Didn't see a thread on this. Anyone playing this? I love this series and the beta makes me hungry for the 3rd. IT seems like perfection of Gears...I love it.

haven't played it yet. Might get it due to psn being down.

It rivals anything that is full retail. It is what I want as a Gears player.

SO like the U2 beta...haha

U2 was good, U3 should be great.

I just started playing two days ago. Completed around 30 or so matches so far.

AND its awesome!!! The best multiplayer of the series by a country mile and more. For one thing it actually works

But i am a total noob at this game, never really played MP on gow 1 and 2, so i have to start from scratch against some veteran gears, not enjoying being used as a practice dummy for all the execution moves in the game (at least i am getting to see all of them LOL)

So tom's Hair, you got the beta code?

Cheers to that brother

Can't wait for jun 28th, as much as i like gears, Uncharted is my favorite game

Yeah, I have been playing so much, I need a break. Havnt online gamed like this in a few years..other then BC2. I was a vet in Gears 1, but Gears 2 online I didn't like, but this 3rd version is what I want! The maps are so well made. Try playing King of the Hill...it will help you practice. I don't like the Deathmatch mode. I want Execution and Warzone back. Deathmatch can be so unbalanced. The end of a match can be 11 respawns to 0 if one bad player or two is on the other team. Not good. They need to limit the number of individual deaths, not team deaths.

Limiting the number of deaths for an individual is a great idea, especially on public matches, since most ppl are strangers anyway, so not much time to work as a team.

But keeping it as it is will be nice when playing as a team with a full party in ranked matches. You'll have to work as a team to protect your weaker players and target the enemies weaker players, could make for some intense matches.

Been playing only TD's so far, will give KOTH a go today. Thanks for the advice

True about the teamwork aspect, I just dont have a group yet...been playing solo and that is tough.

So, did u get the beta buddy?

went through gamestop.com instead, and they say 2-3 days for them to process it

Well I have the beta now. surprised im actually good at it. I was never any good at 1 or 2. After playing 2 matches of KoTH I have 71 kills and 29 deaths. (the last match I went 58 and 18)

Got my 90 matches! Now I need 100 retro kills.

Hate to be that guy, but the sawed off is easy to defend. Don't get to close to the opponent and it won't kill you. It's part of the game, maybe nerf the spread but in terms of the effectiveness, it adds a new element to the strategy. Maybe make it a pick up weapon.

That's the thing, GOW is a close quarters game. It's all about the shotties mostly. It sucks because maybe I wanna go get the sniper on Oldtown. I run around and start picking it up, then some dude who's hiding behind the pillar comes and rapes my face. It takes almost no skill to kill people with that gun. I like to get in close, most of the time I do go in when they're there in cover, but then BOOM Sawed Offed.

Another thing is when you down someone, you go to kill them, and then BAM sawed off in the back by some camper with a sawed offed. They should just remove the gun TBH. It doesn't belong in Gears in any way shape or form.

I get what your saying. Gnasher is better for all. I wouldnt mind seeing the game get rid of it.

i dont like the sawed off. gnasher is way better imo

Yeah. I mean, I can see how it is easy to defend, when they start running to you, but say you know they're around a corner and you want to kill them thinking they have a Gnasher. You go around and "BAM" dead. I'm the close quarters kind of guy, so I do like to go around corners and shoot as my Gnasher skills are better than the average player, but the Sawed off completely eliminates any chances of killing him.

i get most of my gnasher kills through stealth. they dont see me coming. they are shooting at my team mates than BAM they have been "gnashed" to pieces
