Just got the game and it really was Hyped like crazy and I totally bought into it. The game is really good and all , but not as good as all the hype makes it seem.
 
[quote name='JDMxB']Question guys...does the Locust AR (HammerBurst) actually do a little more damage than the COG AR with the chainsaw bayonet?[/quote]

Seems like it.
 
Hey guys, If anyone is up for some co-op a little bit later on send me a friend request.. Tired of playing campaign by myself lol so if you want to play hit me up with a friend request.

I'll probably be on around 5 ET.
 
Some people said he was hard on casual but I thought he was a pushover. I havent gotten to him on insane yet (I'm close though). If you want to coop it with me add me as a friend.
 
[quote name='daphatty']While I would love such a "content patch", I'd say this is highly unlikely to happen today. They had to rush their asses off just to get the game out on time. This type of content would basically add a second game to the main game. If this were to happen it probably wouldn't happen for another 3-6 months AND we'd have to pay for it. GRAW Ch. 2 anyone?[/QUOTE]

Yes, Please....
 
I used the sniper and the chainsaw machine gun.

You want to stay where you are when it first starts and hold back. Use the machine gun to get his shield of bats off him then snipe him in the face as many times as you can. He shouldn't even close to you before he dies. This worked for me on normal.

Looking for people to play co-op with hit me up gamertag MichalOrtega
 
[quote name='help1']Any tips on how to use the Lancer online? Im good with every weapon I have used to far except the Lancer and the Magnum.[/QUOTE]


for the lancer, just make sure you have it reved up before you go near someone. People still don't get that pressing B when you're close to someone doesn't really do it. You'll see black smoke coming off of your gun that's when you know you're good. just keep holding it.
 
I pretty much exclusively use the chainsaw in multiplayer. I sam fisher up behind them and saw them in half. Unless they are out in the open they can just duck down and gain their health back so I dont think the guns (except for the shotgun) are too useful.

I don't know if Im really good or if everyone I play against really sucks...
 
[quote name='Mojimbo']Ugh, the last boss is a motherfucker on Insane, pulled an all-nighter on coop but I couldn't get past that guy. Anyone have any tips?[/quote]Well I just beat Insane last night, and I've got to say that the most annoying part had to be when driving the Junker.

As for the last boss, I found it extremely easy (even on Insane) if you bring along the Torque Bow and the Sniper Rifle. Use a Torque arrow to get the Kryll off of RAAM, then use the sniper rifle to bust his chops. When he gets close move to the opposite side (where he started), you can stick him with a grenade when you pass him by, but just be careful. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EVEN USE THE TROIDKA TURRET since it's in the shadows. Make sure you stay in the light at all times, and keep an eye on your right and left flanks for Reavers just in case the choppers miss it. As with all levels, it's much easier if you have a buddy along with you (one has the sniper, the other uses the Torque Bow, then you guys alternate with the lancer and provide blind fire support).
 
I still can't get the 5 in a row perfect reloads achievement. What gun did you guys do it with? It seems like I'm the only one that doesnt have it.

Use different guns.

GRAW Ch. 2 anyone?[/QUOTE]

Your right, it won't happen today, but I can see it being very much like a Graw Ch 2 download sometime later. It just really gives me the feeling during the game that they would do that.

And most of the 'rush to get it out' you speak of wasn't necessarily content, it was balance and polish. Once that is done, releasing new content isn't that hard, because it just plugs in.

i'm really surprised that you havent...that's one of the easiest achievements of all time :lol:

just play some campaign single player and use the lancer and reload when you need to...5 times is a sinch
 
I tried playing this multiplayer for the first time yesterday and the people who were playing it were all snobby and thought they were experts. If anybody wants to play a non-bitchy game, add me and invite me because I'd be down.

Too bad I'm not 18. I'm actually pretty good at this game, winning prizes would actuualy seem possible.
 
Argh, is there anything to go against all this lost connection crap? Takes 30 minutes sometimes just to find a match that doesnt go lost. Absolutely love the game but playing multiplayer is so frustrating.
 
[quote name='TrenoV']Argh, is there anything to go against all this lost connection crap? Takes 30 minutes sometimes just to find a match that doesnt go lost. Absolutely love the game but playing multiplayer is so frustrating.[/quote] That is a bit much. I've had problems myself but not that bad. Try making your own filter options. It will give you a list of matches akin to your filter aand choose the one with the least amount of players.

No way, but a easier way to get games:

Versus --> Xbox Live --> Custom --> It'll say refreshing, press X, pick a game with low number of players.

Im not THAT bad! Im talking about when shooting the machine gun.. i guess the lancer means chain saw, so my bad, i don't know the terms.

you have to select your game FAST. the reason it says lost connection is because the game is already full by the time you hit A
 
[quote name='help1']Im not THAT bad! Im talking about when shooting the machine gun.. i guess the lancer means chain saw, so my bad, i don't know the terms.[/QUOTE]

heh sorry, there isn't much strategy with the lancer...just shoot at them anywhere, i don't think there is a head shot advantage with that gun.
 
[quote name='AshesofWake']i only quit when i realize rounds to win is set to 19[/quote]

Yeah, that's ridiculous... that's also why I started looking at how many rounds there are.

And too many people are quitting, for me the last few games have been 4 v 2 or 4 v 3
 
I finally dove into the single player last night. Played on Casual and it's still a bit challenging for me....enjoyable. I hate the whole darkness getting eaten by birds part ;)

How long should the game take....I'm through Act 2 now after about 2.5 hours.

It took me about 7-9hrs I would say for my first play through on casual. I'm yet to take on some multi-player. I played some parts with with co-op on live and it works very well.

As long as you have a decent crew matched up (which doesn't happen often) 19 round-to-win games are great. Saves the time of finding another. =D
 
I think i am sick, yesturday i got on live on GOW at about 11am, and didnt leave my room except for bathroom and food breaks until 8:00 am emergence day. I started coop insane at about 9 and finished it up with panda at about 730 give or take ~1 hour for multiplayer inbetween 21 hours of gears of war and i feel like a zombie. I do have a broken leg so its not like i could have done TOO many other things... but damn, this game is addicting
 
rounds to 19 is actually better for ranked matches. That way you can get more points without having to find new ones. I'm talking about strictly ranked matches btw.

Most annoying shit ever. you practically never see people from the winning side quit. But like 70% of the time at least one person quits on the losing side. People should get punished for that. it's fricking rediculous.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']I declare myself the worst GoW player of Emergence Day. Gimmie a prize!

3 points, baby! 3 points![/QUOTE]

I don't know, I'm not that great either. It's hard for me to sit down and play these for any more than a half hour though, and I haven't had much time to play to begin with. Between that and playing on hardcore...yeah. I think I'm really close to the end of act 1.
 
this game flat-out sucks. great graphics and thats it. you do nothing but enter a level, take cover, shoot to kill, then leave the level only to repeat it over and over and over again. theres nothing innovative about it; oh boy! a chainsaw for a bayonet! that really is innovative and makes this game worth buying.

overall, the game is alright, but not even close to all the hype about it. over-rated, and over-hyped...and just plain boring
 
what is this about? :whistle2:k

[quote name='Emergence Day Play and Win Sweepstakes Official Rules']

Prior to being declared a confirmed winner, Canadian residents will be required to correctly answer, unaided and without mechanical or electronic assistance, a time-limited, mathematical skill-testing technical question, to be administered by telephone at a mutually convenient time.
[/quote]
 
[quote name='Vampyre611']what is this about? :whistle2:k[/QUOTE]

It has to do with Canada's laws regarding sweepstakes. You see that in the legal information for most contests that are offered in Canada and U.S. Usually the "math problem" is something like 2 + 2 = ? Its just so the people holding the contest can say that they winner had to "earn" it.
 
[quote name='TrenoV']Dont feel bad about sucking, I don't know why im so bad at multiplayer. Just need more practice with it I guess.[/quote]

yea, i do ok in single player. but pretty much suck in mp. i finsh 6-8 in each match, so i guess theres usually one guy worse then me.

i just fnd it hard to succed in mp. i dont feel like i do anything different the rest of the people, but alas, i suck
