Siroc posted:Finally got into a decent group and went from 47-57 in about 4 KOTH rounds. I'd probably be 60 if a dick didn't kill all of us to end the match in two rounds. Watch out at the end of rounds for killers. I'm 71 at the moment. Sorry to whoever invited me last night, that was literally right after everyone was killed and I just had enough for the night. I'll be on most of today though trying to knock these wings out.

Ah Pook posted:How do you get to level 100 without at least a familiarity with the shotgun? Have you practiced with it at all since TU6? At least now you don't have to play the lag guessing game with your shots like you used to. I haven't played Gears since the 8x EXP bonus and I was just boosting then too. I'm not trying to become pro or anything at Gears, but it's annoying when the whole match devolves into everyone using shotguns.

What, exactly, is the point of XP in Gears anyway? Does anything get unlocked, other than arbitrary achievements?

There are those on the official forums dedicated to removing stopping power from the game because it makes the lancers "too powerful" and turns the game into a campfest.

Kifisonfire posted:That's like 2 matches of boosting (Assuming they do it right). Just join a random social KOTH and start swinging your smoke so people know you aren't a bot. Aha, but i still dont really know how to do it, am i just supposed to interfere after they captured something?

Kifisonfire posted:Pretty much. One team will cap the point, the other breaks it then steps out again, repeat. Just have your shotgun out for the third round, it tends to turn into a clusterfuck at the end. I only get bot-games when i search for social games. Feels like im doing something wrong.

Alteisen posted:I have you on my list already and I'm rather curious as to what you can teach. Well, for example shooting over cover at someone else taking cover on the other side is not intuitive at all. It's not really a "trick", but there are certain positioning and aiming circumstances that you should know.

I can help fill spots if need be if you'd still like to boost. I really hope that Gears 3 has a button that lets you switch the hand you're holding your gun with and thus the camera angle. A lot of the time it would have helped to have the camera over the character's left shoulder but the only way that's feasible is when you're in cover. It proved useful in Army of Two and the same would go for Gears.

Well, after having host quit 6 matches in a row and not getting XP, I finally got my Wings without boosting. Now I can just put this game on the shelf and be done with it. I hate the last patch.

I played a couple great games with Goons last night and it was fun just talking with each other and utterly dominating. The shotgun still drives me up the loving wall though. Countless times I've been downed at range by a shotgun because it'll do more damage to me than I can do to others with the Hammerburst. The shotgun is better at range than an assault rifle.  Still up to play though.

Countless times I've been downed at range by a shotgun because it'll do more damage to me than I can do to others with the Hammerburst. Yeeeah that's something that everyone actually complains about now. At first, the community wanted the shotgun to be stronger and better, and now that it has better hit consistency and instant spread-reduction during aim (used to take a full second for the tight spread to kick in), It has become a very deadly mid-range weapon that people complain about. I don't think it would hurt my feelings if they either widened the spread or nerfed the damage past 10 feet. In other news, an hour long video of the Gears of War 3 panel at Comic-con featuring Rod, Cliff, Karen Traviss, Carlos (Dom), Lester (Cole), Michael (Carmine), and others. There's a really funny live action video about 36 minutes in where a Carmine tries to buy life insurance. Mostly talking about the franchise as a whole, with their books, figures, and comics coming out, and taking guest questions.

Just finished up the Gears 2 campaign and really quite enjoyed it. There's a noticeable dip in quality/creativity about 2/3 of the way in, but I felt it picked up nicely towards the end. One question though, what the gently caress is Imulsion? I only played a few hours of the first game (I will eventually go back to it) so forgive me if it's answered there.

I know people say this, but in my experience, it just isn't true for me. If I had a gamebridge or a way to record at all, I swear I would. I can walk up behind someone, hold LT, and shoot them point blank 3 times, then they just turn around and one shot me. Then, on Fuel Station for example, I'll be Hammerbursting from the top of the stairs and some joker will switch from his Lancer to the Gnasher and shoot once and down me while he's at the bottom of the stairs when I'm missing no health. I must just have terrible luck or something. I've been playing since Gears 1 released and I was actually pretty happy with where the shotgun was at (and the added stopping power in Gears 2 was great as well). But no, Epic has to listen to all the whiners on their forums who complain about using assault rifles in a cover-based game.

Yep, imulsion was a cheap energy source that the human race was waring over (In the pendulum wars) before the locust struck. It powers the hammer of dawn and the lightmass bomb from the first game. Prolonged exposure to humans develops a sickness called rustlung and prolonged exposure to locusts and similar beasts causes them to mutate into lambent, giving them explosive properties.

Imulsion, aka "all that juice". If you leave Gears 1 on the start screen for a while, you get a video that explains the Pendulum Wars as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTej6r_miYg Another long video of Beast Mode. Near the middle of the video, it looks like the auto-aim on melee might have been toned down. The Grenadier seems to only connect when facing right at him. The barbed wire blocking off some walls seems to be passable, but deals damage and slows you to a crawl (dodge rolling through it looks like bullet time) if you don't destroy it.

The Crusher posted:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTej6r_miYg This is the 3rd beast mode vid I've seen today and they all have horrible butt rock spliced in, why do people do this? Hell someone's actually trying to talk in this one. Also I'm glad that the issue of violence toward the women in the Gears universe seems have been resolved, as I just saw a grenadier rip Anya's arm off and beat her to death with it. Obviously I don't condone violence toward women but war is hell after all and it would have been even more sexist to not include them, quite frankly I don't even understand why some people brought it up. Also they aren't auto-healing in that video. Alteisen fucked around with this message at Jul 27, 2010 around 00:12 |

They revealed this in the game informer that had Gears 3 on the cover a few months back, from the sounds of things you switch between different people with Marcus and Dom being the only ones that stay, like you start with Jace and Anya, then it might be Sam and Anya, then Cole and Baird, poo poo like that. I'm interested in the PvP right now, especially that new shotgun.

In that SDCC panel video i posted earlier, Cliff describes the sawed off gun saying "If you're close range and someone is within your 180 degree frontal view, you will see red mist.". Rod also explains its a gun for those, like himself, who are not as skilled with the gnasher up close and is balanced by having only one bullet per shot and a slow slow reload. So basically, it's easy to get kills with, provided you can get up close and shoot, but it probably wouldn't save you in a 3v1 like the gnasher would.
