Gears of War 3!!! - Page 8

I guess. I don't really care about points and would rather just have a fun, competitive game that goes down to the wire.

Tons of fun playing Capture the Leader and then we switched it up to TDM. I had one of the so called "greasiest" moments last night on Thrashball. We were pushing them back and back into their spawn and I knew we were about to swap spawns. So I aimed my mortar back to the other spawn's exit and launched, the moment they stepped out of their spawn two of them were instantly killed. I admit, I felt kind of bad about it. But then I didn't...

We were in party chat so I couldn't hear what they were yelling at the end of the game but their mics were going off like crazy. We won that round with 12 reinforcements left.

Points that are the only thing that count in KOTH so how could it come down to the wire if you aren't contributing?

He didn't say he was talking about KotH. I'm with him, I don't really care about points as long as I'm having fun. I loved the first Gears game and only played public games where there were no points/ranks etc. The gameplay experience was so good that I kept playing it hour after hour though.

He quoted my post about KOTH and replied to it directly. The KOTH gametype is 100% based on points, so I would assume that you wouldn't play it either.

Seriously?


You rack up points as an individual for breaks and captures. Your team earns points for each second the objective is held. They are two different things. I've had games with 15 captures and a ton of breaks and my team still gets annihilated. That's not fun, but I sure got a lot of points.

Not sure if you noticed, but the game also announces the spawn swaps. When the announcer says something about enemy reinforcements, it means they swapped spawns.

Really? This I did not know. I just thought they announced every once in a while that they were spawning, thanks for the info!

BTW, check this out, awesomeness!!!

Seriously what? This is a team based game, but some gametypes are obviously more team based. Those gametypes are obviously not for you.

I rack up individual points by playing the mode the way it is meant to be played, but captures help the team get points and breaks prevent the other team from getting points for those few seconds, even if I don't manage to defeat them.

I don't even see the point to your original argument. I complained that people play one gametype like it was another, and you replied that you don't like to play competitively. #1: Why are you playing a competitive gametype then? Perhaps single player is for you. #2: Don't pick that gametype if you don't know how to play it either.

I think you guys are talking about two different types of points: game XP points vs. KotH match points...

I thought I differentiated the two pretty clearly....

That guy did an awesome job on the lancer.

I had a "LOL" moment last night. Playing with a group of 5 of us on Oldtown, I've got the Boomshot and my buddy is next to me with his Retro Lancer. I'm hidden and he's out in the open, we hear an enemy charging up his Torque Bow. Torque Bow guy pops out and my buddy starts shooting him, I'm still hidden. My buddy downs him right as he gets stuck with said Torque bolt and is killed. Two more enemies run out to pick up their fallen comrade and that's when I pop out and shoot my Boomshot. Triple kill!

I seriously didn't mean to use him as bait, it just sorta happened!

I was playing capture the leader last night and the leader for the other team got on the railings in the middle of checkout and then he was on top of the couch in Old Town. It sucked because after you down him, you don't get the option to grab him because he's above you, but I have no idea how he was getting to these places.

Anyone else run into this glitch?

The beta is fun, the game types are good times.

Having fun, but dang shotguns of war is how the MP play is out there. :-)

Cheers.

Anyone seen their buddy tokens yet?

Wow, there's an influx of noobies on now, I had three games in a row where I went better than a 4:1 kill ratio on TDM.

MWAHAHA, stat padding for a beta that will be gone in 6 days!!

id help u out cept no 1 here helped me out with a beta code so i cant sorry and i do have 2 extra codes left over

Its not looking like im gonna get my internet back before the beta is over. I havent been able to play it since the 27th when a tornado wiped out half of the city I live in. I had another code emailed to me the other day if anyone is still wanting one.

Did you not read the post 4 or so up offering you one if you PM them? People are offering them up as they get them. Jason is a good guy and contributes to the forums positively...if you have codes sitting around he definately deserves one.

Strange thing happened last night on King of the hill. We got into a room on the COG side and it said 2 wins and Locust had 0. I think the score board had a glitch because we still played 3 rounds. Sawed-off and Retro-Lancer owns! I have a few more games I'll unlock Cole train on retail.

Wow, that's a mentality that'll guarantee good things in your future. No one gave you a code earlier because no one had one, and there's an entire thread now with people posting them up.

GamePimp, I gave all of mine out but one of them might not be used, let me check with the guy I sent it to and if he doesn't want it I'll shoot it your way.


Sawed-off + Retro do own, although I find myself using the standard Lancer more and more often lately. Mostly because the chainsaw is still extremely handy in certain situations, moreso than the Bayonet Charge (which, granted, is a lot more fun). Retro hits like a ton of bricks though, great for stopping shotgun rushes and such.

I honestly think they need to nerf the Sawed Off. It's just too effective, I use it almost all the time and it's tough NOT to get a kill with it. That is, except for this morning where hit detection seemed to be off like crazy with it, but that's still a rare occurance.
