Gears of War 3 Horde Mode Tutorial Released

Gears of War 3 Horde Mode Tutorial Released

Anya walks us through what to expect

Written by Matrarch on 22 June 11 at 17:28

Epic Games has released a new video featuring a brief tutorial for Gears of War 3's Horde mode. Quite a few changes have come to the Horde mode since Gears of War 2, including the ability to build fortifications and earn money to buy weapon upgrades.

But enough reading, here's the video.



Gears of War 3 is set to launch worldwide on September 20th, 2011.

Thanks to all the members of the community who sent this one in.

CabbageWithPie - Could someone clarify for me, what the final decision was on Halo 2 (PC) achievements, could you use commands? Thanks :)

This looks great!
Glad to see a boss wave added on the tenth, should be interesting, especially the Berserkers.

Game play that I love? ummm not really. I only did it for the achievements.

I want to know more about Beast mode personally. But Horde 2.0 looks nice.

This just looks better and better each time I see it, the MP beta was great, the single player will be usual standard I assume and now this improved horde mode and beast mode as well means this will be good value for money and a contender for my game of the year

The only thing I didn't like is buying a life... Maybe it's ok if it's restricted to one buy-life a wave (or maybe 10 waves?) for each person. Otherwise it will turn to team deathmatch versus a bunch of bots... What others think about it?

Besides that Horde 2.0 looks great!
I would like to expand my TA friend list. So if you want - add me :D

Good to see that Epic aint resting on their laurels with Gears 3. Anything that increases the teamwork needed to get me and my mates through to the next wave is good in my opinion. Bring on the locust!!
Probably the best looking person with the gamertag "Crowbo 360" in the world!!

I'll be the one to agree with you as nobody else seemed to pick up on this. Personally I won't buy lives and I'll just spend it all on defenses such as walls and turrets, unless an achievement is involved of course. Otherwise it will be far too similar to team deathmatch only with the occasional bigger enemies.

Also, boss waves are a WIN. I'm glad to see all of these improvements to horde as it looks as if it will last longer than it did in gears 2, which got boring rather quickly. All of these improvements they are making with this game and what I've already played in the beta pretty much have me stoked for this game. Personal GOTY? Most likely. laugh
You seem a little furious...

i've always been competitive on gears 1 and 2, competing online and such, and I played horde on gow2 and enjoyed it for a little while, but would not want to do it ever again. but this.... this looks like you can play it anytime.... It looks as if it has a much larger replay value and looks very fun :)
