Rumor is Epic will anounce a new Gears at Monday's Microsoft E3 conference.

Looks like it's going to be developed by the team that made Bulletstorm.

Gears of War: Judgment will feature class based multiplayer and a campaign set 15 years before the events of Gears of War.

That’s according to Game Informer, the latest issue of which carries an exclusive reveal for the People Can Fly developed project.

Playing multiplayer as a COG you can either be an engineer, a soldier, a medic or a scout. Each of the classes is a speciality of one of the characters in the game.

Damon Baird is the engineer, carrying a Gnasher and Blowtorch. He can deploy sentry turrets and repair damaged defences. Augustus Cole, meanwhile, is the soldier, armed with a Lancer and a Boomshot. He can deploy ammo crates and can top up the engineer's Blowtorch ammo.

The other characters are Sophia Hendricks and Garron Paduk. Hendricks is the medic, armed with a Lancer and a Snub pistol, as well as Stim Gas grenades. Her ability is to use grenades to revive downed team mates. Paduk, meanwhile, is the scout, armed with a Longshot and a Snub pistol, as well as a beacon grenade.

The Locusts carry different skills and abilities. The Wretch can leap over hazards, the Ticker can eat defences and grenades, the Kantus can heal teammates, the Grenadier specialises in grenades, the Bloodmount specialises in melee, the Mauler carries a shield, the Serapede provides ranged support and the Corpser can move underground.

There new mode is called Overrun and is inspired by Team Fortress and DOTA. You get two timed five-vs-five rounds with one side defending objectives. In the case of the COG, you have to protect two sealed Emergence Holes and a Hammer of Dawn beacon.

Unsurprisingly, character progression and levelling up plays a part.

The campaign itself is set 15 years before Gears of War, following Baird and his squad as they stand trial for transgression against the Coalition of Governments. apparently, the squad are accused of desertion, cowardice, trespassing, theft of military tech and treason by COG leader Colonel Loomis.

The setting is Halvo Bay. It’s the home of the Onyx Guard Academy and is inspired by San Francisco.

I can't believe there isn't a trilogy bundle for Gears.

I'm going to go ahead and get this. Just so I can play with my old gears crew. Weezy, his brother and his brothers friends(Crimson, Choppy, Dog and others).

Any of you going to get it? Ludo, killer, ali?

Negative. Ya'll pretty much abandoned Me in Gears 3 after a few months(kind of like with Halo 4). I put it down for a few weeks at one point and just couldn't get back into it. That, to Me, is a sign that it's not going to be worth jumping into this rushed out prequel to the prequels. Maybe I'll get it a few months down the line.

I played the shit out of GOW 3. I think I played it more then all the other games I have played in the last year combined. I did leave for BF3 while others were still playing but I played GOW 3 alot. I wasn't going to get this new one since there is almost no hype around it compared to the last game which had insane hype. So I don't expect much out of this game. But I still have a ton of people on my friends list that will be getting this game so I'll go ahead and get it.

That's a lie I begged you to get Halo but you choose to wait.

I might try and rent Judgement but I am saving my dough for Bioshock:Infinite.

I have never played Halo 4 or Halo 3.

I waited less than two weeks! And then in just a few days you stopped playing halo 4 completely.

I preordered mine yesterday. They have added game modes and weapons, looks like it will be fun.

IGN gave it a 9.2 damn I was expecting an 8. It's on my rental list so it's up to them to send it out to me or not.

I didn't expect much from this game considering how there was no hype behind it at all. GOW 3 had a ton of hype and was talked about for months before it's release.

They made some major changes to this game, atleast in multiplayer.

No Active Reloads- it still has the reload bar but all it does now is make you reload faster it no longer gives you bullets any extra power.

Grenades- Now you start off with your choice of smoke, ink, frag or the newest nade that will heal anyone in the area you throw it. Also now you use LB to throw a frag and you can quick throw instead of winding up like before. You can no longer stick nades on the walls either and the only way to stick someone is throw it at them and if it hits them it will stick to them.

You start with 1 gun and a pistol- You can start off with any of the main guns, gnasher, sawed off(now has 2 in chamber before reload) retro, lancer. However you can pickup any gun that is on the ground and you can drop your pistol to pickup any gun. But now you start with less ammo but ammo packs are everywhere on the maps.

It's now Red vs Blue, no longer humans vs locus- takes a bit to get use to but the teams are no longer race vs race it's now just blue team vs red team. They also have skins you can unlock that go on your armor as well as your guns.

You can now jump down levels- You will take some fall damage on bigger falls but now you can jump down off any edge which makes getting around easier. Also makes you have to pay attention because people just pop over walls.

Weapon changes- They have a couple new weapons. One is kind of like a mid range sniper that has a decent zoom. Then you have another sniper variation that has no zoom but all the power. You have a badass gun called a volcan you can pickup that is like a more mobile version of the grinder from previous games. They have a gun called a booshka that is like a grenade launcher that allows you to bounce it off walls and stuff.

Change in Game Modes- No more king of the hill. Now it's more like domination, you have 3 rings instead of just 1. Pretty much exactly like domination.
The added variation of Horde called Overrun that is currently my favorite. Unlike Horde you are playing actual people. This mode is humans vs locus and you will switch sides after rounds. This mode has classes and it's pretty fun. Depending on which class you pick you will have 2 guns and a special. You have 1 area that the humans try to protect and they have barriers and 1 of the classes allows you to setup sentry guns. The locus have to destroy the barriers and then destroy the guarded area. Once you destroy that it pushes them back to a new area. There are 3 areas total if you make it that far.
The added Free for All, no description needed.
Team Deathmatch is now first team to 50, no death limit.
There is still Horde mode but now it's called survival.

That's all that comes to mind for now. It takes some getting use to. A couple of my gears buddies are super pissed about the changes. It's different but still fun IMO.

Picked it up after work just now. Gonna start My play through.
