Yeah, hopefully you noobs can stop hating on the private matches, cause once TU3 is out, there's gonna (hopefully) be a ton of people on.

who the fuck knows they're not up yet.
It depends on if you like all sorts of gametypes in Gears. The DLC playlist isn't split up into any separate gametypes (like elimination and territories) so you'll most likely be playing a cocktail of all gametypes while in there. The maps themselves are pretty damn good though, some of us played in the DLC playlist tonight and had a good time.zedge said:
Played some Gears 1 for a bit again this morning and I am the complete opposite with blindfiring in both games. In Gears 1, I can blindfire a dudes head off with the sniper without much problem but can't even get close to hitting with the Torque. In Gears 2, I can't ever pull off a sniper blindfire but always get the blindfire Torques. I wonder what it is that makes them feel so different between the games.
I held off on joining any Fuel Depot matches because I want the new version to seem nice and fresh to me but I wonder when we might be getting to see some real previews of the Snowblind maps before they come out? I want to see these sum bitches.

Who is taking your place now? LOL. Pretty effed up. I haven't played since KZ 2's release (currently playing RE 5). I'll go back to Gears 2 MP to check out the T3 update, but I hate private matches too. For one, everyone likes to stay in a party (which fucks up private matches) and I'd rather kill with you than get killed BY you (Thirdengine why you are so good at games?)NubCakes09 said:
You guys dropped KZ 2 pretty friggin' fast, btw :lol
Nobody is really taking his place per say, just lots of people that we used to play with are all joining up together again so it's constantly way more full than it has been for a while. I agree too, staying in a party chat during Private matches is terrible, that's something I keep trying to get us to stop doing but it doesn't seem to go over too well. I've been pleading for us to cut down on doing the party chats in Ranked games too because it's fun to talk shit with some chump ass named "zXz BeAStG0d69 zXz" when we kick his teams collective ass.JB1981 said:
And ThirdEngine.. yes, Third has mindfucked me in every game we play with how consistently good he is at all of them. He just mows down anyone in sight and then is all modest about it. I got like two Torque headshots in a match on Blood Drive last night and I'm going all crazy because it was satisfying as fuck and I'm not expecting those results every time, but then he pops some ridiculous headshot with the sniper and doesn't say a word. douchebag total, amirite?
Speaking of Third, it's been a page since I last posted it, so GIRL SUIT TIME!

As Aladuf said no one has taken my place, its just that its pretty hard getting a spot on a 5 man team. But it's all good; I am glad to see that Gears is gaining (some) popularity with the Gaffers.
On the topic of private matches, I'm pretty sure that if we were to say no party chat, everyone would follow that.

The suit stays. -_-
yeah, I really don't care whether or not we're in party chat (although it gives me something to do when I die within the first 5 seconds of a round).
RE: Third. Yes, fucker pisses me off greatly with his skill. Last night he's all "fuck I'm playing terrible" and he's like 6-1 and I'm lucky to get out of a game with a k/d ratio >1. I'd take your terrible play over my best play anyday. :lol

Most smack talkers are full of shit. Those who are truly awesome just let their action speak for them, no words are needed.
Much respect to all the non-smack talkers out there.
Well, it's not really about smack talking anyone, what I mean is like, I'll get some blindfire Torque headshot and I kinda just go "whoa! hell yeah" or something and he does his business with the sniper rifle and... doesn't react. It's just because it's nothing to him, he faces no challenges anymore! :lolPedroLumpy said:

I certainly didn't mean to imply any sort of negative behavior on your part one way or another. I only played a couple games with ya, I had no complaints.

Same bad time, same bad place tonight?
Before the swarm of replies under this, how many of us have the Combustible maps? I had a hell of a good time getting into that playlist last night and I wouldn't mind doing it again for a bit tonight.
It's like when me and him were still playing Killzone 2 and he says to me once "You know 'Duf, this is the same feeling I got when I first started playing Gears 1.. I'm not really good at all but I'm having a hell of a good time." That match he came in first place with 145 points and the next person behind him that came in second place had 86 points. In KZ2, that is nowhere near close.
Nah, I gotcha. I knew you didn't mean anything like that. I remember playing with you too, I think you were on Third's friends list.. are you still playing Gears?PedroLumpy said:

Yeah, I get on occasionally. I'm just not consistently on Live every night, and you know, friends list are limited so I probably got filtered out. If you guys are still at it, and actually in need of people instead of overflowing with members ...... Although it just occured to me that I don't have the map packs. I'm not sure how Gears does it, but in Halo it's a HUGE problem cause they tie playlists into which maps you have ... Like I paid $60 to be told I can't play Big Team Battle without shelling out another $10.... fuckers......
Anyway, so yeah I still play occasionally, but no maps.
Shit, guys.. you all have good K/D's. Mine is right on 1.00, I think this is because I'm such a suicide player. I have the mentality of if I run into 5 people and come out of it with 1 kill and die in the process, then it's all good. Or, probably, I just suck at this game... actually, I'm just gonna go with that.

never forget
Back to Gears. So i made my way through the game on Insane last week on local co-op with my brother and found the actual firefights to be MUCH easier this time around than Gears 1, but we died a lot thanks to BS learn by dieing and what amounted to CPU spawn camping. Not bad, I enjoyed it, but the damn 150G achievement glitched! Usually I wouldn't care, but my brother got it and I didn't... so annoying. I'm probably gonna do another run through to get all the collectibles and I'll put my AI on Insane with my brother's on Casual, maybe it'll unlock for me then...
Anyone else miss all the collectibles being COG tags? I found all the tags in Gears 1 and really enjoyed searching for the Gear skull logo indicating a pair of tags was near by... All this game had was stupid pieces of paper.
