[QUOTE=Zethiwag;30355130]Despite how many characters there will be for GOW3, I'm still going to play as A. Carmine.[/QUOTE] I've only played Dom in Gears 1 and 2, never played any other COG :v: Gonna keep it up with Gears 3
I like to play as Dom in Gears 2, he has the lowest head level - Carmine etc. seem to have their heads that stick out, same with Kantus.
[QUOTE=Legolas;30355214]I've only played Dom in Gears 1 and 2, never played any other COG :v: Gonna keep it up with Gears 3[/QUOTE] Baird represent.
Here's hoping Carmine lives.
fucking kick ass series
I know I've been saying this a lot but the offer to play through Gears 1 and 2 is still up for grabs :v:
[QUOTE=zpiscool;30348318]Using the sawn-off was the lulziest thing ever. I appreciate that some people here will absolutely despise the gun but my god I burst out laughing every time I pointed that thing at a bayonet-charger who thought he'd have an easy kill and watched him disappear into little chunks with the push of a trigger. I can see what the journalists meant when they said 'destined the be the most hated weapon in the game'.[/QUOTE] I think the shotgun is fun in MP merely due to how unpredictable it is. Depending on your ping and if you're the host, you can fire and they won't hit until like 5 seconds later, but other times they'll be instagibs. :v:
[url]http://gearsofwar.xbox.com/en/news/article/2011-06-e3-G4TV-horde2interview[/url] New interview of Horde 2.0 Aka this shit just got real.
Bumping with an incredibly awesome Horde mode 2.0 briefing. It's narrated by Anya's voice actor and the dialogue is kind of cheesy but that's to be expected from every game from Epic. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhW_raimWWQ[/media] Fucking awesome! I know what I'll be playing a lot of when I get my hands on the game. Reading the YouTube comments, even PS3 only users are jizzing buckets.
Just bought the 4th book (Coalition's End), and I hear Karen Traviss is writing a 5th now. They're actually pretty damn good, and do a great job transforming steroid abusers into actual relatable characters, as well as bridging the 2 year gap between 2 and 3. I know pretty much anything about the gears universe now.
I kind of enjoyed the beta, but I just don't have the energy to care about it. The whole 'dedicated server' thing for multiplayer may be the only thing I care about, to be honest.
I always play for the campaign or the coop which is great fun with a pal. The horde mode was also a nice addition.
yeah can't wait to play coop with my brother and mow down some shit in horde mode
I do not see any appeal to the multiplayer mode of Gears, it's nothing special beside of the cover mechanics. It's more useful in the campaigns and it's loads of fun to mow down locusts then some competitive match which is rather annoying and a hassle to play.
Dear god I'm praying they don't region lock the shit out of Gears 3. I still can't download ANY DLC for Gears 2. Not even my LE stuff. To be exact, I will super rage if Commander Dom will be region locked (he's the pre-order character from GAME (my favourite character))
The first time I ever went a competitive LAN match was for Gears of War 2. Long story short my friend punched another dude in the face because we lost
Multiplayer felt a little stale to me during the beta. I couldn't get into it. But I don't buy a gears game for multiplayer. I love horde mode, and the campaign should be as great as the last games.

It'll give you a code you put in the marketplace so you can unlock griffin on launch day.
I love the Gears of War franchise, played it since release of the first one. The beta was awesome and I will not leave the house this september.
20 days to go, people! This is gonna be huge
I don't know if I want to buy the season pass. On one hand it's fucking $30 (2400 ms points, around $30) but on the other hand it grants you all 4 map packs for around 33% off + liquid metal skins for all starting weapons (even though that camo/skin looks like crap)
Updated the OP with a couple new videos.
Horde looks sick.

I've always wondered why they never kept making this game for PC after the first one. I would most likely have bought 2 and would buy 3.

He was playing as grenadier and never took cover, when playing as the grinder he never cooled off his mulcher.
[QUOTE=GetBent;32159395]I've always wondered why they never kept making this game for PC after the first one. I would most likely have bought 2 and would buy 3.[/QUOTE] Well Epic just said piracy but I've still got hopes of 3 coming to PC. :dance:
Probably because Microsoft want's it Xbox exclusive or some bollocks.
I honestly hope they lower the amount of damage the retro lancer (and other assault rifles) do. That retro lancer fucks you up so fast you have no time to react and the sheer accuracy of the hammerburst when in ironsights mode...
