If you guys haven’t gotten your beta key yet, the site I used is still giving away keys. I don’t know if they have any left, but if you want to try your luck here’s the site:

Good luck and have fun!

But even then, Kill-Cam isn’t necessary, so I don’t think Epic needs to expend the effort to shoe-horn it in.

As for Theater Mode, that’s a REALLY complex thing to make. Epic has said they’re taking out the ability to make screenshots too, because this game is just so huge that they can’t add in something as unnecessary as Theater and Screenshots. I’ll miss the latter and hope for the former, but I don’t want Epic to lose disk space over something like this.

As for an option to quit… no. In Gears of War, where teams are very small and winning requires as many people as possible working all angles of the compact maps, having one or two players quit can just screw you over for the rest of the match. So giving people an easy option to quit? Hell no. Myself, half the games of Gears of War (both 1 and 2) I’ve ever played involved at least three people quitting by the end. Those were the good matches.

Now, there is Host Migration. It’s already in there. HOWEVER, it will never be used unless the Dedicated Servers go down. The Dedicated Server will be host 99.9%, probably 100% of the time.

There’s also no need for Report Player. The only thing you can report someone for in Gears of War is if they’re glitching or going outside the map. Since you have to have video-footage of the person doing glitching or going outside the map, Report Player would be useless. Also, Epic has added in kill-barriers that murder you if you step outside the boundaries of the map.

Now, as for the Assist thing, it’s already in there. However, the Assist goes to the guy who downed the victim. What I think should happen is that if you down someone, you get the kill no matter what, but the other guy gets all the XP from the execution plus the Assist points. However, you ARE killing the guy if you’re doing the execution, so common-sense says that even if you’re kill-stealing you’re still getting the kill. And I tend to let my teammates execute people, as I’m too busy killing the rest of the enemy team to stop for a moment.

Hit me up in the annex lobbys ;)

Do some god damn research..idiot.

listen, every other game on the market, has many of these features in there online game, it would be ashamed if gears 3 doesn’t

Gears would never be COD, i feel what the article is doing, gears 3 can’t be as simple as gears 2 with it’s multiplayer.

check this out:

Gears 3 will include true host migration, meaning that if the person who started the game decides to quit (probably because you’re beating them too badly), the game is designed to seamlessly choose another player to control the game without skipping a beat. -source ign.com
