The GTR crew got early hands-on access to the Gears of War: E-Day multiplayer beta! Join Danny Peña and Riana Manuel-Peña as they break down their experience testing out the brand-new 12-player Horde Siege Mode, updated gameplay mechanics, and full-launch details. From coordinating across three 4-player squads to testing out the new character classes (Assault, Breacher, Marksman, and Medic), we share our thoughts on what works, how the overall difficulty feels, and how movement mechanics like jumping and sliding change the game.

Highlights

What is Horde Siege Mode? A hybrid of Horde and competitive co-op where 12 players across 3 squads fight Locust forces and fight for extraction points.

Extraction Mechanics: Helicopters will not land if the landing zone is swarmed—strategic clearing and timing are vital to surviving.

Character Class Breakdown: Detailed look at the four beta classes—Assault (Marcus), Breacher (Dom), Marksman, and Medic—and why distance revives make Medic indispensable.

Game Modes Overview: Differences between Blitz (fast 5-minute sessions), Siege (objective-focused co-op), and classic endless Horde.

Movement & Gunplay: How the new jumping and sliding mechanics feel, proper grenade trajectory aiming, and weapon upgrades in the pre-game lobby.
