Coming into a multipayer game for the first time can be a scary, and sometimes even disheartening, experience for a newbie. Not being aware of the tricks and strategies that veterans employ can easily lead to a string of humiliating deaths that can sometimes turn off a new player from ever joining multiplayer again.

That's the challenge that Epic is trying to overcome in Gears of War 3. Speaking to video game news site IncGamers, Gears of War 3 executive producer Rod Fergusson said that they want to convince more people to join in multiplayer matches and to continue playing them. Their approach is to arm newcomers with as much information about the game's multiplayer component as possible so they feel more comfortable when they wade in and the bullets start flying.

"We’re trying to give people lots of information," said Fergusson, "whether it’s more information during matchmaking or more information about what the weapons are or where your team-mates are on the map; we’re trying to empower the player and provide a place for them in which they feel they can grow and feel comfortable."

Gears of War 3 is currently slated for release this September exclusively on Xbox 360.
