A new trailer for Gears of War Judgment has been released today! “The Guts of Gears – Multiplayer,” gives fans a look at the new multiplayer modes, weapons, in-game rewards and gameplay updates that will make it the most intense Gears game to date. The details covered in this video include some samples of the biggest and most exciting updates coming to “Gears of War: Judgment” multiplayer.
Multiplayer modes that are highlighted in the trailer:
OverRun: OverRun marks the first time that class-based competitive multiplayer has been introduced into the “Gears of War” series. Think of it as a combination of the popular Beast and Horde modes pitted against each other. OverRun is a 5v5 attack/defend game type, where the COG are always defending, and the Locust are attacking… and you have an opportunity to play both as attacker and defender to determine the winning team.
Team Deathmatch: In this returning fan-favourite, two teams of five players start with a shared pool of respawns. The goal is to take out your opponents and deplete their respawns before your own pool is gone. Perfect for “Gears” veterans and new recruits alike, Team Deathmatch has everyone battling to be the last squad standing.
Free-For-All: Free-For-All is an “every player for themselves” Deathmatch mode. No teams mean shoot anything that moves. The perfect mode for relieving some stress.
Domination: Domination is a 5v5 team based competitive multiplayer mode. Teams will compete over three rings placed throughout the map. Control the ring to earn points; the first team to 250 points wins the match.
Not only are there new grenades for any situation you might encounter online, but Epic has also confirmed that players will have the ability to toss grenades without a windup. b=Below are six new additions to the game’s arsenal:
Sticky Grenades: Like Frag Grenades, these cause lethal damage to opponents, except they stick to targets before detonation.
Beacon Grenades – The Beacon is a tactical grenade most commonly used by COG Scouts. It electronically marks all enemy targets in its blast radius, and reveals their position for a short time, even though walls and other obstacles of any thickness.
Stim Grenades – The Stim is an extremely useful tool for Medics and those wishing to play a support role in combat. When detonated, it emits a cloud of medicinal gas that will instantly heal all friendly targets within its radius.
Markza: Before the Locust invaded Sera, the people of the COG had spent decades at war with the Union of Independent Republics, and the Markza is one of the UIR’s most infamous weapons. This semi-automatic rifle is perfect for medium range combat, with a deep clip and an attached scope that extends its effective range and ensures greater accuracy at distance.
Breechshot – The Locust are more than just a brute force, and the Breechshot is a shining example of their ingenuity and tactics: the base of the gun is a confiscated UIR Markza that has been converted to inflict massive amounts of damage. The barrel has a larger bore to support a higher-caliber projectile, and the stock has been retrofitted with a vicious blade making this versatile weapon perfect for short to medium range combat.
Booshka – The Booshka is a devastating grenade launcher of UIR design. It is capable of lobbing smart shells that detonate on direct impact with an enemy, or bounce off walls and other obstacles to detonate off a brief timer.

will there be horde 3.0 now or in a season pass release?
I don’t like how the team matches are now going to be COG vs COG. Having the team matches be COG vs Locust was always one of my favorite parts of Gears of War online play, cuz you could easily tell the teams apart and it made it feel more real and grounded in the Gears universe. I always felt Halo missed that opportunity by not having the matches be Spartans vs Elites. Putting the names of enemies over their head in a different color, like in COD, has always felt contrived to me, because if it were a real life battle they wouldn’t have that, so I hope they don’t do that. Plus I’m colorblind and they always seem to use red and green so I have trouble telling the colors apart.
