Every now and then we get a glimpse at a concept for a game we love. Usually this leads to groans and us dreaming of a better world where we got what we wanted (multiplayer Skyrim anyone?). Epic Games have revealed the prototype for their armoured ticker enemy that was dropped from Gears of War 3, something that we are thankful to the development team for.

The enemy is different from your average ticker. Not only does the small creature explode, but it also has a shell around it that can completely protect it. Players would have to shoot at the encased enemy to stop it from rolling towards them and strike when it briefly left its armour. If you have ever played Gears of War 3 then you will understand how annoying tickers are already, even without a set of armour.

We presume that the armoured ticker did not make it into Gears of War 3 due to how frustrating the enemy would have become in the middle of an intense firefight. You can see footage of the armoured ticker by clicking here.
