Gears of War 3 Scratch one grub!

Has the scorcher been buffed or are there just more people online messing around.

The scorcher became the best weapon in the game for a short time, literally would down people in less than 2 seconds. They brought it back down.

Also, they put back stopping power on retro and hammerburst. And according to CliffyB’s twitter Overpass has been removed from the online rotation, only temporary.

Thank God. Overpass is such an awful map.

Thank god on Overpass.

I’ve spent the past 2 weeks boosting for Golden Hunter (for shame, I know, I just hate 99% of locust skins, and made a goal for myself), I’m 600 lancer kills from getting it hopefully will have it tomorrow then back to my grind for 100.

Surprisingly, I play smarter now when I go online, instead of retardedly…

Thank God. Overpass is such an awful map.

Is your friends list still open? I’ll add you if you want. I’m usually down to run some execution if we have a full party. I’ve got plenty of people to play with so we usually can scrape together five people. If not, we usually just mess around in KOTH working on wall-bouncing/shotgun stuffs.

Going to re post my level tier list as it has changed since last time (it is basically a personal opinion list on how much I enjoy the maps). Remember that most of my opinion comes from Execution and not TDM.

S: Hotel, Old Town, Depths
A+: Clocktower, Azura, Bullet Marsh
A: Trenches, Academy, Gridlock, Drydock, Mercy, Escalation
**B+: **Checkout, Blood Drive, Slab
B: Rustlung, Anvil
C: Thrashball
**F: **Sandbar
Complete Fucking Garbage: Overpass

Clocktower for S++ tier
And something is wrong with the remake of blood drive. I think it just might be the gears 3 engine has shorter cover slide distances than gears 2. Oh and it seems more open in the middle

New map packs coming out in march 27th, all of them seem to have that gimmicky sandstorm shit on trenches.

BOY I CAN’T WAIT, I LOVE BEING ABLE TO NOT SEE SHIT.

going_awol · 2012-02-23T07:37:31.000Z

Yeah i heard they wanted all the new maps to have weather gimmicks (Left Bumper to victory). I think Jacinto has heavy rain.
If they want to bring back maps with gimmicks, where the hell is avalanche.

NissanZaxima · 2012-02-23T07:39:11.000Z

I dont think the weather will be a big issue. Im excited for the new maps… fuck this game is so awesome.

Add me up on Live, sektrONE.

going_awol · 2012-02-23T07:56:14.000Z

Does anyone think the flame nades are getting a little ridiculous? The kill range on those bastards unbelievable.

Oh and my GT is i GOING_AWOL i

NissanZaxima · 2012-02-23T07:59:52.000Z

Yea I thought the buff from the flame nades was a little much. The total area around where you can kill someone is way to big. I thought it was fine before where it was pretty much a direct hit meant a kill.

going_awol · 2012-02-23T08:03:58.000Z

i wont be able to play till next tuesday because of exams, but i should be on tuesday night.

Gears is probably the hardest game out there to be extremely consistent in hahahaha

Nando · 2012-02-24T05:03:48.000Z

i think its the map and team-mates

gotta know when to switch it up

CrispyTacoz · 2012-02-24T05:11:28.000Z

Playing Gears ranked Execution with randoms is THE WORST POSSIBLE thing ever.

PatakaReada · 2012-02-24T05:13:54.000Z

Just got back to this after about a month or so. Game is still fun, but are they always gonna keep it like this, where you have to buy the DLC maps to have dedicated servers?

sektr · 2012-02-24T11:34:46.000Z

Okay so just wanted to throw this out there, but in your guys’ opinions what are the most/least used COG/Locust characters (not including defaults)?

In my opinion:

Most Used
COG: RCC, Anthony Carmine, Onyx Guard
Locust: Savage Kantus, Theron Elite

Least Used
COG: Prescott/Adam Fenix, Griffin, Classic Marcus
Locust: SGE, Golden Hunter, Beast Rider

Most likely. I can only see them changing this if people kick up a fuss (im surprised there wasn’t any)

I don’t agree with them limiting the servers to people with dlc, so im trying to avoid buying it but lags too much for me without the servers. Its a struggle just to leave the spawn it keeps reseting
