Modern games do all that they can to make themselves more accessible to new players in order to increase their user bases and it appears that Gears Of War will be the next to do so.

In a Q & A session Epic Games Rod Fergusson shared details on a new casual multiplayer option that will be introduced in Gears Of War 3.

When you first join a multiplayer mode you will be asked if you want to enter casual mode which will only pit you against other first time players.

There are some conditions you must pass in order to enter the mode however, the game will check if you have played either Gears of War 1, 2 or the Gears of War 3 beta, if you have played any of these three you will not be allowed in.
