Nah, below I believe.
I started at Bronze 3 but have managed to make my way up the rankings fairly quickly. As I've said though, at my current rank, there's a lot of stacked teams now.
It's tough going.

Is the IQ on Versus a little soft? I have trouble seing enemies at long distance
Nope, it's most likely that sometimes you see the dynamic res in play since versus does aim for higher framerate.
Got some playtime with the game today, was underwhelmed with the prologue and Act 1 but Act 2 and the little I've played of Act 3 was great. Can't wait to continue the campaign. Graphics also looked much better once I hit Act 2.
I've passed this bit, but good god, what an amazing looking game, unbelievable at times. Coalition and Scorpio should be something special.

Keep playing; the game gets better as you go along. I was bored in the first half, but the later half gets fun.
I skipped nearly all the cutscenes as the story is pretty much non-existent and the parts I did see were silly. But the game clearly had high production values.
Yeah, I should have specified that I meant more movement as in like you can rope swing in UC4. The climbing adds a verticality to it as well that, of course, you can't get in Gears because it's not designed for that.
Although Judgement actually tried to add that.
I beat it solo on hardcore without ever dying but I was basically never not on the catwalks above. You can hit the inside of the generators from there too, the missiles never were able to do much.
It's definitely possible. Just requires patience.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
Me and my brother finished the campaign and it was so much fun. I give the game a 9 and he gives it an 8.5. The ending was abrupt though. And this will most likely be my GOTY, even as a Naughty Dog fanboy I enjoyed this much more than Uncharted 4. So excited for Gears Of War 4. Im hoping it's a 2018 release.

I can't for the life of me distinguish between COGs and DBs in multi.
Been doing my placement matches for KotH in Core. Man, some games in this are WORSE than social quickplay. Just people aimlessly ignoring objectives or wandering around on both teams. Then the next game the enemy team stomps out a victory. Jesus.
This is an issue for me as well most times.

Just met every shitty player in Horde tonight. People buying the wrong things, quitting at random times, wasting heavy weapons.
Great mode but bad players will kill it.

Initially this was an issue for me, but I got used to it quickly. I still think the DeeBees should have been part of the COG's though lol.
Yep they should have included DeeBees with COG since...well they are COG. Especially since the outsiders are included as COG when they are the ones COG fight.
Basically they should have just done this COG/DeeBees/Outsiders vs Locust/Swarm. And use all the characters from the series.

I even hear the sound and it still throws me. Their metallic parts resemble the COG armor too much. I look like a fucken idiot to all of my teammates.

Sitting at 3 in a current casual Horde match.
Gamer tag is Agent Scarn M

I'm at Onyx 2 and my ratio is exactly .5 so I guess that means matchmaking is working? Like you said though the only games I'm losing are ones when I come up against
a team of people who obviously play together (same gamertag etc). I'm probably at my limit without a good team.

I wish the DeeBees were COG so I could use them in Horde.

Just had an INCREDIBLE first ever game of Horde (Normal) on Forge. 2 dudes quit by round... I think 13, but me, the guy in my party, and a rando made it all the way round 40. Seriously intense. 2 Engineers and a Soldier. I'm convinced that if we'd had a Scout, we'd have finished it out. Basically nobody in those first rounds bothered to deposit energy, either. If we'd had the energy to keep our manned turrets up and running, I think we coulda gone the distance.

The beginning is so unbelievably boring. Finally playing as the kid.
Edit: more absolutely boring firefights. This game is looking to be absolutely bog standard.

So great to be playing this with a mouse and keyboard. That alone makes it my favorite Gears title as I absolutely stink with a controller.

Anyone interested in maybe playing Horde in about an hour?

I finished the game and immediately started it again. I'm loving it just as much. I've never wanted to play a Gears game again, besides the first. Coalition knocked this one out of the fucking park!
Same here, but playing on PC I still get ranked with bronze and people playing placement matches so...
I've been stuck on Onyx 3 for so long too, guessing it's because I have never even seen anyone at diamond yet and that it takes much longer to rank up playing against all these silver players.

i still have a Gears 2 code if anyone wants it
I would be down for it another night. Starting at 11pm during the week is just too late. You can add me for the future if you like. GT - Iceman829

I was watching a stream earlier and they mentioned how you don't get a loss when you quit. Can anyone verify that?
Clint Beastwood

Would explain why everyone quits so I'm gonna say it's probably true
Shrennin
Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
That's stupid if true. They should make it so you get a double loss plus time ban (reasonable) if you quit. They could make it so you can quit a match with relatively no penalty once every 3 hours to make sure people aren't getting penalized for disconnects and whatnot out of their control, but after that it should be a pretty big penalty.
Gears of War's cheap proximity kills are always my fave when they go in my favor ^_^

I wish there was a higher tier than diamond. Even in Diamond, I still feel too far above everyone else I'm currently playing even without a team backing me up. If I'm dropping 20+ steadily even in a game mode like Dodgeball against people that are supposed to be my skill, I find that pretty goofy.

Maybe Gears isn't your thing.
The gameplay in the first few acts is terrible, that's not a revelation.

Seems like they get ranks they don't deserve for some reason. I've run into a few diamonds/onyx playing with my friends on Xbox and I've destroyed them.
Meanwhile the game refuses to rank me up despite me barely ever losing, and having MVP in 45% of my matches..
Yeah I play King with a team of 3-4 usually and I probably already have about 15 wins on my diamond. My win ratio is like 86%, I think I've only lost like 10 ranked matches in the 70 I have played. The ranks need to be fixed.
I know halo does that number next to your rank when you are in onyx, maybe they should incorporate something like that in Gears to differentiate within the rank.

Hey can somebody answer this real quick please. Xbox players can play with PC players? I have an Xbox one and my friend on PC wantS to buy it if he can play with me. Are they completely the same servers and everything?
