I switch rifles depending on which level I'm about to play. For smaller maps I usually go with Lancer or Retro, and for the bigger maps I either choose Hammerburst or Lancer. Basically, Lancer is almost always a good choice.MCXC Pioneer said:

Basically: it's not just a cosmetic thing. Some of the bigger characters are at a disadvantage while in cover and can get hit, while other smaller characters are completely safe.
Time to switch to Sam/Myrrah.
Someone's got some explaining to do.

Playing Boomer in Beast mode seems to be a pretty easy way to rack up cash. Just lob some shells into a concentration of people and fortifacations, and you can rack up some "destroyed" points real quick.

I KNEW I wasn't tripping. Epic is so full of shit. Same hit boxes my ass. How could they be the same, since some (mainly the female) characters are smaller? It wouldn't make sense for them to take damage from invisible/ non existent areas. No wonder I'd take more damage and die more often when I played as RAAM.
I knew something was up through out the years. Damn...

Well, the lightmass bomb was also supposed to kill the Locust and obviously didn't, so the Kryll still live in my mind! Bring them back CliffyB!

Didn't know of another streaming site to upload it to so here is a download link for that hitbox video instead.

Many thanks.
I always felt like it was getting hit more in cover as the savage theron.
I'm guessing it's easier to hit people with the one shot then if they're a bigger character. hiding behind cover does nothing!
this combined with the right-hand advantage thing from the other video explains so much

SOS change sounds minor to me and I usually use both shotguns, not tried it myself yet.
EXP changes sounds rather upsetting, 3 weeks of lovely juicy xp which everyone even casuals could enjoy seeing is now half? going to suck getting to 100 now when a lot of players have had an easy route to that number, it should stay as it was after all this time.

hm, I knew that I have had some bullshit deaths behind cover from the oneshot but this explains so much.Seth Balmore said:From the guy who brought us the Ga-nasher vs. Sawed-Off comparison, here's Unfair Character Hitboxes for your viewing pleasure:

I think in the first week of Gears 3 I got gibbed behind cover by a Torque bow and I was playing as the Savage Kantus or something. That was all it took to convince me that there were different hitboxes.
But I still play as whatever I want; I'm not competitive enough to base my player model choices on the 1-in-100 times I would get killed by something like that.

Awwwwwyeahhhhhh. Got my KDR up to a respectable 2.0 tonight after some serious heartache for the last few weeks. And hooray for the SOS nerf. There was actually one instance where one dude's shot should have gib'd the fuck out of me, but it did nothing .
Quick question: how long will 12 waves of Beast take me if I'm to go about it in the quickest way possible? I wants me some savage Theron.

On insane with friends should take no more than 15-25mins. Less if you guys are pretty good.mickcenary said:Awwwwwyeahhhhhh.

Not surprising. I remember Gears 2 had different hitboxes. The most obvious being Kantus' headshot vulnerable area.Seth Balmore said:From the guy who brought us the Ga-nasher vs. Sawed-Off comparison, here's Unfair Character Hitboxes for your viewing pleasure:

I'm watching some streams right now on Arson's channel, and these kids using sawed off are yelling at his team for crossing with lancer.
In a ranked match the other team beat them all using sawed off/hammer burst and yelled "get raped" at the end.
Do they not realize the irony?
lol

So Quinn replied to my tweet about the hitbox video, but seemingly promptly deleted it or it's not showing up. I got it in my email though.
Quinn, I know you post here as Deez (not that it's a secret), could you clear this up?
Here's the tweet.
Also, what exactly does "hitbox rules" mean and why would the longshot be exempt from "hitbox rules"?

Reposting for the new page, for those unwashed masses not using 100 posts per page. This is too important to leave behind.

So the longshot now suddenly works with some magical hitbox that autodetects game geometry and converts it to a hitbox or what? They should sell that technology, really.
I don't doubt this for a second, but two things:Seth Balmore said:From the guy who brought us the Ga-nasher vs. Sawed-Off comparison, here's Unfair Character Hitboxes for your viewing pleasure:

He wasn't shooting Anya in the exact same spot. I realize you couldn't even SEE Anya, but that doesn't matter, we are talking about Hitboxes.
Second, she wasn't holding the same gun, doesn't that change your stance?

Someone needs to post this on the Epic forums.
Nothing shady about it to be honest. Just decided against getting invloved in that doctored youtube vid.
Basically when you are in cover, the code blocks any damage in that situation except the sniper rifle b/c we want to give pixel hunters the benefit of the doubt.
I say doctored b/c any other character would have appeard hidden like Anya except the Theron. Try that with the drone, grenadier, kantus, Marcus, etc and they too would have appeared hidden behind cover.
This is such a non-issue.

Theron's/RAAM have always been the worst to pick in Gears games for MP purposes. If their skirts are sticking out, you can stick Torque arrows in the skirts and when they blow up it will kill the Theron/RAAM. The cover stuff has been there in other Gears games with them too, because if I remember right in Gears 1 you could just aim for the collars when they were on covers for active downs.

Thanks for the clarification Quinn. I'm making sure to clear that up over at Epic Forums...
Where are you at on the campaign? I've been replaying it chunk by chunk in Arcade mode. It's so much easier since players respawn after they die. Last night I was playing with a team of three that had the mutator that shot rainbows and stars out of the Locust when they died. Absolutely hilarious.LosDaddie said:
I've been playing earlier in the night, though, so I'm typically on my out when I see you sign in on Live.
Had some douchebag host in Arcade just now going for the Number 1 ribbon, as was I. He refused to revive me when I was top of the board, and when we finished the chapter with me on top he quit before the scoreboard and kicked out to the menu before I got the ribbon.
Fuck that guy.

Yup. It's like people refuse to believe that a Gears game can be released without a major flaw.Apoc87 said:
