Well i've been playing the beta 2 days now and I am liking what i'm seeing. To give an idea of what we've seen so far in terms of the features, what they kept and the feel of the game:

* It's fast, GOW 1 fast and smooth (for the most part)
* The graphics are improved, they use more colours and more textures and the environment feels more alive
* They kept the following features from 2 - Taking bullets slows your movement (e.g. when running towards enemies, They have all the weapons from 2 (mulcher, mortars, ink grenades, etc), they added a kick over cover move that keeps the game more fluid.
* They've added new weapons - sawed off shotgun which is particularly helpful if you're close up, though melee is harder with such a gun in the game, one-shot sniper (it's large like a mortar and will limit your movement speed, but it does as the name suggests), the ink grenade has a smaller effective radius but is stronger. The sniper is narrower in vision and (imho) harder to use. Lastly the digger (which is a highly mobile) that shoots underground explosives.
* Overall the game looks and feels like a highbred of GOW1 and 2, mostly the best of both. It's still 5v5

So far I give it 2 thumbs up! they have 4 months until release so there is time to polish and tweak, all in all so far its positive, once they don't @#$% it up in the next 5 months, we have a definite winner on our hands.

Microsoft: jump through hoops, get more Gears 3 beta codes
By Ben Kuchera | Last updated about 5 hours ago
The Gears of War 3 beta is going gangbusters, and we've been having a great time playing online. You can read our first impressions, an interview with the senior gameplay designer, and then get ready to bug your friends for an invite code. Everyone in the beta will get one key to give to a friend, and Microsoft and Epic Games are giving you a few different ways to earn even more keys. Here's what Microsoft says you can do to help your friends.

Purchase any Gears of War content from Xbox Live Marketplace—that includes game add-ons, games from Games on Demand, and Avatar gear.
Spend 20 or more hours playing the beta from today on, helping us make Gears of War 3 a better experience.
Add 12 months of Xbox Live Gold to your membership—if you already have several months or more remaining, the time will be added on to the end of your subscription.
Have at least 100 hours of gameplay logged on the Gears of War franchise. That includes single player and multiplayer across Gears of War, Gears of War 2, and their add-ons.

It's a little weird to reward people with beta keys for buying more Xbox Live, but the main way to earn keys is just to play the hell out of Gears of War, so it's hard to get worked up. Microsoft seems to be aiming for a huge beta, and this is a great way to reward players and get people to play for longer sessions. If you're already in the beta, it's time to get to work.

Sorry to say I've only now gotten a key to Beta and so far all I can say is WOW!! A lot more dynamics in the movement of characters on screen and as WinTry says the environments are more earthly and alive. Can't wait for the campaign!!

This game can't come fast enough, till then we'll just continue to find gems of arcade titles to hold us over and keep us away from the FAIL of Duty Blackmailed Ops. Unless we have a actual team sweat, which funny enough we've NEVER heard from ANYONE since... funny that...

For those of you that are going to be getting this Gem of a game come Sept. 20th and you're on Facebook. Just visit the Gears of War page http://www.facebook.com/gearsofwar
and "Like" the page. Then click on "Get Griffin" on the left side and you will unlock a code for a New MP Character "Aaron Griffin", which can be redeemed on Xbox Live. Good Hunting!
