Yes folks, only three days left till April 18th when Epic’s Gears of War 3 multiplayer mode goes into public beta.  Currently the beta is only available to a few select people, about 55 according to Kotaku.

Ok ok I lied a little, if you bought the epic edition of  Bulletstorm you have access in three days, if you pre-ordered Gears of War 3 you’ll have to wait another week until the 25th to get your shot at chainsawing some noobs.

The beta will feature four maps; Thrashball, Old Town, Checkout and Trenches, each one is set up so that users will get a chance to try out all the game types.

Beta testers will also get a shot at completing challenges to earn the unlocks listed below which they can use in the final version of the game.
