    Let’s face it, chicks dig the Baird. That is the reason there is a freaking shirt dedicated to that saying floating around. For folks such as myself, I am wholly prepared for a full game filled with Baird’s unique….OK he is a smart ass, but that is his appeal to me. I can see how he could rub some people the wrong way and some people may not want to play [amazon_link id=”B002I0H2AG” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Gears of War: Judgment[/amazon_link] because of that.

    Jim Brown, lead level designer at People Can Fly has explained in a recent interview exactly why we are getting a whole bunch of Baird.

    “He was an interesting character. He’s actually kind of divisive. Most players really, really like him, but there were a couple that were like, ‘Man that’s guy’s just an asshole’. But to me that means he’s interesting. That means that there’s a real story there to tell.”

    Gears fans should not have a problem at all with the choice. I mean we are getting more Gears. Suck it complainers.

    Damon Baird is back to give you the rundown on all the new goodies to the multiplayer in [amazon_link id=”B002I0H2AG” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Gears of War: Judgment[/amazon_link]. The new character classes are explained as well as how multiplayer maps will have more verticality to them.

    I am more excited about this Gears multiplayer experience than I was for Gears 3 because it seems that the guys over at People Can Fly are addressing a lot of the issues that fans have wanted changed in past entries. I love the new class system and the addition of new grenades like the beacon grenades that give off a sort of sonar effect allowing you see through walls and the stim grenade which heals anyone near where it goes off. And finally, the ability to quick toss grenades!!! Thank you!!!

    You also get a look at the Overrun mode which is like Horde on crack and free for all which I will spend many, many hours on. I am more of a screw teams, let’s just kill each other group.
