According to Edge-Online's unnamed source, the following new gameplay features will be added to the as-yet-unannounced sequel Gears of War 3.
- Underwater missions.
- Mech suits that can be used offensively and defensively
- COG explosives that travel underground to take out enemy cover spots.
- Locust enemies with tentacles that extend to player cover spots.
According to the rumor, all of the new wrinkles in the Gears of War universe will be available in both single and multiplayer modes.
The above story is simply rumor, so keep that in mind, but if seems like at least a realistic direction for the series to go. Ordinarily, I hate almost all underwater levels, but I have a feeling that if Gears 3 does have beneath-the-sea sections, Epic will have re-imagined how that sort of combat can work in a game, much like they did with above-water combat in the first two games. There are a lot of unexplored possibilities, no doubt. Plus, given how Gears 2 ended, with the sinking of the last human city, it makes sense.
Using computer technology and various Eastern fortune telling devices, TheFeed has concluded that this rumor is 70 percent likely to be true.

ok ten bucks says the next carmine takes a chainsaw up the ass! ok under water if done correctly awsome, mechs maybe awsome again pending how they work, cog under ground drilling mines (has to b a drill if they travel), locust with tentacles its jsut gonna b fun to saw em up and make some sushi. anyway as long as they fix the matchmaking system and stop sticking me a 53 with two lvl 3's a 14 and 22 now thats somethign that needs to be fixed. that and the multiplayer needs to b tweaked because im tired of actaully getting around the corner and that one bullet still clips me in the ankle. and last but not least FIX THE DAMN HAMMERBURST! 5 active reloaded shots and ur down? way the hell overpowered especially when the old one actually had good strength and was three round burst.

+ Underwater missions..
..Ohh maann..Wonder what X-Play & Feedback will say about this...
Probably a submarine version of the Centaur tank or something..in terms of executing an underwater mission. Otherwise, I can't see them doing 'em with just being on foot/swimming around.
We'd certainly need new gear & weaponry.
+ Mechs..
..Seriously? I hope thats just in campaign.
Otherwise, with the current way multiplayer is, it'll totally ruin the whole gameplay experience.
Though if they change things up, I'll totally understand the collaboration with Lost Planet 2.
But in terms of providing both offense & defense cover, they could've just given us the Butcher's machete, along with the Mauler's shield, and we would've been set with that.
+ Subterranean (homing?) explosives?
..Totally siiiick. Where was this in the 1st two games??
And..does it take out the COVER or the Locust BEHIND the cover??
If it takes out the cover, then I can only assume that cover will be fully destructible now.
+ (Homing?) Hookshot tentacles??
Either its used to reach you, or used to kill you (or both).
And I can't imagine if this is gonna be from some normal Locust enemy or a Boss of sorts.
They still have to cover the whole deal with the Sires, the Imulsion infecting the Locust, and the remainder of the uninfected Locust, along with their queen. Plus Adam Fenix.

I love the Gears campaigns but they really need to fix the multiplayer, MP in Gears 2 was a complete embarrassment.

underwater missions make sense. In the newest novel, the population of Jacinto relocated to an island chain.

I told myself I wouldn't buy this game if the multi-player did not have dedicated servers to alleviate the host advantage.
I find that franchise is like an abusive spouse, it beats me into a pulp and happens to be one of the few games where I rage to no end. However I find myself unable to quit playing it.

All this means nothing if they don't hire a writer who can come up with a remotely logical story and character dialog that doesn't sound like a bad '80s action flick.
I've always thought Gears had enourmous potential but was crippled by horrible storytelling,
Notice, its not that the idea behind the story is bad, its just that they suck at telling it.

Is it just me or am i the only one that is not looking forward to this game Gears of War 2 sucked so bad and the original was acceptable
DMXavier
Seeing as how the last book left off with them living at the old naval base and they got there using a SUBMARINE, I think it will focus on the current battle with the stranded on the other side of the island and the remaining Flood.......I mean Locust that are looking to a dry place to spend the night.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone saw this in Lost Planet 2 using the Gears of War character skins and through it was Gears 3.

Well, as long as Gears 3 isn't the bug-infested crap that was Gears 2 (until the 3rd update), I'm all for it.

Underwater levels would be interesting for us but bad for Marcus and Dom what with that big fish you fought in the Gears 2 underground. Wonder if theres more?
