I just went 9-1 in dodgeball and the match lasted less than 2 minutes. I'm pumped!

Gears of War 4 |OT| Still Epic

- Start date
I am loving the game and I don't have much to complain with the multiplayer. Things that stand out....Hammerburst is really strong and I've been downing people easily long range. Boltok is really fun to get headshots with. Gnasher has felt really consistent, although sometimes I get kills where I don't even feel I deserved. It's kind of insane how fast paced the game is, 1 v 1 shotgun battles don't last at all, it's just too easy to land shots and kill others. I feel it has become a twitch shooter with how quick you have to be.
One thing that I'm concerned about is the ranking system. My friend already hit diamond in King of the hill and I don't think he's played that much or won that many games. I don't think you should rank up if you're not beating those that are higher ranked than you. He said it was too easy to hit the highest rank.
One other thing, is there website to check your MP stats? The Gears stats page is still up and shows you your stats for all the gears games up to Gears: UE, but no Gears 4.
You are going to have a bad time, that or I just suck at the campaign. Insane is well... insane. I gave it a go with a friend, it took us like 7 hours to get to Act 2 chapter 3. We took a break, it's ridiculous.

Jesus the team AI in this is just dumb as bricks.
I wish I could just tell them to follow me sometimes, it's making some of these encounters way more difficult than they should be.

Hammerburst is the secret top tier weapon no one uses. I'm picking people off across the map and get assist left and right.
Insane campaign in this game is so much harder than the other gears games because of the lack of down but not out. Took us like an hour and a half to get past act 0.

It's good. I hear it is little shorter than 1-3, but far better than Judgment. I'm about 80% through and am really enjoying it a lot.
My favorite campaigns are 1 and 3, I'd put this one right alongside gears 2 assuming the last 20% holds up.

I'm so awful in versus but boy does the 60FPS look great. Anyone down for cooping the campaign?
On the previous pages there are some posts about the game.

I had a torrid time to begin with, but I'm starting to get back into the flow of things. I've only played by myself though, so I'm at the mercy of my matchmaking system.
It's tough out there. The standard of play is fairly high too, though I expect it to drop next week as new players get in on the action.
I think the enforcer is absolutely killer when used correctly, particularly with an active.

Thanks. For me personally i don't think there was a bad Gears game, so as long as its up there with the rest or even better than some, i'm perfectly ok with that. Its exciting that this is kicking off a new trilogy too.
Some players are really boneheaded. They had a player clear in their sights to use their Lancer and win the round. Instead they were trying to kill them with the Gnasher at range. Didn't work and they died.
Edit: Had 2 players in my Warzone match never get a single kill. Jesus. Not even downs. Nothing.

Honestly? A MUCH better start to a new trilogy than what Halo 4 did. The story itself is decent enough, and squad banter is pretty good at some parts.
It does drag on a bit though (Act 3 and some of 4). Overall it's pretty good and the final act was great.

I love the lack of respect when I down a guy and we're all alive just for the lowest guy on the scoreboard to take my execution from me. Bravo you filth.

I cant wait. I love that gears is back. I think the 60fps competitive may actually draw me back in, so this is going to be one hell of a package. I played allot of 3 multiplayer and some of 1. Mostly because it was the new hot thing. But 3 really nailed it for me.
You can pull back on the left analog stick to cancel your slide into cover. Angle your camera from one wall to another and apply that technique.
Jup same here. Alot of people go straight to the Gnasher. In the meantime i am laughing with the Enforcer when they try to pot shot me haha,
Okay got killed by a guy who juked me while doing it with the Gnasher lol
Haha samehere, I was being rushed by two gnashers and took them out with the smg, feels good man

A few days ago i bought a msi 1080 on amazon.
They gave a code to redeem on nvidia site.
But it's for paragon, and they said it is for gow4...
Anyone has the same problem?

Silky smooth, feels fair. It's taking up all my free time.
Is the max level 50 or 100?
Probably 100. I'm already 46 so I doubt it'd be 50.

It's already taking long to level up and I'm 38. What a pain in the ass it's going to be then.

Change your controls to split cover and roll into two buttons.
100 and then 10 times prestige i believe.

Got it downloading! Can't wait to play it. Question, if I pause it on W10 and turn off my PC, will it resume when I turn it back on in the morning? Or will I have to start again?

When I restarted my computer I got an error and had to download the whole game again I wouldn't suggest you doing that...

These snatcher fights can be the fucking worst sometimes, the AI is so fucking stupid.

So much of this game is on point and great, but man the progression/unlock system is a stinker.
No skins for achievements, beating campaign, etc, and loot boxes are wayyyy too expensive.
On top of that, so many of the unlockable weapon skins are just plain ugly. Certainly not very compelling once you get a couple that you like.

Map voting needs to die full stop.
At the very least they shouldn't offer you the map you've just played on as an option.
COD had to learn that, no idea why repeating the map more than once is still a thing in MP games.

Probably doesn't help that the majority of the maps in the game are just okay at best.
I was never a fan of Gridlock. I probably prefer all the new ones to it.
