I've been wondering; is the Locust Queen a human or what? She looks like one. How the hell could she have reign over all the locust? I've played all three of the games and I must have missed the part when/if they explained it. I shouldn't have to read the fiction to find that out...

 

[Punisher]

Just found out why I don't have the headshot animation, it's because my locale is Japan.

If I change my locale i won't be able to find japanese games I guess right?

No exploding heads after headshots sucks so hard It always felt pretty great, now the model just falls over ><

That's really lame

Were other games in the franchise censored similarly?

 

[K' Dash]

ups, wrong thread

 

[Risk Breaker]

Got kicked from XBL as well. I'm pretty fucking tired of this shit service lately, god damn.

Apart from this, what other problems have you had?

Shes Human, read the Wiki if your curious.

 

[Arjen]

Live down for me as wel, couldn't even start a private horde game when signed in..

 

[Plasmid]

Question. Does the instagib melee just run up
To an enemy, they explode? Any enemy? (Gunker etc). 200 wretch kills isn't Hard at all.

Also, is the combat engineer ribbon once every 10 rounds? What's the best way to unlock infinite ammo?

 

[sixteen-bit]

with instagib melee, can AI opponents do the same to you?

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Apart from this, what other problems have you had?

Gears 3 has had incredibly slow matchmaking. But that's on Epic's end, not Microsofts I guess.

 

[Lima]

with instagib melee, can AI opponents do the same to you?

Yes

 

[Plasmid]

Mine is extremely fast, besides beast mode, matchmaking never works for me on beast.

 

[K' Dash]

on horde, yes, they 1 melee down you.

 

[reggie]

Gears 3 has had incredibly slow matchmaking. But that's on Epic's end, not Microsofts I guess.

Mine is perfectly fast and smooth, maybe it's on your end? Is your NAT moderate or closed?

 

[MrCompletely]

Gears 3 has had incredibly slow matchmaking. But that's on Epic's end, not Microsofts I guess.

Feels pretty fast to me actually, faster than most other games. Perhaps your router settings need some tweakin?

 

[K' Dash]

It takes a bit, but leagues better than GOW2.

 

[Grisby]

Gears 3 has had incredibly slow matchmaking. But that's on Epic's end, not Microsofts I guess.

Fast for me unless I try to get in a Beast game.

Oh, and speaking of which I was disconnected in the middle of one! Damns yous XBL, Dams yous to hells!

 

[njean777]

If you can get a competent sniper, head down to the hammer spawn and choose either side to turtle at. It REALLY is easy to 'lure' the opposing team from the high ground and poop on them.

hmmm never thought of that strategy will have to try it out next time.

 

[zlatko]

Okay so Live is back for me.

Who's still up for the arcade casual 4 player co-op run through?

 

[Scarecrow]

first q: everything can explode. i just exploded a

Spoiler

brumak

.

second q: fastest way i seem to get them is:

Spoiler

have a second controller plugged in and signed into an account(live isnt needed). start at wave 1, get to 10. after that start fortifying yourself. pick 5 places and do it. now let the bad guys kill you, fortify again, rinse repeat, you start to get low on fund kill everything in the wave except the last one or two, let them kill you. you keep the money and fortify again. ive gotten 40 ribbons in a few hours(5-6).

dont know how you got that done

Spoiler

when i tried it on a brumak i just got stepped on after i bashed on it half a dozen times.

 

[quickwhips]

sounds like your nat is messed up.

 

[2th]

Level 77 and only 270 matches played! What are we going to do once we hit 100 :/


"I made this! " is literally just that, an EPIC employee. I figured it out because PXG invited some dude who worked on Gears 3 and that was his medal too.

they also have the medal "I Made This"

 

[K' Dash]

I don't know about a brumak, but I killed 2 berzerkers on horde that way

 

[Grisby]

It's pretty lame, but I'm grinding the execution unlocks on private TDM with 9 casual bots.

Ha, I didn't even think to do that. And I'm about 10 or so away.

 

[zlatko]

Maxcer you still in? We'll start when panama is back and he'll invite us all since he has the mutators to make it even faster/easier.

 

[Miggytronz]

From what me and some friends gathered you can explode

Spoiler

brumaks in campaign but not horde

 

[panama chief]

dont know how you got that done

Spoiler

its all about location. i hit the side, not the front. same with corpsers. gotta wait for them to raise their legs, then face slap.

 

[RebornYeti]

Anyone down for some Beast Mode on Insane?

Message me or something: GT = RebornYeti

 

[zlatko]

Panama and I are in a group for Gears 3 arcade casual run in 4 player co-op.

Sign on now.

 

[Lima]

You can insta gib everything beside the lambent zerker and reavers.

Other than that that you are free to melee away.

 

[LosDaddie]

Yup, campaign at the same time.

Yesterday I played with some randoms and we applied a strategy on sandbar that was working great, then 2 people left and we lost at wave 40 I'm sure that if we do it with gaffers we can reach wave 50 easy on that map

Word. See you then.

And we would've cleared Horde last Friday, but those guys quit on Wave 45. We'll get it done this weekend.

You're on my friends list, if you wanted I could host an Insane playthrough maybe at some point. I have both infinite ammo and super reload unlocked.

Nice! I'm still doing my first campaign playthrough, but I'll let you know when I'm ready for my Insane playthrough. I don't even want to try it without Super Reload.

Nice. Thanks for this.

 

[backflip10019]

Question: If you turn on Super Reload and Infinite Ammo for campaign, can you still get the achievement for beating the game on Insane?

Yes.

Nice. Thanks for this.

You're welcome.

 

[backflip10019]

Yes.

Cool, thanks. Great list, too.

 

[Apoc87]

Infinite Ammo: In Horde Mode, unlock the Combat Engineer ribbon 100 times. During a round build, repair, or upgrade five fortifications to unlock this ribbon.

.

This ribbon cannot be obtained solo, has to be 2 or more players in the session.

 

[K' Dash]

I have 50 of those without even trying, but I only play Horde

 

[LosDaddie]

here is a list of all the mutators and the requirements to unlock them:

Super Reload:In Versus Mode, unlock the Bronze Master at Arms medal. Unlock this medal by scoring 300 kills with all five of the starting primary and secondary weapons.
.

I believe this one is supposed to be 100 kills with each starting weapon.

I have 50 of those without even trying, but I only play Horde

Awesome. I'll help you get the other 50 so we can have Infinite Ammo for the Insane run.

 

[K' Dash]

yeah, I updated the list with a trustable one.

Awesome. I'll help you get the other 50 so we can have Infinite Ammo for the Insane run.

Cool, we need to get on the super reload and insta gib requirements too.

 

[Liferebooted]

Does anyone know of any gears 3 sales going on atm?

 

[Plasmid]

74/200 Wretch kills, this is pretty annoying all alone :lol

 

[see5harp]

is that 200 wretch kills in campaign only or something? How is it that I only have 3/200? I must be a terrible coop partner or something because that don't sound right.
