There is also the inclusion of mechs called 'Silverbacks' in the game. Larger Lambent creatures will be able to attack players over cover forcing the player to adapt and use new tactics. The Lambent add a new dimension to the old Gears of War formula of 'Stop-And-Pop' similar to what the tickers attempted to do in Gears of War 2. However Epic went on to clarify that only the easier difficulties were going to be easier in order for the more casual players to experience their narrative, but the harder difficulties will remain just as challenging, if not more, as the previous games. It was first stated that this game was set to be easier than the previous one, due to the small number of players who reportedly finished Gears of War 2. Each of the four playable characters will be tied in to the plot and story as the campaign progresses to ensure that no player feels that his or her character is tacked on. The single player campaign is playable as four player co-op instead of the series staple of two player co-op.

Gears of War 3 is a cover-based shooter like its predecessors, now with even more weapons, enemies, and multiplayer modes. The third game in the Gears of War series and final entry to the Marcus Fenix trilogy.
