There's a way to get the Crimson Omen Lancer skin without having to buy the subscription pass.

I can't get this to work myself, probably because I live in Canada. If anyone manages to get an extra, I wouldn't mind taking one off your hands!

No luck for me either in Canada.

If someone has an extra one, mind sending me a PM as well? Thanks!

Man that was tedious. And I feel so dirty saying 10 for recommending a Kinect. Ugh. But it was worth it.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Ok - did the surveys again and got a code. Now we wait...

I said 6 for kinect. Doesn't matter.

Can't wait, get my limited edition console on tuesday. But sill questioning its value. $548, my launch 360 cost me $650, the 60gig one $380.

I mean, atleast include the limited edition of the game. Ah well, I'm sure i'll still be stoked when I pick it up.

Edit. Oh and hope my avatar isn't NSFW

 

[Jrmint]

I'm not able to get past the registration page. It seems I have all of the required fields in. Anyone else have this issue?

 

[DarkChild]

I'll take this one, thank you

 

[ResidentDante]

I'll take this one, thank you

Go ahead!

I just saw later footages of campaign(middle), OMG it looks sooo good guys, it seems very long too.

Weapon skins and medals as far as I know.

That's mine, thanks

Taken. Thanks!

 

[Genesis Knight]

Jesus this game has so many unlockables and DLC! I don't know how I feel about it yet.

 

[RedSwirl]

So what are the details on splitscreen and bots for each mode?

 

[Brakara]

Read the OP

I have. Except for level 100, no other rank progression unlocks are mentioned (just characters).

The ones for weapon skins are "do this" or "do that", etc.

So, for example, what do you get for reaching level

Spoiler

6

?

Besides characters, there are no other rank progression unlocks. Medals are earned from doing specific actions or using certain weapons.

 

[Brakara]

Aw, shucks. I was hoping for more, especially since some of the unlock levels seemed so random.

There are medals for level 25, 50, 75 and 100. Getting 100 also gives you the Gold Omen skins. Other than that, the only things you get from rank progression are characters.

All the other stuff is obtained from completing special objectives, earning medals or bought through as DLC.

Hey i was wondering... Can the locust queen be played in multiplayer? That will be pretty sick if you can.

She's one of the five starting characters for the Locust.

EDIT

All the unlocks are in the OP.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Okay

oh thanks! will change it when I get off this iphone :/

 

[-PXG-]

I'm contemplating if I should upgrade my preorder to Epic Edition from Standard Edition (Amazon's limited edition is sold out ostensibly). Does anyone think the Epic Edition is worth it?

If you want the statue, the art book, IO skins and Adam Fenix, then yes. If you love Gears, yes. I'm getting it. Can't wait.

 

[ShaneB]

Replaying Gears 1, and while it still can look fantastic, it's amazing to see how far we've come in 5 years.

Wondering if I should Gearsify my avatar... hmmm. Maybe slap the 3 on there.

does deleting the gears 3 beta off of your hard drive still keep the save data?

 

[h3ro]

As long as the save file is there, you're fine. I deleted the Beta and the install client, but kept the save file they create so the unlocks are still in place.

 

[MacBosse]

<--- Took this avatar. Thanks!

 

[dagZ]

I just deleted it off the game list, under game library, am I still good?

im not home to check to see if It still there.

 

[Genesis Knight]

I would think the beta unlocks are tied to your Live account on Epic's servers.

 

[dagZ]

I would think the beta unlocks are tied to your Live account on Epic's servers.

they aren't just the 68 kb save file. So hopefully just deleting the beta off the game library doesn't delete the saves also.

 

[h3ro]

Nope. They've mentioned a few times that we needed to keep our save file for the unlocks. I don't think they saved stats/match records from the beta to determine whether a player met the goals needed for the unlocks.

 

[Genesis Knight]

OH god, I deleted the beta I'm sure. I'll cry if I lost those unlocks.

 

[Miggytronz]

OH god, I deleted the beta I'm sure. I'll cry if I lost those unlocks.

Im pretty sure you did.

 

[-PXG-]

OH god, I deleted the beta I'm sure. I'll cry if I lost those unlocks.

As long as you have your SAVE FILE (not the game file/ title update), you're fine.

 

[Genesis Knight]

Are you kidding? Wow, I needed the space to install some other games... How depressing. I'm not very good at Gears and it took a lot of work to get that Retro Lancer skin.

EDIT: I would have had to navigate to the save folder in the memory browser and delete it, which I'm sure I didn't do. I'll check today. *crosses fingers*

 

[-PXG-]

...

As long as you still have the 64kb PLAYER DATA file, you're fine. DO NOT DELETE THAT.

You need that in order to get your unlocks.

I'm in the same boat, I deleted it under the game library, where you click gears 3 beta, and then it says delete, or play. Someone said that it still keeps the save data, but i'm not sure.

 

[Risk Breaker]

ResidentDante just joined a match I was playing >

 

[Hixx]

OH god, I deleted the beta I'm sure. I'll cry if I lost those unlocks.

Go look through the games list on your hard drive. I deleted the beta itself but the save is still there which is where the unlocks will come from.

 

[Storm Prelude]

Well, fuck. I deleted the complete folder yesterday.

 

[njean777]

Can not wait for next weekend, me and my friend are gonna marathon it in co-op.

I didn't delete the actual save data, but i'm not sure if deleting the beta just by pressing delete under the game library keeps the save or just deletes everything associated with the beta.
