Which maps would you like to play in the Gears of War 3 Beta?
In a Facebook poll of 10,991 respondents, 32% chose “Trenches The Locust have begun to carve mines and tunnels into the rocks of the Seran Deadlands, eking out any existence that resembles the underground passages of the Hollow they once called home. But this harsh environment is”. How we count
Old Town opened strong, leading by 29% on day one as farm-town nostalgia carried early votes. But Trenches was lurking — and on day 3 it flipped the race entirely, surging to a 30% lead and stretching to 32% by the finish, a margin it held rock-solid through the final three days.
10,991 votes later, Trenches took it at 32% (3,520) over Old Town's 26.1% (2,867), with Overpass and Mercy trailing near 22% and 20%. Geography split the field cleanly: the UK, Mexico, and Canada all leaned Trenches, while the US and Spain favored the Lambent-ravaged Overpass — a rare case where America backed the underdog map.
