WTF.
Sounds good.Deez said:
The lancer is a proper counter to the Gnasher. It's a way better weapon for co-ordinated teams. At mid range active lancer headshot downs guys pretty fast, but I feel dirty using it. I like to pay proper respect to people who attack me with a Gnasher, SOS users on the other hand no sympathy.Dan Yo said:

Apparently green skins are going to be for sale too.
So much for anything being exclusive.
Edit: ah, I see it up there.

Which is odd since the lancer is a beast. The hammy as well, but it loses to the all round functionality of the lancer. The Retro is a good shotty replacement, but it's just too difficult to use ranged. So I think we have attained proper balance here. Though I haven't experienced how the SOS nerf in effect yet, but it sounds good in theory.LeonSKennedy90 said:
The main issue with the gnasher, in addition to its range, is its large magazine, fast reload, and ease of active reload. Because of all of these things, a gnasher player can easily strafe in and out of cover, firing a shot out each time and be virtually invincible from attack. The gnasher is capable of downing an opponent in 1 or 2 shots from an almost ridiculous range, especially with an active reload which is extremely easy and quick to obtain.2San said:
The sawed off did have too much range, but it at least only had 1 shot before the user was done. The gnasher makes attack almost impossible on an opponent that is patient enough. I'd prefer the sawed off be a starting weapon over the gnasher any day.

Yet it's worse than the lancer in proper co-ordinated play. Feel free to look footage from the better players you'll see it's pretty rifle/power weapon centric. Mid range active lancer really gives the Gnasher a run for it's money. I think most of your problems comes from lack of team play. You can be the best player in the world, but in Gears you really do need a team. With 2 full parties against each other the Gnasher really is the least of your problems. The main issue with the Gnasher is that seasoned players enjoy using it. Thus it looks ridiculous at times.Dan Yo said:

Woah. I am seriously fucking impressed/surprised by the nerfin' of the SOS. Epic DO care! And even though it was beginning to grate on my nerves less and less as time went by, this course of action was the correct one. There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with having one dominant shotgun.
Noobs: learn how to use the Gnasher effectively; it's more fun to use, plain and simple.
Everyone else: let the Gnasher Fest begin.

May be placebo effect, but for the first time I went into wingman and nearly no one was using sawed off. The one guy that did I dominated head to head. It definitely felt like it's doing far less damage at range now. It feels much easier to evade.
I wanna believe this is real, because the sawed off really should be a win by surprise weapon, not a head on beating a gnasher weapon.
Believe.
Dude, the lancer > gnasher still.
I love my lancer.

Exactly. Give me an active hipfired gears 3 lancer any day of the week.
Now you tell me I can have a lancer AND a gnasher.
It's like Christmas, New Years, Easter and the fourth of July wrapped into one.
ZROCOOL said:
I was already used to rolling/evading them to make them shoot too early, but I always too a little damage. Now I'm not taking any.
Like I said, could have been that one game and just pacebo effect.
I get the feeling they may have did what I was hoping. Reduce the gib range to gnasher gib range.
In case people missed it as well... The Liquid Green skins will be on sale January 3 for 320 MSP.

they dont need to do TUs to update stuff like that. Weapons damage and stuff like that can be done without a TU and is rather easily accomplished from what all Epic has said about their system.Raxus said:

Speaking of Liquid Green skins, anyone want a code now? I'm looking to trade for Mech Baird or either Savage characters. PM me if interested.

Confirmed as DLC.
If the big leaked list is real then we should be expecting a second season pass. Even still 27 Characters, 3 per pack mean 9 packs.
I suppose at a push they could put 4 characters in the certain packs, Like the single player ones.
It kinda make sense for the current DLC to be on disc, It means that after the game went gold, they had a 1-2 week holiday then they could jump back in to it making DLC. The first pack ships earlier and the next 3 (for season pass 1) come out at regular intervals.

Man, I've actually not even used it. Well, except for when the game annoyingly defaults me with it once in a blue moon. I've become one with the Retro to such an extent that the 'barely there' recoil actually makes it harder for me. Speaking of the Retro, even it is arguably better than the Gnasher. The amount of times I've had the drop on someone with the Gnasher only to be downed by their Retro (probably due in no small part to a shitty shot from me, too); 'tis crazy. They're such a formidable pair.

You have to buy a large drink (which comes with a large combo obviously) and on that large drink is a code that you have to input on jacksgotgame.com. You will receive a message telling you if you won or not. You do have to register on that site so they can e-mail you the actual code if you do win.njean777 said:
