Gears of War 3 Will “Embrace The Shotgun”

Gears of War 3 will “embrace the shotgun” according to lead designer Cliff Bleszinski. Cliff explains why in an interview with MeriStation TV.

We always try to push for the fact that this is a tactical cover-based shooter.  And the more you try to push a game as tactical the more gamers push back and make it into an arcadey type game.  So think about games like Counter-Strike and Call of Duty.  People try to say they’re tactical but they are very fast paced and very arcadey games.  But that’s cool. That makes it very accessible.

It looks like, Epic will allow users to use the shotgun as much as they want and they are also introducing a sawed off double-barrel shotgun.  The new double-barrel shotgun is extremely powerful but has a short range and longer reload time.  However, gamers will be able to “gib” a few enemies at once if they get the enemies lined up in close.

What do you think about the Epic “Embracing” the shotgun?
