Video of new aiming system in action, up close game switches to barrel aiming. If your enemy is in the centre of screen, but your shotgun is clipping through the enemy player, you won't hit him.

Whoa, this is wild. I don't have the game yet, but they better fix that!

 

[Perfect Blue]

Fucking hell they didn't fix the weapon slide bug? Who thought that was a good idea?

I've only managed to do the lame version on Canals with the sniper. Is the better version in this one? The X+A one specifically

 

[-tetsuo-]

I don't understand why anyone likes the weapon slide. It significantly lowers the risk of picking up a power weapon.

Where can I find the old games for download?

 

[Allforce]

Do you get the downloads for Gears 1-2-3-J by just playing Ultimate online? I rented it from GameFly but didn't know if you guys who bought the game got codes inside the box to redeem for those BC titles.

 

[Steverulez]

Where can I find the old games for download?

They aren't released yet, BC goes live in November, they might hit preview before then but the official release for BC on Xbox One is November.

Are certain maps locked in in certain gamemodes. Been playing Execution all day and havent seen a bunch of maps. I really hope certain maps are blocked out from different gamemodes.

Asking again

 

[PeskyToaster]

I've seen forum posts on the gears forums linked from Google... apparently some people have received the code and a bunch haven't.

If you do end up getting yours update on here so I can also look.

What actually makes me angry is that Amazon reps have zero clue on what we're taking about or how to fix it.

He told me none of his coworkers play videogames and there isn't a dedicated gaming dept to speak with.

If you look at the product page now too they have dropped mention of the preorder character now that the game has released so i'm not even sure if he believed me in the first place.

No Amazon code. They give themselves a timeframe to deliver them but I don't know the specifics.

Been playing campaign on Insane. It's difficult but fun.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Its always been that way. Its not meant to charge straight in with, but rather a surprise attack from a corner or from behind. In fact I get a lot of chainsaw kills, at times 2 or 3 in a row. The stun is to remove unskilled users from running straight sponging bullets for a one hit kill.

I still feel the stun is far too long. I understand the complaints of just holding B in a encounter and magically getting a kill. But as I said when I can get barely grazed left alone and then finished off it just feels off to me.

Really I wouldn't be complaining if they at least left it alone for the SP. playing on normal and barely being able to chainsaw stuff is pretty sad.

Ya that thing was a full on Dyson power vac with how far it'd suck you into it.

No I remember. It was mostly just chainsaw glitch

No in the original gears as the top quote says, it was quite powerful. Which is what lead to the complaints and the downgrade of it over the course of the series. It's been awhile, but to be fair the chainsaw has become a weaker and weaker weapon as the series went on.

Huh? Give me the reasoning for this I don't get it


And lol you guys must have sucked or don't remember correctly when the chainsaw in gears 2 was far superior to any chainsaw in the gears.

Gears 2 chainsaws were insane especially since the lag would just act as a buffer for people who's revved up

No Skorge, onyx guard or Valera.. Lame

:Kreygasm. Time to level up.

Anyone have any tips for shotgun battles? I'm having lot of trouble maneuvering quickly like everyone else online.

armored kantus, Myrrah, and the young version of Dom, Marcus, Cole, and Baird are missing too

put a dot on the middle of your tv screen and when the dot is on your enemy shoot.


on the real though idk i usually try to get them to the middle of my screen before i start firing off crazy and if they miss their shot i try to hit them then shoot since it stuns em

Don't aim. Keep moving side to side and favour the right. Notice when enemies move to the left of you it's easier to get disorientation as your character is on the left side, its hard to explain but always favour the right a little more than the left

This looks so good. Time to start saving for an xbox one.

 

[nOoblet16]

It's disappointing to not have rain in Bulletmarsh and Mansion...like no rain at all ! Even Gears 3's version of Bulletmarsh had rain.
I wonder if Subway is similarly affected.

I knew something was off about Subway. The level looked so bland. Now I remember because it's not pouring rain, hearing the puddle steps, seeing the lighting flash in the skybox.

So disappointing. Xbox One truly is a piece of shit. Every game has to suffer because of their decision to use such a weak gpu. I mean H2A couldn't even hit full 1080p/60fps like the rest either. Stuck on some weird 1366x1920 resolution.

Have yet to play Bullet Marsh but without rain just going to feel weird. UE may look shiny and new but it's lost a lot of it's ambience.

 

[king grimlock]

I'm 99% sure that some of the models of the dead COG soldiers are the onyx guard models so they should be in

As for the others, RAAM>>>>>>>Sports bra
Valera is alright but she would probably be lower if she was in.

I think the game is running the 9yr old version of UE3.

Halo 2 was 1080 in multiplayer just not in campaign due to running both engines at the same time.

Cole Train and Thrashball drone is all I'm using as of now. Loved using them in Gears 3.

Can't complain about ranked exe and TDM right now

 

[Friction]

Some of the good MP improvements I've noticed:

- Shotgun, booms and snipes are a lot more consistent.
- Dedicated servers are a dream. Lag and host advantage has been an huge issue for gears. This change alone is worth the purchase.
- Best news. Private matches are on dedi as well.
- LAN games are possible (tried it).

 

[blue_phazon]

Thanks for the tips!

Now I just need to learn how to dodge around like crazy

 

[D4Danger]

did they fix the footstep sounds from the beta? every video I've found has the sound muted and someone gabbing over the top.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

So nice to finally get to play the lost section without it running like shit. It was so optimized on PC that it ran like shit. The game would run smooth till that section of the game then it would stutter like hell. Playing it on this version it's nice and smooth and fun as hell. It really adds to the game. The original just had this weird gap and it fills that in perfectly.

so what's causing no damage for the first shots?

 

[jailbird20022]

We also discovered the melee range for the gnasher is about the size of marcus standing in between the two of us, tad shorter and there's also a chance for said melee to either push you farther away or pull you closer...

so what's causing no damage for the first shots?

Haven't the slightest idea, shot reg seems more consistent if you stare at their shins apparently.

Think my favorite discovery was that there are two distinct pellet patterns for the gnasher, one is diamond shaped and the other is more of an "X" with one or two pellets surrounding the sides.

 

[Madness]

When you have a team with all of you having headsets, makes such a huge difference. Last few matches have reminded me of the 06 days when everyone would be micced up, much better teamwork.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Really loving this game so far. Gears has always been my favorite series and the multiplayer has been running perfect for me. But damn is that part where you first meet the tourqe bow in the campaign is hard on hardcore :/ been stuck on it for hours.

just realized that Dom got the Maria angel tattoo on his arm..... he didnt get it tatted till Gears 3 lol

You guys/gals were awesome. Gears 1 is still the GOAT in terms of MP, there is nothing quite like it in terms of how fast and hectic everything feels in general even when it was 30FPS back when it was on 360.

He's always had the tattoo. He added an angel in gears 3


It would be impossible to see the angel since his armor
