This. I like a skill gap with my power weapons. glares at boomshot
O.o? Are you crazy? faster reload on the Sawed off shotty? Hell no. It’s that way for a good god damn reason. You want a shot gun with a lot of power that is just about 90-95% guaranteed to kill if people are hit by it? That’s fine…Just make sure that shot you’re taking WILL hit or you’re fucked. That’s balanced enough for me…I’m already seeing enough people abusing the hell out of it as is. If it shot like the Gnasher and retained the power that it had I’d be pissed.
Also I’m also in agreement that kicking people in the face over cover is a good addition and helps give offensive options to people trying to get to people behind it. It’s not the end all be all either because you can still miss it and then you’re probably gonna end up having your back blown out by a shot gun.
I plan on playing more tonight in a few once I’m done looking at gaming news. I’ll add Chupa and Soviet when I get on.
Also, Soviet, the retro lancer does an assload more damage per round than the lancer, and the spread on retro lancer is fucking horrible, so yeah, there’s a large difference. And they’re not ass, they’re just good now, not over-powered as fuck like GoW2, and not horrible like in GoW1. Two people shooting at one guy with a lancer in the open? He’s not doing anything, at all. lets alone three people focusing one member.
The campaign trailer for the game is up.
September 20 can not get here soon enough for me. I’m having withdrawal from the beta. also ah jeez at the console wars sparked in the comments.
Someone came into my work a few days back and I was telling him about the beta and he said he and some other people used to play on MLG and for this game they are only going to allow the use of the regular lancer and the gnasher. Apparently they find that the other weaons are too imbalanced and powerful and I really disagree with this. Can anyone who has played MLG before please explain to me why this is a good idea to just start banning shit before the full game is even out? Felt like something straight ripped out of the smash community.
Dude that came into your work is lying. MLG certainly doesn’t set rules before an official game is released. They even had the retail version of Reach months before release and MLG v1 rules for it weren’t released until like two after the game came out. They’re going to take their time with it and make sure it plays right.
It sounded incredibly ridiculous but I don’t follow MLG like that so I wasn’t about to just call bs on him without proof. Thank you for clearing that up.
i actually have no complaints about the game so far except for that stage with all the dust that comes up from time to time. they need to tone that shit down a little bit.
I’m very happy with beta as is the only change Epic needs to make is lower reload time of sawed off.
You really want that? You sure you wanna ride that train?
I can live with having to reload after every shot but the reload time is soo long it’s a joke, no one who wants to win will use sawed off it it stays as is except me because it’s so much fun to kill 3 people with 1 shot. Fun does not equal balanced though,
That’s the pay off though of that shotgun though. You get a more powerful shot but at the expense of having to reload after every one that you use. I could probably live with maybe the reload speed being cut down by like .5/1 second and 1 second is really stretching it imo. I’d really prefer the reload speed of that shotgun to remain where it is. I’ve seen enough people actually miss that shot and manage to get away clean by dodging and using cover just long enough to get perfect reloaded shot into it and ready. It’s just something that if you’re going to be using that shot gun you have to know what your plan B is immediately in regards to the surrounding area…and that’s IF you somehow are close enough with it and still miss.
Decreasing the reload time on the Sawed Off will lead to nothing but bad times. That thing can wreck an ENTIRE team in 1 shot. If you miss with that thing man…you deserve to die and really people get away with missing it all the time to through good run away plans an shit.
i disagree. The reload time is TOO long. Nobody says it needs to be that much faster, but you could cut off 25% of the reload time, and it would still be lengthy and fair

They’re actually putting effort into Hoard Mode. Nice.
I actually had no interest in 3 until they showed off Horde mode. Then it became must have.
