Gears of War 3

[Benstamania]

Playing through Gears 1 again. The Berserker part still puts me on edge... Not because it's difficult, because it's not... but something about it just makes me get to the edge of my seat until it's over, lol.

I know. Man, I would be happy with just one level of Horde mode from Gears 3 to be able to play in the time between the beta ending and Gears 3 coming out.

Hey Pat, longshot, but anymore beta codes? :P :P

Haha idk man, id have to print up more at work and considering iv printed up like 12 of those things, im not sure how much more i can risk. Maybe i can swindle another employee in to printing one up for me.

I loved that section. Really neat.

That 1st Berserker scene from GoW1 is a classic moment in gaming history.

Kinda disappointed they didn't make any appearances in Gears 2, although having Brumaks and Reavers etc was still pretty wicked.

Capture the Leader is up now, its pretty fun. Easily the most teamwork orientated mode.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

What, already? I thought it wasn't up until Monday? Isn't that when week 3 starts?

 

[jacobed]

Thats what I thought but I turned er on today and there it was

Unlockables and everything are available? Did it give you the new flaming weapon and count towards Baird and everything?

Yeah & it looks like they are making up for their absence in Gears 3 if the campaign footage is anything to go by. I hope Berserkers are in Horde mode too.

Cool, Guardian was probably my favourite multiplayer game mode from Gears 2 so I'm looking forward to this.

No new flaming weapon yet but yes it does count towards Baird and I unlocked the urban retro lancer which is 5 matches of Capture the Leader.

I really hate CTL.

Maybe it was just because my team sucked ass, but i wasnt having much fun with that one at all.

 

[Iceman]

Probably 'cause you're used to going on 23 match winning streaks in team deathmatch lol.

Lol. Probably.

Playing this game (and Gears 2) reminds me that I'm SO much better at playing 3rd person shooters online than I am a FPS. I often wonder why I even bother trying as hard as I do with FPSers.

 

[jacobed]

CTL you definitely need to be playing with good teammates or else you'll get destroyed

I played a couple matches today (thanks to the free code I got from Pat) & I have to say it's fantastic!
I didn't like the multiplayer in the first two Gears games (I loved the campaigns & Horde though) due to how most of the game modes only had one life & I'm an offensive player (in any game. Shooters, Fighters, etc...) & I need to rush out & get some kills to have fun. This game's multiplayer is right up my alley!

Hey, If I pre-order online at Gamestop can I cancel it after I've received the code? I know it's a d-bag thing to do, but I don't want to buy it if I don't like it.

Iv always been the opposite. In most 3PS i suck something fierce. Im doing a lot better here tho.

 

[AxlsAppetite]

Yea you can cancel.

Cool, i've heard of people doing it but never risked it myself. Though, what they say in this page kind of worries me.

Read the Promotional Items section.

Is that just to scare of people who would do that or is it true?

I didn't see anything. What are you afraid might happen?

 

[Benstamania]

So... do we even know what the Limited and Collectors editions will be?

Yea thats just to stop people from doing it. And hell, if they ask, say you never received a preorder code in the first place. I work there man, and i wouldnt tell any one they couldnt cancel their preorder.


But there is no need to cancel your preorder, because this game is freaking sweet.

Epic said they'll announce the two special editions at E3. Honestly, if the high cost edition is similar to the $100 edition of MK, I'll get it. I really regret not getting that version of MK, the bookends look great.
