Did the buff the Lancer damage for this game?

I don't remember being able to down anyone with the Lancer in gears 1 back in the day but it's pretty decent now.

I fucking hate the gnasherror.

Gears 1 had an update to buff lancer damage, would think this version is using that weapon balance but it's hard to tell.
 
This is just really hard to get back into after Gears 3 I wish they'd done more to make it play like that one. Oh well at least Gears 3 will be backwards compatible I guess so I can just play that.
 
Just saying if the game was gears 3 mp instead of a faithful adaptation of shotgun city gears 1 I would have raged. I always wanted to see gears one without the lagstorm off/God-tier on host advantage

Active reloads were a relatively new idea back then. It was one of the "word of mouth" things people mentioned when talking about the game.

People are going to complain about everything eventually. Active downs were part of Gears 1 and therefore I believe they should stay in the game.

It does suck getting downed by a Sniper, but so does getting your head blown off from what seems like miles away due to a shotgun shot.

The intensity and huge skill gap are what made me and judging by a few posters in this thread love Gears of War.

I love that Gears has a big skill gap. I love shot gun battles. But it's hard to have a good battle when someone one or two shot downs you from the back or so fast you can't react to it. Strafing used to be enough with a little bit of wall bouncing. Now, strafing is almost useless. You basically have to wall bounce now all the time, even with a simple 1 v 1.That's how strong it is. The only way to have any battle is if both players miss. There is no tension, fun, or skill when two people are blasting at each other, missing like crazy, hoping and praying for that ONE kill shot. It's better when you know you are gradually dealing and taking damage. That's what gets the blood and adrenaline pumping. That's what builds tension. That's what makes Gears, Gears and what makes it fun. Getting one shot downed from a distance by a weapon that has no business being that powerful from, puts a bad taste in my mouth. Hell fucking no

I went back to Gears 1 often over the years. It takes a bit of time to get the muscle memory and your rhythm back.

I'd say stick with it, if the beta is an indication of the full games quality I think we're all in for a treat.
 
Yep, I still suck at Gears confirmed. My head exploded, as did my locust body staining the floor, the wall absolutely everywhere.

Are clips and screenshots disabled for the beta? I could not get them working
 
Watching Twitch streams of this makes me miss Gears so much; it's been 2+ years since I played Gears 3. Game looks like so much fun.

Praying Gears somehow comes to PC with Windows 10 D:

Playing this game makes me hope they put gears 3 on BC soon since the disk is sitting on my shelf. I hope they figure out a way to get legacy dlc onto the xbox one as well.

Real talk, I'll probably buy Gears 3 again when they put it up on BC. I think I enjoyed that MP the most.

I kinda agree with you. I think I might be so used to Gears 3 that the whole getting instantly wrecked by the shotty isnt natural to me yet. It's pretty much the same shotgun from Gears 1, minis the spread adjustment. At least it feels that way. I've only played a handful of matches so it's still not clear yet.

One thing is for damn sure, I'll take everything we're talking about now over having one guy running around with host shotgun and destroying everyone.
 
So how do I redownload the access code or whatever? I entered the code via my smartphone but for some reason the not authorized to play is coming up. I also tried to redeem it again but said already used.

Edit: And rebooted too. Still same screen. :/ darn it!

should be in your messages.

if you downloaded the game, it should be manageable and the game and access code should both be under there

This game is good but they just had to put some level of bullshit in it to piss us off. It's a Gears tradition, or rather, a curse.
Click to expand...

It's a remake, this is leagues better than the original . You played it right? Greatest host advantage ever, one active sniper down, epic boom shot splash on active. This is it but refined, but make no mistake there is now and back then a certain frustration in the game.

Yeah I redeemed the code in my messages and tried to re-redeem and no luck. Under manageable I only see one item. So weird.
 
zychi said:
did you do both codes? you need 2 to get through the authorization
Click to expand...

Yep did both. First one doesn't come up with any screen when redeeming and second one says code used. Downloaded this client but don't see the second item in my managing game area.

Edit: just came up maybe it has to talk to each other. was blank before!

Thank you for your help.
 
Shotgun feels off. Like I just literally missed a shot point blank, active reloaded and aimed, and nothing... dude just blew my head off.

in a 3rd person shooter you would presume the bullets are spawning at the tip of the gun and then shooting off, instead in this version of gears the bullets spawn where the crosshair it like a first person game.

This ruins very close shotgun battles because even though your character is in their face you are really shooting over them.
Click to expand...

ah, yeah. i always found this annoying 9 years ago, especially when not using ADS. the shotgun pellets land at the most random angles.

in fact an hour with this reminds me why i stopped playing and moved back to first person games, random aiming and shitty netcode sent me raging tonight. oh and the graphics are 1st gen xbox 360 standard but @ 60fps with tearing. seriously. it looks this bad but it tears. whoever ported it needs shooting.
 
25 minutes and we have 7/8 in the lobby.. 3 leave.

Man it felt weird playing at 60. Kinda like MCC for the first time. Took some adjustment. God the shotgun still needs nerfing, or the Lancer needs buffing.
 
God I got back into this easily, only have done 4 matches and the first two was kinda rough but the later two I felt BACK I ended up going 16/5 in the last match I played, everyone tries to use the shotgun so much but few are good with it and I am amazing with the chainsaw and torqe bow >:D
 
Could really use some help if anyone has any ideas...

So I got the first code. Redeemed it on my Xbox. Nothing shows up in Games & Apps to download. Nothing in queue. Nothing at all. I do a hard reset. Nothing. I wait a couple hours. Nothing.

I read on another forum that if you are doing game sharing, the beta will show up on your "home" xbox (aka your friend's xbox and not yours).... and that I'm SOL. Is this true? If so this is not how every single other game for Xbox works....

Anything I can do?
 
just realised that after each round the power weapons are not rotating, wasn't that added in a patch to stop consistent power weapon rushes?
