Someone said it earlier but I demand an answer:

Whose idea was it to show the LAST level at E3? I thought the press conference was freaking amazing, but kind of took some of the oomph out of it the second time around when playing. Were they just really pressured to make a bang at E3 or something? There were plenty of earlier parts to show, imo, that would have achieved the same goal.

Yeah, I thought Act 3 was scary in a creepy kind of way. Kind of like BioShock.StoOgE said:NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!????!!!!!
to be fair, I think they did plenty with Bezerkers in the first game. They were by favorite parts but the last two encounters (on the train and the greenhouse) were pretty much pure win... and I think they had problems with the AI with the Kryll since everyone kept killing themselves
Also, I liked Chapter 3 (I'm not done yet) but my favorite parts are the stop and pop shooting which it lacked much of. Other than the. I think the strength of Chapter 3 was the ambiance and setting which ruled in a creepy kind of way. Much more effective than the factory in Gears 1. Well, the setting and the flame thrower.razer hail, which was pretty freaking awesome and worked as the kryll stage
I got the "Hoard the Horde" achievement last night 
That was the most intense shit I've ever played in a long time lol. Spent at least 4 hours with a bunch of buddies to do it...Wave 50 was seriously, unforgettable...
We played on the map with the balconies and a hole in the center (forgot the name); it's the one where there's a Hammer/ Mortar on one balcony and a Torque/ Sniper on the other. Anyway, the last few enemies left were fucking BloodMounts :lol and they came up the steps, cornered all 4 of us on top of one balcony and we just kept dying, reviving, dying, reviving, while shotgunning the hell out of them.
Awesome time...Awesome game...Action game of the decade!!!

SUPAMAAANNNNNNN
The dude is down, bleeding out.. not jumping.
This happened in Third and I's Wingman match. Also, in the Wingman match right before this one, I was Dom and Third was Tai.. and we were supposed to be both Dom. Everyone in the match was screwed up. There was Sniper and a Theron working together, etc.
Confuzzling.

A good while is enough to create tunnels throughout the entirety of the planet, on top of the architechture we see in the Hollow? I don't know about that. And Dom noting how old everything appears seems like it would feel rather misleading if its truly only been fifteen years. The dilapidated cities of Sera look aged after fifteen years. The Hollow looks ancient by comparison.
It doesn't simply appear to be destroyed or chipped away at by slaves. It appears to have been weathered and aged by time.
Like I tried to expand on in my edited post, I think its plausible that the current version of the Locust you fight in the game are indeed the result of experimentation, but it seems to me that something much more docile must've been inhabiting the underground for a long, long time before this. Perhaps the change also has something to do with immulsion, seeing how much the normal Locust hate the Lambents, and what a mutative agent it can be.
I don't think there's much definitive to be drawn at this point. There's a lot of valid theory you can make from what they've offered, but its all open enough to accommodate multiple ideas.

CliffyB if you're out there please extend my praise to Steve Jablonsky for one of the best videogame soundtracks I've heard. It's so very very awesome.
when I heard he'd be doing it I was thrilled but it turned out to be even better than I expected.

After 30 waves of Hardcore I had no problem with him downing the difficulty, that was the hardest thing I've ever attempted in gaming. But if we start fresh on a map that we all agree on being a good map for Horde with a good strategy then we could tackle it on Insane, we just have to keep a hold of our Boomshields which was impossible to do last night since we started back up on Wave 30 and it never allowed us to even get Boomshields.Flunkie said:But you seemed perfectly content with Casual last night.

Soundtrack is one more thing which is much better in Gears 2. Keeps up well to create epic scale mood.
No problem, we'll have some of the old Burnout crew reassembled on Gears. A couple of us play already.Dot50Cal said:
What?! You never asked and I never said that we did get to 31 on Hardcore. You simply didn't ask for the details.Flunkie said:By the way, thanks for letting me believe you got to 31 on Hardcore, asshole.

I had some thoughts about that too..[Nintex] said:
Between what Adam Fenix said and the Locust Queen's dialogue as Jacinto was sinking (something along the lines of "Everyone leaves an impression, but it may not be the impression they desire") it makes me think that Delta squad (or the COGs as a whole) will maybe be looked down on as the bad guys or something by the humans in Gears 3. I don't know how that would affect the game or what them being viewed as the bad guys would even matter in Gears 3 but I thought it was possible.
reaver help... please
any help would be appreciated.
i love the game but i definitely see where the complaints come from from single player. if you are going to do something, do it right. grrr
i need help defeating the giant reaver that chases you after you escape through the woods after the palace. yeah, i can dodge the missiles just fine, but i cant figure out how to get away from the mouth when the bastard grabs me. can i dodge the grab? can i escape? do i need to target a specific part of it at a specific time to avoid the bite that kills me (the 3rd)?
any help would be appreciated.

Well if that's the case, bring on Insane tonight. We get a good game going, who knows what we'll be able to pull off. I'll be on at 7:00 as well.
