For fuck's sake. Is it too much to ask for some REASONABLE goals to unlock shit?! This is where I'm totally for paid content, even if the pricing is somewhat ludicrous; at least I'd have a fucking chance of getting it then.
We're not 15 year olds anymore, Epic. We don't divvy up our waking hours between Gears of War and Masturbations of War, even thought we'd very much like to; it just can't be done. And as good as this game is, it's not the ONLY FUCKING GAME ON THE CONSOLE. WE'VE OTHER SHIT TO SHOOT - OTHER PERSPECTIVES TO ENTER INTO, LIKE 'FIRST'.

Yeah, it's just a placebo effect. I feel like I move faster with Griffin but it's all the same. I do actually tend to do better as COG though.
And yeah, playing when you can clearly tell dedis are down SUCKS. The retro becomes pretty much shit, and the SOS is 10x more annoying. I actually swap to it when I can tell there's lag to counter the bullshit with even more bullshit.

Just dropped the $30 on the season pass. Fully committed to this game now. With its meta-achievement system, this game scratches that same itch that kept me playing Halo Reach for hundreds and hundreds of hours. Love this.

Man, I'm shooting people in the face with the Gnasher and I still feel like I'm doing it wrong. I know how to wallbounce, roll, pop in and out of hard shots and do mix ups, etc - yet when I hit a guy 3 times in the torso/head I still manage getting gibbed or downed in 1/2 shots. It can't be the active reloads that make the difference, because I'm doing the same damn thing.
Is the Gnasher really as random as they say? It's frustrating to think that I can do all I can as a player to down/kill a guy and it not be enough, to be quite honest. I don't think it comes down to a player being simply 'better', either.

Ballistik said:66 here. Trying to keep up, but I'm juggling Gears and school now.
You two are going to completely take off..
Fuck, you guys finally caught me, I'm level 66 as well, well done! </Prescott>
Also, to Amir0x
Yeah, right. First I'll post this logarithmic chart of Kills per hour per player from Gears 2:
And now, the linear version just in case you don't realize the huge difference:
These images were posted by Lee Perry, so no rebuttal allowed. As you can see the Lancer (and only the Lancer) got a boost in use after an update a full year after release (and then another update buffed the gnasher even more so...) and still there was a HUGE difference.
Now I'll tell you how many kills I have with every weapon type on Gears 3:
Rifle: 950
Shotgun: 2164
Pistol: 268
Picked-up: 934
Heavy weapons: 107
Grenades: 239
Even more balanced than ever in Gears 2. Gears 3 is a more rifle/less shotgun oriented game than 2 and obviously 1.
Stop complaining about that. It's like going into the BF3 beta thread and complaining that too many kills are made by rifles

I love this game, but I just dont have the time (or skill) to get really good to the point where I can play the game on my own.
If im in a team I do well, but by myself with randoms its usually really frustrating. Since launch I've had a solid party of 3 or 4 who have been playing regularly and its been really fun but now they say they're all going to move onto either Battlefield or COD when they come out
Maybe I should play with more Gaffers!
Got Thursday and Friday off so will be on all day if anyone wants to play with me - NutJobJim

So is the Gnasher random or what?
Hooray for quick match. Been sat here 10 minutes searching for matches..

So I beat Beast mode on insane yesterday without retrying any wave, why didn't I unlock the Savage Theron guard? Do I have to get through hardcore and normal as well?
Why does it take so long to get into matches. I get them in them in a matter of seconds. Also, I don't ever get any lag or any connection issues.
The netcode and online stability for this game is best I've ever experienced.
No.
And you should have unlocked it. That's very odd.

Ah. Michael Barrick will be the main focus of the campaign DLC expansion. Interesting.

Yeah... the moment I saw the headline I knew it'd be a copypasta of Cliff's posts in that thread.-PXG- said:
Saying Barrick will be "the star" of the campaign DLC addon because Cliff said to expect him and more is a bit of a stretch though.

I don't know why it takes so long. Maybe I'm connecting to US games? Are the dedicated servers US only?

i understand that they don't want to answer everything, but the whole thing with the HUMAN queen, i mean COME ON!! then again maybe they're saving it for a prequel.
Well the major problem with Gears is that the rifles are boring as fuck to use compared to the Gnasher. I force myself to use the Gnasher even though I'm way better with the lancer. Making it more balanced means making the game more boring. Gears 2 was more fun and had way more tension online, it's just that the lag breaks the game. Dedi's is imo one of the saving graces of Gears 3(which sadly becomes painfully apparent when you aren't playing on one.Risk Breaker said:Even more balanced than ever in Gears 2.

Played a little more yesterday, now up to a measly level 11.
Really digging it, netcode is fantastic. Im not great, but my K/D is 1.1 and Im usually in the top 3 (which makes this the best at Gears Ive ever been, sadly enough). Although I will say people whine and bitch in this game more than any other multiplayer game Ive played. Every game, it seems someone goes 4-11, runs out of lives, and then talks about how horrible the team is. Almost... every... game. Pubs are horrible.
Bought the pass though, really enjoying it and will be spending more time with it as time becomes available.

Apparently Epic increased spawn protection from 2 seconds to 6. Can anyone check?
Why would they change that, anyway?
EDIT: Yup, Jim Brown (level designer) confirmed they changed it for TDM only. That's more understandable.

Gnasher. Active reload. Guy runs at me with chainsaw. Two actives. Headshots. Close range. Chainsawed. Dead.

I don't think that is an unreasonable change at all. I've had spawns in TDM where I spawn and there are 2-3 of the enemy team at the 'entrance' to the spawn zone. Since there's generally no cover in the spawn zones you are hosed if that happens.

Yes, I agree it's reasonable in TDM. I hope they keep it away from KOTH though (it's what I mainly play) since many ring locations are usually right next to spawn zones; you can imagine how that would be problematic.BlueScrote said:

When two close range actives don't knock a guy out of it, yes it is, Mr sarcy.
MarshMellow96 said:
This was happening most of the night for me. I don't know if it was lag or host advantage or what but this happened too many times to be normal. It's like a damn tornado that sucks you in. Nothing annoys me more than shooting a few rounds into someone and hearing that stupid "sponge suck" sound. Turn around and get lancered or SOS to the face.
Last night games on TDM where average for me. Changed my approach with SOS players and maintained a K/D ratio of 1.0-1.25. I did not use Retro Lancer, just the normal one. I no longer peak corners looking for an active blind fire with gnasher. It's obvious it just doesn't work. I didn't get as many kills or deaths so I wasn't too happy with the point tally at the end. This defensive approach is rather boring but I understand the need to approach it in a defensive way.
