Hopefully they release the other two maps that werent voted in for the beta.

xPhearR3dx5497d ago

Doubt it. I remember reading on Rod's Twitter saying they maxed out the beta at 4 maps and can't add anymore, or something close to that.

Bunny Ears again? Possible new game mode? Who knows.

omi25p5497d ago

they said it isnt bunny ears, They said its something much better.

xPhearR3dx5497d ago

Oh, than I would say a new game mode. On the Beta forums there's a huge thread of people wanting to test any none respawn game mode. So there might be a good chance of that. I guess we will find out tomorrow.

WetN00dle695497d ago

Here is hoping its not a non-respawn mode!
Im sick and tired of the fruity shotgun users as it is. Everyone INCLUDING Cliffy-B's grandmother shotgun spams in the GEARS 3 beta! And if it is a non-respawn mode, HOPEFULLY they remove the shotguns from it!

JeffGUNZ5496d ago

wetnoodle...Do you realize tha Gears of War 1 became the most played game online because of the gnasher battles? Being a good gnasher user is something that takes time and patience. When you get in a shotgun battle with the gnasher it's like a chess match. You have to anticipate the others movements and there shots. It's very intense.

Basically, Gears wouldn't be Gears without gnashers. Those people who are beasting you with the gnasher arn't lucky, they are skilled and have mastered the weapon since the early Gears 1 days.

should be something silly and completely unrelated to gears but maybe ill finally get back on that to see what it is

Dazel5497d ago

If it ain't Cliffy B's GF calling round and sitting on my face, I'm not interested. ;op

bangoskank5497d ago

Would be cool if we could play as the Locust Queen and Prescott. Would be even cooler if they brought Dizzy back.

IHateYouFanboys5497d ago

you can play as the locust queen and prescott - play capture the leader, and when youre the leader you are the queen/prescott.

on the topic, its obviously a new mode - "You will need updated playlists to see it". playlists are the modes that you choose between.

WildArmed5497d ago

Hot damn! I didn't know that.

That is pretty awesome.

bangoskank5497d ago

I didn't know that you had the option to be the leader in beta. Will try it later on.

Yeah, i read the article after typing my stupid post. The "playlist" hint means new mode.

JeffGUNZ5496d ago

You can't PICK to be leader. It usually starts from highest rank to lowest. They need to fix that and make it random.

Disney Should Buy Fortnite And Epic Games, Former Exec Says

The Walt Disney Company's new CEO, Josh D'Amaro, is a big fan of video games, and one former Disney executive believes D'Amaro would be smart to do even more in gaming going forward. This could include a buyout of a gaming company like Epic Games.

In an interview with CNBC, Kevin Mayer--a former Disney and TikTok executive who now runs Candle Media--said D'Amaro will need to take "bold steps" to help Disney make more money and grow its stock price. One part of this could be doing more in gaming, he said.

Apparently nobody remembers the absolute shitshow that happened when EA brought the Havok engine which was used as the default engine of the 6th generation like UE is used today.

SkilledGamer53d ago

You've got it wrong, EA bought Renderware not Havok. Havok was bought by Intel in 2007 and then Microsoft in 2015

Fishy Fingers53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Nor was it ever a widely used or considered, game engine, Renderware was. It was and still is a physics/material simulation plugin for the actual game engines.

Profchaos53d ago

Yeah you're right i was thinking of Renderware. But point still stands Renderware was used literally everywhere from games like GTA 3,VC,SA to Sonic games and Tony hawk it was really the default industry wide engine that UE is today.

If Disney takes over Epic and UE we could face a situation where they change the terms of use for other game devs big and small. They could remove the licensing agreements currently in place and impose a payment per download model like Unity did which could cripple the industry.

TOTSUKO53d ago

Fck Disney stock and their shareholders.

blacktiger53d ago

Well I can imagine DIsney with their transgender Snowwhite and black cinderally and mermaid and other garbage. Imagine video games lmao!!!

shinXseijuro53d ago

You sound like a fun person to be around .

Huey_My_D_Long52d ago

Dumbass cant even spell Cinderella but apparently he's upset by the 1997 Cinderella classic starring Brandy. Almost 20 year old movie.
Just say you dont like black people man, we all know it.

rlow153d ago

I really hope this doesn’t happen. They ruin everything that they buy. Terrible company

Zerobalance53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Trolling. Hope Disney take the Maval characters like Spider-Man and Wolverine away from Sony and make it themselves that would me laugh so hard.

"It is going to get so much worse in the video game industry...This will get worse and going to be bad and it's going to eventually get better." -Greg Miller right before it got worse

Agent7555d ago

Too many games, too many versions, download only games, game pricing, £700+ consoles, eye watering prices for controllers, four formats, gaming is one big mess.

gold_drake55d ago

id argue that epic games has alot of other revenue income other than fortnite, so their reasoning makes zero sense.
