Ace trailer, but i fall for this every time with the GoW franchise, the trilers make the game look like this "epicly driven story" and what i get is usually as shallow as a puddle of piss (dont tell me to read the books)

Nice, nice.

Sucks I don't have an Xbox. Never had one.
Their orginal franchises (Halo & Gears) seem to be centralized on this common theme. And I don't find it all that appealing.
Besides, I've never approved of MS' dealings and ways in the gaming ind. ... Just a matter of principle I suppose.

And LOL. I just realized something. "Epic" games? And they're making a game with the same initials as the game that's the very definition of the word... heh. They better bring it. :P

Please. Never, EVER EVER EVER, read any game novelizations. Fuck, Metal Gear Solid left me wondering if it was meant as a parody. It was THAT bad. I endured because I told myself I was reading a Peter Chimaera spin-off.

The story is more than good enough to carry the game, but its the insane action and gamplay that make this one the most succesful franchises out there.

Halo: fall of reach
Halo: flood
Halo: first strike
Halo: ghosts of onyx

Most awesome things i have ever read in my life they was fucking AWESOME!

So i disagree with that :) but the gears story is not strong enough for me to want to know more (as in enough to make me read a book lol) halo was, warcraft was and Mass Effect was.

If Anya is a cog now we won't get any double fingers-on-ear ANYAAA yelling in Gears 3 :(

Hopefully she runs off into the distance often so Marcus still gets to yell AANYAA before talking about GIANT WORMS and stuff. Wouldn't be the same otherwise.

And really, story? That's what you guys have? Gears single handedly re-defined action games for this entire generation, aswell as probably re-defined the way third person games will be made for generations to come. It still has a cover system that other games are at least one series entry behind, with a flow and intuition to it that is ROCK SOLID and almost indefinitely master-able. Story is such a miniscule price to pay when something plays this well.

Simon dude... game play or not, the adverts do sell this epic story to you ...which it falls flat on, but the game play is excellent :)

Well they can't really trailer the gameplay and have the mainstream movie-going, telly-watching audience give a hoot. They have to at least pretend for 2 minutes that they have a story in there. :)

But using the same excuse as they used for the halo books and game story "not everyone has read the books and understands"

Cliff confirmed 4 player campaign co-op just now on Twitter.

Seems safe to assume Anya will be playable then. Excellent. :)

Fracking YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Simon

What i got from below is that you play as the original 4 delta squad (YESSSSSSSS i get to play as ColeeeeeTrain) and then a second squad most likely to have the femal COG?

Atmospheric like all the other gears trailers, sad that this will be the last one :(

EDIT: im seeing a pattern where in the trailers marcus and dom are always put in impossible situations, also if the blondie is there, hope they didnt kill baird or cole as those 2 are my fav characters
