September 20th. Who's getting it? Got mine pre-ordered. Epic Edition of course.

Horde 2.0 video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msEjghafZ3U)Which looks awesome, I'm really excited to play that the most

and hopefully they fix the glitch that was on Jimmy Fallon a few weeks back before the game releases.:lol

Got mine pre ordered and I'm as excited as a little girl at a Beiber concert for the new horde mode. It's all I played online with Gears 2. I never liked Gears for competitive gaming, so horde was a godsend.

After the 4th title update it got better i've read. I wouldn't know though. Right when I picked it up the 4th title update came out.

We should do a ISH Horde group. Hopefully it goes better than our ISH firefight group:oldlol:

GEARS :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Hopefully i can get pro in MLG for this game.

You're a Gears fan too? I think you're my long lost brother.

On a related note, I was straight up raping kids in the Gears 3 beta. I went 25-0 in a match one time. And I pulled a 7v1 clutch in another match. Nobody can **** with me and my Gnasher.

Heavincent
08-02-2011, 10:13 PM
If the shotgun is anything like it was in Gears 1, i'll destroy everyone. I had the best shotgun in gears 1 never lost a 1v1.

Gears 3 beta was :rockon: but that sawed off shotgun is so annoying. :mad:

I already got a team set up for gears 3, gonna make some money off beating some ass.

:pimp:

You don't want to see me and my shotgun, i'm a straight out monster with it.

Unfortunately a lot of my buddies just play COD, but I've got a friend that is pretty legit at Gears and we rape in Wingman.

I'm mostly a gnasher guy myself, but I really dig the Retro Lancer.

Also, there's nothing more annoying than kill-stealers. I wanna do the cool arm rip execution, but then some flaming homosexual steals my kill right before I'm about to do the execution. Shit made me rage.

Heavincent
08-02-2011, 10:52 PM
Yeah, that's why i don't do the executions all the time because of kill-stealers, they do that because they want to rank up quickly in a beta. :oldlol:

What's your GT so i can hit you up when Gears comes out.

If you wanna know mine someone took a pic of it in the NBA2K11 MY-PLAYER THREAD.

:facepalm

Diamondz I assume? I'll hit you up when my Xbox Live is up and running again. Something is wrong with my wireless adapter I think.

That was hilarious there was 6 of us itching to play. My internet lagged me out. And then NONE of us ever played with each other.:roll:


But I'm always in the mood for Gears, if you or anyone else needs achievements in the first two I'll be more than glad to help

Gold Gnasher Shotgun, for everyone who reached 100, on gears 2 and won on all the snowblind maps (http://www.examiner.com/console-gaming-in-national/epic-announces-gold-gnasher-unlock-for-gears-3-gears-2-xp-events-until-launch)

Pretty cool. Somehow only 2% has that achievement according to that site. Weird.


And gold sawed off if you beat the first campaign on insane. Looks like I'm gonna have to do that.

GTTV brings you the first look anywhere of Gears of War 3's second act, and with that, a surprise reveal of an old adversary's return."

It can't be RAAM. Marcus and Dom shot him to death on the train. I'm pretty sure imulsion doesn't bring the dead back to life. Maybe it's about a RAAM MP skin though.

He's the only guy that makes sense to me. I mean I suppose Skorge could be alive even though he should have died when you shot down his reaver.

RAAM's already confirmed for MP though, has been for awhile. ALL the unlocks from previous gears games are unlocked in this game. Gold Lancers/hammerburts/ and characters.


It really could be Niles though. Not a lot of people kick around the theory that he created the Locust. I do, so I think it could be a "Surprising" return for him.

The first one is pretty hard. You'll probably want a friend to help you out. The second one even on insanity is easy as pie. I think you can get both of them with all the maps for like 30 bucks now.

Yeah the epic edition, and even the limited are both pretty solid packages

First Gears is the bomb. I got up to the end on insane, but can't kill the boss. It was more darker than the second gears. Still one of my favourite game of all time.

Second was good, ut the mulitplayer was focked.

Looking forward to the third installment. Getting the limited edition..

I really want it but I couldn't pass up this deal on a PS3 on craigslist. I got a 160gb PS3 Slim with the latest Assassins Creed and three other games for 110 barely used before the price drop. I had already had two 360's so I thought it would be time to get a ps3 but I'm finding that I much prefer xbox live to psn and that I'm really lamenting not being able to get Gears 3...

I got my gears controller today, holy ****. this thing is NICE.

Unlike the Halo ones that the top feels weird, this has a layer of something over it. that makes it feel perfect, the design and feel of it is amazing. and I hate skull things generally. But this looks good, and it has the new d-pad for you guys who had "problems" with the original one. I HIGHLY recommend it.

my ONLY minor complaint is...I wish they would have switched out the green LED for a red one. That would have been boss.

So basically it's inferior to GoW 1; I'll pass. Not a fan of GOW or Halo but I enjoyed combat evolved and the first gears. The sequels, were not overly innovative. I'll just buy U3 and ME3 for 2011.

There are dedicated servers this time around, that will at least remove the "host advantage" the previous games had.

This one played more lancer based so that should help you.

What I did in the beta was used either lancer and the sawed off shotgun for close range, had some huge games doing that. Basically just chill out and learn how people play it, and develop counter strategies like a normal game. About 85% of the gears pop. plays the same.

Got my copy about 14 hours ago and spent a few hours playing multiplayer today... Gotta say, it's kind of a shame that the lancer/hammerburst are so prominent now days. Seems like everywhere you run you're getting assault rifled. Guess that's their way of phasing out the shotty's dominance which means i'll have to get used to playing differently:banghead:

Other than that.. Tops game!:bowdown:

I absolutely love multiplayer on this game!

I was dubious before I bought the game, didn't think I'd like third person shooting much, but I've adapted to this game pretty quickly, and I've really enjoyed the few matches I've played, and I've put up some decent scores. To be fair, been matched up against other newer players too, but I've been kicking their asses, so I'm doing ok for a complete Gears noob up until a few hours ago!

Not got very far in the campaign, will probably work on it a bit more tomorrow.

Rose
09-20-2011, 11:40 PM
Oh also, what rifle/shotty combo are you using?

Im using the lancer, and the sawed-off. But I think the regular lancer is actually the worst rifle for multiplayer. Or it seemed that way. the Hammerburst's scope comes in handy, and it's almost as easy as the lancer itself to use. And the Retro Lancer packs a nice punch, and once you get the burst down it's not too bad.

Also, I hate the sniper. It's not as easy as the gears 2 one.:lol

I don't mind trenches. When I first played online on it, I didn't know where everyone was, then I realized there's a new trench they added.they never had it on the beta.

Graphics are great. I'd never played a third person shooter before, so I thought it would take me ages to adjust from FPS to third person, but I was able to pick it up pretty quickly. I got used to the controls playing the single player before I hopped online.

I think Anya might be my second favorite character in the game right behind Clay Carmine. Marcus was awesome too. I loved it when he went ape shit on that Griffin guy (Ice-T).

Made it to wave 27 or so of Horde yesterday. felt good. Shit got hard fast again though. And some guy was cussing someone out for bringing the lambent berserker to him.:roll:

Also, gonna finish campaign today.

Anyone getting the season pass, or already have it?

Just finished the campaign. Good ending. I wanted everyone to die, but that works too I guess.:lol

If the game played as well in Acts 2 and 4 as it did in 1,3, and 5....It would have been my favorite shooter campaign ever. But man, Act 4 sucked. and 2 was boring as ****.

I liked Act 2. We finally got to fight a Brumak on foot with standard weaponry and fighting all of those corpsers was pretty cool.

Act 4 was okay I guess. I'd definitely say it was the weakest part of the campaign, but it was still fun. The only memorable part about it was probably dealing with Griffin (Ice-T).

But Act 3 is the best Act in the entire Gears series.

The Brumak was the only cool part in my opinion. I thought the Corpsers were too easy.

I like Act 5 more, just because it was the perfect way to go out, shock and awe all around, battle after battle with no boring walk time in between(aside from cutscenes, and the occasional dialogue) Act 5 basically had everything I wanted the end of Gears to be.

I was expecting Ice-T to have a bigger role in the game, but he didn't. Kinda disappointed with that. and I wasn't particularly fond of what they did with Carmine.

Overall, I'm giving the campaign an 8 out of 10.

Multiplayer-8.5/10 (just doesnt have that same gears 2 magic to me yet)

Horde 2.0-10/10 Holy Marcus Fenix is that great now.

Beast mode-I'm VERY disappointed in just because of how short it is. so 4/10. I really don't think it has any replay value

Really? Gears 2 had fun MP but it was still kind of a laggy mess. There was a LOT of BS in that game. Gears 3 is far superior in my opinion. Minimal lag, more balanced weapons, better maps, better matchmaking, and TDM.

Overall, I think Gears 3 blows Gears 1 and 2 out of the water.

I think Blood drive, Memorial, Jacinto, Fuel Station, are all better than every map on gears 3 aside from Old Town, although Trenches is good now that I've gotten better at it now. And two of the maps I named are basic maps. While there were flaws, they made the game. I mean I haven't lagged, although getting matches takes forever at times.

I'll give it some more time, but I think the multiplayer was better. Just if you didn't know how to use the shotgun you were...****ed.

Almost finished the campaign. Still like the first gears better... Online for gears is probably since it has more weapons.

Still gears is number 1 in my heart.

Digging the updates to Horde mode, i've spent most of my time playing that. Made it up to level 29, but people always end up leaving, so I normally only get in the 20's before it becomes too much.

Did the first chapter of the story mode on co-op, will probably play more tonight.

Rose

Whoever came up with the idea of putting the sawed off shotgun in gears, should get slapped. That f*cking gun has to be the most annoying shit ever, it lets people that suck at the game, get kills, SMH. Ranked is full of sawed off whores. One of the reasons Gears 1 is still the best by far.

BLOOD DRIVE!!!


The one thing I hate about playing on Blood drive though, is I haven't had a match yet where in horde most people don't quit out after like level 12. I get that it actually gets challenging again at 14 or so. but still!

I played Horde on Blood Drive and died on wave 39. We had all 5 guys for the first 30 waves (just randoms), and then one guy quit out.

I'm mad.

For some reason people are quitting out of horde now in the 20s I've noticed. Like I had a group today that made it to 27 or so. relatively easily. We didn't have a death on our team till wave 17. And we were cruising. We hit 20 in probably a bit over an hour. hour and a half tops. Lost one guy at 25. Lost two at 27. I was like wtf? then we died. Then had the same thing happen in two other games.:facepalm

Im so hot and cold in gears. It is my main shooter game but when im on , im unstoppable. But there are times when I shoot some one 3 times they get me once I drop. So there are games where i have 2 deaths 12 kills and games where i have 6 deaths 1 kill. Ugh. Love the game tho.

Personally I think RAAM's Shadow DLC is better than most chapters of the game:oldlol:

It had that real Gears feeling to it, that I didn't get when playing the campaign. I hope they do some more chapters to the game.

Is it worth 1200 points? How long does it take to finish?

I think I'm over the mulitplayer.. can't get into it. It's a shame since all the maps are good..

I bought the season pass. At 1200, depends on how much you like gears really. It's about a 90 minute or so thing. Maybe a bit longer or shorter. I played it on normal. It's fun being RAAM, i just ****ed up the finger technique because I'd let go of the trigger:oldlol: And I was like why the **** is this guy so badass if the kryll take forever to actually kill someone else.

I can't get into multiplayer either. Too easy generally. Horde is still amazing.

Fenix Rising with new ranking system dropped today (http://epicgames.com/community/2012/01/fenix-rising-map-pack-featuring-new-experience-system-launches-today/)

And I'm pissed because Thrashball Cole was released and Savage Kantus. I have no problem with Savage Kantus(amazon pre-order) being released to the masses as long as the Biker Baird or whatever he's called is as well. But the Thrashball Cole was supposed to be exclusive to just the Gears 3 members that did the 100 kills with the gold retro lancer in the beta. That's bull shit.
