Gears of War 3 Scratch one grub!

Aww they ruined my sawed off fun.:wink: Oh well back to the gnasher again.

Nah I just played a bunch, shit is still real good.

You just don’t get absolutely ridiculous moments anymore.

did they release the patch yet or is it gonna be realsesed soon?

All i DLed was a system update not a game update.

gears is all about positioning/gettin the drop on people/ a clear shot.
The only time a straight up fire fight works is VS bots or in the campaign. (with ARs)
-So if people with a SO are gettin close to you, its your fault for not looking at them or paying attention.
Wallbouncing is gaaaay and is a shitty game flaw that developers leave in the fuckin game. Its stupid and should have been taken out but its probably t00 much work to go in the code and fix it.
I see wall bouncing as shitty as BXR, DHC, and everything else that developers leave in game. (quickscoping)

All a nerf is gonna do (depending on the severity of it), is gonna force people to play with the gnasher but the same thing will still happen. People are gonna run up on you and instead of being called a SO nub you’ll be a someone who doesn’t have skill to use the 3 shot rule… :confused:

I played last night and it felt like the spread of the shot was different too… i unno…

From the ā€œdiscussionā€ on epic forums if you could even call it that. The nerf is only on the dedicated servers from my understanding. As for wall bouncing I agree it’s pretty stupid but its been around since Gears 1, just part of the game now.

I know :frowning: stuff like that ruins games for me…
its like something for people that can’t play the game the way it was intended to be played… (in terms of, would the person actually do that or does it take away from the game)
-might as well just add shooting feature to the Rode run…

I don’t mind wallbouncing all that much but yeah it still is exploiting the games mechanics. Wallbouncers are free kills. Most of them make it so obvious at which wall they are going to bounce. Just wait for them to bounce to the wall and one shot them. Wallbouncing is a pretty effective way of avoiding all the rifles stopping power, not gonna lie I abuse it alot to avoid stopping power.
But I just don’t see how they could remove wallbouncing without making the game feel alot more sluggish.

Strafing is ALOT more important imo.

Well there is something kinda like that which was already used in Gears 1. You roadie run up to someone, you shoot, you roll and you continue running. I think people called it a Steamtrain.

Me and my friends called it ā€œThe Roadie Shotā€. If you time it right you shoot your gnasher the instant you come out of the roadie run animation and usually OHK the guy.

NEEDS more crab walking :smiley:

plus that wall hop thing, you should be able to counter it with a melee or something
Its kinda easy to avoid but on the of chance you forget or are busy, its auto death!

well tomorrow is torque bow tag weekend

all torque bows, all the time

Epic’s response to Anthony’s fraudulent audio

[details=Spoiler]

Fuck everyone and fuck everything. >:([/details]

Two weeks of grinding, DOWN THE DRAIN…

Ben Carmine it is…

it is disappointing. i hope they could sneak it into a title update, since they didn’t outright rule it out

you know what? i’d like to see a sire from gow2 as a locust mp character. his only lines would be ā€œraraghaghgle!ā€

Doesn’t the ;( mean they will fix it? its just gonna take time to fix?
lmao… dude, I ate some skittles and had a lil bit of flem in my mouth, I fuckin did the kantus SFX… and the one when they get shot and still groan

Thats another thing about this game… sometimes (the Carmines) when the get shot, they still make sounds, its makes me sad… ha…

I hate killing the cog as a locust

Sheeeit, I love it… I was one of those folks back in the Gears 2 days sittin’ around daydreaming about ā€œwouldn’t it be awesome to have a reverse version of Horde?!ā€. Of course this also reminds me of how disappointed I am with what Beast mode turned out to be so far. (*it could still live up to the potential if they’d just make a few changes here and there via updates.)

Ooh I just thought about it, speaking of those Sires… Sires with chainsaws would be a nice addition! Some months ago they had a special event with ā€œsurprisesā€ in Horde on Gears 2…one of those surprises were that Sires had the Lancer! This of course made them MUCH more dangerous. I think they would shoot it wildly as well, and if they got close…yeah, you’d get chainsaw-raped. Some interesting ideas came out of that event… Bloodmounts were spitting fire too, and the Wretches could walk up walls and ceilings.

i love these ideas…me and my son and his friends system link and have all weapon matches…only longshots ,only torkz,etc…

in a notice from epic, they said they’d be looking into improving torque bow tag and making it possible that you spawn with it as your only starting weapon

they were kinda disappointed in gears 2 when that version of the game type ended up playing as ā€œstill mostly shotguns, sometimes torque bowsā€

yo, is there an ez way to get the clever execution?
Do i just play horde?
only one im Missing :smiley:

Yeah Horde is the way to go, Or maybe the butcher in beast…if you play on casual?

Haven’t tried him yet, seems like a huge target. I did see my friend pick himt and be the distraction while all of us ticker them to shit.

…did Gears 2 have a pure deathmatch/slayer/FFA? Can’t remember.

I just want a game mode where I can shoot everybody…

not really. TDM is new to gears 3. there were respawn centric types like guardian and annex/koth, but its obvious that gears 3 just plays so much better than gears 2 ever did. i personally like koth the most in gears 3.

butcher is like the worst pick in beast. he’s like the only monster that has no practical use. and his attacks do not count toward the execution, only horde kills with the cleaver (which you get from the savage therons too)

the cleaver is terribly unused too. i don’t think you can even enable it in custom games. i had hoped it would be like all plasma swords game types from halo, which happen to be very stupid and very fun.

Spawning with only cleavers would be so funny, the game would boil down to 5v5’s or risk getting picked off 1v5, not that I’m shooting it down cuz that would be hilarious to watch.
