I think Gears will get on to sell more than Halo Reach.

Any MP streams?

Mausoleum is my fav. map from the entire franchise. It was a *little* big for 4v4 but it would be perfect for the new 5v5, slightly faster Gears3 feeling.

WANT.

Wasn't Gears 2 5v5?

 

[Ballistik]

Wasn't Gears 2 5v5?

Mausoleum is Gears 1. And I agree, great map. It looked great in Gears 1, It would look stunning in Gears 3. (As long as they don't make it snowy!)

If the word gets out that Gears 3 multiplayer actually works, it might do really well in the end.

Ah, my bad.

 

[Rapture]

Great fun reading this thread! I ordered from Amazon so probably going to chug a bottle of NyQuil and go into stasis lol

How's that - I thought it was emailed to you on day of release?

 

[Diablohead]

Chrome sawed off for owning a gears pc achievement? hmm I will have to buy gears pc at some point I wanted to own it anyway for that extra chapter

Problem is, they did that reviewer event for multiplayer, like Gears 2, when they should had carried on the beta, or let reviewers play from their offices...

I remember when reviewers said the gears 2 multiplayer was awesome as hell... only for it not to work at launch, or for a while...

Still, I player gears for the single player, and I liked the first two, and this once looks to top both of those. So I'm happy.

Thought you had your trade situation handled?

One of them yes, but the other no.

I needs that Mech Baird. So yeah...

Anyone who wants to give me Mechanic Baird for Commando Dom, let me know. I need's my baby daddy Baird.

 

[Diablohead]

LAN gears 1 is still amazing, it might be old now but when everyone has 0 ping the game really shined.

 

[allan-bh]

Cliff pre-order number refers to Vg C*****

who wants to do some midnight campaign? That is where i will be starting. CDT though. Screw the rest of you time zones getting it before me! lol

Lifetime or it's first month? Reach did 3.3 mill September 2010, I can't see Gears 3 topping that. I can see it doing over 2 mill this month.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I got a Commando Dom (he's wearing no underwear?) code if someone wants to swap for a Locust code?

 

[2th]

Yep, alongside River, Blood Drive, Jacinto and Clocktower.

BulletMarsh too as well. Or so a little bird tells me.

 

[Rickard]

I want an Eastern Time co-op buddy or 3.

Who's lonely?

Herp derp

I think that we're talking about different territories. In America Reach will own, but I think it will be closer in Europe... Though how we tell is up in the air...

 

[ZROCOOL]

That's a good point, I don't know but if there is one then it just won't work and we won't trade. Worth giving it a try?

Hmm. Maybe we can get an answer on this before trading away.

 

[JambiBum]

So close. Straight into my veins.

 

[-PXG-]

Jambi, where do you live? Never asked you.

 

[bluedeviltron]

Mine shipped from Amazon. It'll be a long wait to 4:30 pm tomorrow.

Fuck you, UPS.

 

[Roddslayer]

I think Gears will get on to sell more than Halo Reach.

Probably since Reach didn't have "Halo 4" in the title

 

[JambiBum]

Jambi, where do you live? Never asked you.

Middle of Indiana. I would have gone to the nyc launch if I was closer.

How has the past Gears game done in Europe, for comparison sake?

 

[Ningo]

Just picked this baby up. Sorry only have crappy xperia 10 phone camera.

 

[ToyMachine228]

BestBuy fucked up my Baird DLC. So emo.

Did they send out the codes already or something? My receipt said they'd send the code via email on release day.

 

[RebornYeti]

Oh lawd, can't wait until Friday!

Holy shit, Kantus in Beast not only revives, but it heals your team's health. WHAAAAAA

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

Godammit! My girl decided to take off tomorrow as well, and wants to go out. Fuck that noise...

 

[Sanic]

I want that console so bad.

I guess i'm gonna pick this up tomorrow. Honestly wasn't too into the beta, but I feel I need to play this if only to complete the trilogy. GoW was the first game I played on my 360.

 

[JambiBum]

Holy shit, Kantus in Beast not only revives, but it heals your team's health. WHAAAAAA

Is he super expensive to unlock?

 

[-PXG-]

Is he super expensive to unlock?

I think it was $1250, I'm not sure.

Godammit! My girl decided to take off tomorrow as well, and wants to go out. Fuck that noise...

Hahahaha. Tell her NO!

I can't find it now, but I know it did a lot better than Halo does over here.

Here's wiki:

Give her chocolate and sex.

I like to see that line, "Fuck that noise woman, I'm playing Gears of War"

 

[The Xtortionist]

BulletMarsh too as well. Or so a little bird tells me.

Was this little bird intoxicated? Because it wasn't in the beta files.

Though I wouldn't mind. Bullet Marsh was kinda fun.

 

[-PXG-]

Give her chocolate and sex.

That's one in the same for Kydd

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Both of my copies just shipped from Amazon! HYPE +1

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Damn... In watching so random Justin.TV Gears 3 MP stream and the streamer is in a party with his boys. They're all talking about buying multiple skins or even the full launch pack!!!!

WTF?! Epic & MS are going to be raking in sooo much cash off of random dudes like these guys.

 

[-PXG-]

That Paul Jr trike should be in the game. Seriously. Put that in the campaign DLC
