Is that still happening? The melee looked so slow I didnt think it was possible.
I haven't seen it happening on streams

I two-pieced a guy with the EMBAR (killed via headshot), it's definitely possible

My biggest disappointment as well... There is 0 inspiration in the music with gears 4. Just a droning on generic menu theme and nothing at all memorable -.-

Im sure it's possible but based on what I've seen and played so far it's way less prevalent than it was in Gears 1-3.
Yup. The menu music kind of sucks and there's nothing in the entire campaign that compares to this:

I actually loved the music, particularly in Act 3.
Then again, I didn't think anything in Gears of War 2 and 3 stood up to the original.

The music at the beginning of the last chapter of Act 4 is really the only music that stood out to me. Quite disappointing overall indeed.
if you get grenade tagged you were dead anyways, I solely do it as a disrespect to my opponents who are blind to me coming up from behind
also, tip for insane
getting charged? You'll probably never have a gnasher on you due to the lethality of longshot+lancer and how scary close range fights are- what you want to do is take out your boltok and spam blind fire- it still only takes a few shots to shred your charging foe. It's basically the only way you can save yourself, until middle of act 3 I was either praying I got a blindfire longshot headshot or that the AI got targeted instead.

I'm assuming he means tagging to walls and such
I've never seen anyone complain about actually tagging the person. If you let them get that close, like you said, you were dead anyway.
ohh
...that's killed me once I think, lol
Grenade tagging is a godsend and grenades are a semi-power weapon. People just forget that grenades are OP and end up hating them, even though plenty of the other weps are OP too. It's why KD in gears is a meh stat unless you're crazy at clutching stuff- a lot of that number relies and your ability to use power weapons effectively. IE- my 2.3kd in gears 3 was only a 1.4 with the gnasher, it's offset heavily by 20+ killstreaks in tdm with power weapons as a primary source of those.

Is there a list of the MP weapons?

So here's a thought:
I wonder if they couldn't just do cross-platform competitive multiplayer and just have it be that PC players grade much higher due to using KBM?
I'm just not sure why integrating KBM players with controller players is any more imbalanced than integrating controller players of differing skill levels.
they could just open a social playlist with crossplay and thats it, ranked and such should be still be platform specific

No. Only digital gets you both.
Dang lame, I guess I'll get it from dave and busters then sell it and use the money to buy a digital copy.

Can you rejoin a horde match that you got kicked out of?
First act was pretty mediocre after a rather neat prologue. I just
though and things have already begun to pick up considerably.
I just think the DeeBees are not fun to fight at all, but appreciate that the game is taking it's time introducing the swarm.

You can see tagged grenades with LB. That and don't get fooled by obvious traps. Especially not if they've already killed with planted grenades in the same round.

I got some kind of purple legendary torque skin from my first card pack I opened. Is that a good thing? I can't remember the name.

The upgrade for amount of credits earned per game is still painfully low. It would take around 50 games to unlock one of those customization packs, depending on which game types you're playing and how many wins vs losses.

2 whole chapters wasted on the deebees. God they are fucking awful. So glad chapter 3 changed it up. Note to anyone reading fromt he coalition: the deebees are shit and suck dicks and please never let them in a gears game again
i hope they return to gears 5 just to piss you off

Agreed. The AI is very good, I've been downed and have seen an enemy make a beeline towards me and finish the job. It was impressive to watch. Played co-op on hardcore btw.

Haha, good luck every getting out of a frag's radius. You need to react to the bounce of a frag to be safe, not the beep. And half the time, I've noticed the frags flat out don't make a sound when they hit the ground, just like in the beta.
Tagging walls is stupid though, I agree. I love meatshield tags and just running up to someone whose head is in cloud cuckoo land and smacking a frag onto their face. That's timeless hilarity that only Gears provides.
Ditto. You can actually punish melee spammers really hard in Gears 4, which is completely unlike how it was in Gears Ultimate.
It might be a little too good. Especially on maps like Gridlock, which I've seen become a hammerburst campfest on modes like TDM and Warzone. But I'm not a weapon balancer; I just think the "three burst to down, and the active boosts the fire rate" thing was a mistake.
Go to customization to equip it.
this is the best horde ever and the classes and abilities just give it even more deep
Feels like a mess of noise, stupid difficulty and enemies with homing beacon accuracy. The big bosses are just annoying

Three social matches in a row now I'm getting horrible lag spikes.
Are the servers chugging or is it me? I've been running speed tests and I'm hovering around 30 down and 12 up for my slowest speeds of all the time I checked. Not sure what's up but it's super annoying.

Can only deploy one turret.

Finished it. Only real gripe with it is the Soundtrack. Sounded so dull and fake compared to the trilogy.
