Gears of War Megathread V1: I'm coughing up blood that ain't even mine! - Games

[QUOTE=I ARE REPTAR;32483703]You're thinking of Thrashball Cole[/QUOTE] Thrashball Cole is Cole Train. Football helmet, chest gear. Superstar Cole has a hat, sunglasses, and a wifebeater. Check your characters, he's in the second to last row.

When i first started up Gears 3 i couldn't do Casual Matches, is that because of my Rank from Gears 2? (I was over Level 10 i think)

[QUOTE=Agoat;32483931]If you have any Gears achievements, you skip casual matches.[/QUOTE] Ah, so it knows you've played Gears of War before so it assumes you know what you're doing, that's not bad. I completed Gears 3 on normal and i honestly couldn't fault it once through the campaign.

[QUOTE=I ARE REPTAR;32483971]Yeah i know, i meant that Cole train is just Cole in his thrashball outfit. You can only get him from playing the beta[/QUOTE] ...but I was never talking about Cole Train. I was talking about Superstar Cole.

Isn't Superstar Cole all "gangsta" looking with "bling" and what not?

[QUOTE=Viorotica;32484088]Isn't Superstar Cole all "gangsta" looking with "bling" and what not?[/QUOTE] Yep. I guarantee when I get that skin I will use only Boltoks.

C. Carmine is so cool, I'm really disappointed they didn't do more with him. He barely had a personality outside of liking Bacon and hating the Locust. They are coming out with a bunch of DLC, so maybe we'll get some missions where we play as Carmine and they explain where he was during all of those acts. Wishful thinking, I know, but it would be awesome.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;32484027]...but I was never talking about Cole Train. I was talking about Superstar Cole.[/QUOTE] So confused

I might cave and just buy the Skin packs for the Hammerburst, i don't want to but i want a cool looking skin for it, Gold and Chrome are boring me and i don't really like the Crimson Omen that much other than on the Gnasher.

If you want a good looking skin that badly, go into private multiplayer with casual bots and farm kills for the Hammerburst until you get Onyx for it.

[QUOTE=I ARE REPTAR;32484636]So confused[/QUOTE] Thrashball Cole and Superstar Cole are two different models of Cole. Thrashball Cole is the one in the American Football gear and the Superstar Cole is the one in the "bling" on him.

[QUOTE=myalt22;32471829]Holy shit, you can attach a grenade to your meatshield and throw them at the enemy![/QUOTE] Except that it's completely worthless because you get stuck in place for a good 4 seconds. Someone tried that shit on me and I bum rushed him and wrecked him with the sawed off. [editline]26th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=I ARE REPTAR;32482314]I went in and bought the game on release day from Jb Hi-Fi and got the codes for Commando Dom and Mechanic Baird. I didn't even pre order or anything. And then my friend who works at EB games stole a bunch of DLC codes for the Savage Grenadier Elite and gave me one, i feel really lucky[/QUOTE] Lucky you, I still have a com Dom code that I haven't even used because I don't EVER fucking use Dom so why would I want to use the code? I would have much rather had Savage Grenadier Elite

Apparently the flaming retro lancer is an epic employee only skin so they're taking it away from everyone

[QUOTE=Cataclysmic_47;32480298]Do a lot of people really use the retro lancer in multi-player? I want to get the game ASAP, but because I'm so used to the playing style of Gears of War 2 of playing with the shotgun (I forget the name of the shotgun). Once I get the game and start playing online, do I have to completely forget the tactics and strategies of GOW2 and adopt new ones for GOW3?[/QUOTE] Lancers, Lancers everywhere. Don't bother trying to shotgun battle anymore because the lancer will destroy you before you even get close.

[QUOTE=I ARE REPTAR;32484802]Apparently the flaming retro lancer is an epic employee only skin so they're taking it away from everyone[/QUOTE] Not that i'll miss it anyway.

[QUOTE=I ARE REPTAR;32484802]Apparently the flaming retro lancer is an epic employee only skin so they're taking it away from everyone[/QUOTE] That's fucking stupid. They should somewhat fix the team insignia skin because the locust version is ugly as fuck. I don't want my entire gun tinted red with the locust insignia, I'd rather have it like the COG version where it has the normal color/slight blue tint with the COG symbol.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;32484809]Lancers, Lancers everywhere. Don't bother trying to shotgun battle anymore because the lancer will destroy you before you even get close.[/QUOTE] Hammerburst all the time, everywhere for me.

I'm so bad with the Hammerburst, but I'll keep using it as I need to get a bronze star with all the starting weapons.. 364/500 for my Silver SoS Medal. Guys, are we still gonna do Horde to wave 50 one day?

I really want to do Horde Wave 50 with some people, i'm getting sick of random people who don't have any coordination, people who insult others for not completing a challenge when they didn't aid to help complete it, people in general using the microphones, it's either foreign people, kids who spam and sound like they're playing with toys or something or people who always insult you for no reason.

Oh man, tonight has been a good night. I went 12-0 in a Team Deathmatch game, got 500 kills with the Lancer, and unlocked Benjamen Carmine.

Horde has been occupying most of my time it seems, I'm really loving the changes, the bosses, and all the defense stuff. Basically everything about it I love.

Beast Mode is what i'm loving, i just wish more players were on it in my Region, takes a bit to get into a game.

[QUOTE=Viorotica;32485739]Beast Mode is what i'm loving, i just wish more players were on it in my Region, takes a bit to get into a game.[/QUOTE] Yeah Beast is pretty great, it's awesome when you finally get a Berserker and pretty much rape everything.

[QUOTE=usaokay;32485749]I'm willing to bet the upcoming DLC is about Baird and Cole trying to find [sp]the UIR/reinforcements for the attack on Azura.[/sp][/QUOTE] Please no. I was already totally bored with Baird's character by the end of the first game, I don't need even more of him. Besides, all that would be is go to this place, shoot Locust/Lambent, go to another place, shoot Locust/Lambent, dialogue, and then big battle at the end. It would essentially be the chapters where you play as Cole, just with a different end goal.

The game is pretty much made up of going to a place and shooting Locust and/or Lambent, so i don't see how it would be any different playing as Baird.

Baird is gay

I like Baird.

I play mechanic baird because he's DLC and his closet homosexual comments make me giggle "mmm thats JUICY!"
