Gears of War 3 Dated (Official blah blah)
- Thread starter randal
- Start date
After playing some 300+ KOTH games I'm improving with the Gnasher thankfully. I can semi reliably 1 hit gib someone from close range now which at least gives me a chance.
-edit-
Also, whats with all the abuse recently? Every other game i get some guy messaging me smack because " you can only <swear>ing win because you keep pulling <swearing> host, <swearing> noob!"
Like i have a choice in the matter?

Hey Guys,
New to the forum here =) seems like an awesome place btw
So anyway yeah personally I find the game great and if you know how to deal with the annoying sawn off noobs and those ever annoying situations were you think you should've "Owned that noob" then the online aspect of things is pretty good too.
Outside of Matchmaking Beast Mode is my favourite playlist. Theres something about running around as a berserker which just makes things that much more appealing.
Anyway with the release of this weekends Gnasher playlist I have been on this game pretty much all the time over this weekend.
Thing is I dont really have many friends on Xbox. This would mainly be because I hated gears 2 online and quit xbox for a year or so. Most of my friends then as such removed me haha. Being a Gears 1 veteran myself I am very happy with this game but would love more people to get on this game lol
So add me if your interested.
XBL Tag Is Grufftapestry01 Also please be kind enough to message me beforehand so I dnt outright decline your request
Thanks =)

Its because ranked is supposed to be harder, from my experience its actually easier lol I find it lags less
Once you hit 50 it no longer matters
hit 50 on it today and am giving it a rest, the dlc doesn't bother me as i will be on bf3 soon
Because the ai seems to be able to run forward and take huge damage before they can go down. There must also be difficulty and damage multipliers depending on how many players you have.
Wyrdo finished the last boss on insane on his own, as soon as we did it together it was almost impossible. As I've said before they seem unable with this current console power to make a balanced difficulty depending on how many players they have and multi skill levels for 4 player.
We literally couldn't put enough bullets in the queen to stop her on 2 player insane.nthey should have kept it 2 player max. 4 player adds very little to the game.

I've done that final boss solo and with 4 players, and it is certainly 'easier' solo.
The hard part on solo is that it's one hit death, and if you die you have to start all over again. But once you get in a rhythm it's not that bad.
4 players, the damage you have to put out goes up massively, also it takes a lot more HoD's to finish her off.
Solo it only took one HoD after knocking her off the tower.
4 players it took 4!
So, any reason given for a nerf across the board?
Less than a day to go now til Horde Command Pack DLC.
I can't work out if the new Horde fortifications ONLY work on the three new maps or whether they work on the existing maps, too. From reading the Epic forums, it's unclear. But it seems the humans in Beast can only use the new upgrades on the three new maps.
