Gears of War - General Discussion 2 - Re-release 6/24 w/Maps and Extras (No PC Stuff)

[quote name='Puzznic']I thought this update would get me back into playing but it might be what gets me to quit for good. Annex is kind of fun but it is even more host heavy then the other game types.

The new running system is complete crap. You should not stick to anything unless you run into it head on. If I want to take cover onto something that I am running by then I will just stop and press A. And you have face buttons on the controller that don't do anything, use one of them to seperate the dive command from the A button.

Halo 3 can not come soon enough.[/QUOTE]


that's where I wished they would use the Y button for this stuff.
 
why is it that this game gets less fun and less fun as they release more patches. I just wish they would set it back to the original when you could still weapon slide, see hosst's name, and not stick to wallls.

I wish they'd just implement an "I win" button and map it to "Y".

Because game companies listen too much to the people who complain on forums instead of actually looking at the game and trying to find real problems with it. Another good example of this is Battlefield 2. Instead of fixing the inherent problem in the game which was that ground forces were completely fucked aganist enemies in the sky this problem was never fixed and every subsequent patch addressed issues that most people did not care about aside from a small amount of people who posted on forums.

I was telling people online before the game got patched that I hoped they wouldn't pull a battlefield 2 and lo and behold they did.
 
Weapon slides are still possible, guy in our game was doing it but wouldn't tell us how to do it. In a few days the whole internet will know about it anyway.

Also, on Canals (and I'm guessing any other map) if you take cover behind the wall and grab the sniper while still behind cover, you can run down the wall while picking it up.

I know how to do the new weapon slide (it was a more complicated way you could do before, they left it in). If you don't find out by tomorrow, I'll send you a message how to.

I just don't want to be one of the ones spreading it through out the internets. The longer it takes for people to realize they can still do it, the better. ;)

Yup, I would like to abuse this for the next 2 days until people know about it again. It is really easy anyway.

This is why I greatly respect Bungie as a developer. They got a lot of shit on every forum from the "hardcore" gamers about Halo 2 MP. Everything ranging from no pistol, shitty matchmaking, nerfed grenades, etc. What did they do? They fixed what really needed fixing and let the rest be. They designed it to be what they thought was best instead of trying to make everybody with a keyboard and internet access happy.
 
I stopped playing this a few weeks ago because of the large amount of glitching and poor mechanics that seemed to develop overtime. Seems they failed to fix what really mattered and screwed up other aspects as well. i know they are trying but I may just put this game on a longer, if no definite, hiatus.
 
After having played a good bit last night and this afternoon, I'm going to get rid of my copy-- I hate the way the new roadie run doesn't let you cut corners fast, makes you take a higher arc if you don't want to stick to anything.

Plus the glitches were gone for all of about 10 minutes before teammates and opponents discovered them again. Gears has a big following, and people are enjoying it still-- but i'll wait to FPS on console when Shadowrun and H3 come out.
 
"Something that was rather shocking to me is that the Roadie Run is only about 20 percent faster than a normal run."

How is that shocking? 20% is huge.
 
Ok well I played a game this afternoon. I dunno if it was way laggy but for like 3 seconds this dude was flying above me. Then I turned into Meat chunks soon after.

Then bullet holes stopped appearing and everything went into slow motion for 10 seconds

Dude, you Enter(ed) the Matrix. Now you can slow time and run up walls. :rofl:

The new patch seems to have made more instances of lag, but hopefully this is soon remedied.
 
I hate the Annex. I'm starting to hate this game. I hate the shotgun, mostly. It's so damned inconsistent. I don't know why, but it always seems as if someone's shotgun is stronger than mine in a shotgun battle. I hate it. It's become so monotonous. 90 percent of all matches that I've been in have came down to shotgun duels. Maybe I should just get better with the shotgun, but nothing is helping me now. I just don't know.
 
[quote name='zewone']"ANY of the kill-based achievements"

Annex ranked = pointless[/quote]

Annex is kick ass, but I'll never again play another ranked Annex match. I just now heard that you don't get any achievements with it. I then had to check on here to see if it was true or not. That's so fucking gay, after hearing that they were talking about giving you achievements for player matches. What's the fucking difference? They don't want you to get achievements through Annex, yet they were going to let you get it through player matches? fuck this. I'll be playing a lot more of GH and a lot less of GoW.
 
[quote name='Brak']Annex is pretty boring.[/quote]

I thought it was actually anything but boring. I thought the warzone and execution were actually getting boring and Annex brought some life back into the game with the new hectic gameplay.
 
I sadly didn't start playing multiplayer at the very beginning of this game. Now, whenever I join any game I find that I'm getting my ass handed to me left and right because I don't know all the tricks.

Getting killed within 4 seconds of match starting and then hearing how much I suck from four different 15 year-olds isn't really all that fun...

:roll: :roll: then get better
 
annex is best played in raven down IMHO due to the instant roll in of people. For some reason it seems like the most violent mode due to respawns. It's a good mode to play, but not too much.
 
For those interested in picking up the game (like myself), it's going to be $49.99+tax (or $44.99 if you manage to find a GGC) at BB starting Sunday morning (4/15).
 
Oddly enough, i was excited for annex but still havent played it. I started playing the game before the new mode came out and got sucked right back into it(and into getting my achievements).

I strictly played warzone before, but switched to execution and now back to warzone. Well back to warzone now because its hard as fuck getting your achievements otherwise. Ive learned to love em both though.
 
i really love playing annex with team killing on. Its fun when everyone is just having a free for all, and you wait at the spawn and have huge shotgun battles
 
http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/04/15/epic-talks-post-update-roadie-run/

More shit from Epic about why they think the roadie run is better now and how they get emails about how much better it is. Whatever, it was better the way it was.

Evidentally, they're working on the roadie run again, saying it will be a mix of the old and new for the next update. Whenever that happens.

I agree with the Xbox 360 fanboy writer, just make it impossible to take cover while roadie running. It would solve all the problems.

I wonder if they'll ever introduce a deathmatch mode.

with the removal of the achievements thing in annex, I still think epic can hop on this easily.

I'd vote for that too, half the time when you want to get into cover when roadie running you can't anyway.
 
I loved playing multiplayer back when the game first came out. No one knew any glitches, the shotgun wasn't so heavily depended on, and the roadie run cover thing wasn't so screwed up. Guess those days won't be coming back anytime soon...

The shotgun is heavely depended on but you don't need to use it. A pistol melee will surely piss off a missed shotgun blaster. Epic also said that they'll be changing the roadie run a bit in the next patch. So don't worry!
 
The next patch could take months. They fucked up the roadie run and you hit walls now. I'm just not going to play it, May 16th Halo 3 beta, mark your calender.

It's funny that you mention that. When looking at the timestamp on those with the multiplayer achievements, you notice that they were overwhelming obtained during those first two months of release; when everyone was just learning the game. Now poor suckers like myself will be hard pressed to get 100 kills with a chainsaw, let alone anything else.
 
[quote name='jimfoley16']cag game goin.... we need at least one more player

some one come so we can get a game goin[/QUOTE]


I'd be on maybe... if you see me later with a spot send me an invite.

I agree that getting any achievements will be tough now. Most of the dudes playing ranked games are experts and have zero patience for those on there team that aren't at there level yet. Thats what I have experienced recently. So I said F them and hopped in to the player match games just to have some fun where guys weren't freaking out and be overly critical of every move you make or don't make. I won't get any achievements but its a lot more fun and thats really what its all about.
