If they turn all weapons into the SOS, then the game will be perfectly balanced.
You make the mistake once. You get bitched at. You never do it again. We shall see if the people Crream talks to say anything to him. It reminded me though i should have asked about that stuff tonight but The shit talking in my crowd is usually too funny for me to ask a lot of questions half the time.Alienshogun said:

Pretty sure I am level 47 with at least 100 tdm matches, the SOS is not hard to counter, I use it and miss plenty of times. Not to mention I see more people with gnashers more then any weapon. The range on the gnashers is ridiculous compared to the SOS. Just use lancer if you see the SOS or retro if you like the retro lancer. Also it's easy to know if they have an SOS due to the light on the front of the weapon. It's not op, if anything needs to be changed it is the range on the gnasher IMO. Quit complaining and learn to counter the weapon at hand. I was just like you when I first started to play the online portion of the game and after learning from my mistakes I started to counter all the SOS users and now I rarely die from the weapon at all. Its the gnasher that kills me the most now, but that could be due to everybody using it as an assault rifle.
Compared to the gnasher the SOS is nothing, the range is limited, only 4 shots, and a long ass reload time where you can close the gap.

what did you get most of your kills with?
Gnasher primarily of course! Lancer and longshot, probably around 4 kill with each.quickwhips said:
If you're trying to prove a point about using the shotgun too much or something, I have like 76% of my starting gun kills with the Gnasher according to the in-game stats. (To help you out)
27-0 record in ranked TDM, 2.6 K/D.

You left at the worst time too. Our next match was a tough.

in my short time with the game, I say the SoS ruins close combat; it's overpowered and not fun to use on top of it
and the spawning in most of the modes suck, I constantly see teams spawning at my backside. Most shooters with respawning spawn the other team as far away from opponents as possible, Gears seems to do the opposite, which is unnecessary considering how small the maps are.

When they call out "Enemy reinforcements" that means run away from that spawn, that is when they will spawn behind you. Also how has it ruined close combat? You mean shooting a gnasher off 2-4 times watching two people going at it is good close combat? Cuz to me its looks unbelievably stupid.

thanks, i'll look out for that
Yeah, it looked stupid, but it was fun. All the SoS use renders close combat as a mess of cheap, unsatisfying, one shot kills that's chessier than any of the shottie whoring seen in the series before.

3.3 k/d probably fucking went down. Fucking teammates (my friends btw) wouldn't fucking stay Digger on Old Town. That area is just too important, enemies can only come from two directions and are funneled right to you.
Goddammit.

I am officially done with this game until something is done with the Sawed-Off Shotgun. Either nerfed or removed completely. I have had enough.
Nothing has infuriated me as much as absolutely pouring Retro Lancer rounds into someone only for them to continue running at me full speed and explode me with the Sawed-Off.
It was fun while it lasted, but fuck Gears 3. And fuck Epic. You goddamn idiots can't figure anything out.

Ballistik said:But let's be like zlatko, 2.0+ overall K/D's only
K/D is all that matters in TDM.
I don't play for kills, I play to stay alive. Because if the enemy team isn't getting kills, they simply can't win. Any kills that come my way are just icing on the cake. Someone might think that getting 15 kills in a TDM is impressive, but it's completely worthless if they died 14 or 15 times. I don't always get more than 8 or 10 kills, but I can rest easy knowing I only cost my team 3 or less spawns over the course of the match.
Like on Sandbar TDM, if all 5 of our guys are on Digger (LIKE THEY FUCKING SHOULD BE), and we're winning, why chase kills? The enemy can't do anything, and therefore they can't win. We have them in checkmate.
tl:dr, Preservation of life > hunting kills. My philosophy in TDM games. My stats might seem impressive, but I assure you I'm nowhere near the best in the game. I can't wallbounce for shit, and my Gnasher is lacking. Smart play and positional awareness keeps me alive to get those ratios.
Ballistik said:
SOS is way too good in conjunction with wallbouncing. Epic QA probably can't wallbounce for shit, therefore they don't understand why it's that effective.
I've been thinking for a while that maybe Epic's strategy is just that once the buzz for Gears 3 has died off and all the casual Gears fans have migrated over to Battlefield, Call of Duty, etc. they'll say "okay, only the dedicated are left now so we can nerf the sawed-off and stop catering to casual players". Maybe I'm just thinking too optimistically though.
At this point, if Epic nerfs the sawed-off, I'd definitely be able to look past the dumb prices for weapon skins, charging for on-disc DLC and locking the new DLC maps out of matchmaking. (not to mention the lack of dedicated servers)

Honestly I'm not that serious, but I'm a little pissed because I got into it with one of my pals while playing. After telling everyone to fucking stay on Digger (Old Town), he was all like like "shut up". Then I was like, "Uh, I've only died twice and am positive while you've died 8 times and are negative". Then he was like "Well you play like a pussy" so I was like "Maybe but if that's why I have the highest k/d on the team, it obviously works".
Don't talk shit to me when you're clearly contributing to the other team's lead.
Fuck.

This game is so mean to me... when I'm playing on autopilot without giving much thought to what I'm doing I body everyone effortlessly, even manage kills that are complete bullshit from my perspective and shouldn't happen. But when I'm carefully placing my shots with total certainty that the guy should go down or explode in a fountain of giblets, they sponge like motherfuckers and gib me instead. It never fails.
Don't need to aim with it, range is greater than the gnasher. Completely ruins CQC and KotH.
Also the way it makes people play (this doesn't make it OP but it gets so old when people rush in with the sawed-off, either get their kill or they miss, then they run away until they reload and do the same thing again)

I hit lvl 49 tonight, hitting 50 will be the last possible achievement for the time being and then I'm out.
Gears 3 has reminded me why I primarily play single player games.
Some dude actually took the time to type out some hate filled message on live and sent it.
The amount of anger out there is just scary.

Still haven't gotten very far into the SP campaign, too much work, but what's really bother me so far is how much my team mates are killing the enemies. Even when I get close to dying I don't feel like I am accomplishing enough on my own. Sometimes my AI friends are killing the tougher enemies and sometimes they don't. It's really putting a dampening on the experience for me. And there's usually not enough enemies on screen to go around.
I can completely understand how much fun it could be with 3 friends, but comparing the SP experience to other SP experiences I don't feel like it's me against these creatures. For someone who likes to take their time playing games on their own, this makes a big impact on the experience. I hope the game feels a bit tighter the further I get but so far the implementation of four-player co-op in the "SP" campaign has really made it less enjoyable for people who play the game by themselves...
Not enjoying this nearly as much as I thought I would. I enjoy set-pieces, but few of the set-pieces so far affect gameplay which they do in other recent games I've played. Really disappointed so far. It sure still looks pretty though.
Oh, and getting hit by an exploding arrow feels cheap in SP. I pay attention to my surroundings and the chatter but I still from time time to time just out of nowhere get hit by them and explode.
