Unlock Thrashball Cole then play 10 matches as him to unlock him.
If you play a match every week you'll unlock flaming weapon skins and you get to keep them as well.

Cool! No idea how I unlock him but I'll keep playing and see what's up

90 Games + 100 kills with the gold lancer.

Hardest part is the 90 games, took ages, TDM seems to be the fastest mode to get the games in.

Then do KOTH to get a 100 easy kills, took me about 3 games to get the 100.

Thanks mate

Ooo, didn't know there was a beta. Are codes still available?

I miss racially aware gaming.

Yeah I'm going to try and get all the unlockables done this week if I can, been slacking so far - haven't even done 50 games yet

Tonight?

Has anyone turned the speed and sensitivity up on the controls, I find them a little slow and was wondering what settings others are using.

I think there was a quote by Cliffyb saying about sensitivity.

Generally developers dumb it down by 1/4 to make it more accessible, so increase it by that amount and that's what sens you should be playing at.

Yeah will be up for some games this evening, I haven't touched the sensitivity actually but could do with turning it up a bit.

How long is the beta running for? If anyone has a spare code I would appreciate it.

However I do have some rock band drums now so should play some GH. Only £9 in HMV

Cheers Pike I will turn it up a tad, I tend to look down the sights and it's far to slow on default for shotgun for me.

Usual time from after 7.30 when the boy is in bed.

Sick of playing the Gears of War 3 against the unwashed masses? Microsoft and Epic Games have you covered, with a unique promotion that'll run during the final week of the game's multiplayer beta. On May 8, Microsoft will email every beta participant who's completed at least one match with a code they can use to invite a friend to join the fun.

According to Destructoid, additional codes will be made available to gamers who do any of the following, up to a maximum of five invite codes --
Buy Gears of War through Xbox Live's Games on Demand. Alternatively, buy any piece of Gears DLC or Gears avatar stuff.
Clock up over 20 hours in the Gears of War 3 beta.
Buy a 12-month Xbox Live Gold subscription.
Have over 100 hours clocked up on any Gears of War game to date.
You've got until May 4 to do this, and on May 8, as the final week of the beta begins, Microsoft will begin sending out invite codes.

Should be some codes kicking around on Sunday !

If anyone has a spare freebie who wouldn't mind sharing then I would be very grateful

I've turned my aiming and turning speed up to 7. Works fine for me.

dannyjo22 · 3 May 2011 at 21:03

I've gone upto 7 and 7 when scoped and it's still too slow for me when tracking the rolly polly ****s. I still think the shot gun range is too far.

It is a dominating tactic, but it seems intentional as they've had it like that for 3 games now.

It's bloody annoying when I seem to have roadie run half the map to get away and the thing keeps chipping away at me.

I can't play this on my own anymore it's filling me with rage, which is unusual in a game. No one ****ing sticks together, they run off to get try to get kills. In the rare moments I think someone has my back they leggit.

With a team this game would be so easy to win just by sticking on one spot and flooding back to that area but the retards split up to the four corners of the map. Or people playing KOTH never even try to get the points.

If anyone is actually interested in playing a team game with someone who won't run off on their own to die hit me up with a request/invite

Rackerz · 3 May 2011 at 23:00

I'll play with you, ****es me off when people run off as well ..

Kreeeee · 3 May 2011 at 23:12

I'm looking to play with some decent people, normally just play with Alrik.

biron_w · 3 May 2011 at 23:32

I'm half decent
