Gears of War 3

[Fuelbi]

Well come on all those things are things I could easily do myself with a bit of luck. Well except for the Torque Bow one, that I won't do just because I'll probably never get the opportunity to do it

The other two I could easily do. Shoot the Digger Launcher that kills the entire team? Please that's already happened to me about 4 times today. Don't see how that's really spectacular

If anything they should have put the Torque Bow higher at 3 just because that's more wow worthy than the next two

And I agree. 1 and 2 should definitely switch. Sure the scoreboard required some extreme luck just because an extremely small amount of players ever get a kill with it but that boltok one I know I'll NEVER EVER EVER EVER in my lifespan will I'll be able to do. I mean what are the chances of me randomly shooting a pistol into a cloud of smoke to blow up 5 people with a planted grenade? None because first off I never even use my pistol and I only use it when I meatshield people, which I barely ever do anyways because I like to be flashy, and second off, come on. I'm never that lucky in ANYTHING

 

[Wretched]

Since when do you like being flashy? You use the sawed off. Also, that's ridiculous. I don't believe that you've gotten five kills with one set of digger ammo in any amount of time.
Also, the kills aren't ranked by skill, they're ranked by amazingness in general. Although, I agree that #1 and #2 were misplaced. Actually, #1 should've been #4

 

[Pluvia]

What I don't understand is people who are scared of other people in this game.

What's that? There's a guy there? You can't move forward because he might shoot you? WELL YOU HAVE A GUN DIP****, SHOOT HIM!!

Gears of War 3 Epic and Collector's Editions Unveiled

Source: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/...3-Epic-and-Collector-s-Editions-Unveiled.html

Check the link above to see what's in both editions of the game!

 

[Master Xanthan]

Both editions seem cool. But Adam Fenix and the Weapon Skins pack are probably already on the disc so I'll just stick with the regular edition.

They are on the disc. (Can't confirm this but we all know it's true.)

 

[WindMajor]

I'm shelling out the extra cash for this. Definitely.

Well... I made up my mind way before the beta, but now I'm certain.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

The figure is sorta cool looking, and you get a fair amount of stuff along with the game for only an extra $40. I'll consider that, seeing as I have a lot of money to waste.

Not so sure if it'll be worth it in the end considering how bad the beta was....

 

[WindMajor]

I told F8AL like a million times that if it had an artbook, it's as good as mine.

 

[Fuelbi]

So none of those are the Limited Edition or is it going by the name of the Collector's Edition?

Because I'd like to see what it brings since I reserved it :/

I stopped using it after the first week yo

EDIT:

Whoops double post >_<

 

[Pluvia]

He mentioned it was the end of the trilogy in that video.

Told you it was a trilogy Wretched!

Edit:

Also Limited edition is called Collectors, Fuel.

Edit Edit:

Also F8AL Adam Fenix and the weapon skins wont be on the disc. It'll be like the flaming effect in Reach, a Legendary exclusive.

 

[Master Xanthan]

On second thought I might get the limited edition. Not sure yet. I don't really care about the weapon skins pack since I already have a bunch of flame camos and gold retro lancer. But getting to use Adam Fenix could be cool.

Ok then yessssssss I get a banner. I've been wanting one for my wall foreverrrrrrrrrr

I also get Adam Fenix yessss winnnnnn

And I get a medal. I will wear that to school in pride to have served the COG for as long the first game's been made

The flaming effect in Reach was already on the disc.

 

[Pluvia]

Yeah but what difference does that make if you can't use it without Legendary? Saying it's already on the disc is just a redundant piece of information.

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

I'll miss you GoW3...see you in September. =<

 

[F8AL]

You actually can use it if you have the regular edition of Reach. Just buy/find a code and input it into XBLM.

Since these skins are probably already on the disc, it eliminates one of the "must have" reasons for getting the more expensive editions of the game.

 

[Pluvia]

Apart from the fact that the flaming helmets were selling for around the same price as Legendary itself. You could buy the regular and pay more for codes and get less stuff, or just buy the Collector or Epic for cheaper and get more stuff.

 

[Fuelbi]

You could buy the regular, but what about the stuff that come with the more expensive editions? The ones that are actually physical things? I beat you that's the prime reason why people buy the more expensive editions in the first place

 

[F8AL]

Yeah, I know that. Just letting you guys know that the skins and stuff of that nature is probably on the disc. That's all.

I'll probably pick this game up when it releases. (Might keep me entertained till MW3 is released 2 months later...)

 

[Fuelbi]

That was meant to be a response to Pluvia

 

[Pluvia]

Probably for Gears due to the fact that all the physical content is great, but not for Halo.

Also bull****. There's exclusive skins for pre-ordering it from different retailers. Savage Kantus for Amazon, and Mechanic Baird for somewhere called Best Buy.

Great Epic. Showing us how ****ty and money grabbing your company is yet again. Seriously these skins better be DLC because what the **** is a Best Buy.

 

[WindMajor]

If anything, they will be up for DLC.

And when I mean DLC, I mean DLC that Epic will raffle on Twitter for free.

 

[Pluvia]

Uh. Well here's your Gridlock.

 

[Fuelbi]

Yeah Gridlock back for Gears 3

 

[Pluvia]

There was a whole bunch of pictures of almost every single character in the game plus a few alt costume and a new map but the removed it already.

It showed a new unknown COG that looked like a cool Carmine, but who was called Prescott Guard.

Edit: Not the pics, but they'll resurface on the net soon, but all the maps and characters excluding the pre-order Adam Fenix, Mechanic Baird and Savage Theron:

I know it's real because I just saw all the pics for almost all of those characters, Onyx Guard is Prescott Guard, and this information came out it February and it has so far been spot on.

I did manage so save a picture of the map Rustlung to my computer before they took it down though, confirming it's authenticity even more:

 

[o-Serin-o]

And now begins my Gears of War 3 withdrawal.

Symptoms may include:

Not wanting to go to Gears of War 2.
Wanting to play Gears of War 3 even more.
Not staying on Xbox as long.

:L




I miss Gears 3...

 

[Pluvia]

So I literally can't find these pictures anywhere on Google. I also couldn't find my way back to the folder on the image website that had them, but then I remembered my computers history, so I managed to get them through that! So here's the pre-order characters and "Bling" Cole and possibly Dom's dead brother, Carlos, or maybe an alt costume for Dom. These aren't the leaked ones I was talking about:

Spoiler

Now these are the leaked character files that I can't find anywhere else on the Internet, excluding the 2 maps I previously posted:

Spoiler

I noticed that there's quite a few numbers missing, and all the characters are in alphabetical order. Savage Drone is 106 and the Sniper is 109, meaning that 107 and 108 is Savage Grenadier and Theron.

That means Skorge isn't on the disc. He'll probably be DLC like Savage Kantus.

 

[Fuelbi]

My Gears 3 withdrawal includes

Not wanting to play Gears 2
Partying because the beta is finally over
Not even going on XBL anymore

 

[o-Serin-o]

Epic pictures.

No pun intended.

 

[Wretched]

I didn't like the beta due to two specific weapons.
Those which shall not be named.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Good **** Pluvia!

 

[F8AL]

The gayed sawed off and the retro lancer?

 

[WindMajor]

No, the Digger Launcher and the Sniper.

They weren't amazing enough.

 

[Pluvia]

The sniper was perfect I think actually. It actually works now, and headshots are so easy to come by in this game.

Though weirdly I think I got the most headshots with the Boltok. That gun is severely underrated.

 

[ThunderSt0rm]

Boltok was fun to use. And I heard it helps you get 5 kills with a planted frag.

Yes. The bane of my existence has manifested in the form of the retro.

No, the Digger Launcher and the Sniper.

No. They are perfect

[Pluvia]

The digger is fantastic if you shoot it like a grenade launcher like you said Wretched.

 

[The Real Gamer]

Like I said earlier I don't think the sniper is "easier" to get headshots with in GoW3 than it was in GoW2 I think a lot of it has to do with superior hit detection... It was terrible in GoW2.
