Wretched, your view on the SO is skewed because you don't use it, if you used it a couple of times it's weaknesses would be incredibly jarring and you'd then know how to counter SO users better.

I've used it a few times and when I did, I camped and never missed.
A person with GoW2 experience and the ability to wallbounce and approach people without having to worry about aiming was ridiculous, but I didn't HAVE TO approach. I just sat around corners and waited against good players and still ***** them.
If it didn't have so much ****ING radius it wouldn't be an issue at all, but I strafe SO FAR out of the way and it doesn't matter.

Sawed off has to be 50% of my deaths just because I am forced to approach when people sit around corners. The worst thing is that now when they sit behind corners, they have the ultimate defensive weapon.

Nothing but P2P games today. But I did get the highest ammount of kills I've ever gotten KotH today. 63 in 3 rounds.

Gonna get back into playing Gears again, now that my finals are done. For the most part, TU2 sounds very promising.

Yes, strangely enough, even though GoW 3 is eons better than GoW 2, I still have more fun memories with GoW 2. One time I played for 14 hours straight. I've yet to play for more than 3 hours with this game yet.

That's hilarious. Good ****.

I'm gonna be soooooooo rusty when I get my XBox back after Thanksgiving. I'll finally be able to buy a replacement AV cable.

My fondest Gears memories was abusing all of the absurd glitches in Gears 2. Forcing host (on my bad connection), standbying, turning invisible, shotgun + boomshield, lagging out the other team, spawning everyone without weapons, etc.

I think the best glitch out of all of them was the invisible glitch just cause being a ghost to everyone was such a satisfying experience.

You forgot being able to go through a wall and roam almost anywhere while killing people still behind said walls.
I always enjoyed encountering these kind of people on stages like Bloodrive or Jacinto.

All I play is TDM and whatever the host of the party feels like playing. What're the new maps anyways? Haven't been able to download the Update yet.
Aaaaand, My Gears 2 skills is still adjusted to Guardian mechanics, so i'm one to rush in hopefully get 2-7 kills in one life and still be reckless even if they have spawn protection. So I can't get in the mood of camping like we should in execution.

Just went 25-0 in TDM on Clocktower. Needless to say, I was kicking absolute ***. I think it's safe to say I'm finally as good at this game as I was at Gears 2 at one point.

Raam's dlc should be pretty good. But you should only get the season pass if you really want all the dlc coming out. Remember what Epic did with the Horde Command Pack?

Man, the 2v2 format makes me remember just how much I love the ****ing Sniper Rifle.

So, seriously, new maps.

Azura, hold digger.
Bullet Marsh, you've gotta exert pressure on the Boom, but you need to hold center. Helps a LOT to keep track of when Boom is gonna spawn.
Blood Drive is Blood Drive. Get that power weapon and watch for them to hole up on their stairs.
I don't know what the **** you're supposed to do on Rustlung. Frags is the key point?
I'm forgetting something here, someone remind me.
