Probably a dumb question but who exactly is getting Gears of War 3 on Tuesday? And if so when are you picking it up, Midnight or during the day? Or if not when?
My got my copy with release date delivery from Amazon so it wont come until sometime during the day Tuesday. So I wont be able to play until I get home from work.
Probably start on the campaign on normal and when more people get on later I'll be down for some Horde 2.0 and Beast Mode and everything else.

I WAS going to pick it up at midnight, turns out I've got bronchitis so I'm skipping picking it up (I ordered 2 copies, forgot about going to the store and pre ordering when I bought Bulletstorm.)
Was going to cancel the order from my online purchase till I got sick, so... I should have it sometime Tuesday afternoon.

im off tomorrow to take my CPT exam... and then going to do some prep work for Gears 3... AKA take a nap... then going to head over to Gamestop for 10:30... and converse with the nerds for 2 hours...
I should be on sometime after midnight... and then most of the damn day... if only to take a break to grab my paycheck and head to the bank and then grab some snacks.

I won't be picking this up probably for a while. Have kid number 2 on the way late novemberish. Never reserved the game and don't have the extra money for this and more money for gold. Which expires in about 2 weeks. Mauer if I come into some money I will get both though not likely for the time being. Looks like I'll be sticking to killing chimera over horde.

Well I blame Sokar for me missing the midnight launch. You just had to put "Tuesday" in your thread title didn't you....  and due to this I got my dates mixed up...so no limited edition for me, or a chance to win a $1000 Lancer...  But my girlfriend thanks you. Oh well I got the game and one of the controllers, and thats good enough. My only gripe with the game would be "Beast mode" it's a little on the short side. |

Beast mode is a LOT a bit on the short side... when you play it alone.
its worse when you have more players...
It took me about an hour and a half, on casual, by myself, mostly because I had no idea how to play it.
I then played it again with Sokar last night, and if it wasn't for us just fuckin around, we probably could have beaten it in 20 minutes.
My guess, is that with 5 players, we could probably beat it on INSANE with out missing a round...
and I am now on Level 1-5 in the campaign... so try not to spoil the story...

Game is good. Still trying to get over the feeling like I played it all before (probably from playing the first two so much the past week or so.)
Beast mode is pretty fun but it’s really short and seems like the novelty will be gone after a few play throughs. Once you get the Berserker you just plow though everything with ease. You do get to see how well the higher level defenses help against the bigger enemies though. Will like to see some expansion here with the DLCs.
Horde is alright. One thing I do like about it is that it sets it up so that you really can’t take on the higher waves until you have higher level defenses. So it looks like no finishing all the waves in a week. I’d rather just play 1-10 and work on ranking up my defenses now than sit playing a high level and keep dyeing all night (unless trying to work out all the waves later down the road.)
Campaign is pretty good. Not sure what I think about certain things (wont go into since some aren’t done yet). I do wish I didn’t know about the collectibles or COG tags. I find myself spending all my time looking for them and less on actually playing. Hopefully that changes when I get the strategy guide today. (I know n00b but the Limited Edition is a nice hardback and was cheap on Amazon)
Hopefully get to play some actually multiplayer tonight and see more of the maps. I loved TDM or whatever it was from the beta. No more play for 30 sec die then wait 15 minutes for the next round while someone sits and hides.

Beast mode takes around 20 - 30 mins on normal with a full house. Even as a Berserker I've been killed a few times. As for Spoilers I'm sure most here are pretty good about taking that into consideration when posting. However if someone really does feel the need to post one, don't forget we have a spoiler feature here for the forums (Please don't post a spoiler in the title of a thread BTW). EX: Dom likes it up the butt.  One other thing...Last night I was checking out the leaderboards and noticed 3 new maps being listed. I guess DLC will be hitting the markeplace rather soon.... |

We played through it the other night on Casual in 12:48
on Hardcore it was closer to 20:38 if I remember correctly.
