Gears of War 3 Dated (Official blah blah)

I might pop into Argoose tomorrow and get a turbo pad. Am I right in thinking that it's just a case of getting to level 20 in a private hoarde match, failing and then just leaving the pad on A turbo to continue afer you fail the wave?

Yep, you can do it from whatever wave you like. I used mutators to rapidly get to level 40 (for more starting cash) then just kept failing.

I'd say do the first 9 levels with mutators on hardcore or insane then hit A on the turbo pad and check it again in 3-5 hours. Try not to let the money get too high as some people have had issue. Get to a couple of billion, job done.

I really like the new maps. They're a lot better than the previous maps. Although I suspect Escalation will be a complete pain in the arse in TDM.
Not happy about Execution/Warzone being on the same playlist. I don't like Warzone.
Oh,and you won't get dedicated servers now if you haven't bought the latest DLC :eek: http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/878522-No-DLC-No-dedicated-servers-Seriously

Escalation always worked well in TDM because the power weapons where at the bottom. Plus as I found out tonight the angles to be hit from below work very well.

I do think it looks poor though compared to how it looked in Gears 1, it's way too bright.

Link for servers not working? What did it say exactly? I can't blame them, I'd buy an elite membership if it gave me dedicated servers.

Basically if you haven't bought DLC then the only mode you can play that has servers now is the Players Choice. Otherwise you get a message saying that because you haven't bought DLC you'll only play games with a host.
This is despite the fact it says on the case that you get dedicated servers with this game. Which means if you buy this game brand new now you will have to pay more for servers.
And Epic are also deleting all threads about this now on their forums. Clearly they know they're shafting people but they don't want anybody to know :rolleyes:
 
I can understand the frustration but basically you still have dedicated servers, players choice. Naturally we have come to a crossroads in xbox live gameplay.

They either had to keep giving the DLC maps to other players for free and anger the sub payers or split them up.

Personally I don't mind paying for dedicated servers by way of an elite membership or season pass. I do though think that Xbox live should then become free and other than trial periods you pay for those servers. I'd be happy with that.

After playing Gears this year on dedi I just have no stomach for P2P anymore. Someone has to pay the cost and why should people who are not contributing get equal priority over subscription payers?

A tough one, but who would you keep happy at the end of the day the people paying more or let the others keep freeloading on DLC maps and upset the people paying the bills.

Interesting to see how they progress from here as clearly there's no place for P2P in online shooters anymore.
 
You're missing the point though - it clearly says on the box that you get dedicated servers.
Nowhere does it say you'll have to pay extra. Even if you bought this game brand new today you'd still have to pay extra.
I don't mind paying extra for servers but they shouldn't say you'll get them and then say it'll cost more.

Didn't you say 'players choice' had dedicated servers?

It's not really that different to how it was before, ranked had priority on the dedicated and you could find yourself in a p2p game.

If you have players choice then I suppose they did that to protect themselves with the comment 'dedicated servers' on the box.

So no you don't need to pay extra.

Is it perfect, hell no. What would you prefer?

Giving season pass stuff to non subscribers to keep everyone together or provide the servers as they have?
 
Gah, even the new maps haven't reignited my interest in this game. Had a quick go yesterday and re-upped but switched it off after 10 minutes. :(
 
Apart from escalation only Slab interests me from a horde point of view. The other two are pretty meh. I will re-up once more probably over the next year.
