I'm having a blast with horde mode, though mostly when I have my friends playing. Random groups, not as much but still fun. Great game IMO.

I was placed in Silver 2 in both Koth and Dodgeball. I'm currently (W/L) 32/7 in Koth, and 57/13 in Dodgeball.
I'm still Silver 2 in both.

This may not be a popular opinion, but I think Horde needs a short MM gametype that is 10 or 20 rounds. I really like horde, but I don't regularly have 2/3 hours of uninterrupted game time.
It seems kinda busted atm where some people just can't go up. My friend has also been stuck at silver 3 for a shitload of wins, but I haven't had any real proplems moving up to diamond and I'm sitting at a ~55% winrate.
people have been asking for this since Gears 3. I hope they continue working on the game like 343 do with Halo and they actually go back and refine some of these things. A short horde mode with a steeper ramp would be great. They should also add the ability to join public games in progress.
Welcome to Gears of War multiplayer.

lol I'm the opposite. I lost a match and ranked up. I'll take it though.
Been playing Gears for years. Don't start.
is this real life?, is this just fantasy? nooh this is fucking gears of war
this just happened to my brother

on a second thought, could it be that escalation has execution rules?

Also, did we make it harder on us by
Swarmak fight??
I'm playing with my friend on Insane and I was wondering if it was worth trying to
pick off all the drones, and then focus on the Swarmak pimples. The problem is that the swarm drones keep coming up to our platforms (we each post up in opposite side platforms where you hit the switches), and overwhelming us.
Also, did we make it harder on us by
activating all 4 switches before we started attacking the swarmak?
Then you should now how inconsistent the Gnasher has been since the start..?
It's the biggest complaint I've seen for every single game.

Has anyone from coalition talked about shotgun yet?

So maybe the dev should get it right? Why should we excuse it because it's been shit every single game?
People like you make no sense.
They have not.

The gnasher's been about as consistent as it's ever been for me. That's probably not saying a lot but I'd say it's about as reliable as Gears 3.
I think for me, the thing that's keeping it from ever getting there is the fact that there are 2 different weapon balances in the game. Oh, and that stupid 'ghost ammo' thing.
Never had issues with the Gears 3 shotgun like I do in Gears 4.
Just rolling social versus and I found a group that was using mics and were pretty funny and we've been grouping up since. Today we played some private lobbies doing stuff like all snipers or shotties only and it was pretty damn fun.
For the shotgun, I think it feels solid but I still get hung up when I swap modes. When I was doing escalation it seemed like it took WAY more shots to get anything done and I was pretty much getting zero gibs. Though pre-active gnasher wrecks on both.

fuck everything about Insane difficulty, I love how games are made hard for the sake of being fucking hard. You get shot WHILE IN COVER. You can peak out, shoot once, go back into cover, AND YOU WILL BE HURT.
I honestly don't want to play this until it's like patched or something. This has to be a fucking bug, it was bad before and now since insane doesnt even let you get downed you just straight die its fucking unfair. Gears 1 was bad on insane during fucking turret sections(a staple of video games breaking down on different difficulties) or on rails shit(the car and mine cart).
Now I can't even kill fucking DB's without using an entire clip on 1 enemy, you run out of ammo because of how tanky they are. Horde Insane is fucking easier because they give you skill cards that makes enemies explode and you a god.

i felt the pacing in gears 1 was better but they nailed the intimate violence that was lost in 2 and 3.

Just finished the campaign on hardcore. Nothing stuck out as exceedingly difficult but I can see it being a pain in the ass on Insane if things are ratcheted up a few notches. Didn't get the stupid achivement for carrying the custom lancer for the whole game because I ran out of ammo and picked up a Hammerburst at the end of chapter 4 during that long ass fight and never picked it up. To think I only needed to hold it for another hour smh
All in all I thought the campaign was pretty good. Hopefully some of the locust enemies make it into horde mode. The first few rounds of DBs are a snooze fest

agreed. The checkpoints feel farther apart on Insane and it's brutal.
Usually I play on normal because I've found out that people stay the longest. On both Casual and Hardcore players leave quite often - AND the game doesn't refill those slots. Which, I think, is a abhorrently humongous flaw in the game. Not a dealbreaker, but very close.
Online playing works good for me - besides not being able to join my friend's Xbox group and party chat.............. *grumble*

One could assume that playing on Horde Hardcore you would encounter reliable players. I always give the benefit of doubt to low level as it doesn't represent skill level and a lvl 1 can be as good as a level 50, but damn, I hate the people that expects you to play their game for them and if you do not do it they just quit (wave 5 or 11)
Yesterday I was playing (trying) to play some Horde. People go solo and if they go down and you don't revive them they quit, people (soldiers for instance) built their own turret and they don't care if the engineer can built it cheaper of healthier or if the Heavy class can do more damage with it or the fact that there is no need to use it in low numbered waves because of frisking expensive to reload it. That was just an example
One dude (Soldier class) was the whole time telling to the team: "we need friking money to reload my turret... c'mon reload my turret' etc He spent the whole time hang in there w/o moving. We maybe not fast enough according to him because he just bought the repair tool for himself. Twice (because he did during the boss wave)
Really people, respect the classes and play for the team, it really makes Horde a lot easier (I've completed it with random which played it like intended).
Now, I please don't tell me everybody can play the game as they pleased because you are right and that annoys me even more

Yes we do, it's for both Xbox and PC, have about 28 people so far.
But I am surprised that absolutely no one here replied to you or is interested in joining the discord channel (apart from the ones who already have). Seems like people just ignore my post about discord lol...I even asked for it to be included in OP but never happened.

I'm having this issue with the shotgun. It seems more prevalent in some matches than others though
Finally made ONYX last night in TDM whoop whoop. I'm stuck at Gold 2 in Dodgeball but that's because I haven't played it in awhile. I don't think it's based on Win/Loss. It might be based on total points you get at the end of the game. I don't think it matters if you win or lose because i played mostly with randoms in the beginning and was put in Gold 2 off the bat. I lost about 3 or 4 of my placement games but I believe I was usually in 1st place or close in all the games.

I finally got enough credits to snag an operations pack and I ended up with not one, but two emblems...Country emblems...
When did I ever excuse it?
It's been my main complaint as well, I wish they could just get it right. But for some damn reason that hasn't happened yet, so I assume it's not as easy to fix as you might want it to be

I was hoping to do the same thing. Checked my account yesterday and no luck as of yet.
Yeah some of that bullshit that still happens is frustrating and kinda what is making me stop playing now. Also their terrible progression system. It's nice that there are rewards but the implementation is just terrible. Back to Forza and BF1 I go for now.
So just noticed I got codes for all the 360 Gears,for 1 to Judgement...not sure if those are the enhanced version from the remake they did or the originals(are those even on the backward comp thing,guessing not) so if anyone wants one,quote this and tell me which one you want.
It's the originals, and they're all backwards compatible.
Gears 3 plz!
I started the campaign co-op with a buddy last night.
Played through all of Act 1 and half of Act 2.
Unfortunately very unimpressed with the start. There's some real cool visuals on display at times, but the level design and combat encounters were awfully bad. I get that you want to introduce players to new concepts but it felt like a 3 hour tutorial.
Really hoping the game picks up now!

Hey, can I have the key for Judgement? It's the only one I don't have on BC and I've never played it before. Would be cool to see People Can Fly's take on Gears. Thanks!
Just wait.
My fingers are crossed, it does indeed seem like an overly long intro.
Hopes are high for the rest of the game
Definitely. I've played Horde for about 4 matches, but always have to bow out at some point (after a boss wave and really only after another guy or two has left), but I always feel bad.
I'm just waiting for Sunday to try again when maybe I can go the full 50.
New wallpaper get. Thanks!
