Gears of War 3 Epic Edition - Blu-ray Forum

OJs other glove · 03-19-2011, 12:53 PM

I pre-ordered mine the other day, Friday to be exact! Even though I dont know whats going to be included in it, I just had to get my grubby mitts on it.
9/20/11 can't come fast enough, a week before my b-day looks like I'm taking a few days off. Apparently you get a beta code with a pre-order from EB for this game.

Yeah, we have a decent size group playing in the beta, quite a few of us received Beta tokens for buying Bulletstorm

IcedOutSlim · 04-11-2011, 11:30 AM

i put 5 dollars down on pre order for gears 3....and gamestop gave me the beta.

Billz · 04-11-2011, 01:31 PM

Hopefully, there'll be a bit more included then what Gears 2 had.

Gears 1:
Bonus DVD with making of, and a artbook housed in a metal tin

Gears 2:
Bonus DVD, art book, Dom photo, gold lancer code, and metal tin replaced by steelbook

I hope Gears 3 gets a better package than Gears 2 did.

Almadacr · 04-11-2011, 02:12 PM

I bought the Gears 2 Epic but i think this time i am going on the regular version , not because of the price but because of the way Epic is dealing with this game ( Beta only for someone who bought Bulletstorm or pre-order ) . If i`m not mistaken there will be different dates for the Beta for pre-orders and codes from Bulletstorm ???

IcedOutSlim · 04-11-2011, 05:49 PM

If you dont wanna get bulletstorm...why not just put 5 dollars down on a preorder for the beta? the 5 goes towards the game anyways right

im getting the regular edition i was just saying about the beta.

The problem is not the money its the principle ( MS loves to milk is users

) and this connection between EPIC and EA i hope its just a publicity stunt .

SlaughterX · 04-13-2011, 11:41 PM

When does the beta start?

Cisco in HD · 04-14-2011, 06:57 PM

For those who bought the ultimate edition of bulletstorm (like me) we get to start playing Monday, April 18th at 9am. Everyone else that just preordered gears 3 or has a code for the beta is allowed to play April 25th. And I believe the beta wraps up may 15th.

OJs other glove · 04-16-2011, 02:34 PM

Did anyone manage to snag VIP beta code that EPIC was giving away over their twitter accounts? I guess its earlier acces to beta by playing this weekend as opposed to waiting til monday. They stopped at 10 pm est. on Friday and gave codes to random people who were following them and at 9:55 they gave away 5 codes to whoever was lucky enough to grab em. I was at work unfortunately

CdnBlu · 04-18-2011, 04:00 PM

Beta went live this morning! Stuck at work for another 6 hours but I'll be on when I get home

The_Donster · 04-18-2011, 06:21 PM

A buddy of mine sent me the code for the Beta. Played a bit yesterday and man the pace is pretty damn fast. You blink and you are dead if the opposing team has a bit of experience. Seems I assisted more than anything when it came to killing anyone. My time is a bit limited on when I can play, since I've got a little guy.

CdnBlu · 04-18-2011, 07:20 PM

Yeah I've got school stuff on the go, and the lady wants to go for dinner tonight

What's the best excuse so I can stay home and game all night?

The_Donster · 04-19-2011, 01:06 AM

Explosive diarrhea?

krazeyeyez · 04-19-2011, 03:21 AM

never got to play the second one, and many of my die hard live buddies did not like it compared to one, so.....

how would you stack this up against gears one.... is the shotgun, juke move style of play still in tact? as thats all i really care about. Otherwise ill stick with cod.

aimforsilence · 04-19-2011, 03:24 AM

Beta is ****ing awesome!

joey791 · 04-19-2011, 04:03 AM

Yeah really enjoying playing the beta, like the addition of the ribbons and medals.

Agreed, they make leveling up far better! Wish I knew when they plan on unlocking the last 4 maps & 2 other game types though?
