Ha the number of times i've been on a team which has been 3 vs 1 with no respawns left only for all of us to die as rather than simply use the sheer numerical advantage which would be a certain kill they just sit back and let you go in alone and then try and take all the glory alone.

You can tell when you are playing with or against a team as when myself, my brother and friends play a decent share of the games we will always win as we tell each other what we are doing/where we are going and keep in packs. You'd of thought by the 3rd game people would've learnt how to play the game.
 
I've played with some great teams, there's a fair few who really know what they're doing, a lot of gears 2 veterans. You are bound to get some clueless people though this early into a games life.
 
I will add some people for tommorow. I have been losing all day long until Wyrdo came on tonight and we stuck together. Then I started winning all the time. The only games we lost were with people wasting the advantage and rushing to death.

From the beta I've found the digger to be way way too overpowered. The splash damage needs to be smaller.

Shotgun range needs halving or the drop off reducing.

Also has anyone else had an issue where people join team death match and just spin. They have joined and likely taped over the analogue stick so they dont get booted for inactivity while going for the 90 games for the beta.

Bloody annoying and ruined a good win for us.
 
I've had that spinning player thing a few times. The offender has always received a not too polite message from me afterwards.
I've finally unlocked the gold retro lancer for retail. Just need to get the flaming gnasher now.
 
That spinning guy is definately boosting :o They put a rubber band on one of the analogue sticks so they don't get kicked for inactivity.

I'm also guessing you were playing unranked aswell since it will go straight into another match, meaning they can leave it overnight to get all the unlocks done.

Yeah I said to wydro that I thought that's what he was doing, what do you get a weapons skin?

90 Matches just for that, I personally think all the skins look crap!

Edit : It says beta unlocks but I can see some of them being unlocks with the special editions of the game.

You get character skins for playing a certain amount of matches in different game modes.
I've asked on the gears forums if they'll be a report button if you unlock characters the same way in the full game.

First game I try in a few days and I'm instantly put on the team that can't seem to do anything but wobble around and explode while throwing in the odd rolly polly now and again. At first it was me and 4 bots, but they were actually more useful then the idiots who replaced them. The enemy then spawned next to me and I rage quit :p

I'd be enjoying it much more if the enemy wasn't mass spawning up my arse all the time.

I enjoy the game, but the people who play it and the spawn system keep making me want to hate it :o
 
It even worse than Cod for playing on your own and that's saying something. When this is released and a full team of friends can play it will be even more pointless to play on your own. You will get bummed.

Playing in a group will be very easy against randoms not in a team. Wyrdo and I almost turned a game around on our own yesterday when we were the only 2 left and they still had 7 lives left by sticking together. In the end we had to settle for the draw.
