If ever there was a time to call "excessive use of marketing and bandwidth" on a company, now would be the time. Epic Games has just released a short teaser for an upcoming trailer that will delve into the campaign of Gears of War 3.

Short actually might be too long a word to describe the trailer, which features five whole seconds of footage and ten seconds of logos.

At least the trailers feature some in-game footage though (unlike some other recent promo videos for other big profile games), so we can't complain much.

The official, full trailer for Gears of War 3 campaign will launch on May 28 during the Champions League Final Match around the world, and during Game 6 of the NBA Playoffs on TNT in the U.S.

Perhaps we're just annoyed because we actually want to learn as much as we can about the end of the trilogy. Gears of War 3 launches for the Xbox 360 on September 20, 2011.
