Yep, and it's probably one of the most satisfying types of kills in the game. I recently pulled it off in Old Town. I was down by the digger spawn and an enemy was firing at me from the scorcher area up top. I just popped out of cover and hipfired a hail Mary digger at him and watched as it sunk right into his chest. Hilarious.

Beast mode is pretty fun once you have enough people. However, 12 waves seems short. It seems like there could have been way more gameplay possibilities, but it all ends too quickly.Grisby said:Beat Beast Mode. A lot of fun but you don't get much XP for it,

That was some of the sickest shit I've ever seen. A humbling video.
Also, anyone figured the best mode to get XP yet? I'm hedging my bets on KotH or Horde, just trying to get to level 30 and get me some classic Baird like I used to play in Gears 1/2

Horde has been treating me well in the XP department. It just sucks playing Matchmaking because if the host leaves, it restarts the wave and you have to re-buy everything.LeonSKennedy90 said:
By the way, is there gonna be a fix for this?

That's exactly why the SOS isn't a big deal. It's one shot with no range. I can probably count the times I've been surprised by a SOS on one hand.
Man I wish I could record, I did in the past but it's just too much of a hassle with the setup I used to have. I would of had a really nice clip yesterday.
I was playing on Gridlock and I had just gotten the sniper. Two guy rushed me up the stairs and I blindfired, rolled back and immediately did a quick no scope. 2 Headshots. Stuff like this is impossible in Gears 2.

I think it's perfect
My problem with the game is that every other weapon feels too powerful. Noone even bother using the gnasher, actually :/ It's all SOS and retro, retro and SOS, SOS and retro...

The best thing about SOS users is how they all go on a flowchart. One of my favorite Gears 3 moments so far was on sandbar, I got the longshot and saw a guy camping on a pillar with it. He sprinted at me, I knew he was going to roll forward into shooting it, so I aimed down, shot, heard a POP and saw him immediately leave the game.
I am complete shit with the longshot but rolling headshots are the most satisfying thing ever.

I still haven't seen anyone really use the Retro, or at least kill me with it, and I'm level 28. Seems once that recoil went out, people just stopped spraying like dummies. I'm seeing all Lancer/Hammerburst on the rifle range, which is fine by me, since those weapons are godlike. I think the Hammerburst is "better", but I'm far more accurate and consistent with the Lancer(both with my aiming and my active reloads).

Yeah, regarding the SOS:
I'm pretty new to Gears. I never played multi until the Gears3 Beta, really. I'm trying to be a good player and develop my game so I'm going with the Hammerburst + Gnasher since they seem to be the 'skilled' weapons. But I am getting my ass kicked. I can't down people with the Hammy before they get to cover and I get rocked by SOS users when I roll the Gnasher. I'm not like straight-out-bad, and I can top the team when I run Retro + SOS, but it feels nooby.
Any advice? Should I keep trying to take the high road and stick with Hammy/Gnash or should I just do what it takes?
EDIT: Wait, the Lancer is worth something now? Isn't that gun super weak in Versus?

I haven't seen many retro users either, people are sleeping on it like crazy. I rolled with it in the beta but I actually think it's better now, albeit much less braindead. I started with the lancer/gnasher but now go retro/gnasher(unless it's a big map) and have maintained a 2.6 kdr. Shit just tears everyone up.

Do you ever pull out your shotgun or do you just keep the Retro out for everything?

Thanks again to Skilotonn and Shadowlink for helping me get the Savage Kantus and Savage Grenadier Elite skins! These two look so awesome in game.

no point in pulling out a shotgunGenesis Knight said:
retro kills everything at close and mid range
long range it still is powerful in short bursts
I like how easily you mow down SOS rushers, but it feels cheap honestly

Longshot is awesome in Gears 3. As long as you don't move around much you can no scope all day long.

Don't think host migration was on the top of their list.vaelic said:

I think the weapons are all pretty balanced, in close quarters type maps the SOS feels a bit much but only because that scenario really suits that weapon. On a large majority of the map it's use is really limited if you know to keep away, the range is pretty terrible.
I had a lot of luck with the retro last night, in execution it works pretty well due to the damage , downing guys. To be honest I think all the of weapons are good, it all comes down to how you play.

Downing and killing by spamming the retro is what I mean.Jadedx said:
I do use both the lancer and hammerburst for mid to long range distance kills. To prevent enemies from capturing the circle in Koth, or from getting power weapons. Also works to separate enemies when they're rushing you if you start putting shots in them. It's useful and efficient.
SOS and retro are pointless to me for close range if I already have my superior Gnasher buddy with me.
gnasher can down a guy with 2-3 shots mid range, that's what I call cheap.Ballistik said:Downing and killing by spamming the retro is what I mean.

I don't follow why that is considered cheap.Jadedx said:

The whole fucking game is so cheap. Using guns to shoot people? Cheap.

Science fiction, the shotgun can do whatever they want it to. All that matters is how it works in the context of gameplay, and that is very well
