Nice game, seesharp, kiryani, LosDaddies, and zyzy...
Too bad it's late and we couldn't get beyond 40.

How'd you make them understand how to kill berserkers? I just got to 20 with randoms and was telling them (I was the only one with a mic) to set them on fire, but they just kept shotgunning away. Very frustrating.Ramirez said:Just made it to wave 38 with a bunch of randoms, and then one dropped.

Sandbar is god awful for TDM. Just get all five of your guys up top middle (Digger) and you can't lose.

I haven't had much time to sink into this yet, but so far (played up to Act 2), this game just might get my vote for best looking console game yet. I think it tops Uncharted 2 for sure...but not sure about God of War 3. I'd have to replay God of War 3 to really be sure, but I think Gears 3 might look even better than that. The lighting is the best I have ever seen. Pretty impressive feat for 6 year old hardware.
I'm also impressed by the sheer amount of shit that is happening on the screen during an intense battle. It feels more like a real war (not that I would know what a real war feels like) than ever.

1 hour 55 sleep I'm gonna get , but oh well.
I sent you all friend requests too :]
Yeah, be safe at work today.
Mainly this aspect of seasoned and GOOD players able to play the game most effeciently with newbs not having much of a chance, and most of all, the inclusion of power weapons spawning ON-MAP are big Arena shooter features. Sounds to me like you're more of a class based/CoD kind of guy.DanielJr82 said:I guess I don't.
Other Arena shooters include Quake and Unreal. As far as "modern" examples, Halo.

I'm thinking TDM in general is turning out to be shitty, I'll have to play more to really confirm that though. It just seems to bring out all the worst crap.
It's the opposite for me. The guns and explosions completely drown out dialogue and music.HIGH DEF JEFF said:
It was actually easy on Hardcore. SOS one hit kill almost everything (including Boomers) and grenade stick on you know what. Should have thrown in some Lambent Zerkers. Haha.Proelite said:

Just beat the campaign, it was one hell of a thrill ride from start to finish. Easily the best of the trilogy, I'll probably go through again on hardcore sometime soon. Now that I'm done with the single player though I can finally jump into online!
During some parts you're fighting the lambent and the locust. Why this mechanic wasn't used more frequently.... I don't know. Shit was intense when you were fighting off mutating Drudges while locust were firing on them too, and then firing on you.Proelite said:
Reminded me of the fights from Halo CE with Flood vs Covenant vs You.

I had this happen tonight. Just weird things like getting one shotted by the gnasher from a good 10-15 feet away. One match I was chasing a guy unawares and literally put 4 shots into his back from point blank, another teammate was doing the same (and obviously upset by his outburst on the mic lol) he ends up turning around and SOS'ing us with one shot and kept on trucking. Charged a guy with the retro in the back, went right through him and got SOS'd. I think I ended the night with a .7 k/d. /sadface
Aside from the weird lag, there's got to be some mathematical algorithm based on planetary alignment with how to use the shotguns. I basically got nut-mashed all night long by both the gnasher and the sos. I try wall bouncing, I'm barely decent at it, getting two sometimes 3 shots in and then I'm just insta-dead. Or I'm defending a node, see a guy coming around the corner while I'm taking cover on it and do the simultaneous stick+trigger and get the shot off but somehow get killed... while the guy is charging.
Just a pretty frustrating night. I got into GoW late and never really played the multi, avoided gow2 multi on friend's advice and just started this. But I'm not horrid, I can top the boards with the difficult bots. Which brings up another point.
If you "practice" with the bots you basically can level yourself out of "casual" which is meant for beginners I'm guessing? My first match it was greyed out and I had to just do the normal ranked matches. Which is like being thrown to wolves basically lol.
Also, it would be nice to have some kind of parity on the bots in a match. I understand filling a match with bots, but spread them out. I had two times tonight where it was a party of 5 vs 4 bots and me.. didn't go so well.
PS is there a way to lock people in a party out of the random games? Or does it make people in a party play ranked matches? If it doesn't, it should.
but alas, it's probably just me being old and yet again having a game come out only to see in the first few days that there's just no way I'll be able to invest the amount of time it takes to get all the nuance and technical skills to play it at an enjoyable level in multi.
Feels bad.
Edit note: Didn't want to look trollish on this. This is just concerning me being bad at the MP of the game. The single and co-op modes are great.

Halo is kind of like one. Stuff like Unreal Tournament and Quake are arena shooters. They typically have weapons spawn on map and the players have to seek out and fight over them.
edit: I don't know what the draw of TDM is. Warzone has always been what Gears is about to me.

Sounds like fun, sorry I couldn't help you out with Horde, but ya'll made it through fine anyway it seems. The thing about Horde is you got set aside some serious hours if you wanna play it, and time just got away from me today.

Been playing the MP for a few days now. I don't think I've ever been this inconsistent in any MP game ever. I get absolutely slaughtered most of the time. When I get a good game going of course it's fun, but most of the time the matches I'm in are so ridiculously lopsided that is sucks all the fun out of the match.
If players aren't in a party there always seems to be that one really good player that can just steam roll the randoms on my team. Execution seems to be a little better, but more often than not it turns into a SOS orgy. Also not too fond of the revive system. I know I get points for the down, but everyone is so eager to just run up and take credit for the kill.... ....-_- The only other 3rd person shooter MP I've played is Uncharted 2. Guess this is just to different for my tastes.
And this game is supposed to be on dedicated servers? Most of the time it seems like my shots aren't doing much of anything. I could lose a fire fight to a guy standing completely still. I'm definitely hitting all my shots. Other times I can unload a good amount of ammo on someone and they just roll out of the way. When I try to do that it seems like I can't escape. Eh, maybe my connection or aim just sucks.

Dang, you must have played like 4 more hours after I left. Jesus. Get those wings.

not hard at all. it's much easier than Hardcore in previous games. the main reason is that the enemies die more quickly and the AI teammates are much more helpful. they go down WAY less and they help you out most of the time if you go down.
there were still a few choke points but not frustrating at all. i had a blast.
looking forward to Insanity with 4 players.

The one big blemish on an otherwise fantastic and well-paced campaign. Completely terrible in damn near every sense a turret section CAN be terrible.
We ended up killing one with lancer fire, another with a frag tag, and the last two with mortars.jackdoe said:
We were playing on dry dock. My god that was fun, yet annoying.
Also, when you get to 40 and up, only 'smaller' enemies die with one SOS blast. Everything eats bullets like no tomorrow, lol.

I had no problem with the underwater bit. Thought it was a nice change of pace.

Water section was a nice setpeice. That said, I wouldn't mind if it were skippable on subsequent playthroughs.

2th said:Hey i was using my retro in that game. So yeah it is cool
That's what I meant, I think we all dominated with Retros.
I still don't understand the KotH spawn system though. Not sure if any logic is applied. On Gridlock, I was on a tower hill when it moved and three enemies spawned right on top of me. The hill location was a spawn point. WTF.
ggs anyway : /
