont mind a delay, gives them time to iron out bugs and fine tweak anything that needs doing before release. Plus im going to have loads of games to get through after Christmas and still got some to finish as it is.
