Youtube link to HD video if anyone is interested... :)

Obviously everyone saw that Marcus ((like a bad ass)) is wielding a double-barrel shotgun...

... But I'm surprised to see that no one has mentioned that the weapon the blonde chick ((I agree with those theorizing that it's Anya)) hands to bearded-Dom is NOT a Lancer.

After watching the trailer several times, I'm sure of it. Rather than a chainsaw, it appears to be some sort of knife-like blade. I'm interested to see how that works in melee.

More info seems to be coming out. http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=723963

Haha, I wonder if we could have made a trailer with basically a slow camera pan down a new shotgun and had about the same amount of interest from existing players, hahha.
Cliff also confirms in the MeriStation TV interview (posted in the videos section) that the new shotgun does more damage but has a lower range and slower reload time.

Characters

* Dom is now heavily bearded. According to Rod, this is due to his problems dealing with the loss of his wife.
* Anya is the female COG soldier seen in the "Ashes to Ashes" trailer. We will learn more on her transition from pencil pusher to soldier throughout the books.

Enemies

* Lambent Locust: These enemies mutate and transform as you fight them.

What is the song being played?

Holy schnikies ... I think I just wet my pants a bit.

SUPER DOPE

wait till the lambent General RAAM comes back

sold only for the campaign.

What I find interesting is Dom's reaction to the Locust that's about to kill him. He doesn't show any intention of attempting to fight back or get away or anything. He just leans back and waits for the kill shot when Marcus saves him. I can see Dom sacrificing his life to save others in this game. His will to live is probably just about gone at this point.

A tad early to be making such an announcement, huh?

Yeah definitely the typical Gears commercial.

It kicked ass.

It's the flood! They are what's been driving the Locust from their homes and forcing them to invade the surface world, starting the war.

I really hope the fix the glitches in this game. I nearly quit while playing insane mode because of all the glitches at that giant fish in Gears 2. Ridiculous how poorly coded that game is. The tank driving part was atrocious as well.

He does seem like a complete pussy here comes femdom should be the title of that trailer

yea, so this was really just a sarcastic comment from me cause frat dudes pollute Gears of War. I usually just turn on music and no headphones, but I do enjoy all the feedback.

I predict that Anya dies. In front of Marcus. Dom and Marcus have something else in common aside from copious amounts of steroids. Guns blazing kamikaze mission ensues.

Midnight release party, here I come!

The day before my 30th birthday?!?!

Thank you so much, Epic. Fist bump, right here!

Damn, Dom is looking a bit grizzly in this one. Nice looking trailer though, can't wait. What's with all the ashy people though?

GET HYPE

The guy running with the lancer is not dominic santiago he is Marcus Brother

damn still gotta play the first 2 lol
