Gears of War 3 Beta

[phil-sti]

anyone playing?

what are your opinions?

[GT Kodiak]

How did you get it?

[XMG5]

I thought it wasn't available until 24 April for some users and 27th for most?

[Shinobi]

Dave has been on this week playing it, I was very jealous.

Anyone who bought the Epic edition of Bullet Storm has it unlocked now and pre-order beta keys come out next week. I've heard from some mates it's the most fluid playing Gears yet.

st I bought Epic edition of Bullet Storm and didn't realise I could be accessing GoW3 beta now.

I got it with bulletstorm. Very enjoyable but I've always played horde multiplayer on gears. The retro lancer is very cool

[RemaL]

played it last Thurs at the gadget show. Looks good and plays well. really enjoyed it but only had limited time on it

[phil-sti]

I'm starting to settle on it now and enjoying it. i'm unlocking more characters as well.

I really hope they balance the shotgun a bit more... it's way WAY too powerful at the minute

[GT Kodiak]

Tried playing last night but found noone to connect to

[phil-sti]

Shotty is a tad powerful.

My lad pre-ordered GOW3 through Game on the understanding that this entitled him to a beta code but there's no sign of it appearing - any thoughts/advice ?

TIA

Bump

Has anyone here received a beta code from Game ?

I'm going to pop into the brance I ordered to see what the crack is. Will report back fellow Cogs.

Well, went to Game and spoke to someone who possibly could have cared less about his job and he informed me that if you pre-order it you do get a Beta code but they only have so many..

They had given them out by the time I went in, lovely. They don't hold them for you they just give them to who ever goes in first.

We ordered online which presumably makes it even less likely one will appear. I sent an email query in to Game but no reply yet, surprise surprise

I see there's a few of them up on eBay so may give that a bash...

You might have a better chance if you ordered online tbh, I checked the website but they have removed all trace of the Beta now so no luck for me.
Shame I have have heard great things about it.

[phil-sti]

yep it is very good, we now have 4 maps for the 2nd week and 2 different game types

Got a code from eBay for £12 so junior is up and running now
