RAAM and Sniper all day son!

I always prefer to be the Locust in the multiplayer... They're just so much cooler than the COG (sorry Marcus).

Everyone who's trying to get better at Gears, take notes. Fantastic montage. You and I play very, very similar with the Gnasher, but I'm still working on my blindfiring aim that you seem to be very good with at close quarters.

You're waaay better than me with a sniper though.

10/10!

AND NOTICE HOW HE DOESN'T USE THE SAWN OFF? <--- Ok I'm done with that lol.

So this game finally made me throw my controller at the wall for the first time of my life (all the batteries came out and it's chipped a little now :awesome:)

There's something really bad if this game can make me do that but MW2 didn't :/

I've broken a controller once--never do that again. Waste of money, I just spit out swear words and punch things.

:l
someone play with me, I'm bored.

You know, I'd do that, and I do, but I swear to God it is so ****ing annoying (where I literally feel like punching kitties in the face) when my parents hear my swearing from upstairs and then later use it to kid around with me even though I tell them to stop it, but they still keep on going thinking I joke around with them :/

So with Mr. BKPro we play CTL. I get a Gnasher quad, and a collateral (?) Sawed Off Triple.
I was screaming. WOOOOOOOOO

I witnessed this madness.

It sounded like a scream/****/horrified/dying giraffe noise all in one. It was delightful, actually.

This beta is only tolerable with a team.

Confirmed. But why?

Just got a 15 Killstreak. :awesome:

I had 5 Dubs, 5 Killstreaks, 2 10 KS's, one 15 and went 44-13

Thanks for the comments guys. I didn't see any of them yesterday because I went to a smash tournament.

I've noticed that a lot of people are idiots in this game. I've had countless free kills from people retro charging me, or running towards me from a distance with a shotgun, only for them to be ripped apart by my Hammerburst or Plancer. Or I've noticed people, and why they do this is absolutely beyond me, taking the leader into spawn. It doesn't take a genius to realise that camping somewhere where temporarily invincible enemies can spawn is a really, really bad idea.

I wish Wretched or Prime or Xanthan was on when I went on earlier, because randoms just annoy me,

We played a lot earlier. :mad:

I would've just quit Mura, seeing as though it was impossible to win.

I meant after that.

Anyway I got annoyed again today, decided to play a match with some randoms again:

I had my mic on and a Cole ran at our team with a Sawn Off, missed, and ran away. My three teammates all decided to start shooting at him with their shotguns. I actually shouted "Just shoot him with your ****ing assault rifles!". Really why doesn't anyone use them? They're not just there to look pretty.

Next round, me and a Marcus went to sniper, I rolled out and picked it up, he rolled out of cover and started Plancering me, giving me an easy headshot. I then saw frags get picked up but I was too late for the headshot and I got blown up. I respawned and we only had 6 lives left, to which I said "How are we losing?" to which one guy replied "They're using the stupid weapons like retro lancer" to which I replied "Well just retro them back then".

I then proceeded to watch my team try to run at people with Gnashers, and get destroyed by retros, instead of doing what any smart person would and get in cover and Hammerburst them.

Randoms in this game seriously annoy me.

That's just randoms in any game.

If people use the retro, I'm going to use the retro. If I get frustrated enough because they're using the sawed off, I'll use it too. I'm not going to let myself die over and over just because I'm self righteous in regards to those guns. You use it, I use it.

Same goes to black ops with ghost. I'm not going to try and compete with things like that if I just end up frustrated every time. I'll just use it back and be an even bigger douche.

Soon you'll be able to share your beta invites with friends! :)

Source:

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/02/share-gears-of-war-3-beta-invites-beginning-may-8/

The "Never Fight Alone" phase of the Gears of War 3 beta will begin May 8, allowing players to invite friends into the foray. Participants in the beta will earn "buddy tokens" by finishing challenges or completing tasks ... like giving Microsoft more money.

Players have until May 4 (this Wednesday!) to complete the tasks and earn up to five tokens. Participants don't need to take any addition action for their tokens, and the alpha-numeric codes will be distributed by email starting May 8 (so make sure your account details are up to date).

Mura, that montage was good. Some of the sniper shots were unimpressive though, excluding the get-up headshot and the popshot.

Coming from a slightly competitive Gears of War 1 era, that was good.

8.5/10

Nice, I've completed 4/5 of those! That's 4 tokens rolling my way!

OH WAIT! IT'S U.S. ONLY!

Once again proving what an INCREDIBLY ****ty company Epic is. Honestly, I could not emphasise that more.
It is? LAME! (Anyone care telling me one good reason for that?)

=(

Epic is a really stupid company. That's the reason.

Edit:

Or wait, everyone outside the US has a chance to get one token. I still 100% stand by my Epic is stupid statement though.

Epic is the only game designer that finds what their players want.
We've all heard your rant about TU6, but its not like they intended for it to be ****ty. The only problem is the range that hardaiming gives. It makes blindfiring and popshotting useless.
They brought back everything that we asked for in this game and gears 1 is perfect as it is.
So I'd love to know what makes them so ****ty, as in they don't care about fans and they don't produce quality games with huge dedicated fanbases.

Every time someone kills you with the sawed off, a kitten dies.

Think about that for a moment.

I stand corrected, but if you thoroughly adjust your play, the sawed off becomes obsolete in most situations. The only time I can't stand it is when people pull out a retro and camp you, and then they force you to approach, at close range, a battle that you will almost always lose against a weapon that is extremely overpowered in such situations.

Gears 1: Host advantage. Host can kick. Incredibly glitchy. After tons of updates they still left the sniper as the most broken weapon.

Gears 2: Lied about host advantage being gone. Shipped a game that was plagued with more multiplayer glitches than the first one oddly. Dreadful hit detection. Took them until their second last update to remove smoke stun. Pretty much everything in TU6. Yet again they didn't nerf the broken weapon, in this case the Torque.

The list goes on and on.

GoW2 is garbage, everyone knows that ;_; Gow3 will be perfect once retro is toned down imo >:3


btw, youtube.com/getbroncogow for comm matches, hopefully they'll start to upload more commentaries in the future :] Idk if i've posted this before, sorry if I have ;_;

Here is a comm match just recently uploaded on T-ball.

Is that honestly worse than a company like IW who know what their fans hate and still do **** to fix unlike Epic who is ALREADY doing better than IW with a beta for this game or the fact that they've tried to fix their other bugs in their games? Sure they still have problems, but at least they TRIED to do something about it unlike IW who only patched like 3 things, and one of them was a glitch in a PAID map that was updated 10 months later after its release. And at least Epic didn't lie about crap like IW and that they said that they'd patch OMA, but they never did. Sure the hit detection might be bad, but that's not all their fault. You could be partly to blame if you don't have a good Internet connection yourself and the fact that they're introducing dedicated servers, which further proves the fact that they care about us.

The fact that there's a kick button for host in Gears 1 isnt broken in itself, but broken in the fact that if the person who uses it is host and he uses it because other people are being gay, then he's a douche and he's no better than the others.

And since when is Torque the most broken weapon in Gears 2? I've never had any trouble with it and I've never heard of anybody saying that it was a broken weapon so I dunno wtf you're on
