Urgh... lately I've been getting heaps of problems with trying to join private games and getting a failure to connect to the host.

It might have something to do with your nat settings not being open. That's all I can think of.

Your bones don't break, mine do. But for some reason, you and I react the exact same way to sacks. We hit too fast, we choke. We get some in our head, we drown. However unreal it may seem, we are connected, you and I. We're on the same curve, just on opposite ends. They called me

Alteisan, Adregan, and I are doing Insance Arcade right now. If a fourth wants to jump in, we're open to it!

I think it would have been really cool if it was just TDM Wingman. 4/5 groups of 2, each with 15 respawns.

It would be like Army of 2 online

Anyone interested in horse tonight? I can't seem to find a public group that will go the distance(shocking). I'm free after 9pm central.

Or I'll play arcade if anyone would rather get help with that.

Turns out that Drydock is a pretty great Horde map. If you defend the East side there's only really three approaches and plenty of covered areas to keep safe from Gunkers or play chasey with Berzerkers.

Edit: goddamn quick play in KOTH sucked, today. No spawning or technical issues, but just poo poo like joining a game of two low-level folks playing splitscreen against a team of level 100/high-nineties. I realise quick play is just to get everyone to get a game and stuff but at least make some sort of attempt to balance it. Even if a party has to be split between sides or something like that.

I usually gauge the days matches by the first one, first one went so well, nice and competitive, did well, then everything just went to poo poo, from wall bouncing bullet eaters to quite possible the worst connection I've ever seen privy to.

And I can't believe I have almost 500 gnasher kills, I don't even like the gun.

Shocking. Whenever I play I get morons. I pretty much refrain from buying anything now. I can't tell you the amount of times I build a command center and some rear end presses the button before enemies get on the map. I seriously played a game and had 15k in my pocket not buying anything (host ragequit soon after)

But I've gone over how terrible pubbies are before.

I especially like the pubbies that wait till they can buy a silverback, hog all the kills then never buy anything.

I'm the same way. But I buy the Silverback so I can work on that upgrade. I guess I could work on sentry's or decoys....

I loving hate that. But you're right, I can only use the command center when playing with all friends who know to save it for when it's needed.

12 days of Gearsmas announced along with the events. Seems like a re-tread of everything they've done so far outside of the horde ones, fortifications for free sounds kind of neat.

I'm actually OK with that, since I need a few of those events. I wonder if it will count for ones we've already played before.

It looks like there will be three event medals given out over the course of the 12 days, as opposed to a medal for every day.

Nope, he's just selectable if you unlocked him with the Facebook code.

Epic should do a playlist where you spawn with a HOD and frags, and every spawn is a Mortar, just to get poo poo exploding all over the place.

Also, I never noticed the huge wall of dust that approached on Trenches from the south when the horns blow. And holy poo poo it looks awesome.

Raam's Shadow DLC is up but it's currently bugged and will try to charge you even if you have the season pass. A friend of mine already accidently bought it.

That used to be me, until I learned that passing out wads of cash keeps everyone happy and when they spend it on maintaining fortifications it benefits everyone.

They seem to be working on it. First start of Gearsmas is going on so hop on and get your war supporter medal. I assume they will have the DLC fixed before to long. I might be home early tonight and Might be on so if you have the DLC and see me on hit me up and we can do achievements!

Are the new gun skins permanent? They don't have the same type of icons as the others do. Just generic Gears 3 icons.

Don't think so, I believe one of the other events (Halloween) had an orange skin that you didn't keep.

I'm also not getting free fortifications.

If you are trying in private it doesn't seem to work, I tried earlier. I will try later in a public game.

Playing RAAM's Shadow now, it's pretty intense, although the parts where you play as RAAM are kinda boring.

Also Tai's pseudo mystic spiritual take on all things, however mundane gets old pretty fast.

That said, it's awesome but it looks to be on the shortish side. Not sure if it's worth $15. It does seem a little more difficult than the standard campaign and some of the combat areas area pretty well thought out and cool.

I was trying Private, the only thinks that were free were extra Command Posts and the first upgrade for the Decoys (after initially buying them). It's all sorts of hosed up.

4 players I believe. RAAM has 3 escort guards, one of which has a SOS with a bayonet. Think the other two have boomshields but I'm not sure what else.

This has made me pull the trigger on the season pass though.
