Well, it was finally announced: Gears of War 3 to be released April 2011!
Cliff Brezinski was interviewed on the Jimmy Fallon show about a week ago and made the announcement of the release also showing a trailer called Ashes to Ashes.
(On a side-note, when Fallon was introducing Cliff Brezinski he called him the creator of the classic games Unreal and Gears !!! Three cheers for a mention on national TV of Unreal!!

The link above is to the sticky on the UT forums which has all the information plus all of the links to the Brezinski/Fallon interview, plus other interviews, plus the link to the Ashes to Ashes trailer.

--Campaign story written by Karen Traviss who wrote the Gears of War book series
--There is a new enemy called the Lambent who apparently change form as you fight them

Edit:
One other thing: if you care about getting that special golden gun then it appears only those who play the beta will have access to it! Unlike Gears 2, you won't be able to get it even if you buy the special edition of the game when it comes out.
 From the Epic forums:".....- Play 90 Matches in the beta and unlock the gold retro lancer, if you get 100 kills with the weapon you get to keep in in the retail game. (You must get 100 kills with it for it to go over to your full game)....." ------------- Do you realize that in about forty years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tatoos and pierced navels?
