[quote]You can win a match in the Gears of War 3 beta without firing a shot. It's impressive, if not the most exciting thing to watch. Good work, folks (the featured players here are from the pro gaming team Amazyn, we think), and hat tip to Gears czar Cliff Bleszinski for Tweeting it to our attention[/quote]

I had no idea snoop dog was an avid gamer.
I tough I could win a game. :saddowns:
Is the game still shotgun duels where you roll around each other and the cover system voided useless?

That's how Gears gameplay always was. They tweaked it now, now that there's dedicated servers it gives other players a chance to use other precision weapons.
Oh lawd shotgun dancing.
Why the fuck is this news?
Actually did this once with a bunch of my friends in GOW 1 when we were playing a one-life match, they all spread out and we just stayed as a massive chainsaw blob.
But there are no chainsaws in God of War
oh you mean the shitty GoW

Gee I wonder if you're a fanboy :rolleyes:
I always sucked at GoW online. friggin' shotties everywhere. Might rent this to beat the story though.
[QUOTE=usaokay;29894929]A lot of players still use shotguns in Gears 3, but this time, they'll just rush in or hide for the kill. Very rarely will there be shotgun dancing since fags use the sawed off shotgun.
Retro lancers 4 lyfe[/QUOTE]
Shotguns are practically the main weapon in all the Gears games (multiplayer wise). Sawn-off shotgun is so easy to counter it's not even funny.
Wow the camera bobbing looks very annoying...
Why does this game even exist if they didn't change anything? If the title hadn't said GOW3 I would have said it was the second game.

If you played enough of the 2nd game, you'd realize all the changes in the 3rd. Gameplay is MUCH faster. Animations are smoother and overall better looking. Graphics have been upgraded. Weapons have been updated/upgraded. Dedicated servers. Matchmaking is a lot quicker. No longer will winning a match instantly throw you back to a lobby (in other words you can continue playing with the same people).
Honestly your comment makes it seem like Gears of War is the ONLY game to keep the same gameplay. "Why does half life 2 episode 2 exist if they didn't change anything"

Well Episode 2 wasn't 60 bucks. Not that I'm against GoW, just saying.

Well that's clearly a very different circumstance. Episode 2 was all about continuing the story and was done with such a high level of expertise that no one would have ever thought to complain that the engine was the same as it didn't matter.
But with GoW no one can say with a straight face that they even remember what the story of the second game was. It's really all about the mutliplayer, so it's pretty ridiculous to see that over 3 titles spanning 5 years the animations and entire look and feel of the game is literally unchanged. Even the graphics are identical save for the shaders. It's all just kind of pointless cause it's not as if the core gameplay is so fantastic that it warrants being essentially remade twice over. But to each his own.

I can easily remember the story of the 2nd game. Obviously if they made 3 games (to which by your standards they barely changed a thing) than they must have been doing something right from the beginning.
4:50 holy shit
I remember playing the shit out of GoW1. Sadly though doesn't look like much has changed besides the lighting.
I remember a few times in GoW2 being called a "Lancer Whore" for using the lancer. Me and my friend embraced our title and found it quite effective when the two of us concentrated our fire on one target. Then the entire enemy team would be in uproar. Good times :v:

People want Gears of War for what it is. Just look at what happened to Unreal Tournament 3, they changed it too much to the point where it wasn't the classical title everyone remembered.

Nope, primarily a PC gamer
but I guess if I don't like a generic, colorless, chest-high-wall shooter I must be a fanboy

It is neither. I am primarily a PC gamer as well, but I don't give consoles shit for no reason. Colorless? Are you blind? I saw a lot of colors there. That, and it wasn't really generic, considering that I do not think I have seen a game really do what Gears does as well at all. Get off of your high horse, show at least SOME humbleness.
Ya Know, Im not entirey the most Keen person when it comes to Gears of War, but i might consider playing this. Besides, its something fresh.
Chainsaw Banzai Charge Video was Awesome.

thats what made the game great now there is too much assault rifling
I completely forgot about Gears for quite a while, despite the fact that I used to play it avidly a few years ago.
