I've got to 37 on Normal, then everyone quit
I just managed to get to 41 before I had to quit. It's just too goddamn hard (for little old me) without any mutators. It took whole clips just to down a single Locust and thus ammo was gone almost straightaway.

Interesting weapons stats. In ranked most downs and kills are with the lancer. In quickmatch it's the gnasher. The sawn off isn't as used or getting anywhere near as many kills.
They have also reduced the range as of today on the sawn off to less than the gnasher.

Magical isn't it, how everyone was saying "waaaah, the sawn off ruins the game, EVERYONE uses it for cheap kills", when it actually transpires it's really actually not the case!
Still, I welcome the sawn off reduction - does get a tad annoying when people just camp around the corner!

If any of the weapons need changing it's the Hammerburst, it's far too under powered in comparison to the other 2 rifles. You can only down and kill 1 person per clip where as the other 2 rifles can get atleast 2 downs/kills before needing to reload. The Gears 1 Hammerburst was great and actually worth picking up and using, where as in Gears 3 there is really no point in picking it over the other 2 starting rifles.
Agreed the Hammerburst in GoW3 is really underpowered. It needs to have the damage upped to that of the Retro Lancer.
Lancer = Rapid Fire, Medium Recoil, Weak.
Retro Lancer = Medium Fire, High Recoil, Powerful.
Hammerburst = Slow Fire, Low Recoil, Powerful.
I swear you used to be able top pop peoples heads with the Hammerburst in previous gears like with the sniper rifles. =/

I don't think the Hammerburst is particularly weak. Yes, only 1 kill per mag, but then it does have a mag half the size of the lancers. It will down and kill someone a lot faster at range than either lancers. Get an active reload with it and it rips people apart.
