Gears 3 doubles the co-op campaign to four players

Two players? That’s nothing. Gears of War 3 is promising double the amount of players for its drop-in, drop-out co-op campaign.

Take in mind that these two new characters joining Marcus and Dom alongside their fight for humanity aren’t just mindless drones to be controlled by two other players. They both have their own backgrounds and feelings to bring to the story, and both offer something unique to the game.

Game designer Cliff Bleszinski confirmed the doubled co-op on Twitter, saying “Also, Rod confirmed and I’m posting it here: 4 player integrated story co-op in the campaign!”

More friends, more fun – the way I see it.

Thanks, Kotaku.
