Got my golden retro lancer in just 2 games of king of the hill. It's pathetically easy to run around spraying people with it and stealing other peoples' kills. If you just do that, getting 100 kills is too easy.

Not gonna be playing this beta anymore really. Only wanted the retail stuff to be honest. I really don't like this beta anyways.

I like the beta.
The only thing I don't like is the retro.
The retro needs to be nerfed heavily.
That is all.

Sounds good. Still need to play 21 more games and get the 100 kills to get the gold retro lancer. :c

The only problem I have with execution in this game is the fact that with no respawns, people will be conservative.
When people are conservative, they will do whatever they have to at any cost to ensure that they have a good K/D or win.
With that said, people will corner camp with the sawed off for easy kills. People will, at first, figure out ways to counter it, but in the end, an unpatched sawed off will make this game digress into slow, campy, hardaiming speeds much like Gears of War 2 stuck in molasses.

idk man, I understand playing respawn gametypes if you're RIDIN SOLOOOOOOOO

but if execution comes, I shall take you under my wing. We shall fly the night sky together.


FO REAL THOUGHHH, I think you've just had too many bad experiences with execution. Possibly because of lack of team mates? I shall send you an invite when I have a full squad + execution. If that doesn't happen, we shall got o GoW2, and wreck face, with wretched.

Pretty much. All the best execution teams of Gow 2 camped, and ARs were much less powerful there. Now with the stronger ARs and the sawed-off people will be much more inclined to camp because approaching someone is ridiculously unsafe. Well, hopefully they add execution rules to TDM and KotH, I could enjoy those a lot more that way.

LOL, what's this event going on? Everyone had huge heads and squeaky voices.

Apparently there is a new mode today in the Gears 3 beta which gives everyone big heads and high pitched/squeaky voices. ("Big Head" mode will also be in the retail version.)

I played the beta this afternoon and didn't notice anything different, guess they turned it on now?

Were you playing Player's Choice? Because I heard it's only in Player's Choice.

So i guess cliff, rod and joe said that there's still the "surprise week" to come, and that it's not flame retro, horde or beast mode.


btw, if anyone wants to watch a Gow2 tourney, click here

I have to agree with Pluvia that the Plancer handles most situations where you have to run away from sawn off users. The stopping power stops any of them from getting close, and if they do indeed get close enough to you, your melee has SOOO MUCH RANGE

You can easily down 2 people with one round of Plancer. It's broken, but people that rush with the sawn off hate it.

Anyone here get their extra beta code(s) yet? I checked the hotmail associated with my XBL GT but so far, nothing.

I'm assuming it's still too early in the day to expect them?

I use the Hammerburst I'm avoiding the Plancer and Sawn Off at all costs both weapons simply don't make the game fun right now. Plus I'm anticipating that both will get nerfed after the beta so by the time the Hammerburst is back to being the best AR I'll already be accustomed to it.

The hammerburst feels like it has no stopping power.
Also, seeing as how most players don't have a single kill with the Lancer, I would anticipate a damage buff.

The Lancer is the worst AR right now... It doesn't have the range/accuracy of the Hammerburst and it also doesn't have the power/close range capabilities of the Retro.

I wanna see the Plancer nerfed, the Lancer slightly buffed, and the Hammerburst is fine as it is.

Epic can just get rid of the Sawn Off all together...

After those changes GoW3 becomes the best game of all time! :)

Yeah this would help the game. Especially that last part about the Sawed-Off.

I doubt they'll do anything to the sawn off except give it slightly less horizontal range. It's like a less broken Gnasher anyway so hopefully they nerf the long range damage on that sniper.

I don't like when people call the SO (I'm tired of typing Sawed Off) overpowered it's not overpowered it's cheap and there's a big difference between the two.

I'm worried that when Excecution and Warzone finally come around, the SO is going to become over-centralized since 1 v 1 situations are a LOT more common in those 2 game types as opposed to any other re-spawning game type. Everyone knows the SO beats the Gnasher 1 v 1... Overall that means the SO usage is only going to become even high higher.

They should just reinvent the Sawed off to something that resembles the Gnasher, but isn't the same. I came up with a good idea with F8AL, but I completely forgot it x___x, but both of us agreed that it would be better.

The Lancer is my favorite AR by far, and I want them to give it a small buff. The Retro should just get a damage nerf, and I dunno what I would do to the HB. I really hope that they don't touch the Digger at all, cause that weapon is perfect. <3

In my Epic Forums post, I proposed an idea for how the gun should operate.
It goes like this, but I added more:
Increased range
Decreased damaged at ranges that aren't within melee distance (meaning it would never do enough to down/gib unless you could melee the other person)
Decreased Spread
Faster Reload
More Bullets

Possible Features: A melee that has halved damage, has half of the cool-down and half of the stun (if you get a hitmarker, you have an option that isn't broken and doesn't involve running away)
Knockback/Stun
