If you've missed the first two games in the series, and don't have time to catch up on large necks and dead wives and giant worms, this new trailer for Gears of War 3 gets you instantly up to speed on humanity's war against the Locust.
It's short. So short, in fact, you get to gloss over most plot points and get straight to the point people were fighting, then everything went underwater, now they're still fighting, only it's against someone else.
And that, folks, is all you need to know for Gears 3!
