Revealed also is the awesome digger launcher weapon, which fires subterranean ”piranha-like” critters to seek and devour. Plus new Locust.
While Cole and Baird are still part of Gears of War 3 they don’t seem to be accompanying you as a part of Delta squad this time around, as they get replaced by new blood Anya Stroud and Jace Stratton?
The mag piece also says that players can trade weapons with soldiers in the field, with the opportunity at one stage to use a pre-Pendulum Wars era Lancer, sporting a bayonet and packing close range rounds. That pales in comparison to the new digger launcher.
This new bad boy fires ”piranha-like creatures into the ground where they then seek and devour their targets,” says the Game Informer article, reports IGN. Also included are two new Locust foes; the grenadier and ”large, organic catapults”.
There’s a new Arcade mode included to so you can mess around with things like the game’s gravity and big head mode (aka Donkey Kong mode). Tons of stat tracking will be going on and you can compare how you measure up to your friends’ skills in sections of the game - which Epic included in their Xbox Live Arcade hit Shadow Complex.
For multiplayer - there’s a new multi-turret fixture that lets you attach your own weapons before you hit a button and they all fire in their various directions. Sounds great. Gears of War 3 releases exclusively on Xbox 360 April, 2011.
