The custom covers Borman made for the game haven't already been posted have they?

Is this due to the title update?
Any videos showing it in it's current state?

Sucks if it's useless now. It was fun to use.

well it's not totally useless. I mean, it's still a gun and it still fires bullets but it definitely feels like it's changed since the beta.

I found that you have to be much closer to the person (I've yet to see anyone go down from a sos) and it seems to be much harder to hit people if they're running or bouncing around close to you.

If you catch people slipping then you will easily kill them. It's obviously still very powerful but it seems to require a little more control.

the point is I don't think it will be as big of a problem as some were fearing.

Don't forget:

- The beta thread
- The NeoGAF XBL Gears tags (I manage all three)
- Promotional assets for GoW Nation (logo and First Foray poster, and more)
- overall awesomeness and possessor of infinite levels of swag
:p

I wouldn't be doing all of this if I didn't love Gears or Epic. Though I don't do this stuff with the intent on getting stuff in the return, it would be nice. I do dedicate a lot of my personal and free time towards this stuff.

Some kind of
gig/ job
would be fucking awesome. A code would be cool, though I don't expect anything.

I know you're reading this thread Cliff.

I had many opportunities to snag the game early. I just didn't feel like paying the high cost of admission. I'm getting my Epic Edition and Retro Lancer tonight. I can't wait.

Yea definitely some kinda swag. You deserve it.

What about the range for downing people? Has that decreased as well?

I played a couple of matches against the bots and didn't feel like it was nerfed, maybe the spread has been reduced, but still felt great. I was thinking the title update may have tweaked it. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

Wait, you can play one player vs bots on the mp maps? What modes can you do this with and are there settings like bot difficulties or amount?

Does anybody with the retail game know if Thrashball Cole is still beta exclusive? Or is there a way to unlock him in-game. I'd be pissed if Epic took that away from beta testers.

as far as I could tell, there's no way to unlock him in-game

I was going to say "what's the prob., it was an open beta" and then I remembered that it wasn't. Still, I'd be willing to bet some spacebucks that Thrashball Cole ends up in one of the DLC packs.

I'm really warming up to Griffin in multiplayer.

Fail reload: "Fuckin' noob!"
Pick up weapon: "Hahahahahahaha. Yeah. Motherfucker."
No ammo: "I'm outta ammo, can you believe this!?"
Hit enemy point blank: "You can't be serious, DIE."
Headshot: "AW SHIT. YA HEAD'S GONE."

Ice-T is such a cool cat, his delivery is awesome. :D

Thats a mistake. Karen Traviss is one of the best in the business. :)

Yep, the books are awesome and add a lot to the universe. There is way too much backstory (prequels please Epic) to expose all of the character history in the videogames so the books are fabulous if you actually are interested in the world and characters.
There would probably be a lot less hand-wringing over the "Maria Maria!" crap that game #2 got if people actually knew some of the backstory.
Hoffman for example is a serious douche in the game but he's one of my favorite characters in the books.

Not only that, but all the additional back story and coverage it has on Baird makes you feel really sorry for the guys social problems. And Cole, you can't help but love the big guy too

Can´t say enough how great the campaign is!
For everyone still waiting for the game, make sure to read Coalitions End before starting, the game ties in perfectly.
Click to expand...
This is the position Im in :(
I love the gears books and have read the other three but I still haven't finished Coalitions End! I wanted to finish it over the past weekend but didnt have time! Im now debating whether I should leave the campaign until I've finished it...
Think Ill just sink my teeth into MP and Horde over the next few days instead :)

Yeah....

Plus, I'm at the text limit. I asked Evilore to create another post for me below so I can add more stuff.

Agreed. "If you wanted it, you should have pre-ordered" is one of the biggest BS trends that we've seen on the rise at places like GS. Complete bull. I love you, Amazon Prime.

my crew are hardcore Warzone fans and they are straight freaking out over the man up rule (where the team with more players wins the round at the end of the clock).

Cliffy, any way to make that optional in private/custom games?

For any of you living in Los Angeles, I may know of a store that will be selling it in 2 hours. I won't give away the name yet, until I call and confirm when they open. But the guy told me on Friday that there was a 99% chance it would happen.
