Players operating as Locusts start out small, fighting as Drones, Tickers or Wretches before earning points and upgrading to more powerful foes such as Serapedes or the Kantus. Each boasts a special ability such as building turrets or handing out ammunition. COG members choose one of four classes: Scout, Engineer, Soldier or Medic. The star of multiplayer is Overrun, which pits a Locust team against COG soldiers protecting a generator. Players must capture targets on a map and hold them to earn points. Judgment adds a Domination mode, which fans of first-person shooters such as Call of Duty or Battlefield will recognize.
The popular Team Deathmatch returns, as does Execution, where two teams of five fight to kill each other within a set time limit. There's also a handful of online cooperative and competitive modes. Baird and Cole are still the stars, as they revisit Halvo Bay. Once the Judgment campaign is complete, players unlock a second, shorter Aftermath campaign that takes place alongside events in 2011's Gears of War 3. The campaign also takes inspiration from Gears of War's popular Horde mode, as some sections require players to survive waves of Locust to advance. The boost in speed is necessary, considering Judgment tosses every powerful Locust enemy at players from the very start, from smaller wretches to the all-new Rager that grows stronger and tougher after players shoot them. Also, they can quickly switch between a pair of weapons with the Y button. Players now simply toss their grenades while carrying a firearm. Developers at Epic Games ditched the directional pad, making access to weapons and grenades easier. The pace is a bit quicker compared to the Gears of War trilogy. Fresh items are tossed into the mix, including a Breechshot, a sniper rifle without a scope, and a grenade launcher called the Booshka. Of course, there's also the wonderful weapon selection from Lancers with chainsaw bayonets, Boomshots, Longshots and Gnasher Shotguns.
Players use the right bumper to reload, jamming their weapon or reloading more quickly depending on timing. The A button is your best friend for evading enemies, performing "roadie runs" to escape danger and to find cover. Judgment handles like the traditional Gears of War title. Players can also win prizeboxes that unlock additional experience points and weapon skins. These stars go toward unlocking items for Judgment's multiplayer and cooperative components. Players earn up to three stars for each stage, and "declassifying" a mission will speed up the process.
