Best non-GameStop retailer to preorder from that has a midnight launch? Best Buy is looking like the only option so far.

Campaign is a big dissapointing for me..Already in act 4....and...where is EPIC? Like riftworm in 2?? Geow 3 is all about shooting..nothing more

Well that's definitely good news for me...finished Gears 2's campaign for the third time yesterday with a friend after 3 years and I hated the boring "badass and EPIC" fillers like
the worm level, the skorge bossfight, the stupid and utterly ugly vehicle in the snow segment and of course riding the Brumak.

The only thing that I have still my doubts about Gears 3's SP is if fighting the Lambent Locust are taking too much of the campaign...fighting them does not seem to be as fun as fighting the regular locusts - in other words it's all about the gore.

You fight the glowies for 1/3rd of the campaign.

Cliffy, as the launch gets closer and closer to impact how do you feel the game will be received? Obviously the multiplayer will be a hit but more importantly how do you think the campaign from 3 compares with the previous 2?

I have been on media black out apart from visiting forums so it would be interesting to hear your personal view on how you feel Gears 3 will go.

What kind of answer are you expecting? Do you think he's going to tell you the campaign is "okay" or "it sucks" ? He'll give you his PR jargon talk of, "it's our longest and best campaign in a Gears of War game." Keighly got him to only say that the driving parts in the Gears games they could never nail, and so for this one they stuck with on rails vehicle sequences instead. It's his baby, and he'll tell you it's the best looking kid on the block even if it did have a snaggle tooth and a unibrow.

He's said that a few times in interviews. The team looks proud of their campaign, but hell they were proud of Gears of War 2's story as well, so take it with a grain of salt.

MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

You guys are so rucky. As a Gears fan I would be so amped for this if my system didn't croak. I was in line at midnight for Gears 2! Hopefully I will have a chance to play this one someday.

Did you really have to ask what answer I was expecting? Of course Im expecting a one sided PR hype up. The fact you even had to question the point of the question makes you an idiot. I think it would have been nice to have a post of his declaring how great he thought the campaign was and which parts (e.g Acts) he thought were his favorites.

But thank you for being Zlatko and spoiling it for everyone with your argumentative approach to posting.

We all know you have made a great game Cliff!

Yeah but unlike other Passes they haven't properly announced what type of DLC or dates.
I would buy for the savings if they let us know. I'm expecting to play this for a long time.

Um woah buddy. I wasn't trying to come off argumentative, sorry that you inferred it that way.

Thanks for calling me an idiot. :/ Sorry you got mad over nothing.

There's a way to get the Crimson Omen Lancer skin without having to buy the subscription pass.

I can't get this to work myself, probably because I live in Canada. If anyone manages to get an extra, I wouldn't mind taking one off your hands! :)

This works. I love you.

The Kinect training was killing me at first since I don't know jack about it, but the rest was pretty common knowledge if you know about the 360, which everyone here probably does.

Damn - it's asking me to verify my employment when I click the 'Get Weapon Code' banner. Blech. :/

Did you select Wal Mart as the employer?

Wal Mart is the only option that doesn't ask to verify employment.

The first time I did it I listed Staples, since I actually do work at Staples, but they asked to verify my employment and it says it could take five days. Since I'm an impatient bastard I just made a new account. But looking at their points system and rewards, I'm definitely going to use my legit account and do their training. Easy enough training, and pretty decent discounts on stuff.

Snagged. Thanks.

-Edit- So what happens regarding all of the skins post release/first week. So if I went back and finished the original after playing the 3rd will I still get the skin for completing all three?

I did the same thing you did. But it doesn't specify that the customer wants to play with friends ONLINE. So, he wants to play splitscreen. So he'd need a wireless controller. :\

Looks like that was it - I had Gamestop listed from some other freebie ExpertZone thing and I tried to change it to Wal-Mart but it won't stick.

Ah, didn't even make sense until I read your explanation.

Method worked, got a code. I can now also totally sell a Kinect.

Me too!

Too bad Staples doesn't even carry Xbox 360 things. Oh well, the Windows training they offer could help me at my current job I guess, since I do sell laptops and work on PCs every day...
