Gears of War 3 Beta Most Likely Coming in April
Epic has made it known that they plan on having a long beta test period for Gears of War 3 multiplayer to prevent the issues that Gears 2 had out of the box.
In an interview with Gamespot – Epic president Mike Capps said:
“I think everybody knows we had some multiplayer stability issues with Gears 2 multiplayer out of the box,” he added. “While we fixed those later, the opportunity to be really, really sure that our new dedicated server infrastructure is going to be operational on day one with Gears 3 was totally worth the time to make the beta.”
He also added:
“We’ve been saying spring … my guess is it will be sometime around April or so. It’s going to be early enough so it really impacts Gears development, but we want to make sure everyone has the chance to play Bulletstorm before they jump right into the beta.
What does this mean? More incentive to buy Bulletstorm and a nice long beta test to sort out any Gears 3 multiplayer bugs. Good news all around.
We’ll keep you updated of any further developments.
