Line up elbow with enemy and fire?malfcn said:

I think that's just lining up your shot with your elbow for shotgun kills
or just pick up the SOS and piss people off

Basically the notion that the game actively punishes players for, you know, AIMING, so you're better off firing from the hip and eyeballing the general direction of the shot based on your character's elbow.
This is a flaw with the entire series. The entire weight of the game focused around shotguns is completely counter intuitive to how every other shooter has developed in terms of balancing the utility of the entire games' arsenals of weapons to be equal. Gears just decides the Gnasher in general should be "overpowered" and rolls with it. And then they introduced the SOS.The Antitype said:
This flavour of balancing, or lack thereof is something the core fanbase likes though. So.. *shrug*

The statistics showed that the SOS wasn't getting a significant amount of kills...
...which is bullshit logic imo. When Halo CE came out, I'm sure the Assault Rifle was getting 10x the amount of kills as the pistol (at least in my playgroup), simply because nobody knew how good the pistol was. How often a weapon is used doesn't necessarily go hand-in-hand with its effectiveness.

Understandable, but personally I play to win and won't intentionally gimp myself for any reason. If the SOS is the best option, I'm going to abuse the shit out of it. I use whatever tactics give me the highest chance of winning.

The SOS is LOL on KOTH. Run into hill, fire into crowd, collect points and salty tears from other team.

What is wrong with me? I'm almost through Act 3, and I'm just not that impressed so far. I mean, the visuals are at times some of the best I've ever seen, but aside from that so far I had a lot more fun with the campaigns in Gears 1 and 2. Hopefully it gets better...

Finally someone agrees with me. Doesn't appear to be any spawn-logic at work. Spawn three enemies literally right on top of me after the hill moves? Sweet dude!

The spawns on KOTH can be pretty wacky. I was playing earlier on Drydock with Balistik and PXG, we spawned behind the team, then THEY spawned behind us, then WE SPAWNED RIGHT BEHIND THEM! I think its just a mixture of the focal points in battle constantly moving, so the spawns are just gonna appear in places you don't want them to(I.E. right behind your ass, and then THEY get spawn protection :/)
Question about Beast mode.
Are the upper tiers unlocked by money earned or money spent or something different?
I LOVE every mode so far, only real change I'd make is nerf SOS a ton (never satisfying to kill or die with that p.o.s. imo) and make rolling slower/less far in MP.

I just battled an entire team off a hill using an ink grenade, Lancer fire and the gnasher, before the last guy and I had a mutual-kill (SOS, obviously).
Not ONE member of my team even bothered approaching the hill to cap it, let alone help me.

I done told y'all. You can judge a person's character by which shotgun they use in Gears 3. I wouldn't even want to shop from the same grocery store as a sawed-off user. Scum of the Earth, they are.

Oh, my friends aren't willing to continue to give the game chances to win them over.
They'll only play Horde, Arcade or Beast now.

I felt that way about the first Gears of War. For every match you felt like snapping the disk in half, you had a match that made you feel like the biggest badass on the planet.

Gotta say my faith in humanity dropped several points when somebody downed me, picked me up as a human shield, but then bent me over a truck and uh...yeah.
Kusagari said:
Pretty much. I see myself dropping this game pretty quick once BF3 hits, and it's solely because 99% of the people I play just run around abusing the SOS. The game is down right fantastic aside from that one huge blemish...just give me a playlist that doesn't have it!!

Hey Cliff, what happened to "melee range" for the sawed off? If it was only effective in the range Epic stated it would be then it would be balanced.

Have you tried resetting your router/modem? Do you have any ports forwarded? Or have UPnP enabled?

Open NAT is better.
This happened to me too, for apparently no reason. I signed out of Xbox Live, power-cycled my modem, signed into Xbox Live and it was back to Open. It was weird.

I think you and I are in the same boat. Once BF3 and Halo: Anniversary hit (along with the Title Update changes), I think my competitive multiplayer time is going to be pretty much booked for the next six months.
I can see myself playing Horde Mode 2.0 and Spec Ops (MW3) for awhile though.

Does anyone want to trade for either my commando dom or savage grenadier elite skin?

Shit, I know. I'll be juggling Gears 3, MW3, BF3, Uncharted 3, and post-patch Reach. Shit's gonna be rough, especially with Skyrim on the horizon.
There's an achievement for getting to wave 15 in Survival in all 16 maps, so that should keep you busy for a while : )
Please fix the Sawed-Off, Epic.

Damn, I hadn't really been following the multiplayer in Uncharted 3, but GoW3 has really put me in the mood for a good third-person mp shooter. So I might have to add that one into the rotation too.
I'm actually less interested in the Survival missions of Spec Ops than the MW2-style objective missions. I loved that shit in MW2, my buddies and I replayed those on Hardened and Veteran a thousand times, never seemed to get old.

It's not perfect, but damn good nevertheless. Nothing really frustrating about it (LIKE THE SAWED OFF) and the UC GAF community is absolutely dominant at the game. I highly recommend it. Take advantage of the Subway promotion if you live in the U.S.
MW2 Spec Ops was the unsung hero of that game. Tons of legendary moments when playing co-op on Veteran. So challenging but it's totally worth it.
Oh, this is a Gears thread.
Still need to complete Beast on insane without failing. Maybe I'll get a party together for that tomorrow. I wants my Savage Theron.
