90 matches in 4 weeks? I can do that. I'm 6-2 now, so I got 8 in last night alone.
Only need to worry about 100 kills with the retro lancer...

That shit really wasn't bad in Reach. Then again, I showed up with a laser sword. Killed the 2 elites that jumped up and out. Dropped in, found the hologram one, and used that to stalk/kill the remaining elites in the room. Grabbed the needle rifle, used that to clear the room and let Jorge in. Ended up in the control room with no laser sword, kept back in the hallway, sniping everything with the needle rifle, including the hunter with the laser sword. Picked up the new one, fought my way out. I used the last two hits from it to kill the first two white elites... grabbed a plasma cannon and backed off, circled the remaining while they focused on Jorge and hit them with some full charge blasts. It really wasn't that bad.

[/QUOTE] I mainly just want Cole and the Gold Retro Lancer.
See, the way it happened for you wasn't bad, but for me, I ended up getting annhiliated when I was in the larger area with the Engineer. For some reason I had three Elites that kept running up the stairs at me and every time they charged me I'd be able to take 1 out, maybe 2 and then I'd get killed. And I just got super stuck on that because of bad checkpointing.
[quote name='HaLLuZiNaTiOnZ']So regular Gears 3 Beta starts the 25th for us non-Bulletstorm players? That should be enough time to beat Portal 2.
I also only have my 360 for Gears 3 and possible Alan Wake 2, but if Wake 2 goes multi-plat I'm buying the Ps3 version.[/QUOTE] I don't think Wake 2 can go multi, it's an MS game, right?
[quote name='hankmecrankme']Gears 3 Beta ends May 15th.
Unlockables are here.
