[360] Gears of War 3

[DomePatrol]

is anyone playing this. The sudden influx of noobies has made attempting to play unbearable, doubly so in koth when people forget to capture the hill.

I second this. I was getting pretty pissed yesterday between silent matches and no one knowing what the hell to do. Only upside to that was my KDR went up a bit.

50 games to unlock the skin

10 with the skin to keep it in the retail game

Damn. I can't see me ever playing that many games in a beta.

 

[Twigg4075]

I've played over 200... :shifty:

Oh, I'm not saying it's anywhere near impossible for the average person. Quite the contrary. But I have too many game to play so devoting that much time to one, let alone a beta, is not in the cards for this guy.

The difference between dedicated servers and p2p seems huge.
P2P matches have sucked ass. Laggy insane Host advantage. If Epic had listened the first time around and had dedicated servers GOW2 would have been a far bigger success online that it was.
However it worries me that p2p is still so prevalent. Seems like they are trying to either test load servers or see how much they can skimp before people notice.

Im on right now if anyone wants to play

capture the leader is where its at.

 

[DomePatrol]

Not at all. CTL on checkout is probably the best time I have because I get to use my knowledge/be a dick to win games. If your leader stands on that elevated ledge by digger/longshot, even if he gets captured, the person who does it will be stuck up there and open to shots from all the way across the map. You can lever lose on that map if you do this.

wait so are you agreeing with me or disagreeing?

hes basically saying that ctl has some flaws that dicks like to showcase and can turn boring/frustrating fast

I agree but I went from 3 MVP medals to 17 in just 20 matches. For some reason I was just destroying people.

I have more than 50 untouchables, my top 3 ribbons are Nemesis (obviously) x270, Killing Spree x230, Solid x 221. The sawed off takes no skill, the retro lancer takes no skill other than the ability to look at someone.

This game is amazing but both those weapons ruin it. I can't wait for MLG because I know they won't allow either of those other than as a power weapon on the map or something like that.

Every single time I get killed by a retro or a SOS I switch my mains to the same thing, then proceed to murder the faggots who used it on me. I could start out 2-3 because of a SOS or Plancer then end up going 16-3 because I took mine out. This happens almost every single match.

I think epic is going to tweak both of them. Although some people dont mind either one the amount of people complaining about both weapons probably will result in change. I dont really mind the sawed off but the retro lancer erks me there is no real consequence for using it running impale move. They just run up and if they miss you can melee instantly and then blindfire for a down.

Don't know anything about GoW3, but just wanted to say that Gears of War 1 provided me with some of the funnest nex-gen gaming yet, and I don't even have a 360

 

[stevsta]

no mention of the gnasher grif. IMO the range on it is a bit too much

 

[Buzzman]

Gears of War will be always be my favorite game of this generation.

I remember the trailer, and buying the game solely based off the trailer without ever seeing any gameplay. Let's just say I was not disappointed at all.

Hell, I bought an xbox 360 off that trailer alone.

I think the only reason its has so much range is to counter the sawed off. If you take away the range then everyone might as well just run around with the sawed off.

 

[IamMedellin]

gnasher has way too much range, makes the standard lancer pointless

bout to try out the retro lancer

 

[inthecards21]

I love this beta, they've basically taking everything aggravating about Gears 2, and removed it. The only thing I can say I don't like is the Sawed off but I'm not too upset over it

if you hate the sawed off shotgun pray that your connection never dips b/c if so it is lights-out. I didn't know utorrent was up (cpu restarted and booted up utorrent) and was getting demolished by the sawed off shotgun

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Retros blind fire is the problem. The range and power are fine. But the fact its just as accurate and the most damaging weapon while blindfiring is pretty retarded.

Lancer might as well be a water gun next to Retro and HB.

Still dont have much of an issue with DBS. If you got that close to me how can I complain ?

 

[DomePatrol]

I guess I really need to make the switch to retro lancer.
