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

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;32339575]What's that?[/QUOTE] Insane wave on Horde currently is 6250 or so exp. Combine with Tickers only (really easy kills) plus security's really easily camping spot and lasers for easy switch to wave 1 = average 6250 exp per minute :v:

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32337609]Ooo which ones?[/QUOTE] Epic edition of gears 3 comes with Adam Fenix multiplayer character and the Infected Omen weapon pack. The infected omen pack looks like this (small image sorry) [img]http://gearsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/gear-of-war-3-infected-omen-lancer.jpg[/img] The skin is animated.

I honestly want the xbox weapon skins (no details on how to unlock them yet) [img]http://gearsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/gears3brightgreenlancer.jpg[/img]

You know what I love that they included in Gears 2? Bot matches. Seriously, lots of games seem to have forsaken bot matches. I kinda hope they are still around in GoW3.

[QUOTE=Legolas;32340128]the LIMITED, not EPIC only?! fuck yes![/QUOTE] Shit sorry it is EPIC edition only.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;32340183]Shit sorry it is EPIC edition only.[/QUOTE] aw fuck :suicide:

I'm pissed that I couldn't get the flaming hammer burst, luckily I got the other 3 though.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32340236]Adam Fenix is in the Limited Edition as well not just the Epic Edition.[/QUOTE] I meant the infected omen weapon pack. At least you guys got the flaming weapons. I didn't get shit because I didn't have the beta and my ISP decided to be a bitch during the beta anyways.

Anyone up for joining in on some ranked fun with me and my buddy? :3:

I should have preordered the limited edition. Hopefully my local eb games will still have some on release day, if not I'll just order it online. I don't really mind waiting another day or two.

[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;32339421]How do you have the game already? I didn't know it came out early in the UK. ANyway, how many chapters/acts are there?[/QUOTE] Tescos sent out my preorder early. Not sure why, but I'm definitely not complaining. Would people want some photos of the achievement/weapon skin menus? Ill get some done tonight. Oh and one GREAT thing I forgot which I didnt know was happening: if playing solo you can get downed and then revived by AI. Makes the game a little less frustrating so a good change in my mind.

[QUOTE=Andy101;32340606] if playing solo you can get downed and then revived by AI. Makes the game a little less frustrating so a good change in my mind.[/QUOTE]It was the same in Gears 2 on anything below hardcore difficulty.

I'm pretty sure the reviving thing has always been in solo campaign, but only on lower difficulties.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32340773]I'm pretty sure the reviving thing has always been in solo campaign, but only on lower difficulties.[/QUOTE] My bad then. I've usually played coop or solo insane and since it was locked first time round I went for HC.

Also I've heard beast mode only goes up to wave 12, which is a bit crap if I'm honest.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32342043]Also I've heard beast mode only goes up to wave 12, which is a bit crap if I'm honest.[/QUOTE] T'was mentioned before unfortunately

How come the Retro Lancer has recoil but the normal one doesn't? [editline]17th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=carcarcargo;32342043]Also I've heard beast mode only goes up to wave 12, which is a bit crap if I'm honest.[/QUOTE] Even though the round number is low, you have to admit it'll be fucking fun to play as the locust.

[editline]17th September 2011[/editline] Even though the round number is low, you have to admit it'll be fucking fun to play as the locust.[/QUOTE] Because the retro lancer is more powerful (which is why it shoots slower and has a ridiculous reticule spread)

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;32342306]Because the retro lancer is more powerful (which is why it shoots slower and has a ridiculous reticule spread)[/QUOTE] It's only really useful for close quarters hip firing

I don't know what the difference between Gold omen and Gold is, though.

[QUOTE=myalt22;32343056]I don't know what the difference between Gold omen and Gold is, though.[/QUOTE] Gold Omen is probably the gun with a golden crimson omen symbol on it.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32343108]Gold Omen is probably the gun with a golden crimson omen symbol on it.[/QUOTE] I'd rather have a character skin, but I suppose this is alright. What I really want though is this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cxCGkD6N1w&feature=player_detailpage[/media]

Is it going to be possible to get the gold retro lancer in the normal game? I didn't get to play the beta as long as I would have liked, and I only got to play enough matches to get Cole's Thrashball uniform.

Here's some menu screenies since I doubt any of you wants to see spoilers: [img]http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg734/scaled.php?tn=0&server=734&filename=j3viw.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640[/img] [img]http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg860/scaled.php?tn=0&server=860&filename=bkno.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640[/img] [img]http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg863/scaled.php?tn=0&server=863&filename=u1pln.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640[/img] [img]http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg814/scaled.php?tn=0&server=814&filename=63ay.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640[/img]
