Gears of War 3 is fastest pre-ordered Xbox 360 title ever

http://www.oxm.co.uk/28550/news/gears-of-war-3-is-most-pre-ordered-xbox-360-title-ever/

Can't wait for September.

not surprising.

Considering the beta being robust and a looker :P

GEOW isnt my cup of tea altho i do enjoy it co-op i dont think i'll buy it day 1.

That's insane. I was expecting it to say exclsuive somewhere because of the yearly CoD games. I've never been a fan of pre ordering so many months in advance. I'll pre order mine around late August.

More than CoD and Halo? Wow.

not surprising the game looked great and while some of the mechanics pissed me off its single player will be amazing just like 1 and 2's.

Considering it is selling faster then Halo 3, Reach, any of the COD, GTA , ect that is something. Seriously it has faster preorders then games that are well known to get tons of preorders.

sawwed off should have been truely made hit or miss it has downing abilities a weapon that is coined as you have to be point blank shouldn't have that way too many times Id get downed or downed others at range. Dedicated servers should have been at the forefront I played 1 dedicated server game the day the beta opened for bulletstorm epic edition owners after that they ran the game p2p completely. Plancer *retro lancer* had way to much accuracy in blind fire. Mantle kick has an area of affect to it I had people mantle kick next to me and with me away from cover and it would still connect As well mantle kick has preference for those going into cover over those that are in cover already. Incendiary grenades when tagged on walls are completely worthless.

There are quite a few other things I had problems with and I know its a beta butI was simply laying out the mechanics that pissed me off..and epic is known to take a while to fix things and has never been capable of good netcode.

Anyone actually surprised by the lone AAA title in the 360's 2011 exclusive lineup selling well? I didn't think so.TruthBToldShow

Gears always sells well.

All we keep seeing is multiplayer and I could care less about that. I pre-ordered the 2 Gears... But this one I will not. Because they showed me nothing to peak my interest.

I just get thing feeling SP is gonna suck since they have been hiding it.

MODERN WARFARE 3 will destroy Gears 3.

um gears 1 and 2's singleplayer didn't suck why would 3's?

WilliamRLBaker

Because they been putting so much focus on the MP this time around. That's all they seem to talk about and show. I just wanna see some new SP content.

All we kept hearing about Gears 2 is the story was sooooo much better and it would make you cry. Now it's MP is sooo much better you'll have more fun.

Yeah even though they had a demo at last years E3.

Grawse

I sure hope so, because I really have very little interest. I wanna see something sooo awesome it puts Gears 1 and 2 to shame.

[QUOTE="TruthBToldShow"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] lone AAA title? um kay...WilliamRLBaker

Then hold my hand. Tell me how I am giving false information. Tell me what 360 exclusive, possible AAA, title you are excited about in 2011. Fantastic Pets?TruthBToldShow

I'll tell you mine. Forza Motorsport 4.

[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"][QUOTE="TruthBToldShow"] You not following?TruthBToldShow

Forza 4 Baby !!! :P

except they had a demo of it at e3 last year so you can see the single player there so its not all multiplayer which of they've been talking...wait how are they putting more focus on multiplayer this time around? because they had a beta? They've had as much singleplayer footage and information in magazines and online as past games and as much multiplayer...maybe you should follow things a little better...

WilliamRLBaker

Yes, I seen the e3 demo... It's the same game with new enemies.... I didn't see anything like OMFG worthy.

Just about every preview they give they always talk about MP. How they tweaked the MP even more and that there isn't gonna be all the issues this time around.

[QUOTE="TruthBToldShow"][QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"] I'm not able to follow false information sorry...the concept escapes me.SecretPolice

Forza 4 Baby !!! :P

:lol: Forza 2.7 has no possibility to get AAAAEkuraimen

It has AAAE on lock though. Unlike... well any Sony racing franchise this gen.

Nice, after the beta im pretty sure the game wont desappoint :)

Well, Epic already said that the campaign will be bigger and will support 4 player coop! Also, unlike Gears 2, Gears 3 is having a 3 year devtime. I believe it will be a very complete and polish package.

Holy crap even more than halo? Haha well I one of thoses pre-orderes.
