Good that we actually have a date now. Don't think it will be delayed again, since I believe it got delayed from April to September mainly for marketing.

Is the only way to get in the beta to buy bulletstorm?

 

[Wyrdo]

For now, they said there will be other ways.

Got an email today advertising an Epic Edition of the game costing £99, no details as of yet what's included in it though, they've already done the life sized Lancher so I wonder what this could have in store....

It'd have to be a fully functioning torque bow for a oner!

honestly gears of war is the worst multiplayer game ever. the gameplay just sucks

Totally disagree. The gameplay is fine. What ruins it is the lag you get in public games. Playing gears of war 2 with a load of mates is great fun.

GOW2 annex was probably my favourite xbox online game, never bothered much with the SP but the multiplayer is excellent (when it doesn't lag). Much prefer it to COD.

I can't believe it has been so long since the original.

When does the beta start - I got a key from Gamestop but it gives no start date?

 

[biron_w]

If you bought the epic edition of bulletstorm it's 18th april. If you just pre ordered gears 3 it's april 25th.

 

[PiKe]

Is there any way of getting a key for this now?

 

[biron_w]

Bulletstorm epic edition lets you download the beta now but you won't be able to play it til next monday.

 

[MoNkeE]

Really, we can download the beta already?

You can only download an 88MB launcher - it then says you will need a further 2GB once the beta starts.

I got my code by registering on Gamestop.IE so dont know when it should start for me.

Thank you for not putting stars in the thread title.

Gridlock making a comeback(again)? Looks to me like the bit where you pick up the boomer. In the background you can see the lamp post at the bottom of the steps.
If it is i'm disappointed. I'd rather they made other maps again that we haven't been playing for 6 years.
