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...



they are powerful, yes. but the gnasher overpowers the sawed off ANY day of the week, unless youre really good. the gnasher can snipe in gow3. trust me, ive basically sniped a few people w/ my gnasher, at distances WAY outside a shotguns range.

the sawed off is powerful, thats for dam sure. BUT. only at REALLY REALLY close ranges xD you have to be right at them to use it effectively.

I know what your saying, I have seen the weapons used more than everyone on this thread playing combined... but nothing will get changed unless the weapons are used and data is received based on gameplay. So play with the weapons you like and use and we will see what happens on september 20th. Yay!

idk man, aidan (da1337nesmonstr) is like up in the top 1000 people, if im not mistaken. greg isnt that far behind him, either. so i think everyone combined, except maybe them xD cause they obviously play a LOT lol

but yea, itll be interesting to see what epic does/doesnt do w/ certain things. altho, honestly, can somebody PLEASE explain how the fuck i use the digger launcher? like how do i know where/when it's gonna pop up n splode? honestly, i kinda wish you had to hit RT AGAIN for it to pop up. imo, thatd be easier. but, maybe thats just me. maybe someone whos good w/ it can explain it to me?

The digger has issues, especially in high lag situations, it is known. The digger is not supposed to explode until it reaches head height. But I find it easier to lob a digger shot into the air and have it catch the player off guard. Never fire a digger directly into the ground. Plus it looks awesome when you fire a digger shot into someones chest.

And I appreciate what your saying when people are in the top 1000 of the leaderboard but no one will have more hours spent playing the beta compared to how many days, nights and weekends I have been testing it... so yes I have an idea. :cool:

really? i havent tried that....idk. im not a fan of the digger, honestly. its just weird to me. i like the longshot, when i can get it. are they gonna have any of the other new weapons anytime during the beta? or are those gonna be unavailable until the full game?

lol, i s'pose that is a good point. an actual/pro(i think youre a professional) beta tester should/would have the most hours out of EVERYONE who plays it

Well I would not consider myself a professional at my job because its just that a job. But being a pro gamer would be interesting...

Well several of the guys on this thread have gotten early access codes and have played on all 4 of the maps. To my knowledge the weapons on the map are not going to change during the BETA.

But I agree, I am definitely a longshot player at heart but when there is a digger on the map I will gladly pick it up.

I just wish I had the time to play the BETA... too busy with work. Hope everyone is enjoying it.

Let's hope they do these "Easter Eggs" when the retail game comes out. I'd love to see a santa hat etc.. on my COG/Locust.
