[quote name='A Happy Panda']Does anyone else think that the chainsaw is overpowered in the MP?[/QUOTE]

From the reviews I read, the shotgun is supposed to be the rock to its scissors.
 
Anyone ever notice some textures don't pop up right away and it takes a few seconds when you start up a level?

(this is in local co-op btw)
 
[quote name='daphatty']I completely agree with this. I can't fucking stand it when I am in cover and I have all three of my squadmates next to me and I can't save them. I also think the AI for this game doesn't live up to the hype. While the enemy AI is pretty solid, the neglected to make the companion AI worth a damn. I spend most of my time trying to complete the objective rather than saving their sorry asses since they will be revived once the objective is complete.[/quote]

Play coop and then team ai is not a problem. Besides coop is more fun anyways!

ive seen it as well, in cutscenes even. i have seen it in multiple games too, like dead rising. i think it is part of the rendering technology.

and TrenoV, me too.

yeah, I've noticed lots of funny glitches in the game. sometimes he just freezes and starts gyrating after chainsawing someone. doesn't stop until someone kills him.

another time, when I was fighting the third berserker (where you get it to knock out columns) a concrete chunk flew at me and stuck to my arm. it was amusing.

happened to me once when i left the "restart - load save from last checkpoint?" screen right after i died...i left for about 10 mins then came back and the cutscene had to reload textures and you could see them change from "bland" to "detailed" textures during the cutscene...it was the part where those little screaming things jumped on the ceiling and that one screamed so loud that the glass broke :lol:

This happened to me when I was playing Deathmatch this morning. What was even more annoying was hearing my teamates call me a dumbass for just standing there and losing the match for us.

Thats for keeping the load times short. It still is streaming data off the disc when the level starts. Halo 2 had the same issue.

Got up to the first berserker last night after I got myself a new 360. I kicked out my girlfriend and will be home playing all night tonight. Feel free to add me to your friends or the big list for some multi player.

I play it on my 122" screen and it was to much. I can only imagine on that screen. I bet it looked pretty damn amazing though.
 
[quote name='Zoglog']my friend encountered a glitch twice with the chainsaw where after you chainsawed somone you couldn't move after. weird.[/quote]

It's happened to me to and others I've played with.
 
Man played a great match with Ashesofthewake and Ultimate Matt x GOOD times! Tonight guys, get on your late night goggles cause were playing all night.
 
I wanna bash some people anyone up for some competitive games tonight? Maynard sounds like someone id like to bash ;)
 
[quote name='SpikeSpiegel']So I just need to be playing ranked verus matches to have a chance to win on 11/12?[/quote]

The official rules (which I just updated the OP with BTW) just state that you have to play GoW, it doesnt say you have to play multiplayer, SP, ranked, un-ranked, it seems that just by being connected to XBL your system will tell their server that you are playing GoW and seems like that's all that's needed. FYI: You have to be 18years+ to win.

30 day expiration date and mathematics for Candians. wtf?
 
Bought this earlier, and will play after work... But, man; the Collector's case fucking sucks. Doesn't help that I got a dented one.

It pains my OCD.
 
[quote name='orntar']do you mean just because of the dent? i rather like the case. very nice, imo.[/QUOTE]
I don't like that the CDs are in a fucking greeting card.

I think that if there was an actual game case inside of the tin, that'd be cool.

I hated it too. Lucky for me I preordered a couple at Best Buy when they had the 1600pts for 4.99 so I'll be using that case to put inside of my metal tin case :D. I was also disappointed by the art book, I was expecting better.

I was thinking about doing that, too, with the preorder case.

I hope it doesn't say, like, "PRE-ORDER!" anywhere on it. Again, shit like that takes a massive blow to my OCD.

And, yeah... the art book ain't so special. Looks like one of those 99 cent coffee table books.

oh , ok so I don't have to be kicking major ass ;)?
 
[quote name='CaseyRyback']From the reviews I read, the shotgun is supposed to be the rock to its scissors.[/QUOTE]

While this is true, I still think its too easy to use. I hate it so much whenever I try to kill an enemy that's chainsawing one of my teammates, my bullets do nothing. If there's enough cover around him, after he's done killing my teammate, he can usually just roll into cover and recover his health.

Also, you just have to hold the damn B button and get somewhat near the enemy. I got chainsawed during a ROLL. I was ROLLING. The game started glitching until the death animation was over. I think if they fixed the proximity of how close you have to be with the chainsaw, it'd be a little more balanced.

Sidenote:

RAAM is so hard.

I can send you one if you can't find it. LMK. I don't remember it saying presell anywhere on it. I'll check when I get home, the only thing it doesnt have is a UPC Bar CODE.

just checked...only difference from the 4.99 preorder box and the regular edition box is that it says "not for resale" in the bottom middle of the front cover...and instead of rated M, it just says "RP (rating pending)"

that's pretty much the only differences though

fun game..i still suck but i'm getting a little better i guess...if anyone wants to coop on insane mode starting on act 1, let me know (btw, does insane have to be unlocked only for the host or for both players to play coop on insane?)

Thanks!
 
online play is eff'ing awesome if you have a great team. if not it's very frustrating and not so fun.

i beat the game on casual [ cause id idn't know you get the other achievements if you played on a harder difficulty ] and single player was fun, but wasn't great.
 
[quote name='Ultimate Matt X']Yeah, good games earlier everyone sorry I left, but I started to feel terrible. I'll be back on soon though.[/QUOTE]

Awe. I was just beginning to own you guys too. Jk.
