no i'm not saying I deleted the save, I was asking if deleting the beta deletes the saves with it.

This might be the first Gears that I co-op through my first playthrough.

What about you guys? First play through solo, or bro-op?

Can anyone Gearsify my avatar? Just toss a Crimson Omen on there in the corner or something perhaps?

Also, is there scaling difficulty for co-op? 4 player insane would hopefully be much harder than 1 player insane. Also, modifiers ala Halo skulls, etc?

edit: first playthrouh is also solo. Let me enjoy the experience on my own, no interruptions.

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 am so glad that did that thing right. Deleted the beta itself and kept that cute little file. Guy looked harmless, and I figured that's where the unique data was kept.

I say play it co-op only if you can.

This ones a bit harder to co-op all the way though as you need 4 guys present all the time to do it properly.

If you are playing co op you MUST play hardcore. 3-4p on insane is ideal.

And again, tell a friend, please. We worked hard on this game and are proud of it. Thanks.

You guys sold us all with the beta already, the game spoke for itself.

No exaggeration when I say that it had to be the best experience I've had in a shooter online, and I've played the best of the best. If someone actually managed to kill me, I was content with the fact that I missed or the other guy was faster. Can't remember the last time I felt like that before with all of the lag and hit-detection problems in games nowadays.

Friends of mine who took a break with Gears 2 are coming back full-force with Gears 3, dropping other shooters completely even. It'll pay off for sure.

Psh, you don't need to remind NeoGAF not to play on normal. ;)

Great work by the way. Are you nervous for the reviews hitting tonight?

I don't know why anyone would play the single player campaign solo. Coop with friends was probably the best part of the previous games and the biggest reason why Gears was one of the few games I finished more than once.

Wow even CliffyB posted in here!

I'm hype for this game, I'm fully prepared for going into work from job to job with no sleep because of this game come next week.

I plan on playing on Hardcore from the start even if I'm by myself, can't wait.

First time solo ,second playthrough with friends.
At least that's how I always play because during my first playthrough I like to investigate every nook and cranny.

Anyone else going to jump into this 360voice gamerscore challenge? I've set up a group if you want in.

Details here: clickety
Link to sign up to the group I made, called the Allfathers: linkyboo

Also, the rarest skin combo is going to be chrome Lancer/chrome SO/flaming Hammerburst/gold Retro/gold Gnasher, right?

Cautiously optimistic. Not sure what else we could have crammed and or polished into this product, tbh. It's beefy.

The beta was already the most polished Gears multiplayer experience yet. If that's any indication of the full game, this game will own my disc tray for months to come. The reviews won't dictate my purchase either way, given that I've already played it and I know what to expect.

I'm looking forward to Giant Bomb's review though...

Thanks for the vid. Gotta admit, Beast Mode seems to be pretty sick! Also, good luck Cliffy with sales for this game. But going with you guys track record with Gears, I don't think that'll be a problem right? ;)

Is there a time limit on the Crimson Omen unlock? Not sure if I want to rock it, but it'd be nice to complete the weapon skins.

Co-sign. I considered myself an 'upper-middle class' level of player on Gears 2, and during the beta I was shocked at the stuff I was pulling off. I felt like a total badass. But at the same time, I rarely - if ever - had WTF?? moments when I got killed.

Not sure I can afford Gears 3 right now. :(

Guess I'll just watch all your impressions and pick this up in January or something.

Trade in some games man! GET GOING!

When it doubt, put your sperm up for sale. Do it for the Cole Train baby.

Good game design means failure is blamed on the self, instead of the game or outside conditions.
