Gears Of War: Judgment - Lost Relics DLC out now VIP - 6/25 for Non VIP

Don't got season pass yet, but I'm sure it won apply as double xp requires you to play on the "VIP" playlist.

Played about 4 matches last night, tons of fun, can't wait for the full game.
 
I played two games early this morning. Quick thoughts: This plays a LOT like Rush in Battlefield Bad Company 2.

I was playing as Sofia, almost everyone else was Cole, yet no one was putting down any ammo. I ran both guns completely out of ammo.

The active area of the map is VERY small, compared to what we're used to.
 
Do i have to be a powerup rewards member to get the code? Cause I just pre-ordered from gamestop and im not sure if its exclusive or for all preorders.
 
Grayson Hunt and the "chick" Novak could be special skins for People Can Fly devs. I know some of you hope you can unlock them, but i think that would be cool if it was only for PCF devs. Then you could tell who they are.

Also its been confirmed you CANT use Gears 3 weapon or characters in Judgment, even though a judgment guide says you can. Guess they were thinking about it, and decided in the end not to do it.

Man i cant wait to get my hands on this game.

[quote name='snakemaster2389']i pre-ordered this online and havent gotten an early acces code yet :([/QUOTE]
Supposedly, some Gamestops actually got their codes on cards. This seems wrong, but some people have said that they actually got calls from their Gamestop, telling them to come in and get their code.

This is a longshot, but if you live nearby your Gamestop, it might be worth dropping by, or at least calling them to see what's up. The Early Access starts March 14-15, so technically they have until tonight to get it to you.

Edit: I hate self promoting, but please read what I've posted in long text above. It'll help if you haven't played yet. The game moves fast if you're not paying attention.

I played as Cole and Paduk last night, and found that Cole is great in the beginning of matches, but not so much once the enemy team starts rushing in. The Booshka is fantastic for getting enemies around corners, since it bounces and self detonates when enemies are near. I was able to hold off Tickers from attacking caltrops for 20-30 seconds at the start, as I kept on firing it at them and dropping ammo at my feet to keep the explosives coming. I'm sure that was part luck, but if used properly you can really hinder enemy progress right away, forcing them to either shoot the barrier you're guarding, which takes more time, or go the alternate route, where hopefully your teammates are equally putting up a good fight. Also, first thing to do as Cole is try to drop an ammo box at the intersection point a the start of the match, where all 5 COG run through. It just helps to give your teammates extra ammo right away, so that they aren't going to be panicked, looking for you later when they need ammo.

Paduk has the Snub, which I found more effective than the rifle he has. Spot grenades are great when thrown ahead, closer to enemy spawns, so that you can anticipate enemy movement earlier. It's much more effective to know when a Corpser, Serapede or Mauler(s) are coming into the battle than to find out they're coming at you with only seconds to be ready for them.

The cloud of smoke you see is a Kryll shield, preventing the COG from getting to the Spawn where the Locusts are. Grenades do nothing beyond there. I threw a spot grenade through it and it immediately disappeared. Try dropping it just before it, so that the enemy is forced to run into it. It's important to note that the Kryll shield will kill you if you run into it as a COG, so be wary of it, but you probably shouldn't be that far ahead if you followed what I posted before.

The engineer is so laughably overpowered compared to all the other classes. It's taken less than 24 hours for the general polulation to figure this out and now it's nothing but 5 man engineer teams.

:rofl:

I was afraid of that...Baird and Cole are my favorite class, and I agree with you, a team of Bairds can take game pretty easily.
 
What level is everyone here at the moment? I shut it off at level 16 last night. I'll get on later today tough. I hope Brisk hurrys up and ships my game. Guess I'll have to pick up my MS preorder on Monday night, just didnt want to use all my $20 giftcards up from sitting in WIndows 8 classes up.

I feel ya on that one. It would be funny if someone let family/roommates play 24hrs straight and land the retail game at level 50. Only game mode I might have problem with getting achievement is win FFA on all the maps. I'm not too good on FFA on any game lol

It's only 4 maps, though. Overtime it should come. Plus, according to what Pete Knepley said during the stream I posted, 1st, 2nd or 3rd place counts as a win (sort of like how Halo 3 and Reach had it).
 
[quote name='Dark Lord Greg']Anyone gotten their codes today? Sitting here refreshing my inbox every 10 minutes[/QUOTE]
If your local Gamestop is open, I've heard you should call them. That's what people on the Gears Forum are saying. If you didn't get it by yesterday it's probably due to an error, and you need to contact them to be given a code.
 
Yeah called GameStop earlier and got my code, played a few matches already really seems like locust are overmatched by COG especially with that turret that Baird drops, jeez
 
You can tell early if the COG team is working together while you're locusts, if not that Corpser will win the match every time.

I see that Neon on the list, but I cant find anywhere that its supposed to be a Walmart exclusive, not even on the WM site, they're just giving away GOW2/3 with Judgement purchase.
 
I want the locust armor skin, i posted a pic of it in here, but havent seen any info on how to unlock it. I hope its still in the game, cos it was awesome.

Im going to do campaign so i can get Kim, and maybe some armor skins like skeletal. But i might buy one. Thing is some of them wouldnt work too well with red or blue armor with them.

It's a walmart exclusive due to the fact that the code/sticker is on the big packs (6.5oz) of oberto jerky that's at walmart and when you redeem the code it says it's a walmart exclusive

I feel ya baby.. I think I did 4 rounds.. but damn I keep getting on teams that don't want to work together... I can see that's going to get old real quick!!!

I went to a walmart Friday and I didn't see anything that mentioned an exclusive pack, just the Tai skin. I'll have to be on the look out for the big packs.

It's the same sticker that's on the small bags but when you redeem the code it give you a bonus code besides just the Tai code

Try getting a team from here. At least it might be people who would use headsets and formulate a plan.

I've heard that Paduk's Beacon Grenade actually makes enemies weaker, or at least weakens the attacks they do. That might be good to know if the enemy is constantly getting to your E-hole or Generator and are too strong to fight off. At least a dropped Beacon Grenade nearby might help make them easier to repel.

Just what I've read. I have no proof of this actually being true.

that just sounds so wrong...
 
[quote name='dirtyvu']that just sounds so wrong...[/QUOTE]
Just another thing to add to the list of sexual tones in Gears of War, though. Seriously, a Giant Worm...

Edit: Now it just sounds disturbingly wrong when the E-hole is broken open and Sofia screams, "NO! Not like this!"

Same here, I'm calling BS on that Walmart deal now I'm stuck with 2 Tai codes that have no value lol
