Gears of War 2 |OT| ...Maria...MARIA!!!
- Thread starter Aladuf
- Start date
Damn that last team was tough, had great strategy. Security is probably one of the best maps in the game - very tense, very tough games on that map.
Good playing with you guys. Hopefully we'll get to play again this weekend. Time for some shuteye - fucking work tomorrow (thank god monday is a holiday

Hey I saw you guys playing earlier in a party with someone on my friendslist. I will add you next time I see you on. Or add me.... "ThisSplitLip"
I'm getting tired of L4D and Gears is the only other shooter in town for me.

Good matches tonight. That little bit of Horde was a nice break from the usual routine.
Classic RSTEIN.
Where the hell have you been the past couple nights?
:lol :lol :lolRSTEIN said:*Third zips up his velour tracksuit*
"Let's do this! This is JUST a warm up! No Hammerbursts or Torques. Just a few quick laps around the old Gridlock."
Classic RSTEIN.
Yep, that team worked really well together. That fourth round was intense.JB1981 said:

Yeah man, those were good matches, and thanks again for humoring me to finish Horde. Same props to the others (Aladuf and co.). That achievement was elusive. As far as our multi matches go, that team in that one security match was a goddamn pain in the ass! Still can't believe we fell to them. That was some SWAT style strategy. They had to have been a group of five that all knows each other and plays together all the time. No way a bunch of randoms would be *that* organized.ThirdEngine said:
Either way, we'll definitely have to all get together and do it again soon!

What's more satisfying than having crushed a group of whiny little scumbags after being talked down at the beginning of the match? NOTHING.
Map: Security
Exact Location: To the side of Mortar/Mulcher spawn.
Round: 5
Locust team: 3 players
My team: 1 (myself)
Result: Hilarity
A locust attempts to kill me with a 2-piece. Successfully lands an elbow to my face but proceeds to fail at aiming a shotgun. No time to switch over to shotgun so I go for a chainsaw kill. While chainsawing, I spot the last two locust rushing to my location; of course, my immediate thought is, "fuck me, I'm not getting away from them. Oh well, I got one bastard at least." What happens next? The security lasers activate killing the two dumbasses as they jump through the opening. :lol
Round ends, the COG win the match. Opposing team leaves the room before the 20 seconds are up making it impossible for my team to talk smack back
Moments like these are what make Gears special. A glorious match this was.

Great matches, especially the horde smackdown. It's nice to play a horde match with more than 3 people at that level .
That last match in security was crazy. Those were actual clan tactics. Almost every head poking out was accompanied by another squad member laying in hiding, or another squad member flanking you. That, and the magic 1-hit kill hammerbursts made a tough match.

Yeah man, I need to get me a code to download one of those hammerbursts. It was fucking legendary. I remember one of you thought the dude controlling Hoffman had "host lancer" too... Either way, there was some tomfoolery going on in that match. Sucks that we lost the match but at least we still managed to stick it to them a few rounds.draven said:

The chainsaw is going to be added as another thing they're fixing for TU3.

Apparently (as far as I can read), as an active chainsaw came closer to an opponent, it took more hits/damage to take the chainsaw down and is a bug.

Wednesday Lost was on at 9, and I went to bed afterwards, and last night I had practice 9. However, I got my wisdom teeth pulled today, so I'll be on tonight prolly around 10. I'll be on a lot this weekend. (hopefully)

No, I think the "actives" are referring to the opposing weapon (HB and shotty). I had to make sure of that, because if active reloading a lancer increased the vacuum, and Epic actually was stupid enough to confirm it before it was fixed, the game would be fucked until TU3...
Still, good news that they're fixing the chainsaw vacuum.

Played 5 games tonight with some buddies, and we got standbyed ALL 5 TIMES!
I can deal with being off-host, but when people bridge so they get host, and then standby when they start losing...I can't deal with that. I really like this game, but I'm either gonna have to stand bridging myself to get a clean game, or move onto something else.

:lol I was just checking my Gears stats for the first time in forever and I saw how I am quite the shotgun fan.
To give a sample:
Kills: 2,152
Gibs: 1,266 (I'm assuming there's no other thing that counts towards "Gibs" besides shotty)
edit: I take that back, either the site isn't totally accurate or something else does count towards gibs.. maybe anytime you cause someone to blow up or whatever, it counts. Anyways, the "real" shotty kill count is a slightly underwhelming 743.
and for fun:
Chainsaw Kills: 158
And for those of us who play Ruins together and have been destroying teams since we set up that strategy in early December my personal stats say I'm 30-15 on the map.. so that's a not too bad 2.00 Win/Loss ratio.

hahaha! It would be so wild to play against Soulja boy
And I just checked my stats, and I haven't played Gears all that much. Total time is 1 day and 18 hours, so I definitely need to play more. My "best" map is my least favorite map, Stasis, where I am 8-1.
What time is everyone getting on today?

I seriously want to get a group together and play against him and his crew. Shit would be epic.
As far as tonight goes, probably aroud 8:00-9:00.

I should be on in about an hour or two, and definitely be on tonight.
Alright, I was wrong guys we did lose at least 1 match during the night. There was the one match on Pavilion where Nub got disconnected and Beamber quit out or whatever. We were winning it but they mauled us once those 2 left. But we had at least a 10 win streak after that for the rest of the night.
And that Torque kill was by far my greatest Gears 2 kill. I still can't believe that happened.

WOW!!!! so probably about 40% of the matches I played tonight ended up with the host standbying. Is there anyway that they can even fix this??? If not I think im gonna have to say goodbye to gears, or maybe just go exclusively horde or try to organize private games. Thank god SF4 is coming out in two days.

True that, man. I know I only took part in maybe an hour or two of the 10, but it was a fun hour or two.Aladuf said:Time flies even moreso when all of us are on our A game. Nobody touched us...now we'll all do terrible tomorrow night
Granted, I didn't do much to add to my kill count, but I did drop quite a few fools and provide some good distractions; meanwhile you guys flanked the sumbitches and took 'em down!After most of you took off, ZeroCool and I kept on playing... Did some games on the Combustible Maps where people just couldn't seem to suck it up and play the map or mode chosen; we were in several 5-on-3 games because two of our team members quit before or during the matches. Bastards.
One of these days I'll be on at the same time you guys start, I swear.

Pleas add/remove this in the next big update. I know you're reading this Clifford.
Add
+Make the hammerburst a bit more accurate. By doing this maybe we'll get the long ranged battles (while others flank etc) that were meant to be in the game.
+Melee weapons. Like the staff Skorge has, but no cheating chainsaw "auto-suck the enemy to you", just normal damage. (I know it might not even be possible this one, but I just want it so bad)
+When playing Guardian, give the leader some sort of edge over the rest, I don't what, but something at least (maybe other default weapons?).
+Add some of the Gears 1 maps that aren't there yet. Escalation, Fuel Station, etc.
Remove
-Less shotgun bullets by default. This will make sure people will only use it when the time is right for it.
-Smoke grenades by default. It should be a pick-up like the frag and poison grenades. (or just make smokes like they were in the first game, and add some new "flashbang" sort of grenade that has the effect the smoke has now)
-"auto-suck the enemy to you" effect of the chainsaw. I know this'll never happen, but it would really help the game a lot. So if you're not doing this, PLEASE make sure in the next update every weapon is able to just cancel the chainsaw action when shooting on it, cause most of the time it won't stop or flinch, but just continue. (while it did work in the first game)
-Remove the annoyance of being 'glitched' at the beginning of a round, fucks up everything that you just can't do a thing for a whole round. Really should've fixed this already.

HB more accurate? More power to me then
Host Hammerburst is crazy. Even crazier than Host Shotty or Lancer. I really feel bad when hosting and using HB...sometimes.
