A few intrepid Gears of War: Judgment players have discovered the franchise's Warzone game type hidden and playable on the disc, and according to an Epic Games programmer, it's because it was easier for the developers to leave it in than remove it, reports Eurogamer.
One player by the moniker IceMaN 8o4 posted a video in which he accessed Warzone mode in a private match. As you can see above, the player goes to start a private round of team deathmatch, but simply presses the A and B buttons at the same time and is loaded into a Warzone game.
In Warzone mode, which existed in the first three Gears of War games but is absent in Judgment, two teams of players attempt to eliminate each other — each player has one life, and the round ends when one team has been eliminated or when time...
Yes, a new Gears of War release is upon us. But Gears of War: Judgment is not your usual Gears sequel. This time around, Epic's working with Bulletstorm-developer, People Can Fly. and they're focusing on the be-goggled Baird and his travails shortly after the first Locust invasion.

Long-time Gears player characters Marcus and Dom are taking a break from Gears of War: Judgment (since it's a prequel and all), and a trailer from Epic Games is here to introduce the new faces of Kilo squad.
There are two new faces, anyway. Half of Kilo squad is made up of returning fan favorites Baird and Cole; Judgment sets up their backstory before the events of the original Gears trilogy.
New to the COGs is Garron Paduk, a member of a foreign military unit originally taken as a prisoner of war, but who demands a right to fight the Locust in revenge for the devastation they've wreaked on his homeland. Rounding out the team is Sofia Hendrik, a cadet and former reporter.

With Gears of War: Judgment days away from release, developer People Can Fly has posted a short video featuring interviews with members of the development team, and a tour through its Warsaw-based studio in Poland.

As Lt. Damon Baird knows, things never go well when an evil alien horde busts out of the center of your planet.
The launch trailer for Epic Games and People Can Fly's Gears of War: Judgment is light on story, but heavy on Gears' signature style: shooting, blowing things up, and sawing into people with your chainsaw gun.
As a prequel to the original Gears of War, Judgment recounts the immediate aftermath of the Locust appearance on Emergence Day. It is the first game in the series to not feature Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago as playable characters, instead focusing on the court-martial trial of their future squadmates, Damon Baird and Cole Augustus.

A new trailer for Epic Games' Gears of War: Judgment shows the havoc a player can wreak with the new high-tech crossbow weapon.
Rather than just firing darts, the Judgment crossbow fires an explosive projectile that either detonates on impact or sets up a small infrared tripwire, exploding when triggered.
