Overview - As the last installment to the widely popular "Gears of War" series comes closer and closer, we are finally beginning to get some solid information on the game, and what is going to make it stand out among its two predecessors.

The New Grenade Launcher - In Gears of War 3, there will be a new grenade launcher, of which, when fired, burrows the grenades underground, and emerge on the other side of cover. So, if you're someone who lacks the patience to wait for the enemy to show their faces, or simply have bad luck when in such situations, this new weapon will likely be a life-saver for you.

The New Shotgun - There will also be a new shotgun, of which fires both barrels at the same time. While this might make reloading a big pain, it will definitely pack a punch.

The New Rifle - Gears of War 3 will feature a new single-shot rifle, as well, that increases in damage as you make consecutive hits. So now, those of you who have good aim will be rewarded with the ability to increase your damage done.

With a wide variety of new weapons coming with Gears of War 3, this also brings the possibility of many more melee fatalities, too. While the traditional Lancer could be used as a chainsaw, your knife can now slice throats, and other weapons can break necks, and the flamethrower can be used to, well, torch your enemies!

Next, in Gears of War 2, the ability to grab somebody as a "meat shield" was considered great, but now, in Gears of War 3, you will have the option, while using an enemy as a meat shield, to strap a grenade to him and throw him towards his friends. This will certainly add a new level of creativity to the game, indeed.

In Gears of War 3, there will also be some upgrades in the Co-Op field. Now, when with your friends, you can swap weapons. This means if you're more suited for the in-close weapons than the long-range weapons, you and your friends can accommodate for one another.

It also seems that there will be some new exoskeleton suits, of which you will be able to use to your advantage. These suits, called Silverbacks, have mini-guns with unlimited ammo, and grenade-launchers will a limited ammo supply. According to our information, they are very well protected in the front, but not so much in the back. This means, while the suit will serve as a great deal of help, you still have to use your brain to be most effective with it! There will also be an option to use the suit as a stationary turret.

Next comes the technological side of things. Epic is definitely outdoing themselves, as they have made it possible for environments to change dramatically as you go through them. This is something even the highest quality of games are lacking at this point in time. For an example, if there were an earthquake on a road as you walked down it, the geology would be altered, and bringing down water cascades from the river. There is also said to be some sort of wind presence, or simulation.

Gears of War 3 is set for an April 8th, 2011 release, meaning Epic has plenty of time to continue to outdo themselves with their last installment to their ground-breaking series.
