The next multiplayer game mode announced for shooter Gears of War: Judgment ditches team tactics in favor of solo survival. Studio Epic Games unveiled Free-For-All, which pits individual players against each other in a battle for victory. It's the first time the studio has added this type of multiplayer match to a Gears of War title.

I guess it would be a welcome feature, but they cut out focus for the other modes for it.

you make it sound like the only multiplayer option will be free for all, it's still a team/tactical based shooter but now offers a free for all playlist, thats all.

hey are cutting some modes out, and focusing exclusively on free-for-all for map designs and the new weapons. The Team based gameplay wil be crippled. as a result. Although this may not be final. But so far it seems they will continue in this direction.

This Gears looks terrible. Nothing new or innovative at all. They had a big hyped-up magazine reveal just to announce a a Free-for-All mode, something that's been a staple of every MP shooter for years?

I'm not including as a main entry of Gears. It just looks awful. You can see why Epic handed it off the their B-team developers.

I am still as excited for this as I was for the rest of the series, I can't wait :D. This is a new welcome addition, even though they are cutting other modes out. Maybe it isn't meant to be classed as a main entry one anyway? either way, I still can't wait just as much. Free For All will be interesting to play in the Gears universe with the Cogs and Locust!

I feel that People Can Fly is heading in the wrong direction with GoW, though it may be too early to tell. It really seems they are aiming for more casual players, which would be a shame.

I haven't really kept up with the game which is weird because I'm a huge fan of the franchise but what are they taking out/changing? Is it things that a person that plays a lot of gears (like me) would be a bit upset with?
