Yeah, I never really got the point of barriers. I guess it's just to slow enemies down. They don't really hurt upper level enemies.Volimar said:

There's a pretty simple solution to the whole Sawed Off nonsense.
Personally, I don't mind it all that much - but for the people that do, just make a separate TDM playlist with no Sawed off. Problem solved...
Then everyone is happy and no one can bitch anymore. GAME OF THE FOREVER CONFIRMED.

Quick question: (I'm sure its just so obvious that I can't see it)
In Act IV Chapter: Hang em High, how do you cut the safety cable?

That creepy ass
gives me the most grief on Horde mode. I roll away from it strait into a sprint, create distance, cut left, cut right, roll to cover, pan the camera around real fast and OMFG it's standing directly behind me. Like fucking Jason Vorhees or something.
And another noob question. The
is the flame thrower the only thing that hurts it? I played a match the other night where everyone was dead except one guy, and I watched him attack this thing for probably 15 minutes with all kinds of guns before finally everyone just started started leaving.

And another noob question. The
armored boss that charges you... berserker I think...
That Horde boss is very annoying. What is the trick to killing them? At least with the Lambent Berserker the single player explains clearly how they should be defeated. The only thing I remember about Berserker's is old Gears SP and they were invulnerable to everything except the HoD.Mattdaddy said:
The only thing I've seen hurt the Berserker is close up shotgun blasts. There's got to be a better way.

Yup, headshots from the boom and possibly others we haven't seen yet. I also remember getting a headshot with nades in gears2, we can probably get them in gear3 too.

Since this isn't the spoiler thread, I'll use tags. Now, I'm not an incredible player, but here's what I did.
I was playing on thrashball, so it was easy to do this, your mileage may vary. As soon as we saw it was a zerker or lambent zerker, my brother and I would just go along the outskirts of the map, killing everything and avoiding the zerker(s). Once we had everything else killed (not easy in its own right) we'd turn our attention to the zerkers. My brother would pick up a mulcher from a dead grinder, and I'd scorch the zerker and he'd lay into them with the mulcher from behind cover. When one of us ran out of ammo, we'd take off, get what we need and set up somewhere and repeat. Lambents are harder in a lot of ways. We only beat one once.

When you get off of the zipline in Act 1 and a Gunker is there and you have approximately a second to move to the correct place or else your fucked and instakilled.

Here's a pro-tip: take out your grenades and attach them (using B) to the ground where the enemies will zip down at. They will always zip down at the same two locations on opposite sides of the circular area you are in. When going up the

I had problems there, but only on insane really.
Totally feeling Gears 3 now.
Felt the campaign was too long after first play through on Hardcore. Restarted on Insane...
Felt the MP was just off. Had first round where I took out 4 out of 5 in Warzone with the Gnasher...
Didn't really even have a problem with the SOS, but when dead today, watched someone take the piss out of a SOS handler, using Hammerburst...
Playing Gears 3 is all I want to do. And as much as the campaign isn't perfect, it is the closest I've come to playing an action movie, (or "film", as I'd say, being all English and things).
I don't know if this is the end of Gears or not, but whatever they make next, I want one. They're in the Street Fighter, Mario, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear and ICO Team auto-purchase club for sure.

20 caps, 54 kills, 16k+ points, MVP... and we fucking lost. Grrr

Not quite.
I just set up a private match of CTL, setting time to capture as 10, and adding a few bots.
Then. I let my 360 idle and let the game play itself. Heck, I even leveled up 3 levels in the past day without lifting a finger to touch the controller.

After recently finishing Gears 3's campaign, I still think that Gears 2 is the best in the series. I thought the writing and voice acting in Gears 3 was painfully bad (not that it was ever any good in the previous iterations, but I found myself cringing after nearly every line of dialogue in Gears 3). Gears 2 also has a tighter narrative and was paced much better imo.
With that said though, I still had a blast with Gears 3's campaign, and I truly hope to see a Gears of War 4 appear on the next round of consoles.

More Horde fun...
Got to the mid 20's before everyone on my team quit except for one guy. We were on Overpass - I was on the turret in the center of the overpass and he was roving in the Silverback. We were doing really well. Then we drew a lambent Berserker on wave 30 and everything went to shit. I hit it with the Hammer of Dawn 3 times and it didn't do crap other than make the berserker angrier.

i hate how the last two acts of this game just contain complete bullshit of the most hard enimies being spammed at you.
bomers arent nothing like they were in the first game they had a challenge in this they are just regular monsters who arent all that, but the other stuff is just shit and i really cant see myself getting another gears game now.

That last bitch on insane. WTF is wrong with those fucking guards. I'm raging and yelling at my tv.
And before some smart ass tells me to cheat my way through with buddies that play on casual. Yeah no chance to do that in arcade mode where the host sets the difficulty for all.
That is all.

No the whole battle is a joke.
I need some peeps to help me finish it, because by yourself with the CPU teammates....its just not gonna happen.

Whoa Lima, I wasn't aware you were such a tough guy.
Man, four-player co-op is a true battle - this is the difficulty I wanted all along Epic, good stuff.
Final battle is a little beyond insane, but everything else really puts you to the proper test - every big set piece battle is an all-out war of patience, team-work and good shooting.
I did it solo myself last night in one try after me and four friends couldn't do it in co-op - we almost had it on our fourth try or something, then it all went to hell after that. Just decided it to solo it afterwards.

Yeah sorry. That comment wasn't very well thought. You know it was because of the mood I was in couple minutes ago. That boss fight seriously raped me.

We tried it for almost one hour and just couldn't do it. It is SOOOO much easier with the AI because they can take more damage and really handle the guards while you can just kill the tempest.

On my game, they aren't killing anything. They don't shoot the guards or the screechers. I spot em, but they don't do anything. I'm getting hammerbursted down from across the map.

Is the flawed map rotation something you can fix on the server side, or do you have to roll out a TU for that?CliffyB said:
I just don't like the last battle
because it basically throws out everything you've lived through the first four acts of the game. Constant spawn of enemies on the ground and the air, you're basically forced to use the Lancer to bring the Tempest down because of the constantly spawning ammo doesn't refill my Torque Bow, and short range weapons are ineffective against her. And cover is almost nigh useless when there is so many spawning enemies from all sides and from the sky. It's a frustrating experience. Though challenging, it seemed way too unfair at times. The only reason I could get through it was because I was playing with my brother, and because the AI is much tougher then you, basically allowing you infinite lives to do it as long as you fight near them. I basically had to ignore the enemies, hoping my team mates would revive me to get her off the tower.
