when did being picky change to having ocd? i hate how everyone uses the term ocd freely now a days.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Why is your xbl name Millertime2325 but your CAG name is Millertime2523?[/quote]
I dont know lol.. I made my CAG name first and thought it looked better the other way aroudn when i got XBL.
 
I just played for at least 2 hours on casual and I was getting my ass handed to me. I suck but the game is totally fun. I need to get used to the controls I keep aiming and then having to adjust my scope and it takes forever and I keep getting shot. I need to be able to anticipate where the crosshairs will be when I zoom in to shoot...
 
[quote name='javeryh']. I need to get used to the controls I keep aiming and then having to adjust my scope and it takes forever and I keep getting shot. I need to be able to anticipate where the crosshairs will be when I zoom in to shoot...[/quote]One thing I've found that helps is if you're behind cover, the red ring that appears in the center of the screen if you've taken damage will always be in the center when you zoom. So, if you take a couple hits and the light red circle appears, get an enemy in it and when you hold the L trigger to aim, he'll be right in your sights.

Yeah, I still completely suck, both online and off. :lol:
 
You could buy it at Newegg, Dell, or Barnes and Noble's website. They accept PayPal, but your probably going to be paying MSRP.
 
Wow, this game is truly amazing. If anybody wants to play multiplayer or co-op, send me friend request since the few times I played people booted me since I've only had the game for two hours and I'm not amazing already.
 
played the single player game. way too short. not very challenging either. i hope online multiplayer gives me a reason to not sell this before EMERGENCE DAY!
 
Linkin, got any more extra pre-order Gears cases? I ran to all the BBs in the area and they don't have anymore here. Otherwise, I'm gonna see if I can get a decent print-off somehow and get a case somewhere.
 
Did anyone else find - chapter 3 spoiler ahead
The last checkpoint of the chapter (taking the base with the Theron Guards / Torque Bows) ridiculously hard? I was playing on Hardcore and it took me a BUNCH of tries before I finally got it down.
 
Ashes, Daphatty, Panda, Calione, Ode, and me. Best multiplayer games i've ever fucking played. In all honesty this blows away halo to me. Its just so much more intense and I haven't encountered one 10 year old kid yelling to his mom that he'll get on in a minute.
 
well my son had to go ahead and turn 5 and have a birthday party today, soooo no gow for the first half of the day for me. i just got off.
this game is HARD teamates really make a difference on this game, unlike halo.
mr. og good games.
anybody else feel free to send an invite. i will always play with a cag if theyre on.
 
[quote name='seanr1221']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]

This has to be intentional. An interesting design decision. Do we give the players the loading screen a little while longer or do we let them play asap and let a few textures load up while they do.
 
[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]

I think the AI for this game does live up to the hype. It's obvious they intintially made your squadmates little more than decoys, or the game would be too easy. I don't want anyone in my squad being rambo and taking down half the fight, that's my job :)

I think the AI for the enemies is quite good, so that tells me the AI for the squad could be good, but intentionally isn't.
 
Looking to do some more matches from now til about 3 in the morning. Trakan and zew, especially, I'd be up for ranked matches if you need a 4th man or anything.
 
Maybe the AI for the squad is worse in Hardcore, cause in casual they actually take out a few guys during a fight.

of course, Dom also always steps in the dark during that one mission and stands casually in front of a berserker all the time too. :roll:
