neok182 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 yeah, i think its too powerful from far away. btw when someone writes plancer, what rifle are they talking about? the retro? also, one of the ribbons say get bronze on all 5 starting (?) weapons, what are these? does this include the pistol? yeah it feels like the shotgun from gears 1/gears 2 no patches. Which was way to powerful, hence why they dumbed it down during 6 patches. Now gears 3 is going to need the same. The Plancer is the Pendulum Lancer, or the Retro Lancer. And the starting 5 are the Lancer, Hammerburst, Retro, Sawed off and Gnasher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IIISETIII Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 the game is retarded and i hate it Wow really, why? I think it's fantastic. I liked Gears and Gears 2 but so far this is just way better than both. Maybe it's because it's still new to me but I think Gears 3 is going to be amazing. Also the maps are two of the best they've ever done imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perxxxxx Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 maybe delete the stuff already downloaded? and try again. I've done everything that I can think of, basic Xbox restarts, cleared the cache. Deleted and re-downloaded the update(s). Cleared the cache again. For the best part of an hour I've just been trying to make it work. This isn't happening....

Lord Montymort Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Absolutely HATE this game. I loved Gears 1 and 2, but this...the only thing good about it is the Dedicated servers. Shotguns are still screwed beyond belief (still the "you shoot someone five times, they shoot you just once and yet you die" crap). Checkout is the worst map for any game ever. The people playing are useless cowards who instead of helping out will run away crying rather than fight a group of more than one enemy with you. Mantel kick can knock you over even when you're nowhere near the cover the enemy went over, which in turn equals auto-death. Getting your kills stolen is even easier and even more annoying because of the stupid hold button for x amount of time executions. New Rodie-Run gives me a headache. In short the beta better get better as new modes and maps unlock and people learn how to play because right now I'm considering canceling my pre-order.

Mega Mayo Man Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Lots of people saying that the Retro Lancer is shit, however I would go as far to say it's actually my favourite weapon in the beta BUT I only seem to kill when I'm not ADS. If you fire from hip it's really, really effective and I have took down 3 people charging at me whilst walking backwards doing this method. Maybe the haters should try it? It dows enemies in seconds! The new game modes should be interesting when they're released. I kept hating on the respawn countdowns when I first played, but I suppose it's actually the same as all other FPS who's kill count climbs, just reversed.

Ondu Kinuta Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I just started playing and saw that to get the Chrome Hammerburst I believe I need the rookie gear achievement from Gears 2. I have it but didnt get it online. (Played offline horde) Can I get it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrislyDW13 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I noticed that "Old Guard" metal is not unlocking, even though I've already got the Veteran Achievement in GEARS 2. WTF?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd070993 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm actually loving the Retro Lancer. Charging in Leeroy Jenkins style and stabbing your target in the gut is an oh so sweet feeling. Use it right, and it can be a real game changer. Unfortunately, online still seems to be a shotgun fest, so there are not many chances to use the bayonet, but still... Loving the beta so far (shame Portal 2 also comes out this week...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteroidalEagle Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I seen someone using Baird in the multiplayer, and the leaderboards for CTL and KOTH has a bunch of people playing it. Can someone explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the people who got early access with codes had the entirety of the beta unlocked for them until today. Yes, I know it's incredibly silly. If they wanted to test these new maps and modes, then surely Epic can just unlock them for everyone from the get-go? It's like taking candy from a baby, except the candy resembles the game modes and maps, and the baby resembles a bunch of men (and Anya) running around with over-powered shotguns.

KillerChris8814 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 So far playing the beta the only problem I've seen is the sawed off isn't consistant on damage. Really I shot a guy in the back of his head 3 times and once in the front of his head and he doesn't die yet he shoots me once in the leg with the same gun from further away and I die. Really, they need to be more consistant with the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xhunterrrr Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I am getting pissed off at the sawed-off shotgun. It is turning into the Gnasher of Gears 2. People just roll through your bullets and blast you once. They need to balance it a little more. Or making the stopping power of bullets a little better.

IXISHADOW Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I myself have not played the Beta yet... however I have heard numerous cases of a strange glitch going around. It states that the dedicated servers are down and it lists 0 players in social and ranked and then all of a sudden you can play on the Trenches and Old Town maps. Does anyone else have this issue to confirm the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Mayo Man Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I think I have played nearly 25 matches or so and I also have entered Old Town. It feels really familiar, I got stupid deja vu playing it and I don't know why. Unfortunately I had to quit out to get some food in me and haven't had such luck again since Checkout and Thrashball are getting annoying now but I really want to unlock Cole in Retail ASAP so I can chill lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCANEVALORE Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I find in most cases they have now made the Hammerburst completely useless. It's to slow at far away and less powerful up close i'd prefer the retro lancer up close if not using the Gnasher. Does anyone else think the hammerburst became crap or am I all alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGoogles Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I have the Bulletstorm Epic Edition and a beta code. How/where do I enter the code? It gives me no option to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xhunterrrr Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I have the Bulletstorm Epic Edition and a beta code. How/where do I enter the code? It gives me no option to do so. Did you use the code when you first played Bulletstorm to get the Epic Edition extras (like the leash)? If so, all you have to do is go to the Bulletstorm main menu and at the bottom is the Gears 3 MP Beta. Select it and it will ask you to download an update. Good to go!
