Was it roll in, 1 shot kill, roll out in GoW1?

Yes.

Known as lame...Quickly followed by quiting the game or was in my case especially when every one on the opposing team did it

Everyone does it now, the only difference now is that when I do it, it actually works unlike in GoW1.

It's just stupid that when I'm surrounded by 3 people I can mash A and a random direction, pop up and kill one, and repeat. Chances are I will kill 2 of them before I die and occasionally a third.

There's some new stupid stuff that's been added too, like a charging instant kill move when you use the old lancer. People have randomly rolled around a corner when I'm using it and they get impaled.

Just got hold of the beta today, initial impressions are good but I'm not a big lover of the TD mode. KotH is much better, although the beta is chock full of noobs and playing is a frustration at the moment.

Anyone fancy getting a decent couple of teams together?

Yeah I'd be up for that.

The gnasher isn't overpowered but it's range is too great. Over medium distance you can beat somebody using the lancer.
The chainsaw is annoying as chuff now! Once it's revved there's no stopping it so you've just gotta hope you can down somebody before they get to you.

I can get one shot kills with the gnasher. I'm sure I've stopped chainsaws by shooting the person waddling over to me revving it.

biron_w · 26 Apr 2011 at 00:26

I've had plenty of one shot kills with the gnasher at close range. I don't mind that but it's annoying when it has as much range as a lancer.
And you can stop the chainsaw from being revved but once it is revved it doesn't lower until they're downed.

Love this, my friend for me a code. Deffinate pre order based off what I have played.

Wyrdo · 26 Apr 2011 at 08:20

Gnasher range is no where near that of a lancer

But I do agree its range is too great and could do with tweaking.

I did have fun yesterday against people that were determined to use Gnashers the whole time and I could just take them down across the map with a Lancer and they're still trying to hit me with a damn shotgun.

BEN_UK · 26 Apr 2011 at 09:57

Add me im up for playing in a decent team, BEN 01UK

Sutters · 26 Apr 2011 at 09:57

Just got my preorder code, woohooo finally got something decent to play.

Make sure you let epic know what needs tweaking on their beta forum.

I know the range isn't as great but it's still too far. I was getting downed and killed by it from a ridiculous distance yesterday :mad:

Game plays so much better! My only problem is right now is the people I get paired up with.

Edit: Yep, **** that I'll wait until my mates are on. People are more interested in camping for a weapon instead of helping to capture and they just love to stand there and dribble while you're downed next to them.

Overall decent game so far, but it's full of morons and it's not the sort of game where you can carry your team.

Yep, that's the only real issue I've had which is why I haven't played a great deal over the last week. Been waiting for more people to get on it.
