As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must say that the revelation from CliffyB about Baird’s weapon in Gears of War 3’s cover art has brought back memories of the excitement that surrounded the game’s release back in 2011. It’s fascinating to learn that even industry legends like CliffyB can have their artwork messed up by an artist, and it just goes to show that even the best of us can make mistakes!

Cliff Bleszinski, famously known as CliffyB, creator of Gears of War 3, has cleared up a misunderstanding about a detail in the game’s cover art that left some fans puzzled about what character Baird is holding. According to him, the artist made an error by depicting the longshot gun incorrectly in the artwork. Cliff Bleszinski is a renowned video game designer who contributed his artistic skills to the acclaimed Gears of War series. Gears of War 3, developed by Epic Games and exclusively available on Xbox 360, was finally launched in September 2011 following a five-month delay. In its first week, it sold more than 3 million copies, placing it as the second highest-selling video game in America.

Lately, CliffyB voiced firm views on playing “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom,” during which the creator expressed dissatisfaction over the game’s minimal action and adventure elements. Now, Bleszinski has added his thoughts once more, but this time focusing on a seemingly enigmatic aspect in the cover art of “Gears of War 3.

In a Reddit post, user AceTheRed_ has circulated a screenshot within the community about an interaction between CliffyB and a fan of “Gears of War 3.” Originally, user The Illicit Maggi Sauce posed a question on Twitter about Damon Baird’s in-game cover art accessory, which had left them perplexed for years. Known for engaging with fans and offering insights, CliffyB revealed that the character was actually holding a longshot gun, one of “Gears of War”‘s formidable weapons. However, he also pointed out that the artist had made an error in depicting what the weapon was supposed to look like.

Although numerous Reddit posters maintained that Baird’s object resembled a longshot gun since its inception, thus necessitating no explanation, some enthusiasts sympathized with The Illicit Maggi Sauce’s puzzlement and doubt. One participant even claimed to possess a poster of the identical image but never recognized it as a firearm, while another suggested it appeared more like a SPAS-12 combat shotgun. Another ardent gamer remarked that Anya, one of Gears of War‘s most iconic characters, seems to have only one arm in the cover art.

Towards the beginning of this year, whispers about a Gears of War compilation gained momentum. Recently, additional proof has emerged that could indicate the possibility of a Gears of War collection being imminent. This is due to the fact that the thumbnails for the soundtracks of Gears of War 2 and 3 on composer Steve Jablonsky’s YouTube channel have been modified to include The Coalition’s logo.
