De website Joystiq.com had een interview met niemand minder dan Clifford 'ik leef in mijn eigen wereld' Bleszinski over Gears of War 3, alleen ontweek hij alle vragen over de multiplayer mode. Verder is hij zoals gewoonlijk weer lekker arrogant met zijn antwoorden, maar dat neemt niet weg dat hij hele vette games maakt.

You guys implemented major improvements from Gears 1 to Gears 2 in terms of multiplayer -- adding Matchmaking, ranks, etc. Now with Modern Warfare and "perks" reshaping the way multiplayer is done, are you guys looking at any of these things for Gears of War 3?

We won't be doing perks -- we're not that game. When talking about the Versus mode, I've never really felt like perks are a good fit for Gears. They're okay for their different Call of Duty games and things.

That said, if you're making a multiplayer shooter right now, you very much need to have a ranking system, experience points and things to unlock to keep players invested in your games for months on end.
