Gears of War: Judgment is the latest entry in Epic Games' ever-popular Gears of War franchise, and it's being developed by Bulletstorm studio People Can Fly.
Like its predecessors, Gears of War: Judgment is set to feature a heavy multiplayer component and thanks to advance copies of the upcoming issue of GameInformer, we have a solid idea of how the game's multiplayer mode is supposed to work.
The information was leaked ahead of the magazine's official release date. A proper reveal of Gears of War: Judgment is expected to be made at the Microsoft conference at E3.
In any case, here's what we know.
