Tapping X lets you pick up a downed teammate or grab a downed enemy as a "meat shield," holding for a second longer it lets you pick up a weapon or ammo. There's a mini-progress meter to illustrate that, one that moves much quicker than, say, a similar function in Fable III.
On the Y button, a tap will curbstomp a bad guy quickly. Holding Y performs an longer, weapon-specific execution. And speaking of meat shields, players now have the option of using grenades while holding a body.
Simply press up to pick a frag grenade, for example, and your character will jam it into the back of the meat shield's head, kick them forward and sending that exploding body at your enemies. It works with smoke grenade too, offering a chance to escape behind a puff of smoke. The main reason you'll want to play the Gears of War 3's multiplayer beta is that it's wild, hyper-violent fun.
We only got to experience Team Deathmatch during our hands-on, which flips the score in an interesting way. Instead of trying to reach a max kill count, each team has 15 credits. Each death takes away a credit, and when a team's counter reaches zero, team members can no longer respawn. That message "No More Respawns," adds a palpable feeling of tension to battles.
The other two modes, Capture the Leader, which gives each team a captain—a "meat flag"—with special abilities to view enemies on the playfield. Each team's objective is to capture and hold the Leader, a capture the flag mode with a twist. King of the Hill, from what we heard, sounds like your standard, well, king of the hill mode but with a slight twist.
The capture point your team will need to occupy moves around the map at an unspecified interval, forcing teammates and enemies to scramble to control the point. Update: An earlier version of this story had inaccurate information about control changes to the X and Y button and unclear information on Active Reload windows. It has since been corrected. They're gonna bundle the beta with a somewhat lackluster game, which is gonna sell very well, only because zealous gamers want to play the beta, and the carrier game itself is gonna end up being sold to GameStop as soon as Gears 3 comes out, possibly used as trade-in credit torward Gears 3 reservations.
