Gears of War: Judgment pre-orders begin today

Pre-orders for Gears of War: Judgment, the fourth installment of Epic Games' hit series, have begun today giving fans a chance to reserve a copy of the highly-anticipated game.

For those who pre-order at participating retailers, you can receive an exclusive in-game multiplayer weapon at launch: the Classic Hammerburst. 

The Classic Hammerburst was the standard-issue assault rifle of the Locust Army during their E-Day onslaught. Highly accurate with a six-round burst, the Classic Hammerburst helped give the Locust a decisive advantage.

Additional incentives will be available from participating retailers in the coming weeks, including exclusive multiplayer skins like Young Marcus, Young Dom, Anya and Alex Brand.

Gears of War: Judgment is set to release on March 19, 2013.
