Re: Gears of War 3 Codes came with Bulletstorm Also if you pre-order GoW3 at GameStop I know I should just go pre-order it because I'm gonna buy it but I was hoping someone had a code here they weren't gonna use.
Re: Gears of War 3 It's a good game, but having a choice to have the sawed off shotgun as your starting shotgun instead of the gnasher shotgun(original shotgun) is a terrible idea instead of balancing the two. Anyone wielding the sawed off will always win a close quarter shotgun battle with one shot unless they are a horrid shot. The bayonet charge is impossible to stop unless you down them from a distance the shotgun is useless to stop them. Some positives are you can look down the sights rather than just using the cursor over the shoulder aim which is much more accurate, and when you move while zoomed in with the sniper your aim cursor turns from a small circle to a expanding rectangle depending on how fast you are moving.
Re: Gears of War 3 So yeah, got my code last week and can't stop playing this even though there are only 4 maps. I forgot how much I love Gears multiplayer even though it's more like Shotguns of War than anything else. Can't wait for this to drop in Sept.
Re: Gears of War 3 how much longer does the beta last? I will take a code from someone who has any extra they got from Gamestop. Pms are welcomed.
Re: Gears of War 3 I have one more code that TheRandomOne sent me. I'll pm it to you if you still need one.
Re: Gears of War 3 I'm dumb. Where the hell do you go to put the beta code in to play? I've been searching on Xbox and I can't seem to find it.
Re: Gears of War 3 Hit the center X button on your controller to bring up the menu. Scroll all the way to the left to the Marketplace tab and then down to Redeem Code.
Re: Gears of War 3 Figure this can be the official trailer since we are going to need one on the video game board once the game is released. KW, change the title accordingly. Oh, and here is the campaign trailer. Gears of War 3 Campaign Trailer (E3)
So how did we all like the Beta? I thought it was fucking great. The power of the sawed-off got annoying at times but you could deal with it. Fucking hated the Old Town map but the other 3 were cool. The Trenches/Mine one could get a little lopsided though. Easy to trap a team in one of the spawn areas. I can't wait now. I've enjoyed both campaigns and really want to play this one and wrap it all up and would love to get down on some Multi with TMB.
I only played it once and wasn't all too into it, but then again I've never gotten into Gears when it came to the multiplayer. The campaign looks solid though.
It seems to me that the Gears MP has a severe learning curve. I remember when I first jumped into a MP match in Gears2 and got embarrassed over and over. But then, like 4 or 5 games in I got my first shotgun kill. Blowing that motherfucker to pieces like that was one of the coolest things ever. The high I got from that kill hooked me. Even though I may have only gotten like 1 kill a game for a long time I couldn't stop playing, trying to recreate that feeling form that first kill. Will probably be playing much more BF3 though, so.....
Opening cinematic. Fucking awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EQ-fQoDXwA&feature=player_embedded
I will waste so many hours playing this game. Loved the beta, a lot more like Gears 1 than 2 which is great
I love Gears!!! I remember when the 2nd one came out my friend and I played campaign all night and would go to school with no sleep. Good times.
4 more days! I haven't seen any story leaks/spoilers (and plese keep them to yourself if you have) but I kinda get the feeling that this might not have the happiest of endings. I mean, as far as GoW games go, I think this might be a pretty dark, sad finale
From watching the trailers it appears to be the same as the last book. I won't say what happens though. I do have to say this is one of the few games where I wouldn't be surprised to see a sad dark finale and be totally content.
Tomorrow muthafuckers! Here, have a free weapon skin on me! http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/P...d6f1358-55db-4421-98d7-0f148f1aa7ad?cid=SLink
I like the game right now. I'm running shit on people though. I went 20-1 and 15-0 in the last two games.
Enjoyed the final battle and ending Spoiler If not a little repetitive. Game was not much of a challenge on Hardcore difficulty
I haven't even touched it yet. I wasn't much of a fan of Horde mode in 2 because it just got repetitive for me. I still haven't gotten off the boat in campaign. But I am almost lvl 40 in versus, so there's that.
http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2011/09/20/gears-of-war-3-horde-guide-tips-for-surviving-to-wave-50/ TIP #1 - GO TO THE BATHROOM FIRST Making it from Wave 1 to Wave 50 with 5 people on the easiest setting, Casual, takes about 2 hours, assuming you don't end up dying repeatedly on a number of waves. There's nothing worse than making it to wave 43 and realizing the dog has to be walked. Don't be that guy. Pro-Tip: If you're just interested in earning the Horde achievement, the game saves your progress every 10 waves. If you completed the first 40 waves in a previous game, you can skip to Wave 41 from the start. You'll miss out on a medal, but you'll nab those 10 achievement points. TIP #2 - PLAY WITH 5 PEOPLE, IDEALLY FRIENDS Making it to Wave 50 with 4 people is doable but extremely difficult. Less than 4 is nearly impossible. So make sure you have a full group of 5 people playing. Even better, play with friends, as communication is key when it comes to upgrading defenses and sharing ammo boxes. Friends are also less liable to quit on you at the first sign of trouble...unless they really hate you. TIP #3 - UPGRADE, UPGRADE, UPGRADE What's that, you say? You can't build a turret yet? You need to personally unlock defensive emplacements in Horde mode by upgrading lower level emplacements. For example, you'll start with only the ability to build caltrops to slow Locust down. Repair the caltrops enough and you'll eventually earn the ability to build decoys and upgrade your caltrops into razor wire. Later level upgrades include turrets, auto-turrets and even a Silverback mech (as seen in the campaign). Earning these later upgrades may require multiple playthroughs of Horde, and unlocks are persistent. I've played through about 120 waves so far and I've only unlocked the first three items, for example. TIP #4 - IDEAL MAP: OVERPASS If you're looking to increase your odds of making it to Wave 50, play on the map called Overpass. It's the map that has the giant, broken stairway in the middle and two city streets on the right and left. When the game starts, run up the stairway and buy the Command Tower at the top. This is where you'll be upgrading the majority of your defenses. The benefit of this map is obvious. When each wave starts, you'll be able to use turrets and long-range rifles to take out the smaller Locust. As things get harder, the Locust will be funneled up the stairway, making them easy pray for the turret at the top of the stairs. Once you've got a solid defense on the stairs, you should consider buying the Command Towers to the left and right of the stairs. These will allow you to build razor wire at the very bottom of the stairs, slowing and damaging any Locust who try to come into your base. Don't buy any of the defenses that are beyond the stairs, though. You'll need every dollar to keep your base in working order. TIP #5 - CHALLENGES, WEAPON DROPS AND BOSS WAVES Every once in a while, Horde mode will give your team a challenge. These involve mini-objectives like "Get 8 execution kills in this wave" or "Make sure no one dies in this wave." Completing a challenge nets everyone in your team some bonus cash. It'll also cause weapon boxes to spawn, indicated by a dollar sign on the HUD. DO NOT OPEN THOSE BOXES...yet. Most random guns on the ground will disappear after the end of a wave. Not so with weapon boxes, which will stick around until you use them. Since they generally have a handful of super weapons inside, you'd do well to wait until a boss wave (Wave 10, 20, 30, etc.) before cracking one open. Pro-Tip: One of the weapons that drops from the weapon crates is the Vulcan Cannon. This weapon requires two people to use it effectively. Basically one person grabs the heavy machine gun while another person grabs the ammo box. The two players will be tethered together but, so long as the person with the ammo box keeps hitting X, the person with the machine gun can just keep firing. It's a great way to take out large bosses, but it requires consistent communication between the two players. I'd add that it should be decided among the group where the initial base is going to be, before the timer starts, instead of one person just will-nilly deciding for themselves.
