5 Dead Grunts, 4 Screaming Men, 3 Active Reloads, 2 Total Wars and a Chainsaw in a Locust's Knee. Nothing says Holiday Greetings than 12 festive days of absolute violence. This is exactly what the team at Epic are offering owners of Gears of War 3 with the '12 Days of Gearmas' - a dozen special events.
Epic have only teased the events so far, but they start today at 5pm EST. There are 12 horde/beast special modes and also 12 modes for the multiplayer game. There will also be a chance to grab 3 rare ribbons leading up to the 25th.
