Gears of War 3 has 'casual' mode
Gears of War 3 will offer a casual mode with aim assist for new players, but experienced players with Achievements in previous Gears games will have the mode locked out for them.
Gears of War 3 will sport a casual mode, with tweaks designed to gently invite in newcomers to the series. Eurogamer reports that designer Cliff Bleszinski showed off the mode at Comic Con this weekend.
The mode offers an aim assist for hitting those pesky moving targets. But when we say it's meant for newcomers, we aren't kidding. If you have any Achievements from either of the previous games, or if you got into the Gears of War 3 beta, the mode will be locked off.
Plus, casual multiplayer channels will be offered to let newbies take on each other. These will keep out experienced players, letting newcomers test their skills without worry of getting instantly chainsawed in the back after spawning.

I wonder if this is still something separate from the usual Casual difficulty.

Heh, Vanquish's Casual Auto mode in Gears 3. It's a great idea for those who get exasperated by so many controls to watch over.
For Vanquish, I didn't try Casual Auto early enough, and when I did try it, it was after getting accustomed to the controls the old-fashioned way in regular Casual. I turned on Auto, and then said, "Wait, it's throwing off my aim when I want to aim this way; I guess I don't need the training wheels."
Kudos for the lockout; the last thing a game needs is another 'cheevo cheese mode. -

probably to ensure that experienced gamers dont breeze thru the campaign too quickly and easily and then complain. still kind of dumb

Your non-gaming friend should be playing on his own gamertag or one you set up for friends to play on. I never let anyone play any of my games on my gamertag, unless it's specifically to use my save for some reason. I have four generic non-live "guest" accounts that friends use. It's also nice in multiplayer games so that everyone gets their own names and icons rather than being "OverloadUT 2, OverloadUT 3" which would happen if they used the "guest feature".

Why the hell would you want to lock this feature away. Seems pointless to me.
Nothing wrong with an extra easy mode. If people are breezing through it, you can always ask them if they want to up the difficulty.
