Gears of War: Judgement - OverRun Multiplayer session on Junkyard

Gears of War 3 had two strong multiplayer modes which were about co-op and not competitive, Hordes and Beasts. Both of these modes were well done, and on the harder difficulties, can be a real test of your co-op skills.

Judgement, Epic Games newest edition into the franchise merges these two modes into one Juggernaut laden battle between the Beasts and Hordes as both a Co-op (work together with your team) and Competitive (destroy/defend the Generator)

On the COG side you have the option of being Agustus "The Coal Train" Cole who is the soldier in this mode. He comes stock with a Booshka, a three round grenade launcher and a lancer. His ability is to supply the team with ammo via a fairly quick re-spawning ammo box. Next option is Sophia Hendricks, the Medic, who wields a Lancer and Snub Pistol. Medics can heal and revive themselves and allies by deploying a stim-gas grenade. Looking for a high vantage point is Garron Paduk, the Marksman, who is actually a captured member of the UIR, or Union of Independent Republics, who the COG actually fought in the Pendulum Wars. As the Marksman he is equipped with the Markza a new semi-auto sniper rifle and snub pistol. His ability, besides climbing to higher vantage points, is to throw a Beacon Grenade which gives a large radius "vision" to allies, allowing them to see opponents through walls and behind barriers. Lastly, is the Engineer - Baird. He is wields a Gnasher and Blowtorch. His abilities actually number the most out of the group, with his 'Torch, he can repair structures (like barriers) and set up a Tier 3 Turret. This team is tasked with defending emergence hole covers and by proxy the generator as a last stand.

On the flipside, the Locust are all about destroying the covers and generator. Do do this, veterans of Beasts in Gears of War 3 will feel right at home. Locust have the following options to bring down the COG

  1. Ticker - Burst run ability, explode to do significant damage
  2. Wretch - Jump over barriers, scream to stun opponents, climb to higher elevated positions
  3. Grenadier - Two primary weapons, the Lancer/Gnasher, along with grenade
  4. Kantus - Classic Hammerburst, which is a six shot burst weapon. Heals team and heal can bounce between allies if they are close enough. Visual "connection" showing who is being healed
  5. Mauler - Heavy melee and shield to protect itself. It is also able to spin said shield to deflect bullets back at attackers and spinning shield can do damage in melee range
  6. Serapede - Rear up ability for ranged spit attack, health is shown as segment pieces on screen
  7. Rager - Ranged expert with a short temper, discards its breechshot for a powerful melee attack when enraged. The Breechshot is a heavy damge bolt action sniper rifle with no scope
  8. Corpser - heavy melee (good at wreeckin fortifications) burrons and moves underground
