CTL will only commence next week.


4 maps actually: Trenches, Checkout, Trashball and Old Town (just added this week)


Since when Gears series being a benchmark for Xbox 360? I thought it was Crysis series? Source please?


This is so true. I can't stand those using Sawed-off Shotgun

Gears has always been the benchmark for x360 games since gears 1 and gears 2 (check review). With crysis2 now on consoles, its quite hard for Epic UE3.5 engine on consoles and they have been bragging that UE3.5 is the big improvement on UE2.5. Epic itself wants to win this title too, so their engine could sell in console industry and now with Gear3 beta out, i m kinda doubtful. For me, C2 was a massive leap for consoles but UE3 is like a 1 step forward and 2 step backwards.

Well, considering that Unreal Engine 3 was launched like 4 years ago with the launch of Gears 1, I doubt it can still match the performance and visual quality of what CryEngine 3 can do. But I do remember the WOW when Epic first reveal their Unreal Engine 3, damn that's memorable

My personal understanding why shotgun was overused weapon is because of the map layout. nearly 70% of the map are close quarters, So switching to shotgun is usually the best idea. Only trench and oldtown i find it fairly balance, which i took full advantage of assault rifles against a bunch of shotty fetish. Also 5v5 is not a great idea, i think larger pop will reduce shotgun usage as more lead could be delievered using assault rifles and preventing them charging headon or flanking an uncovered rear.

Althought 2barrel shotty is most prefered shotty, i do find it useless against vet gears, its easily avoidable. Easiest way rollsideways, roll behind them or stand 2-3 feet way and spam ur gnash or AR. the blast radius of 2barrel is 30 deg arc sideways but has a slim cone, in other words if u duck. the dude will miss.

i could say the weapons are quite balance. except hammerburst which is kinda nerf (lower power and high recoil and no maim shots). and gnarsh to be slightly OP (spammable shotty with acceptable range and also 1 hit ko at point blank), i would pick this over the 2barrel shotty which is nearly point blank and u must not miss.

Some other highlight. Scoocher is useless as its replace with shotgun especially gnarsh in range and firepower.

My opinion, its all about skill. Sawed-off Shotgun, yes it 1 shot kill. But need to be close enuf. Timing and skill is everything here. Otherwise, no luck. So at the end, its a balance weapon. From Gears 1 till now, most ppl love the close encounter

i could say its more to who shot first and hit first. Oddly u will c 2 dude arm with 2barrel shotty rolling about, hoping the other dude misses.

retro lancer charge is pretty pointless as ur often stop by a shotty

Not to mention the recoil. Useless if the enemy is far from you. Best (cowardest) strategy for using Retro Lancer is to wait and sneak up behind the enemies and stab their ass backside

true..true

come on guys
what do u expect while playing shooting games?

do u expect us ti used card or token to kill u?
dont kill the game with term

"overused shotgun.."kinda remind me with someone with string attach to his nick
lol

It comes back to skill

Yup. I didnt say we cannot shoot long range since gear3 also got long range weapon. AR for example. But for torque bow, digger, sniper, and so on, u still require skill for it to hit the oppenent

Ada jugak yg marah pakai shotgun... hmmm.. hati kecik betul la.. pegi main black ops la..

did epic shutdown Aus servers? i cant seem to get into any of it. and their are barely 6 ppl playing.

diorg gi masjid kot...

Wow I guess I've been missing a lot for not turning on my console for quite awhile. Huhuhu. Seems everybody has been playing the Beta version of Gears 3. Huhuhu.

Sorry guys I'm a very noob at IT. Educate me a little on this Beta thing if you guys don't mind. Huhuhu.

Gears 3 beta is one of the best beta release period. 3 gamemodes 4 maps and the full arsenal of weapons.

i might have a spare codes, since i almost completed the unlocks. Kinda sad it is going to end on 15th
