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

Wow, how long did that take to get? You been playing Horde since day one of release or something?

Not going to lie, i loved GoW3, but when it comes to the 21st im trading it in and getting Batman Arkham city for £4.99 :)

[B]The Green Liquid Skin Pack will be available on the Marketplace 3rd January for 320MSP[/B] [url]http://twitter.com/#!/HammerOfWynn/status/123864358223757312[/url]

The 3rd of the starting month next year? In less than 3 months time? I get that they want to make it seem like it's more exclusive for longer, but it isn't that good.

I wish they would fix the map cycles. It gets tiring - Old Town - Drydock - Old Town - Checkout - Old Town - Trashball - Old Town - Trashball - Old Town

[QUOTE=Annoyed Tree;32743339]I wish they would fix the map cycles. It gets tiring - Old Town - Drydock - Old Town - Checkout - Old Town - Trashball - Old Town - Trashball - Old Town[/QUOTE] It seems to be Overpass every other map for me, and I hate that map. I rarely get to play Trenches and I like that map.

I always get Sandbar coming up at least 30 times a day. I hate that unbalanced map so much. Also, not enough Checkout. I love that map.

Why don't they just the maps on rotate? like a full circle of everything

I love the Retro lancer...but i suck at it :( Any tips beyond burst firing for long ranges?

[QUOTE=Dahaka32;32747777]I love the Retro lancer...but i suck at it :( Any tips beyond burst firing for long ranges?[/QUOTE] Don't use it. It's not really good enough to be your primary in multiplayer unless you're really good at getting to close range unharmed. By the time you get to someone, they've probably already downed you with the Lancer or Hammerburst. I suppose you could just fire in 2-3 shot bursts though, to help with the recoil.

[QUOTE=Dahaka32;32747777]I love the Retro lancer...but i suck at it :( Any tips beyond burst firing for long ranges?[/QUOTE] Just burst fire for long range and when you've got one of those Gnasher peeps running up to you well then just let 'er rip and hear their cries in their fouls voice messages :v:

[QUOTE=Legolas;32747846]Just burst fire for long range and when you've got one of those Gnasher peeps running up to you well then just let 'er rip and hear their cries in their fouls voice messages :v:[/QUOTE] Who's going to rush you with the Gnasher? I've seriously never met people who leave cover and run at someone just to shotgun them. They'll usually just shoot at you with their primary if they're that far away.

Most of the matches I play I'm [b]usually[/b] the only one who uses anything other than the gnasher (or sometimes SoS)

Well I managed to score one of those Liquid Green Metal codes from Jack in the BoX... Wonder if I can get a Savage Kantus somewhere for it. Unless the Pre-order skins will be DLC at some point.

Unless the Pre-order skins will be DLC at some point.[/QUOTE] They probably will. Besides, nobody is going to give you a really rare Savage Kantus for an extremely common Xbox code. I've been giving those out like candy for the past week. It's also been confirmed that they'll be DLC in the near future, so, yeah. I don't think you're gonna be able to sucker anyone into that deal.

Saw a level 100 today playing as Big Rig Dizzy and he had a transparent skin. Either he was an admin or whatever, or he broke the game :v:

[QUOTE=Troll?;32749682]Saw a level 100 today playing as Big Rig Dizzy and he had a transparent skin. Either he was an admin or whatever, or he broke the game :v:[/QUOTE] Probably a modder. Was his GT iiCQRSE by any chance?

[QUOTE=Troll?;32749682]Saw a level 100 today playing as Big Rig Dizzy and he had a transparent skin. Either he was an admin or whatever, or he broke the game :v:[/QUOTE] Bunch of other people have seen him recently. Me? I haven't. Either a modder or an epic employee. It's so hard to distinguish epic employees and modders..

His name was 'Don Of War' if that helps at all :v:

I haven't seen anyone like that. It's probably a modder. I don't see why an Epic member would use that stuff out of all of the other on-disk content, not to mention some stuff that's probably available for epic employees.

[QUOTE=An Armed Bear;32749536]Ah, didn't know it was going to be DLC. Ah well.[/QUOTE]It's not confirmed, only speculation.

[QUOTE=Yoozil;32753016]It's not confirmed, only speculation.[/QUOTE] Uh, no, it's confirmed. Epic said it's coming as DLC after the new year.
