Why I can't join a single Horde or Beast game? I play Versus no problem but i cant join anything else. NAT is open.
As CliffyB said, squeezing more power from the 360 now is like squeezing water from a stone. We're at the limit.AEREC said:
Time for a new era although economically speaking, launching a new platform can be risky considering the state of the financial market.
The 360 is in a state where the SNES/PS2 was at its time. Focus on art creation as the power has all been tried and documented.

Just finished the SP campaign on hardcore on my own.
Can't wait for insane 4 player co-op.
Games was clearly easier than the last game on hardcore.
I had no real trouble going though the game.
But for now its horde time for the rest of the next couple of years

Same. I like executing downed locusts and the headshots and gibs are more satisfying to me. I also find the Lambent explosions kind of annoying.

this is a little dissapointing...I just started act 3 on hardcore and was wondering when it would get harder. I guess it really doesnt though.

Just a quick sorry to the few people that invited over the past day or so. I had notifications turned off so I could just get through the campaign. Hopefully get a game with some of you at somepoint. Just need to get hang of the MP again.

Is it just me or does this look MUCH better than the previous Gears games? I've really been blown away by the graphics and lighting, so many moments where you just have to stop and appreciate it. Amazing stuff. Definitely one of the best-looking games I've ever seen on a console.
Also I'd forgotten how much fun Horde mode is. What a blast, especially with all the new additions. Got to lvl35 on the beach level with a five-man group last night and it was just wall-to-wall awesome, can't wait to play a lot more. Is there a GAF friends Gamertag I should know about? I can see myself playing a lot of Horde.
In other Gears news I tried playing in 3D. The 3D effect works well but it makes the game too dark overall, it's too hard to see stuff that you really need to see, especially in a firefight, and you just don't get to appreciate the beauty of the graphics nearly as much. I turned it off, much better IMO.

yeah I'm evil and part of the problem....
I purchased the pulse skin but I do not see it on the list of skins for my weapons.
Do I need to do something before its there to choose or?
Going to play some horde tonight (EU timezone) I'm looking forward to it.

It looks great, but i still think Uncharted 2 and God Of War III look better. Uncharted 3 will probably blow this away. I do like that they finally added some color to this game though.

Fuuuuuccckk, stuck at school all day, wanna play and beat the damn game. Got to where
during campaign, which of course leaves me really really wanting to continue. Does this game have a good pay off?
Ok, so on the MP front, I really like the maps, but I wish there were a larger variety of environments. I absolutely LOVE what they are doing with the engine with lighting and color in this game, but I still want some rainy/dreary and or snowy environments. I really liked the tone of past gears games, which had a very moody style. Mix that in with the new current style and boom, greatest variety ever. Damnit though, I want more maps already!
So yeah, I am really enjoying Gears 3, and I am actually not sucking at it like past gears games.

Ive noticed this too. And thats not to say the first two werent lookers or anything, because they are some of the best looking games this gen IMO. But this third one just looks amazing and incredibly polised. Another thing Ive noticed is how good the sound is as well.

I dislike the fragmentation that any paid map packs cause to the online community. I hated having so many different playlists for all the different map packs in Gears 2. There are plenty of other ways to monetize the game (multiplayer character skins, weapon skins, campaign DLC, avatar items, in-game cosmetic changes, etc.) so why not release new maps as part of title updates to keep people interested in the game? This is part of the philosophy that Valve follows and it has been very successful for them.
If free DLC is coming, hopefully it will include some free maps that can be used in the standard playlist(s) that everyone can enjoy.

I really wish there was custom community lobbies where we could all meet up and once so many people were ready to place, it should ship them into a game and keep the lobby alive. With three different GAF gamer tags and the way its set up, Ive tried for 2 evenings to play with some GAFers to no luck.

Am I really the only one who's been trying to play this in 3D? I feel like the depth effect is worth it but the dim colors are an issue. Someone suggested turning up in-game brightness, has anyone had luck finding settings that work well for them in 3D?
I need some help fixing my chat issues. First off, I can hear "Party" members just fine. The problem is when I get into "Game" chat and I can't hear any of my teammates. I see the little speaker icons flashing, so I know they are talking, but I can't hear them.
To make it more confusing, last night I was in a party with one of my friends. I can hear him just fine. Then we realize our Horde teammates are talking, so we leave our party and enter game chat. Now I can hear my friend, but nobody else. My friend can hear everybody.
So whats going on here? I'm thinking I must have some setting checked where I only hear friends? But I can't find anything in the stupid console menus OR the Gears 3 menus that would fix this. Any advice? I really need to hear people because I'm going to be playing a lot of PUB Horde games....

Having a bit of trouble in an early section of Act II
I need to get into a locust fortification without them setting off the alarms. I get to what I assume is the last section and I shoot the guard the game tells me to. A moment later, the alarm sounds even though I don't see anyone else to shoot. Am I missing something?

they give you a a one shot and some sniper rifles so you can always snipe them as they go for horns. I think there are a total of 3 horns and the first guy is easy to just pick off with a rifle. after that just move forward slowly and snipe the guys on top of the barricades.

I saw on the back of the box that it was 3D compatible, was really curious how it looked with a game this nice looking.

Depending on the PC, of course, it would/will have better graphics. It's not an opinion.. it's reality. So I am not sure what exactly he would be jealous of. Other than the game not coming out on PC... which is a bitch because this game is top notch.
