Gears of War 3

[Heath Ledger]

Absolutely kicks fucking ass.

[IronMaxipad]

I hear the shotty is back. :(

[BlackSwordsMan]

just beat it
awesome game

[BlackSwordsMan]

I hear the shotty is back. :(

Well they fixed the connection so yeah its back but this game is far from GOW 1 where its shotgun shotgun shotgun. In gow 3 you can pretty much get killed by anything and it seems fair.
S/O is a cunt though hope they fix it.

[IronMaxipad]

I loved the shotty in Gears 1. They fucked it up in gears 2 so i pretty much gave up on that game.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Yeah its all good now.

[scott]

Been thinking about picking this one up, would require dusting off my 360 though.

[Xevious]

Had a blast playing the first two coop. Will be picking this one up soon hopefully.

[Sense]

I beat it yesterday with online co-op, I never played the second one other than probably twice, since I don't own an XBOX.. but beating it was fun. Beat Beast mode on one map and that was fun, I'm on 36 on horde mode in another map.. it's a fun game..

[Heath Ledger]

The shotty is once again a bitch.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Really? This has to be the most balanced GOW game ever. Maybe this game just isn't for you.

[Frenzy]

I expected this game to make more of a ripple.

[ManuBalboa]

Picked it up yesterday. Never played 1 or 2. First impression is the campaign is boring as fuck. MP is fun as hell though.

[Creepn]

Multiplayer is hard ass hell. People always seem to 1 shotty me but it takes me about 5 shotgun blasts to kill them. Pisses me off.

Yeah, fuck that shit.

-_- it depends on what "shotty" you are using, I only played the first one and I never really knew the whole "shotty" problem.. but I was watching my little cousin play the other day and I noticed he was getting 1 shot kills with the sawed off, which makes sense.. it takes forever to reload..

[BlackSwordsMan]

Sawed off is cheap as shit but if you want easy kills yeah use it.

[ynh]

Can't say I think the SoS is cheap.. it is what it is. Yeah it sucks to get killed by it but if you are dumb enough to charge at someone that close up then it's your fault not the games. Unless the person is hiden in a corner and you didn't check it then you should have no problem dealing with them with the gnasher. It is pretty damn balanced. Can't say I have much of a complaint with the game other than the pistol still sucks.

[badfish22]

Played it a friends the other day. I agree with the OP.

[ManuBalboa]

Just don't let players get close enough to you to use the shotty. It's balanced out with the long reload time and short short distance requirement.

[Brutalis]

Like dude above I played this the other day at a buddies house, he is obsessed with it. It was shitty. I played GOW2 cause it was given to me for free, and I beat it, got some achievements and traded it in soon after. Gears is just bland to me, one track mind type game.

[z0sa]

It's definitely a fun game, but not one I'll personally be buying. CoD/BF has far better multiplayer, and the single player (other than horde) is fairly run of the mill.

[ynh]

Okay, I changed my mind on the Sawed off. You're a bitch if you use it. It takes absolutely no skill to use the damn thing and the spread is much too far. And if you're one of those asses that only use the Sawed off the entire game you're a noobie bitch, lol.

Hate that gun.. takes the fun out of shotgunning. Yeah I know how to defend against it (just roll away from them and not get too close) but it is still gay as fuck.

[Creepn]

I started using the sawed-off when I kept getting killed by them and now my K/D is positive now.

I don't see how you are a bitch using it when its hard to even get that close in the first place. You have to roll and maneuver you way in and avoid Lancer bullets all the while to get inside to get a kill. And a kill is not even guaranteed. If you miss, you gotta use your maneuvering skills to get the hell out.

[ynh]

It's not hard at all. I've used it plenty and I've had times where I could rush the guy, he pop me a couple times with a rifle, my movement isn't slowed and I still blast him. You know the people that have them.. that is the only good thing. They are the ones that sit and wait behind a corner not moving even when you are shooting them and it's obvious to them you aren't moving close.

Besides that.. a good testimony to it being a very easy gun that requires zero skill, as you say now that you are using it your KD is positive... My KD sucks (0.7).. the only gun I'm positive in is the SoS.. everyone I know the best KD is the SoS.

And maneuvering out of reach is not hard at all..

Just my opinion though. Not really saying it's cheap per say.. just that it's a bitch gun.

campaign was great as always. multiplayer mired by shotty battles, not something i can stand. its just spam and die. ill be selling this soon.

[Creepn]

I was pretty disappointed when I found out that you have to pay REAL money for weapon skins. For all of the skins, its 3200 microsoft points! What is that? $40?

All of them look like shit tbh. I use the flame/infected weapons and they came free. yay

[Muser]

Don't get why everyone complains about the shotty so much, the Lancer is a beast in this game just keep your distance.

[2pac > Kobe]

To me the multiplayer is ruined by the so

I played the shit out of gears 1, and I hope they make a classic playlist since I payed for the season pass n shit

[Landon Donofag]

Gears of war is all about the shotty fags. This aint Call of pussies. Close quarter combat = shotty time. You bitches are the reason they fucked up gears2 multiplayer.

[Creepn]

Its not the player's fault really. It's how the developers made game. Close quarters combat is the name of the game here and what better gun than the shotty for such a situation?

[resistanze]

The best feeling in the world is having a shotty bitch chase you when you have a lancer, and when you finally get close, you chainsaw the faggot. Solid Gold.

[vander]

Damn, both Gears of War and Halo, Microsoft knows how to make fucking fantastic video game trailers.

Did the sawed off really get patched? I'm not noticing any difference nor did I get an update to download.

[Creepn]

Oh was it supposed to be patched recently?? No wonder I've been so pissed with the sawed-off when I wasn't getting the kills I used to be getting. That explains it, it must've been patched. I think they just reduced the spread.

Now it's a useless gun when its just as powerful as the gnasher at close range.

[BlackSwordsMan]

yup it got patched the range was nerfed
thank jeebus

[Muser]

I hope Epic have more special weekends planned, big head mode was a blast.

[Veterinarian.]

Big head should be a gametype tbh. Permanent.

That torque bow Tuesday shit sounds entertaining

[BlackSwordsMan]

Isn't torque bow already going on?

[Spurtacus]

If anyone is down with horde or beast mode hit me up with a PM and your gamertag.
