People don't like to play around anything but the Gnasher so they cry about the sawed-off and chainsaws lol. I'm a heavy Gnasher user but I can feel the other weapon users too. Check your corners rookies.

touching the wall is a barrel shot? it wasn't like that in gears UE beta last month when I tested it out. my image of shooting a wall point blank from hip posted earlier but then in the original game it never did a barrel shot when you stand against a wall like that, only if you took cover and were on the wall itself.

Just finished the campaign. Sooooo good.
Reminds me how much better Gears 1 is than any other game in the series.

The minor things keep this from being great. The gnasher issues and some cover issues. Other than that, this is he best gears MP.

Not mixing up teams is a huge mistake.
Titanfall at launch didn't mix teams up and it was terrible. If a good team was randomly created they'd dominate all night and the opposing team had no choice but to quit.
Gears has such a high skill ceiling. Without mixing teams up it's only going to make quitting even more common.
The other day I was in a 4v2 in the lobby and had to wait several minutes for another player to join the other team. It would've been so much quicker if someone from my team could've been switched to the other team.
It also makes it a lot harder for a team of 3-4 players to find matches. If they could rebalance sides a 2v2 could be merged together and the team of 4 put in against them.

I dubbed him Dominic "I'm Down" Santiago by the end of the third chapter on Insane!
Gears 3 campaign is brilliant. A lot of fun and if you've read the books(which are actually all quite good) the story is even more enjoyable.
I can't wait for Gears 3 backwards compatibility, I want to replay Act 3 so badly, I have such fond memories of the opening of that act and the Berserker fight.

One thing I noticed about Gears Of War 1's campaign upon replaying it is that objectives that require you to defend a location never feel like they drag on too long. They can be pretty challenging, but you never really get tired or fed up during them. In the second and third games, those moments felt way too long, the most noteworthy example being the fuel station rooftop defense in Gears Of War 3. Fuck that chapter on insane.
Gears 1 is much better paced than I remember it being!

Me too. I really want to play some Horde and Beast.

Two glitches that are kinda annoying that I've encountered
1. Every once in a while, when you kill someone they'll drop the weapon on their back instead of the one in their hands. This sucks when they're holding a power weapon.
2. Fairly frequently you won't switch sides after a round. On Escalation you might spawn away from the snipers two times in a row.

This makes me happy to read - the Giant Bomb review score (2 stars) definitely gave me pause especially since, like Jeff, I'd only be in it for campaign and co-op. So I've been worried I remember the game more fondly than it actually plays these days.
Lambent enemies and their big glowy spots are the worst.
Fuck, i've been downloading this since saturday and it still has 50% to go on a 20mb connnection.
I didn't realise there was stuff downloading on my PS4 as well as Life is Strange on the Xbone so it's taking forever to play this.
With some luck it'll be ready tomorrow 😖

could they not make the centre/barrel aiming an option?
i just want some consistency. the game is frustrating as hell right now.
edit: I mean look at this. I couldn't be any closer if I tried but the bullets go BEHIND the guy.
In the FAQs posted they say not all maps are included in competitive.

Is anyone else experiencing lag? Whenever my roommate is using Apple TV it makes his game lag like hell. But only this game, other live games work fine. It really sucks
There's a whole act that's nothing but filler

sorry man but your shots ARE going into the center in that pic and they arent even really going behind him. the only time the shots will come from the barrel is when your barrel is right up on world geometry or a player and in this case it is not.
the shots went exactly where they should.

Warzone on Rooftops is so great cause of the dual hammer of dawns.
I still haven't even been on this map or Garden either.

They're going to the center but they're coming out of the barrel is what hes showing. The feller he's trying to kill is behind the actual barrel of his shotgun. In gears 1 that would have killed him.

The split group sections of the campaign are the worst part about the game. I hated them in 2006 and I still hate them now. Especially on insane.

i dont agree in his example. the dude looks crouched with the barrel above above him.
he would have had to aim lower and walk possibly closer to barrel him. i have confirmed this with a friend in a private match.
I have no idea what you are looking at, because what I'm looking at is no where near where the shot should be going. The shotgun is an absolute unreliable mess right now. It's completing killing the MP for me, which is the only reason I bought this in the first place. If they can't figure out a fix, game will fall to the wayside.
It's too bad, because the game could have been almost a perfect 1:1 with the original.

I remember I preferred Gears 2, but I did like the first one. While trying to play this though... I am not feeling this at all. I had to put it down after like an hour or two of playing. I rather this not mar my rose tinted glasses.

im really not trying to be difficult. i agree the shotgun has a problem but the shot is dead center in the screen above the crouching target. the barrel of the shotgun is not up against the player so the shots dont pass through him.
its being fixed as confirmed tonight by TC. they said it has a bug with spread and damage.

Sigh. Don't think I can do it anymore. The game was fun at first, but every single match seems to be extremely lopsided. I suck at the game; I admit that. But every match is one team being annihilated by the other and that rarely leads to fun.
I finished my customary hardcore run and jumped straight into insanity co-op. Aside from the pc levels, I was surprised at how much of the game I remembered even after all these years. While it's not my favorite of the campaigns, I love the more horror aspects of it, particularly after the bombastic later games. The theater in Comedy of Errors is a pain on insane, though.
One thing seemed strange to me in the last section of the game.
Gameplay-wise I get it since it's harder and they only had so many enemies in the first game, but lore-wise I'm confused.

On the train that the Locust are attacking because of the lightmass bomb, why are there lambent wretches with them?

Why do people hate the krill level?
I don't mind it at all... It's a bit odd how propane tanks just happen to be conveniently positioned throughout the level, but it's still fun.
On another note, some of the achievement at make great backgrounds... My dash has a beautiful big berserker in the background, she's a sexy girl!

The locust didn't know that the Imulsion was killing them and making them insane till like before 3 but after 2, 2 has a cutscene where something weird happens with an imulsion infected locust but it made no sense and was probably retconned like a lot from that game was
A real shame. I guess it'll get better once the initial influx of players dies down and the skill-ratings are better calibrated.
Agreed. Shot is 100% centre screen, muzzle is not being obstructed by anything so centre screen shot is what you'd expect. The muzzle flash is always there, it is not indicating the bullets are coming from the barrel.
Edit:
Not fun for anyone =/
I think another reason why Gears is so addictive for me is that even getting rekt is fun. It's so adrenaline pumping that I don't even care when I go 3-6 or something for a match and we get owned. It's just so exhilarating to get in there with the shotty or get that gib/headshot on that fucker that killed you last round.
It's just straight fun, I see a lot of people talk about it being disheartening to lose. Who gives a shit? It's all good shit, it's just motivation to get better. If my buddy and I are palying and we get stomped, we are just like "goddamn *LOL*" - they just outplayed us. In Gears, there are so many different ways a team can outplay another team.
My biggest gripe so far is that they have excluded some maps from the Execution playlist. I play Exe. exclusively and I don't get to see some of my favorite maps. Thank god they addressed this concern and said they plan to add more maps (they should just give them all to us) to the rotation.

*This game reminds me just how solid the original Gears campaign was. I had a wave of nostalgia when I finally met up with Cole, and then Baird, in Act 1. The game's focus on small-scale battles and horror-themed encounters is brilliant as well. I'm glad that Gears 4 seems to be following the same route.
*The graphics are very nice. Is it just me or was the discussion about dust effects overblown? Whenever I slide into cover I can see that dust gets kicked up near the cover/barrier... and there were huge discussions in the Digital Foundry thread, including side-by-side gif comparison, showing zero dust in Gears Ultimate and a ton of dust in the original 360 version.
*Performance is great, but playing in co-op there are occasional dips. Nothing game breaking, but noticeable.

same thing happened to me. 8-9 years is a long time. i think i died as many times on him as i did combined leading up to him.
I'm really feeling escalation should get the overpass ban in everything that isn't exe.

as long as the krill is on him he is invincible
I soloed on normal, replaying on insane
I used the torque bow, a few shots, then spammed grenades killed him in minutes, now this was after dying over and over
co op with my brother same thing
will use that method on insane
you need to get the bats off of him and grenade and the bow will do that and damage him. I tried long shot then gave up, as I was dying too much..
long shot and the bow combo then the long shot and lancer etc never worked
the glitch did not work where you can get raam stuck.. that is for a solo play
then I just did the bow and spammed grenades, it worked
