Line 4:
** Arguably a positive example of meddling from higherups: Epic Games may not have done a multiplayer beta if this had been released as scheduled and they themselves seemed happy about a chance to polish everything to a spit shine.
* [[Game Engine]]: This is the first ''Unreal Engine 3'' game to be released, oddly enough NOT being an ''[[Unreal]]'' title or a PC game (initially) like the debut games for earlier engine versions. Early ''Unreal Engine 3'' tech demos from 2004 even used ''Gears Of War'' assets rather than ''[[Unreal]]'' ones. ''Gears of War'' was made largely as a demo for the engine, with each succeeding game further enhancing it's capabilities. It's worked well, as several very popular games have been made with the engine.
* [[Hey
** [[Dee Bradley Baker]] is the voice of RAAM, also the voice of Olmec from [[Legends of the Hidden Temple]], as well as the voice of [[Halo|The Gravemind]] and [[Viewtiful Joe]].
** [[John Dimaggio]] voices Marcus, also known as [[Futurama|Bender]] and [[Samurai Jack|the Scotsman]].
Line 16:
** [[Ice T]] lends his voice in Gears 3 as the COG-hating Griffin.
** [[Dwight Schultz]] takes over the role of Chairman Prescott in Gears of War 3.
*** For the DLC, RAAM's Shadow, Barrick is Rick Wasserman, better known as [[The Avengers:
*** Valera is [[Laura Bailey]], using a European version of her [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Lust]] voice.
** In the Japanese version of the games:
Line 33:
*** If you can manage to get through a round of Gridlock without anyone destroying one of the ash people, the next round will begin with an instrumental version of Gary Jules' cover of "[[Tears for Fears|Mad World]]", the same song used for the ''Gears of War'' commercial. {{spoiler|It's also the music that plays during Dom's [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}.
*** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ73YHx15jA Who wants toast?!]" makes a comeback in ''Gears of War 3'' as one of Marcus' one-liners when throwing an incendiary grenade.
** ''Gears of War 2'' has no shortage of them either, even though it only has one game to [[Call Back]] to. "This is the part where he tells you he'll take it under advisement." and "Hey, Colonel, I guess we ARE the support, huh?!" come to mind. Also, the entire time you're with Benjamin Carmine in the Hollow, Dom doesn't stop making stealthy quips about Anthony, even crossing over into [[Dude, Not Funny]] territory.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The series staple, the Lancer/Chainsaw Bayonet, was on the edge of whether it was going to be actually included in the game. It wasn't until they devised the design of it being integrated into the grip that they devised a semi-plausible chainsaw mounted assault rifle.
** Somewhere, a group of Gnasher-only [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys]] are cursing their rotten luck.
