But since I just ran into it last night while catching up on everything Gears 3 over at the Epic forums, I figured maybe someone else missed this as well as me. The biggest news about Gears of War 3 for me right now is that Bernie Mataki has been confirmed to be in the third installment (no confirmation if she will be playable in mulit-player similar to Dizzy in Gears 2 or if she will simply be a NPC pushing the story line). If anyone has read Karen Traviss's Novels, then you will know that Mataki is one of the most kick-ass characters in all of the Gears Universe. A grey in the tooth sniper specialist from the southern islands, Mataki is a quit-whitted, agressive solder who shares a particular platonic affection for Cole, who calls her "Boomer Lady" and a love/hate relationship with Baird. Some of the best lines in the books rise out of excchanges between Baird & Mataki. Here is a preview of the Bernie Mataki NECA figure that was reviewed during ComicCon.
And for those of you who missed the Q&A session with the Epic Team at ComicCon, here is little bit of what was covered.

I know that everyone is going nuts for Halo Reach right now (I will be getting it on Friday myself), but I am stoked for Gears of War 3 and cannot wait for the relase date. With that in mind, I am working or putting together a very special 2old2play event for said launch to be held here in Boston, so stay tuned.
And while we are on the subject of old soldiers, check out today's Penny Arcade strip. If Tyco & Gabe have ever spoken directly to the members of 2old2play, I believe this is that time.
