Epic: How we fixed Gears Of War 3 multiplayer, and why you'll be playing it for months

Cliff Bleszinski's never shy to tackle hot topics - but what really puts fire in his belly is Gears Of War 3.

And more than anything, the Epic design chief's wild about the multiplayer. He thinks his team, thanks to the fans, might just have got it spot on. And so far, we're inclined to agree.

That was a good read.

I wish it was September now.

AndrewRyan4714d ago

I was impressed by the multiplayer demo. Dedicated servers is what did it for me. Personally, in 2011+, I expect all games to have dedicated servers, it just adds to the experience a lot more.

Aarix4714d ago

Been playing gears 2 for over 28 months

no_more_trolling4714d ago

same here
been playing it since 2008

subtenko4714d ago

Ive decided not to get gears of war 3, but maybe I will rent it

2fk4714d ago

the beta was absolutely fun and i thought it was ready to ship out

gamingdroid4714d ago

I agree, the Beta was so good already it was ready for release except for stress testing their dedicated servers.

I can't wait for September to roll around. I will be there day-1!

Ive Was Never Interested In GeOW But After Watching Gameplay Of GeOW 3 OMG I love It Now

Good to know. It can't get any worse than the Gears 2 multi player. I could only stomach that multi player for two weeks and just gave up on it.

"We get teased about being 'innovative', and yet somehow the things we do keep winding up in other games. If I had a Google Alert for every time a game hard a 'Horde-like' mode... I'm fine with that - it's wonderful. But I have a feeling all the other Horde-like modes might start having fortifications after Gears 3."

Has Cliff ever heard of a game called COD: WAW zombies which released in 2008? It was "horde mode" before "horde mode" AND it had "fortifications" as well long before he put it in Gears 3.

disparage4714d ago

Gears 2 and WAW came out the same month and year.

your an idiot Gears of War 2 was released before COD
WAW lol.

also original zombie mode is different from Horde Mode.

Aarix4714d ago

Wow you are an idiot AND an a**hole. Nazi zombies and horde is different but you would know that if you actually played the game.

no_more_trolling4714d ago

i just wanna add my input also

idiot troll (police?)

JasonPC360PS3Wii4714d ago

At least people can go online to play Gears, don't have to worry about hackers shutting down Live.

DigitalRaptor4713d ago (Edited 4713d ago )

I wouldn't be so sure of that buddy.

Government agencies can be hacked, so I'm sure XBL will be at some stage.

palaeomerus4714d ago

Sorry dude, but no.

The earliest Horde-mode style gameplay I can think of offhand, where you hold off waves of enemies is Invasion mode in UT 2K3. Which Epic came out with sometime before 2003.

Gears Of War 3 And Judgement Servers Are Brimming With Life Once Again

I currently play Gears 3 often, especially after the 60 FPS Boost. Gears of War is my favorite gaming franchise, and the Locusts are the coolest faction in history. Gears Judgment will always be a disgrace for not having the Locust in VS multiplayer.

AuraAbjure335d ago (Edited 335d ago )

GoW 3 and Judgement were the last installments before the series went woke and soulless. I'm level 50 in GoW 3 and LOVE it's multiplayer to death. It's just so crispy.

My first thought. Deserved to be somewhere in there.

Vits495d ago (Edited 495d ago )

That is the most "normie" list that I ever saw. This does make some sense given the console in question, but still.

Tacoboto494d ago

Sure, the list itself sucks. But that click-saver table-of-contents, every list should have that.

BrainSyphoned494d ago

Might as well list it as the One's top twenty as well since all it had for games was backward compatibility.
