Just got in a match and yah, getting blown away by kiddies, and my character can't do a thing about it.

I hope they just add a message saying if the servers are up or not so I know if I should even bother. There's some Gears 2 shit when they're down, and it's UNBEARABLE with the sawn off in action.

Seriously. I can play other games if the servers are down.


done...Done...DONE. Unplayable right now. I will be *behind* someone and their SOS kills me.

Final boss fight glitched on me.
My friends and I took a break from frustration the first time due to all the enemy spawns / screechers while the queen attacks Adam's structure. It was extremely annoying. We were on Hardcore. The next day we went back to play and nothing spawned during the fight and we were done pretty quick.

complaints:
The game explained absolutely nothing at the end ._. I thought maybe there'd be something after the credits but nope. Not at all. I'm not sure why outside the game Epic tries so hard to position Gears as a game that takes its world and stories seriously than in-game they give us this mess. Stay consistent in your messaging!

It's like you glitched and got the intended encounter before one of the junior programmers fucked it up.

Did a horde run from 1 to 50 last night.
In 50 we got zerkers, which we failed, got zerkers 3 more times after that, came close but failed. It was getting late and all of wanted to get some sleep, but we wanted to nail that last wave. Then we got Gunkers, it was tough and we came pretty far, when a gunker killed 3 of us in one blow. Only one guy left with 4 Gunkers. He managed to kill them al. man we were going crazy when he got that last one, one of the most awesome gaming moments ever.

So, I finally got into a match with some Gaffers only to have PXG leave us to join Ballistik. :( Our team ended up losing the first match, and the second match the party was split.

I hope I can get some decent games with you Gaffers in the future :lol.

I went to check his message and joined prematurely. I left by accident. Plus we live in different time zones. We usually only get to play late at night.

Anyway jackass over here sand bags the whole match and then turns on beast mode, thus denying me precious MVP ribbons. Motherfucker...

I'm Level 72. Jambi...Hold onto yer butt.

I felt bad being the only person in the room providing support (full time). I lancered down a bunch of SOSers though and the matches went very smoothly. Guess I left on a high note.

No worries. It just kinda baffled me that you left without saying anything. Now I know why. ;)

PXG, what is the trick to getting a host connection? Because it's Gears 2 for me. I am slipping and sliding all over the place and there is always one guy that soaks up bullets and bodies people like nothing. It is getting tiring fast.

I've only gotten host once in Quick Match. Honesty it depends on the quality of you connection. Down, up, ping and NAT. Manually open the Xbox Live specific ports on your router and you should see a significant difference in performance.

Of course reducing traffic on your home network will help too.

I've only had one laggy match. It was horde and the host lived far away and some third world ghetto ass connection. Other than that, Gears 3 online has been flawless.

Cool thanks. :) And yeah, I think that's how long it's been haha. Can't really recall when I added you.

Also, Disclaimer: I'm pretty average at this game.

PXG why did you remove me from a game last night? I was with a friend and joined yours but was still in party chat with him. Didn't get a chance to switch over and you just dropped me?

Gears GAF official motto:

It's just so perfect. Any variant of the line works, really.

Break an enemy hill and cap it? "Oh shit! Ya hill's gone."
Steal a kill? "Oh shit! Ya kill's gone."
Dedicated servers working? "Oh shit! The broken's gone."

Well, finally beat the last boss on Insane by myself. It's really easy when you just hide behind the elevator cradle. Finished on my first try with that method. I still think trying to do it the "right" way by yourself is impossible.
And, PXG now that I've finished this crap, I'll accept those invites one day :)

so savage theron is supposed to unlock if you beat beast on insane? Or do you actually have to go back and beat it on hardcore, normal, and casual as well? Because I didn't get anything for beating it on insane.

Not wanting to incite a war here, but do you think Cliffy is reclining somewhere, quietly chuckling at the apparent cluster-fuckery of the Battlefield 3 beta?

5 MONTHS PRIOR TO RELEASE AND AS SILKY AS RETAIL. THAT'S HOW YOU DO A BETA, SON.

You have to beat it without failing a wave.

Same thing happened to me. And YES - we beat it without failing, and I was the only one in our group of 5 that DID NOT receive credit for it.

Yeah, the Bad Company 3 beta (yes, you read that right) is all kinds of terribad. Killed any hype I had for the game. It sucks because I'm a huge fan of the BF series, but this beta is just a mess.

Thanks for joining me last night, K Dash, MjFrancis and see5harp! :)

I'm really enjoying the campaign. I love how the Locust pop out of the ground in a cloud of smoke.

Christ people .. level 60-90 at this point is just insane. Good stuff! Are there decent advantages to leveling up that high or is just good window dressing?

I'm proud to say I'm level 17, playing 2 and a half hours every night between campaign and horde.

This is the first time since Gears 1 I'm playing online multi regularly, enjoying myself quite a bit

After tuesday I'm gonna have to split my time between this and Dark Souls, so... Slow but sure I'm gonna make it to level 100.
