Gears Of War 3 First Details

4 player co-op and new guns detailed:

The first proper Gears of War 3 gameplay details have been revealed, via a Cliff Bleszinski interview with MeriStation.

Our mate Cliff has confirmed that the third game will sport four-player co-op, an intertwining story and lots of new guns.

"One of the other things we're doing in the campaign that's cool is switching up the story a little bit," he said.

"At some point in the campaign you're not going to be Marcus and Dom - you're going to be another squad and you're going to experience their section and then eventually you're going to see some overlap and eventually they'll merge Pulp Fiction style, which is one of the cool ways that we're playing with the story this time.

"I can confirm today that we are doing 4-player co-op in the story mode," he added. "In Gears it's not the same as in other games because you're getting a story-based mode and in Gears 1 and 2 player one is Marcus and player two is Dom.

"The only way to play as Dom in the campaign is to be player two. That cascades down to players three and four; so if you want to play as Cole or Baird in the campaign, the only way you can do that is by playing three or four-player co-op."

Bleszinski explained that the third game takes place 18 months after the events of Gears of War 2, when nobody seems to know where the evil Locust Horde have disappeared off to and a new threat, the mutated Lambent are lurking in every corner.

On the weapon front Cliffy's confirmed the Pendulum Lancer - a precursor to the famous chainsaw version that "kicks like a mule" when fired and sports a nasty blade on the end for gruesome execution kills - of which Gears 3 will sport many more.

"We're looking at a double-barrel shotgun, we're looking at female Gears, we're looking at bringing back old maps - I can't confirm any but I can confirm that we will see some favourites returning," he said.

"We definitely want to improve players' ability to play with their friends and stick together as a party. We haven't announced how we're doing that yet but we definitely have plans for that."

Cliffy also promised improved lighting, a refined cover system and new moves for the third game.​

Id pretty much guarantee multiplayer achievements will return. Only games that have a vast unlock multiplayer system dont include achievements in multiplayer as the Challenges for XP and unlocks take their place.
