Sorry, I'm part of the "problem." Shamelessly, too. I bought the flower pack and one other random one. Running around in Gears with a purple/pink flower retro lancer amuses me so much that it was more than worth it.Square Triangle said:

GGs Fine Wine, Balistik and co. Too bad we lost that last game, but I liked how chill the party was, it was a good time.

Did they give up on dedicated servers? Been experiencing a lot of snap backs recently.

Are you doing it by yourself?
If you are, I thought I posted a video on how to do it really easily. Trying to do it the real way just doesn't work on insane if you are alone.
The last phase is the most important part.

I popped the game in tonight to try and blow off some steam/loosen up.
Played... 3 games of ranked TDM? My awful mind set lead to 2 and 9, then 9 and 3, finally I think it was 2 and 7 on the last game. I said fuck destroying my stats and went to quick match.
Played 2 games of that. Went 13 and 0 both. One was Sandbar, the other was Gridlock. I was popping domes left and right. People in quick match are the absolute worst, but it did help me relax and feel better.

Sounds like a respawn timer like most games...DR3AM said:

I think it's because they release respawns at ceratin time intervals, if you just missed one the time is longer to the next. When it's short it's because it's right before a respawn.DR3AM said:

Ranked is tougher by far, quick matches let you juice up your K/D ratio because there are some matches where it's 5 humans against 5 bots etc. etc. I've stopped with ranked because I like being able to quit out of a quick match with no penalty if I don't like the map or my team completely sucks, and you can't do that in ranked without penalty. My last 2 games of quick matches I had an 8, 6, and 4 on my team, and we got destroyed, but I went 5 and 5, and then 8 and 8 in the those as the only person to finish even or better on K/D.
I will probably stick with quick TDM matches because it's easier, and I like the lack of penalty system. Playing with randoms can be insanely difficult.

I liked testing my mettle, but tonight it was nice to have a less tip top option. Plus the reasons you list are good for having it.
Another good addition for having quick match is since dedi's are down more often than up, at least in quick match you don't have to worry about lag/host, because if it's bad you can bail out, but in ranked you have to ride it out.
Does the Epic emblem mean the person you're playing with works for Epic? I played a ranked big head game with some guy that had the gamertag Epic Designer, rank 100 without playing nearly enough games to be there, and with the I'm Epic emblem.
Guy quit the game after being put down a couple of times.

I'm betting SOS has 0.9% of total kills, Gnasher somehow nets 115%, we're all crybabies.Addnan said:

I found an almost perfect spot, which coincidentally is the same everybody else has found and posted on youtube videos :-/.
Use the elevator as cover and only leave the place very wisely to get ammo and the hammer of dawn.
The transition between phases can be a bitch, as therons DELETE you. Jump forward, cover, and run to that spot I mentioned like there's no tomorrow. Forget about the therons as they'll keep coming if you kill them, and mark the queen so the AI companions shoot the Tempest's mouth whenever they can. You must shoot it too, but SAVE ENOUGH AMMO for when the Tempest hits the tower, you want to remove it from there asap.

That is flawed logic on Epic's part. There are many people that will not use the SOS at all and these people are going to get their kills somehow. The population distribution of SOS users to that of Gnasher users will be greatly skewed and their numbers will be pointless without some sort of complex weighted analysis.

That's a sure bet, Cliffy tweeted this weekend that stats would be coming out soon and that we would all be surprised.

That argument goes both ways. I don't care about KDR, but the asshats who DO worry about KDR and steal kills blatantly, piss me off.

It still is. I did it with super reload and infinite ammo and it still took 3.5 hours.LosDaddie said:

See where I'm stuck is:Acidote said:
The third phase. After you shoot down the queen from the building the first time, she flies around a bit and you have to constantly deal with fliers and theron guards, which are, dare I say, unfairly random and killing some too close is an instagib death for you. These hamper your ability to advance towards the elevator region, and if you don't get there in time, when she gets back on the side of the tower, your fucked cause she EZ-Bakes Adam. Gonna try that elevator strategy but it doesn't seem to nearly work as well in 2 player co-op when I tried it earlier. :/ The fliers are a real problem, and they seemed like they weren't even there in that singleplayer video guide through it you guys posted. Oh and ammo is scarce as shit.

That's why I'm sure the stats are gonna say something like "hardly ANYONE uses the SOS, guys. Honest."nel e nel said:
And that won't mean the gun isn't broken, but they'll imply it does.
Agree with Addnan on the Hammerburst thing too.

The flyers do not bother you in the elevator position. And the therons don't bother you much either. There's a checkpoint right before the third phase, reload it until you get to that place. There is space for two people if you move right. If your AI teammates are downed do not bother going to revive them, wait until they get to you crawling.

lol, this shit kills me.
People are bitching about using the regular lancer now.
Some mush mouth mother fucker said we were noobs for using it, yet his entire team was using sawed off.
Is that what this has come to? Seriously.
I'm sorry, but I'm going to keep using my lancer effectively and liberally to ensure your ass keeps sitting the fuck down.
Noob weapon, lol.
The issue with the HB is that even with the nerf it got, the damn thing is strong as hell still, especially on someone with a good trigger finger.

I don't care if someone kills a guy I've downed across the map. That's fine, I probably wouldn't be able to kill him anyway.Live Free or Die said:
But, when someone kills a guy I'm trying to execute, then I'm going to get pissed. Especially when it's the last guy, and it was obvious that I downed him.

In the third phase the ammo boxes respawn far to your left where the hammer and the therons spawn as well. It's not an option unless the coast is really clear, which is, a next to never situation.
@Willeth, yeah but it's completely fucking random in quantity and positioning, we get them all the time, even worse they spawn really high sometimes, sometimes right above you. Once I even had a

Spent probably 3 hours on that shit already. Not giving up though.

they did the same thing with Gears 2. Epic dropped stats saying host team only won like 49 percent of the time or something, trying to imply host wasn't that big of a deal.... I'm sure I don't have to tell you how ridiculous that assertion was.
