There has just been loads of Gears of War 3 news lately. That isn’t a complaint; just a mere observation.
Epic Games has announced a new versus game mode called the Alpha Playlist. The Alpha Playlist will take gamers back to the days of Gears of War 1, where there were only 4 players to a team and each player starts out with the Lancer and the Gnasher shotgun. The Alpha Playlist will be available for King of the Hill matches, as well as Execution and Team Deathmatch. Map weapons will also have faster respawn times.
In addition to the Alpha Playlist, Epic Games is also giving players two weeks straight of Double-XP. The double-XP will be available for all game types and will last until November 14th at 9:00 AM EST.
