Honestly I say I win most of my shotgun fights by gettting first shot off and then keeping my distance and aiming down the sights.
I watched these two videos and applying those ideas I have become so much better with the shotgun.

Picked this up at kmart with the 50% off year of xbox live and 20$ gaming coupon. Awesome deal since my gold just ran out. My first 15 matches online were embarrassing but after that I'm getting the hang of things again. Havnt played gears online since gears 1 so I'm a little rusty. So far the campaignis great I'm up to chapter 1 act 4. High five to cliffy and the guys at epic, this is your studios best game yet.

If everyone on Gaf adds "Gears 3 Gaf 4" to their friends list, then when you are online you can check the profile of the tag "Gears 3 Gaf 4" and then view that accounts friends list. Thus you can see everyone from Gaf that added the tag who is online at the moment and you can join/play with them.
At least... that is how I think it works.

How does Horde work, anyway? If I join a friend partway through, do I just need to get through the earlier levels later to get the achievements/medals? Or is Horde supposed to be done 1-50 in one ridiculous sitting?

Yeah what about that medal that gives 2x exp-PXG- said:
and I thought they had those white skins too. Damn Epic employees be stylin' on us dirty peasants, lol.Plasmid said:
The explanation for that is on this very page.
It's annoying, but legitimate. Sure, they could load every character skin in the background, but then you'd be reduced to playing on a black and white checkboard level. The 360 simply doesn't have enough memory to load all of those (incredibly detailed) character models.
They're not going to fix it. Ever. They simply can't. So you're just gonna have accept it. However, as Cliff and I have pointed out, it's odd how it will continue to revert to default skins after you've settled into party, joined and played several matches with the same group.
I think I'm on act 2 in the campaign (co-op). I'm impressed with the games technical prowess, great image quality, and satisfying gun play. The worst thing about this game by far is the art direction/presentation/story. I literally have no idea/don't give a shit what is happening, don't care for any of the characters and find myself wondering why they even bother giving you excuses to run to the next checkpoint. Lots of screaming bros.

I have never played on Overpass. I guess everyone just vetoes it.

Going into a 1v1 gnasher battle on equal terms and coming out the victor is so satisfying, sometimes I wish there was a replay theatre.
Actually, Cliff, I will add that I joined a match this morning and got default skins. However, during the match, we got a host migration. When the match restarted, I was given my selected skin (I was COG, so instead of default Marcus, I was given my Classic Baird)
In other words, if you join a match in progress, you will be given default skins, but if a host migration takes place, your selected skin will be enabled.
I just forgot the mention that earlier.

I am loving this game.
That is all.

From what I have heard from people, I doubt it. I mean the guys at Epic do deserve their custom skins so why would they give this one up. They did already give up the Liquid Metal skins for the Season Pass.

Ugh, I don't know how they did it, but they did.
You bastards!
The combination of Adam "dying" and the ending conversation between Marcus and Anya made me misty.
But Marcus shanking Myrrah and saying it's from Dom and everyone else who died, so good! I'm glad they didn't take Marcus' anger too far and make it into a dumb bloody pulp mini-game like a certain PS3 exclusive did. Short, sweet, satisfying.

You can tell it was built with Horde mode in mind. And it's great for that. Same with Sandbar.

I'm not a total expert but here's some things I feel have helped me out.The S-Word said:
There's 3 basic things to know when using the Gnasher: hard aim, pop shots, and hip fire.
- Hard aim (Hold down L trigger fully): When you feel like you can line up an open shot from mid range, avoid doing this with lots of enemies around. I rarely use this myself, leaves you very open to flanking.
- Hip fire: Do this at very close distances. It is really useful once you know how to wall bounce, but that could take some time if you're new. I would stay away from this until you have a better feel of the Gnasher. If done right, slower moving players don't stand a chance.
- Pop shot (press L trigger and fire very quickly): I generally use this in between hard aim and hip fire distances. The problem is that pulling up your gun for the pop shot can change where you expect the bullets to him. I use it in more of a supportive role when I have teammates around.
Against turtling players, its all about the angles that you take towards them. I do a ton of sideways rolls and aggressive wallbouncing, which is pretty risky at times. It leads to success for me alot, but again, it is very risky to play so aggressive (especially in TDM now).
At the end of the day, it is going to take a while to learn the Gnasher. There are players that have total mastery over it and they've been playing with severe lag all these years. The best thing you can do gradually practice in TDM, and use rifles in the meantime to punish very overzealous players.

So in campaign, what's the deal with branching paths that reunite 5 seconds later?
