I think I'm addicted to this game :D

I've played almost non-stop since I got it on Friday. I'm currently ranked at number 451 in the world for Public Team Death Match with 1700+ kills, and am level 25.

So I guess you could say I'm a pretty big Gears fanboy.

Bro, I don't know what game you were playing but I was destroying with the Hammerburst.


The problem I have with the Hammerburst is that it requires you to aim, and it takes skill to kill people with it, so it's definitely not the assault rifle for me. :p

I definitely agree that if you have some skillz, you can clean house with the Hammerburst.

I just noticed that one of the medals is "Old Guard"; earned Vetaran Gear achievement in GoW2.

The strange thing is that it says "achievement". Now, I do have the achievement, but it seems that
this level reset reset issue is affecting GoW3 in a way now.





Here's my war journal for GoW2, all the stats for the DLC were reset, and also ALL level progress.


If there's an achievement about getting all the medals... :mad:

So many no life assholes on this beta right now. Played with MAG for a bit last night and this guy on our team kept taking our kills. We'd down someone and go to execute and this guy would either snipe them or run in and finish them off. Every damn time.

That sawed off is most likely going to be nerfed.



the SAWED OFF, nerfed? are you crazy? that thing is almost underpowered. reload takes ages, and you have to be RIGHT THERE at them to kill. are you sure youre not talking about the gnasher? it needs a lil nerfing.

honestly, i wish the sawed offs range was a little bit longer. i mean, honestly. in the "brothers to the end" trailer (the one that used heron blue by sun kil moon, i believe it was the first official trailer) marcus hit that locust w/ a sawed off at decent distance. i mean, he was still close, but he killed him and he wasnt RIGHT there. in the game you have to get RIGHT there, and thats annoying. it seems like it could be a good weapon, but its just got those 2 big things holding it back (range and reload)

On that subject, TDM is almost like Horde in a way. I had several people taking kills, but I had to stop getting mad. Hell, there for a while I just downed the guy and moved on....knowing that someone was going to steal it. With all those lives to give there were plenty of others that needed my attention.


But yeah, I took three days off from work to play the Beta and holy shit snacks was it worth it. I can't wait til next week when I bunch of new people pick it up. We'll have a new game type, map and noobs for the harvest. GOW 3 FTW!

So IGN has an interesting article about what weapons the pros use for gears 3 BETA. You guys should check it out and laugh at the incredibly common knowledge tactics that are given. Such examples include "spawn camping" and "cover the entire map" lol

I skimmed though the article looking for those. That's my actual setup.

I guess after Gears 1 and 2, those weapons are still easier for them to use.

its actually a rather nice set up, quite frankly. the retro has pretty good power (i mean you cant get TOO far with it, but how often are you shooting at a good distance?) a really nice execution, and the sawed off, when you learn how to use it, can be VERY effective sometimes.

The reason why they all love the lancer/hammerburst and gnasher is because they are pros. When you are a pro you are forced to play with certain weapons IE just the lancer and the gnasher. Because these guys are so hardcore they might feel either cheap or over powered using the sawed off or retro.

Addendum, I am not calling you cheap if you use the retro and sawed off but these two weapons are pretty powerful...
