Did a search couldn’t find a thread so I apologize in advance if there’s one already.
How’s everyone liking the beta? GOW2 is one of my favorite mp shooters but the beta improves on it in every way. The 2 biggest issues people bitched about were getting stuck to walls/cover at inconvenient times and inconsistent net code, it took Epic 3 games to fix but now you can switch from cover to cover easily and quickly. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m finding online to be silky smooth and it doesn’t take more then a minute or two to find a match:tup:
GOW2 stages were great but they’re much better in 3 especially checkout although I really miss fuel depot, mansion, and canals from 1 those were perfect. I really hope we get them in DLC.
Characters move faster and it seems everything kills fast so it’s pretty intense. Gnasher is the undisputed better choice over SO since you have to reload after every shot and it takes fucking years to reload but being able to no scope 1 shot multiple people is just too much fun to pass up.
I’m sticking with hammerburst so I didn’t get to use either lancer much but aside from maneuverable charge instead of chainsaw is there any difference between them?
ZOOLANDER…I’ve been playing the beta for the past 2 weeks. Me and you need to join up so we can roll in deep for the next couple of days. If I can get an SRK squad goin for the next couple of days I’d be down with that.
Gears is one of the few reasons why I miss my 360. These days I also miss it because it plays games on the Interwebs. Still, the game got old fast and Gears 2 was pretty much PSN today.
about to unlock cole train WOOOO
Im not liking a few little things.
Seems to still be a heavily shotgun reliant game.
Thrashball map is ass, period.
Distance with the Gnasher is retarded. Reload on the sawed off is waaaay too long
Both lancers are garbage, and the damage difference between retro and normal is negligible. And I dunno how many times I’ve hit somebody with the bayonet and just glanced off, even when it logically looks like I should have hit.
Melee is WAY too weak, and misses a lot.
You still get massively stuck on ledges, when trying to get down.
Picking up items takes FOREVER
executions are decent, and the game seems a little more fluid, and I look forward to the full version. But still not amazingly impressed
I think it’s a good medium between GoW1 and GoW2, GoW1 was too shotgun heavy, the lancer was shit, the maps were amazing though, far better than two. GoW2 was too assault rifle heavy, stopping power was fucking nuts, you couldn’t move, maps sucked dick, sniper sucked dick. GoW3? Shotgun’s better than GoW2, Lancer is better than GoW1, maps are pretty good so far, Sniper works like it did in Gears 1, new weapon additions are great, the oneshot and incendiary nades are the shit, digger is innovative as shit.
I like it, I’ll play it competitively and not drop it like the steaming pile of shit that was Gears 2.
wtf sniper is garbage in this game. I still don’t see active reload stuns 100% of the time. Oneshot shits all over sniper.
Also, yet again, melee is fucking HORRIBLE. Hitbox is terrible, and the damage is awful. The game seems based around getting active reloads or else. In the old games, you didn’t HAVE to get em
Sniper is garbage? It shouldn’t down in one active shot, you should have to get headshots with it. Either be good with it or keep sucking dick, imo. Melee range feels slightly shorter than Gears 1, but who gives a fuck about melees unless you’re going to two piece a guy? Nobody wants to be able to walk around with a pistol and double smack people so you don’t have to aim at all.
I will agree with the Gears 2 hate, one of the few games that actually deserves all the hate it gets.
I just got destroyed countless times last night and earlier today with that stunning move. I hate it!
I learned to play gears with the look and aim sensitivity on high, and zoom sensitivity on medium. I’m having a hard time tweaking the sensitivity in this beta to resemble that.
(Not so)Quick list of things I noticed today:
The one shot on trenches is fun. The Sniper’s placement in Oldtown is weird, and I haven’t seen someone use it well yet. The Digger is awkward for me. And Incendiary nades fit well, it was a no-brainer now that I think about it, they cover a lot of ground. They nerfed the ink nades badly. Like the stun it does now but the range is so poopy it seems.
Today definitely changed my overall opinion of it. Still not committing to buying it on day 1, I’m going to wait a couple weeks to see how the online shapes up. I remember the early days of GoW2 online, I literally made some sammiches one time while waiting for the game to find a match and came back to my room with plenty of time to spare before it found something.
I’ll prolly be on tonight to play it, feel free to throw an invite my way duders.
lol what games you been playing. Sniper always dropped a dude after active shot. Now its useless outside of headshots, thanks but no thanks. Melee is shit, period. Shouldn’t take a mis-aimed shotgun blast, and 3 melees that usually miss their target to drop a guy. And in GoW2 you could grab a meat shield and pistol fuck a guy and whip his ass down with one or two melees. Either way, two full clips of pistol (with or without active) should be enough to drop a guy. Hell even the patented roll melee shotty doesn’t work as well. I didn’t really enjoy GoW2 much, but still…
and Digger is amazing…I am shocked at how many people avoid it, considering it’s power. HOWEVER, I do think it needs more than 3 shots. Boomshot gets 3 and it’s WAY better. Bow gets 5, so let Digger get 4 shots
In Gears 1 it dropped people after an active shot, the entire time I played Gears 2 it didn’t drop after an active shot, because it shouldn’t. It’s not useless aside from headshots (which are piss easy to get by the way) one snipe shot with like 5 lancer shots is a down, it’s called teamwork, get some. Melees are still good for two piecing, which is what you should be doing with them, not missing a shotgun shot, and swinging three times like a retard. GoW2 did everything wrong with the gameplay aside from not downing with an active snipe round. That game sucked shit.
Anyways, I’m hype, I’ll be on this shit day one, I’ll probably buy the Razer Onsa and some new headphones for it aswell, I’m really looking forward to smashing fuckers on the MLG Circuit. Anyone else going to get really competitive with this game? It’s personally revived any love for console shooters that I have.
The Sniper downing in one active body shot was the most retarded fucking bullshit, and it being gone is a good thing. Made Sniper retarded easy mode. So fucking dumb.
