If you're a Gears of War competitive player, you may be familiar with the history of the franchise and it's association with MLG and over all competitive back ground. If not, I'll fill you in quickly. Ever since the release of Gears of War 1, in 2006, it has been played at the highest level at several tournaments and created very high levels of hype to rival some of the biggest competitive titles.
Forward to 2008, Gears of War 2 launched and it performed decent at the competitive level, but due to lack of support from Epic Games, glitches and several imbalances that prevented the game from being played on LAN, caused the scene to die of rather quickly.
With the nearing launch of Gears of War 3 this Sept 20th, a recent Beta, and a strong growing community that is dedicated on improving and spreading knowledge about the competitive scene and weeding out the negative stigma that Gears has had of being 'to hardcore', the road on bringing Gears of War back on top of its throne has been a long and tough journey. With Epic Games, now closely working alongside some of the top competitive players, listening to community feedback, Gears is finally getting back on track after a rocky 3 years since Gears 2. Having near 1 million plus preorders already, beating out the infamous 'Modern Warfare 3', Gears is going to be one of THE biggest launch of 2011.
You can experience how the HYPE, strategic, fast paced, and competitive the matches of Gears can get as @Epic Games and 2008/2009 National Champions Th3 NSAN3Z face of in 3 Exhibition matches to showcase of whats in store for the future of the series. This is a huge step for anyone who's been following Gears competitively, am I'm hear to spread the word.
