Gears Of War 3 Gains Casual Mode, Old Spice Dude
If you're anything like me, you like going online to test the skills you honed in a game's single-player in multiplayer. Sometimes, however, the competition is too much for the new, less competitive crowd. Thankfully, Epic Games is implementing a casual mode for both Gears of War 3's single- and multiplayer.
We spoke with a Microsoft representative at the San Diego Comic-Con today for some new details. Casual mode is designed for folks who didn't take on the Locust in Gears 1 and 2, sporting an aim-assist to make things a bit easier. As mentioned before, it will also have multiplayer channels specifically for newcomers. No more instant chainsaw deaths upon respawning.
As an added bonus, Isaiah Mustafa, the "I'm on a horse" guy from the hilarious Old Spice commercials, will be the voice of the next unfortunate Carmine character. Regarding the new cast member, Cliffy B said, ”The cast just keeps getting sexier and sexier.”
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
