Ms.Queen_E Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I've notice the beta for a while and I want to get it, how how can I get it and play it too? Do I go to the marketplace to download it? Do I have to go buy it from the store? Or do I have to pre-order it? I would like to play it and would somebody give me the info on how to get it. PLEASE!

Pre order Gears of war 3 from gamestop and they should give you a code if they still have. If not follow epic employees on Twitter they give out codes occasionally. If that fails buy a brand new Bulletstorm Epic Edition you can still get in that way as long as the code is inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceOfThralls Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I got the bulletstorm epic edition and I still missed out on the flaming hammerburst. Only because I forgot it because of Mortal Kombat. Thats sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quid Squid Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Best way i've found for getting retro lancer kills is in KOTH against all the shotgun whores. Think I wracked up 30 kills in one match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediumMelanin Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 @Ms_Queen_E - Where the hell have you been for the past 6 months?! Lol, you can get a beta code by pre-ordering from GameStop, and from BulletStorm's Epic Edition (if there's still any). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braiiins Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I've only been playing for a few days and I'm almost at 90 matches played. I hope so much that a lot of the stuff will transfer to retail and you won't need to reacquire/unlock all the stuff that's not beta exclusive, but deep down I know that little to none of it will transfer. Retro kills aren't as hard as I had imagined, I had unlocked the execution for all the other weapons so I decided to start using the retro lancer about 10 matches before the gold skin unlocked. I have a question that isn't really relevant in this thread, but what's the hammer of dawn? Is it not in the beta? I have used every other weapon but haven't used that one. If it is in the beta, anyone mind telling me where I can find it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neok182 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 OH MY GOD. read the first post. Gold lancer, Thrashball cole, and all 4 flaming weapons carry over if you unlock them. nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxedodave Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Unlocking golden retro lancer in retail: 90 matches, and then 100 kills with the retro lancer Since the 100 kills won't count until 90 matches has been played, can't u just join a public match and then AFK until the 90 matches, win or lose, stats won't carry over....

If you AFK, you will be booted from the match. If you try to go AFK but still move around (aka, not actually playing) and get video taped doing so, you risk a ban and not getting anything to carry over. Best solution? Just play the beta. It's damn good fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deyankees1 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 and the golden lancer??? OH MY GOD. read the first post. Gold lancer, Thrashball cole, and all 4 flaming weapons carry over if you unlock them. nothing else. Not to confuse people you guys should write Retro Lancer.

DTF INFERNO Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 It says in game that you can get the Flaming Hammerburst by playing a match in week 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkhound64 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 It says in game that you can get the Flaming Hammerburst by playing a match in week 4. Its meant to say Flaming Gnasher, so its best to just ignore that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubG3nius Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 So today you unlock the Flaming Saw'd of Shotty. Better do it, I haven't played the beta for a couple of days, maybe should hop online again today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xhunterrrr Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Just unlocked the Retro Lancer golden weapon skin. Any suggestions on game types that work well for getting the 100 kills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KriugerisLT Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Just unlocked the Retro Lancer golden weapon skin. Any suggestions on game types that work well for getting the 100 kills? All game types... lol The gun is so OP, that getting those 100 kills was incredibly easy. Retro lancer > all... (Sigh) I hope they balance it properly, because it's annoying how every person in GoW3 beta is using this gun only.

Now, if people would just stop stealing my kills... Ghasher is only effective from close range, while the Retro lancer stops you dead in your tracks from close to mid range. I had a ton of instances where i ran up to a guy with a shotty, he freaked out, started blindfiring everywhere and downed me in a blink... That's cheap bullshit right there. But enough about this, wrong thread Play KoTH. You can get a ton of kills in that mode. My record is 102 kills in one match of King of the Hill. After that kind of intense war my fingers were hurtin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Cabbie Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Sorry if this has been asked before but, I have played 50 matches and unlocked Thrashball Cole, and selected him as my character but when i get into the match he is not my player. Is it because i have to have 70 matches instead or am i just doing something wrong?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pause in game select Multiplayer and switch it to Cole. Then next game you will be playing as Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often switch between all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
