Gears of War 3 Will Have a Multiplayer Beta Test October 7, 2010

With the extra five months of development time added to Gears of War 3, Epic announced during a press event that there is now enough time in the development schedule to have a multiplayer beta test of the game.  No details yet on what you’ll have to do to get into the beta, but this is likely good news to a lot of people who didn’t like the netcode on Gears of War 2.

Gears of War 3 is also expected to have dedicated server support, which should eliminate host advantages Gears of War games have had since the very beginning.

Gears of War 3 is coming exclusive to the Xbox 360 in 2011.
