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 hmm.gif

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 smile.gif

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 laugh.gif

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 icon_rolleyes.gif

Sick of playing the Gears of War 3 against the unwashed masses? Microsoft and Epic Games have you covered, with a unique promotion that'll run during the final week of the game's multiplayer beta. On May 8, Microsoft will email every beta participant who's completed at least one match with a code they can use to invite a friend to join the fun.

According to Destructoid, additional codes will be made available to gamers who do any of the following, up to a maximum of five invite codes --
Buy Gears of War through Xbox Live's Games on Demand. Alternatively, buy any piece of Gears DLC or Gears avatar stuff.
Clock up over 20 hours in the Gears of War 3 beta.
Buy a 12-month Xbox Live Gold subscription.
Have over 100 hours clocked up on any Gears of War game to date.
You've got until May 4 to do this, and on May 8, as the final week of the beta begins, Microsoft will begin sending out invite codes.

Check out our Gears of War 3 Beta Week 2 coverage to find out what we thought of the beta so far.

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. smile.gif
