Gears of War 3 MP Beta Opens Mid-April

Hope everyone bought the Epic Edition of Bulletstorm because they're selling fast and it's the only way to get access to the GoW3 MP Beta.

You can also unlock exclusive items that you can only get by playing the beta and that'll be available to play in the final version. So far they've announced the gold Retro Lancer and Cole's Thrashball Cougar's outfit.

To get the gold Retro Lancer you have to play any 90 matches to unlock it for beta and kill 100 people with it to have it available in the final version.

To get Cole's Cougar's outfit you have to play any 70 matches to unlock the character for beta and play with the character 13 times to have it available in the final version.

There's two more unlockables that haven't been announced yet.

Now that GoW3 has an official release date of 20 Sept there should be plenty of time to accomplish these requirements.

Check out the interview with Rod Fergusson (Executive Producer) for some more insight into the MP changes and improvements.
