The embargo was just lifted on the gears 3 beta, and a bunch of info is coming in, here's some beta info:
- Beta will begin in mid April
- The beta will feature the new Team Deathmatch mode
- Tapping X now revives and holding X picks up a weapon
- Tapping Y picks up an enemy as a meatshield, holding Y does a weapon specific execution.
- You can vote on which maps will appear in the beta on EPIC's facebook page
- If you invest the time. The only way to unlock a Gold Retro Lancer in Gears of War 3 will be to play the beta. First, you'll need to play 90 matches to unlock it in the beta. Then, you'll need to kill 100 players with it. Do so and it's yours when Gears 3 ships.
- Maybe easier to acquire will be the Thrashball Cole skin. You'll need to play 70 matches in the beta to unlock Cole's Cougars uniform, then play with it 13 times to unlock it in Gears of War 3 retail.
Much more info coming soon!

So here is what the beta will have:
Maps:
Thrashball
Checkout
2 more maps voted on by the fans, the maps to choose from are Mercy, Old Town, Overpass and Trenches.
Gametypes:
Team Deathmatch
Team Deathmatch with a Gears style twist - your team spawns with 20 lives, and each death on your team takes a life away from that pool. Once all lives are expired, you can no longer respawn. If you are consistantly dying, you will be spawned nearer to your teammates or take slightly longer to spawn to counteract any potential issues of one person draining a team of lives.
Capture the Leader
Guardian meets Submission - the leader now cannot be killed, but instead must be meatshielded for 30 seconds to gain the victory. Leaders can struggle using the B button at certain intervals to put off the captives aim. Leaders also gain leadership vision through the Tac/Com, which allows them to see both friend and foe. The new leaders are Queen Myrrah for the Locust, and Chairman Prescott for the COG.
King of the Hill (Revamp)
King of the Hill has been revamped into a merge of Annex and King of the Hill. The objective now is to hold a ring until your score for that ring hits 100% (the enemy capturing the ring only increases their percentage captured for the ring, and does not decrease your teams percentage). Once one team hits 100% captured, they gain a point and the ring moves. KOTH now uses the Wingman spawn locations to prevent spawn blocking.
Beta will last "a couple of months" and begins in April.
