First, Gears of War fans learn of the release date of the franchise's third chapter. Now, more details on the upcoming multiplayer beta have surfaced.
Microsoft announced the Gears of War 3 beta will launch for Xbox 360 in mid-April, and offer access to three Versus modes across four maps.
It's not clear what game modes players will get to tackle, but Epic Games is letting fans
pick two of the four maps in a poll posted on Facebook.
Here's a brief description from Gamespot of the four maps eligible for vote in the Facebook poll:
Overpass, which lets players hole up in an elevated position with heavy weapons; Old Town, a team-focused map with a large supply dump; Mercy, which features a large open square; and Trenches, which features a maze of locust positions caught in a sandstorm.
Voting ends on February 28. Copies of the Epic Edition of first-person shooter Bulletstorm feature access to the Gears of War 3 beta. The game launches on September 20.
