Yo if anyone wants a free golden lancer hit me up around 10 or 11 tonight. I have my gold hammerburst but I have an extra gold lancer for some reason. lol.
late.
Alright, i added a shit load of you so lets get some private games going to avoid team searches K?
Send me a pm if you want me to add ya. I need more peeps that play gears on my Friendslist that will play Matchmaking with me.
Hoard mode is Beast Mode! Best thing ever.
I really like this game but i have one grip about it. Why did they increase the frequency of the bad moments from Gears 1 aka having to drive something or be stuck riding on some crappy rail. Uhg they completely RUINED a particular boss fight that starts rather epic with that crap.
yo territory on gow2 is too good, shit is addictive.
I think it’s time for tiers! best to worst:
toptier
shield- not sure if it counts but unless you have a frag, boom, or mortar you’re pretty much screwed.
hammerburst- my personal favorite it downs very fast up close to mid range, even far away it’s better then lancer thanks to rapid fire, and it has a nice clip size.
boomshot- splash damage has been nerfed so you can use it up close a bit more safely otherwise it’s still gdlke.
flamethrower- It’s a stronger shotty and if you get a perfect reload it has longer range.
high
ink grenade- everyone knows how fucking annoying it is and how useful it is anywhere.
gorgon pistol- Basically the same as gears1 hammerburst
lancer- It seems better then before at longer ranges.
mortar- Slow and small clip but you can noobtube an entire team if you’re far away.
mid
Frag/smoke- Being able to stick them to walls makes them a lot more useful.
snipe- It’s still awesome it’s just that as a sniper I find myself not using it that much in gow2 because I’d rather use other weapons.
shotty- Although nerfed it’s still great up close but I see no reason to use this if you have flamethrower.
Torque- It’s cool you can get headshots with it but now even if you get hit with it it’s not instant death.
low
Mulcher- it’s actually really fucking good but it’s a short-mid range weapon which is the range that leaves you vulnerable to the opponent using cover to kill you.
Boltok pistol- 3-4 shots will drop anyone anywhere but it’s firing rate is terrible even with stopping power it’s fairly easy to run away from it.
snub- Obsolete due to hammerburst and snub pistol but the only weapon from gears1 that remains unchanged.
Lets get some games in tonight.
Saw the later levels of Horde tonight, damn that is intense!
one thing I’d like to whine about:
Gears of war has always had an ATROCIOUS art direction. This game continues that tradtion.
First and foremost, the dialog is horrible. Again.
“It’s darker than a rats ass down here! Lemme turn on bettie’s titties!”
^Seriously, do they write that shit thinking “Awesome, that sounds so cool!”? the script is comparable to a war novel written by a fifth grader. And I didn’t think it would be possible, but this game manages to somehow have even more homoerotic lines than GoW1.
Marcus: (while picking up a locust) You’re mine now, bitch.
Yes, and then he proceeds to crack his dominatrix whip and ready his spiked paddle.
Jesus.
If everyone else has dialog this bad, I highly dread coming across cole and baird.
That and I figured they would stray away from the ethnic and cultural stereotypes made in the first one by certain characters. Now they’re even worse! Dizzy is the most stereotypical and absurd representation of a southern Caucasian i’ve seen in just about any piece of media. It’s about as bad as cole if not worse.
Dom somehow got even more latino. He sounds like a character from the George Lopez show.
Oh and Tai. Because you know, native americans love spirtiuality and cryptic metaphors. And full body tattoos.
Seriously, the cast of Gears Of War is like a really bad Carlos Mencia joke. Meaning it sucks.
Whatever, fun game so far.
Say’s the guy who is sniping from the second floor.
LOL!!! I ate a burger while going through Horde Mode…Yes that easy.
very well said. writing is atrocious. one hopes they can step that up for the third one.
lol “What the fuck do I look like a botanist? They can eat shit and die for all I care!”
Marcus was hilarious in story mode.
I think the dialogue is intentionally campy. I stay cracking up.
i agree but i think they made cole even more funnier
Tigerboi you apparently don’t seem to understand the dialog was intentionally wirtten the way it was and you don’t like the art direction? GTFO gow2 is one of the best looking games visual style wise. Soo many cheesy, badass, and striaghtup hilarious one liners.
Don’t get religious on me carmine
religious?
he means holey
The story is pretty laughable, but the dialog is hillirous.
chainsaw from the back "Thats one way to toss a salad…"
meatshield grab “Don’t worry, I’m right behind you!”
-pretty much everything Cole says
-The whole “I can see snipers better” conversation
-I’m coughing up blood that isn’t mine!
etc,etc,etc. I was surprised at how much I was laughing at the fight
‘CONTROL ARE YOU SEEING THIS!? IT’S A GIANT WORM!!! THEY’RE SINKING THE CITIES WITH A GGGGIIIIAAANT WOOOOORRRMM!!’
lmao
I actually loved the dialog in both gow1 and 2, whether it was campy or not. One of my favorite moments from the first one was the banter between cole, dom, and baird when they were in the sewage and marcus and dom were above them.
The dialog between Dom and Carmine when they were fixing the grind lift to go through the wall was GENIUS. You wouldn’t have gotten the joke unless you had played the first one lol.
Honestly I don’t find Cole too stereotypical considering the fact that the character is a play off of the voice actor’s Terry Tate’ character to begin with. I honestly wouldn’t want Cole to be played any other way lol. I mean…it could be worse…He could be wearing chains around his neck, a fitted hat, holding his lancer to the side when he’s shooting it and he could be droppin N-bombs every 10 seconds…right?
Edit:
‘What the fuck is it doin!?’ fires his lancer at the walls
‘Will you stop trying to piss it off?’
‘HOW YOU GONNA TELL ME WHAT I CAN…AND CAN’T SHOOT IN HERE!? LOOK AT THIS SHIT!’
Edit2:
One of the best Cole Train moments from Gears 2
