After taking the monster out, the story skips back in time two hours and pits the players in shoes of the Cole-Baird team up top.

In a room with Cliff Bleszinski, I was shown a sequence which starts with, Cole, Baird, Carmine and Sam up top on a bridge, aiming to push a crate of tickers over onto the giant Lambent Leviathan (think giant Kraken) while the players(s) is/are controlling Fenix, Dom, Anya and Jace, battling the massive beast up close. While we had plenty of time to enjoy a tease of its competitive multiplayer offerings, it wasn't until today at E3 when we got up close and personal with Gears of War 3's campaign.

Gears of War 3, one of the industry's most anticipated games of 2011 and the most pre-ordered Xbox 360 exclusive to date, made a big splash only months ago when Epic Games successfully launched the popular Gears of War 3 multiplayer beta.
