Do you know where you’re going to be at 23:59 on 19 September? I do!
BT Games has announced they’ll be hosting Gears of War 3 midnight launch events at shops all over the country, which is probably a good idea because those Locust could turn up anywhere and we should always be prepared.
Well, that’s how I explained my way out of that little national security incident at Cape Town International a while back. I mean, carrying bolo grenades in my pockets is just being responsible, right? Exactly.

Savage Kantus Shaman
According to BT Games, the following shops will be getting in on this big idea:
Boardwalk
Cavendish
Canal Walk
Capegate*
Centurion*
Clearwater
Cresta
Eastgate*
East Rand Mall
Fourways
Glen
Greenstone
Gateway
Highveld
Ilanga
Mimosa
Menlyn
Northgate
Pavilion*
Rustenburg
Somerset
Tygervalley
V&A Waterfront
Vincent Park
Walmer Park
Those venues marked with asterisks will be “hosted by Microsoft themselves, and will have a little more to them”, according to BT Games.

Savage Grenadier Elite
There’s also a cool preorder incentive in the intimidating shapes of Savage Kantus Shaman and Savage Grenadier Elite DLC models for multiplayer.
I chose the Kantus, of course, because I just can’t get enough of that growly sound he makes when he runs.
HASLAGHASLAGHAS!
