That's the problem.

I disagree I think when a gnasher fight happens now it feels alot more personal like gears 1. Its usually those 1 vs 1 at the end. Finally AR fighting is important. I think its silly for people to charge at someone with a shotgun out hoping to dodge gun fire to get a kill. Sure it pays off sometimes but its retarted.

Please tell me those are Horde kills so as to preserve my rapidly shattering ego

Yes, those are Horde numbers. He confirmed it. I was going to shatter my ego as well

I think it's a culmination of ALL kills

Campaign, Horde, Beast, Versus, Private versus.

I don't get all the SOS bitching. I find it easy enough to avoid. It's painfully obvious when someone's rolling up on you with it, and easy enough to avoid while weakening your aggressor. Also, CHECK YOUR CORNERS, understand the map and choke points.

The gun has four rounds and takes 30 minutes to reload, just avoid that one shot and you can easily take the guy down while he's stuck reloading.

Nope, it isn't as easy as you say.

If there's a dude running at you with the SOS and you see him when he's so close that even if you aim your rifle and shoot right away he might come into gib range and kill you (and that happens a lot in this game because the maps are the way they are) you cannot escape from that, you can only hope he somehow misses the shot.

If you roll back, he'll approach faster than you retreat and bam, dead (this is what happens to me the most). If you simply turn back and run, he'll run behind you and the second you stop bam, dead.

About the CHECK YOUR CORNERS bit... it doesn't really matter if you check them or not. You know, you need to get close to them in order to check them and then, unless they miss, you're dead. The most you can do is take him with you.

So yeah, it's annoying and it sucks.

How do you get those specific mutators?

I think infinite ammo is just 100 kills with each starting weapon. The reload is significantly tougher because it's a Horde thing (I think it's something to do with buying 5 emplacements in a single round a specific number of times-I think my friend boosted it).

Running through Insane on arcade mode with 4 people. It's not any better lmao.

I haven't experience any of those problems. My deaths are usually from bad rolls or not watching my back and getting a shot in the back.

It's called team work, bro. If someone with the SOS is chasing you all over the map and nobody is shooting at him, you've either put yourself in a retarded situation deep in enemy territory or are not playing cohesively with others.

Check Corners, AKA take them WIDE so you can use your 3rd person to 'peak' around the corner and see if there is an SOS, or shoot the FUCK out of him with your AR.

Lololololololololol think outside the box

 

[LosDaddie]

I'm thinking the easiest way to beat Gears 3 on insane is by unlocking certain mutators like Infinite Ammon and Super Reload and trying it on Arcade mode.

Wait, is that possible? And still be able to get the Insane cheevos?

Damn. Sounds like you guys are in for the long haul tonight. I'll be lucky if I can find a team that stays until wave 10.

You're welcome to join tonight. Starting around....9pm EST. Maybe a little later since I'm taking my family out to dinner.

Eh, might just do 50 waves of Horde only. We got to Wave 40 last week before giving up. And I thinking of setting the difficulty to Casual.

I guess we could pad our K/D with campaign and horde Is there a multiplayer (non campaign/horde/beast) K/D ratio at all?

Thanks for the replies.

They use their 3rd person view to peak around, too.

About the bolded... sure man.

 

[squidhands]

Quite a bit disappointed in how the campaign story ends. Was expecting something to happen during the final boss battle

Spoiler

Why is Myrrah a human exactly?

, but it just fizzled out into some rather cheesy-even-for-Gears lukewarm moment. meh

 

[Stat Flow]

Hmm, I guess you could go to the individual leaderboards for each gametype and then add the kills up from those and then get your kdr for pure multiplayer.

But that'd be a bit too much effort. I think mine is pretty accurate for now as I've only gotten a couple chapters into act 1 since I'm doing 4man Co op and rounding everyone up can be a hassle.

Haven't tried horde yet.

 

[K' Dash]

Since this game is using TrioViz 3d implementation for stereoscopic 3D (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/15/gears-of-war-3-adds-3d-support-we-await-gears-of-war-3-d-re-tit/), is it backwards compaitble with the magenta/green glasses that came with Batman AA:GOTY? I'm curious because I don't own a 3DTV, but I would like to play it in 3D.

I'm interested, anyone can confirm?

 

[KooPaL]

Sorry PXG for missing your invites these past few days. I am currently trying to get back into shooters and don't want to be a feeder to the team lol. I think I am sort of ready now so just shoot me an invite whenever. I just can't believe how shitty I am ugh makes me feel dirty lol

 

[RebornYeti]

Then go play gears 2.


"Adapt or Die, People"

Never again. That game was so bad in the Multiplayer department. Horde mode was fun, but it wasn't enough to save it.

I guess I'm just super bitter about the SOS. I think I have every reason to be though. It's really game-breaking for me and a lot of people. However, when I do manage to get into a 1v1 Gnasher fight, the game shines, and that's what I really love about Gears.

It's not just that though. I really love how AR fights are a bigger part. It's still familiar, but it's now actually useful. Retro Lancer is a fine addition I think. Charging towards someone with it and impaling them with the bayonet is satisfying, just as chainsawing someone with the Lancer for the first time was.

 

[Palmer_v1]

I find it hilarous that the SOS is not listed in the individual weapon breakdown area. Are they embarrassed to show the stats behind the weapon?

 

[D6AMIA6N]

Can you guys add me to your friends list? I keep on trying to get into a horde game to no avail, and I've sent a friend request to the GEARS 3 GAF TRI, but am still waiting have my friend request be accepted.

GT: D6AMIA6N

 

[KooPaL]

How do you guys normally go about in aiming the Retro? I am having a hard time trying to burst with it. I try doing the old CS pull down the ak to control recoil but its not really working for me.

Another problem is with gnasher battles do you guys concentrate on evading first (wallbouncing). Far too many times i see myself twitch the right analog stick as opposed to just strafing with them with the left analog.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Hahaha, hadn't noticed that. I now looked the section and see that it says how many times you've been killed by that weapon... yeah, pretty hilarious.

Yeah, i put in the lololol for fun. I understand the frustration! Go back a few pages and you'll see me bitching like crazy about the SOS


The fact is that it's part of the game, and there are counters galore to every weapon. Toss a smoke grenade to stun the dude, run around, make him miss his shit, retro lancer, etc etc


The SOS is powerful, yes, but it can be the weakest weapon in the game if you know how to dance around it.

Oh I forgot to add to my big post that even though I moaned a little about the skin dlc and it's prices I did buy one, team metal, and I rather like it.

That's about it from me, will buy RAAM and Savage grenadier elite if he becomes pay DLC at some point, I can see everyone online using onyx gear once he is released so i'll stick with classic Baird or Dizzy, who is now becoming a favorite of mine.

No longer private.

I'm hoping for another Cole. So you can have a team of 5 different Coles.

Thrilled that there are a bunch of DLC skins from the books. That is gonna be so awesome!
I'm curious on the model of Bai Tak, I can't see how they'll use the same hitbox since the guy is so much smaller.
Was hoping for Trescu too, make it so Epic.
