**Official Thread** Gears of War: Ultimate Edition :CHAINSAW: (1 Viewer)

IMO, Gears has an extremely steep learning curve and a pretty dedicated fanbase of hardcore players. It's very unforgiving for new players. I was abysmal when I got Gears 2 and threw myself into the fire. I'm still not very good compared to the FBG elite but if you stick it out, it's an extremely rewarding multiplayer experience. I have never played another MP shooter a fraction of what I've played the Gears series.

:chainsaw: Played some this weekend, i'm still sorry at this game. I vary between slightly above average to abysmal. I even have semi-respectable internet these days. Still the most fun multiplayer around around though. See you guys when this launches. Also, its much like pool for me. I do better than normal with a few drinks, after that it is a very steep cliff.

I will say this, if you play with our solid players here you can just follow them around on the map and play bodyguard. You can also revive them and give them weapons that you go and risk your life to get for them that you are unqualified to use and not risk your uber player's respawns.

It's simple enough to play when totally hammered, there isn't a bunch of choices to make like COD or Halo, you just drop in press A, shoot some stuff, press b, shoot some stuff, die, laugh. respawn.

 
Te chainsaw is back to gears one prominence due to...don't know why, I just could chainsaw people a lot more than usual in the beta. They flipped the big giant switch while I was matchmaking to turn the beta off. I got booted and prompted for an update that said it was over.

The game always plays better with 1-3 drinks as you play with your instincts and don't over think anything. Your guts first movement/aim is usually right. I have never found another game that just clicks so much with its gameplay. A big thing is to find the sensitivity that fits you, everyone has it different with mine being very low compared to most. The deep strategy that is yet so simple is flawless. The movement system when your in the groove feels like your dancing. You will learn over time as everyone else has. The game isn't about being good, its about the fun factor that it brings that nothing can ever touch in potential. Like culdues said, you don't have to be good or even average to have good time. If two-three FBGs team together the team is solid enough where the pressure will be removed from you and it becomes easier to support and learn as the other team focuses on people like dude and pete.

 
Mad World 2.0

They redid the original trailer. IMO the first version is better due to being darker but forever I will think of gears when hearing the song. I won't be around for the launch of this thing. Probably won't get online until the end of September due to moving. But after that, its going to be gears time! Enjoy the head start, and #### center screen gnasher shots imo. We already have it pre-ordered, just no xbox and tv so that makes it tough.

Also come the end of September or possibly early Sep, I will be back on PST time instead of London time, so I'll be around more since its not the sunrise when most of you game.

 
so they are giving away the whole collection as well once backwards compatibility is setup.....

 
I wasn't going to preorder, figured I'd walk in and get it.

Was also considering a little practice this week, probably just play some Gears 3, can't stand Gears 1 online with the lag these days.

The beta was interesting since it was solo only. I did alright and focused with rifle/snub play to complement power weapons. Dainty straight up manback'd it and went gnasher 98% of the time. I couldn't hit #### with the original aiming scheme but she was wrecking ####. It's definately different(gow1 style) so it will take time to get the hang of it.

I'm overly reliant on wallbouncing and gnasher hipfiring. Wallbouncing doesn't work and gnasher shoots a different part of the screen = I was terrible in the beta.

Wall bounce is gone to go back to the having to slide into walls. The gnashergnasger-CoS-aim shoots center screen instead of from the barrel which destroys my gnasher game especially my shoot while flying around corners.

I KNEW something seemed off. I kept missing with the shotty (more than usual) and couldn't figure out why.

 
Should be picking it up tonight unless they all sell out somehow. I'll only be able to play tomorrow night though, and then not again until Sunday night. Sucks.
