We are trying for a second time to make a plea for an Old School Playlist on the official forums (or Classic/Veteran Playlist, however you want to call it).
If you're wondering what this is, it's basically a playlist that restricts the starting weapon loadouts to Lancer/Gnasher like in Gears 1.
Last time we tried we got 1200+ people voting in favor of it, sadly that thread had to get locked down due to the constant shitstorms happening for and against the DBS/SOS. Let's hope we can keep it civil this time.
If any of you have an account on Epic forums and like this idea, we'd really appreciate it if you could hand us your vote and maybe drop a few lines, try to get Epic's attention proper. I know petitions like these usually fail, but we should at least give it a try.
Here's the link if you're interested: http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/828784-Old-School-Playlist-v2
Thanks GAF.

@PXG, regarding the Euro-US server issues: would you mind making a Euro Gears Gaf account so all europeans could play with less lag? It's really frustrating to get an invite from a fellow GAFer just to see how shitty connections can be...
Nah, I've played Uncharted 2 last yearDark FaZe said:

There's nothing stopping you or someone else from making a Euro specific tag. I've seen it mentioned several times in the past, yet nobody has made one. I haven't done it myself since I manage the first three, the OT and, of course, play the game. That, plus I live in the US. You wouldn't want a filthy Yank handling that sort of thing for ya'll, now would you
In all seriousness, xbox.com is still being annoying and giving me issues, so I can't do it. Once someone decides to make one, I'll make a corresponding graphic for it and put it in the OT.

Why don't you make one? The account doesn't need to be gold.
Jesus this game can be so frustrating when you aren't playing with a full team. I mainly play with one friend and it's unbelievable how often you get stuck with just plain bad team mates. It's just absolutely infuriating on maps like Sandbar and Overpass where you need to control the top levels and my friend and I rush to the top while our 3 team mates run around on the bottom getting killed. So we of course lose the top because their whole team rushes and it's 2 on 5.
Gears 3 finally has the MP I've been longing for from Epic since 2006. The promise of proper Gears MP has always been so great, and I'm quite happy they've finally delivered. I don't have nearly as much time to play as I'd like, so I'm only level 12 - but I've encountered very little to nitpick about.
All the weapons feel great, nothing feels too unbalanced (even the SOS - I usually just LOL at the guys trying to use it), maps seem well designed for the most part, and everything is just amazing to look at.
I knew it'd be a good game, I'm just surprised at how great it all ended up being. Bravo Epic!

Yes. And Gridlock is another map where you can get fucking rolled bad. I know people love it, but with the rifles being good and SOS being a gib machine this map becomes impossible. Especially against a good sniper. What you do is send 3 for the LS then pick one of the patios. You have sawed offs set up on each step with nades and then the sniper with the two other guys with rifles and go wild.KorrZ said:

Trust me, Epic is listening. Of course, seeing things getting done is more satisfying than mere discussion.
They are aware that people want a Classic/Old School/Gears 1 style playlist. Hell, a lot of guys internally want it as well. They want to add a CoD style "Mercenary" playlist too, for those who roll solo and don't have a team. It's just a matter of whether or not the high level dudes feel like it's worth the time putting it in and if enough players actually want it. They're not going to waste their time and money implementing a feature just for a vocal minority. Plus, they have tons of other things to do, such as the DLC, which WILL be very nice

I hope you're right PXG, I really do. And yeah, I've been in a few games with devs and asked them their thoughts on OSP, all of them thought it was a cool idea, nothing to lose from it.-PXG- said:Trust me, Epic is listening.

I do remember Joe Graf saying a Mercenary playlist was redundant though, can't remember exactly what his reasons were... Hope some influential members of the team persuade him about the OSP.

Well, I don't work for Epic
yet...
Cliff, I know you read GAF and post in this thread regularly. It won't fragment the userbase. The time spent putting a classic and merc playlist will not be in vain.
You said it yourself that you want people to marry your game, not date it. People will marry Gears 3 without a prenup and get it pregnant if you put those playlists in.
You know damn well that CoD and Halo are your competitors. You want to do everything you can to keep those hardcore people on your side so you can sell them DLC and more games in the future. So why not just give them just a couple more features which they've been clamoring over for years. Why not?
Just do it. Thank us later.

Finally finished Gears 3, but the entire ending glitched so that it skipped to the credits after beating the final boss. What the hell Cliffy? :/
Anyways, the campaign for this game was amazing. There are still a few glitches like the one above. I'm still wondering how they'll continue the game based on the ending though. Prequel? Can't wait for it anyways! Thanks to Cliff Bleszinski, and all the developers of Gears of War for an awesome game!

Are you sure he wasn't just running across the walkway on both sides of the bridge?charsace said:
Edit: To be a little more clear, there are two walkways that you can mantle over onto on both sides of the bridge that allows players to get to the other side without having to run down the middle of it.

Nah, those are just generic cave bats or something. Too big to be Kryll.Grisby said:
One of the collectibles you find in 2 tells you that the lightmass bomb from 1 failed to destroy the Hollow but wiped out the Kryll breeding grounds.
I bet this has already been posted, but LOL

Not only is the "ineffective outside melee range" thing laughable, I also recall someone from the dev team swearing that the Sawed-off had the same gibbing range as the Gnasher... which is also proven false in that same video.-PXG- said:
It's shameful really.
