x-play video on the horde DLC.

the fortification upgrades look really cool, but I hope with only 3 maps, that they are some really fantastic horde maps.

He's talking about how the Sawed-Off would down people in the Beta. They nerfed that ability to only when you're REALLY hurt.

I see, makes sense. I don't remember downing anyone in the beta with the sawed off personally.

In your face! Like bukakke!

I love Horde but they need to re-evaluate some aspects of it. Not the in-game aspects, but how people just hop in to level something up and random quit out, and you have no hope of getting a new person in. I don't see what the harm would be in letting someone jump in during the first 9 waves at this point, for instance.

I didn't really like that base we had in Mercy. I said to take the "sewer" area and the guy just ran to get the first base that wasn't the starter base. Founder ribbons are terrible. The idea that you just grind in Horde and there's no real benefit to completing it (do it once maybe for the cheevos) means you're stuck in wave 1-20 all the time.

played horde in mercy last night

used the church as a base and got an unpleasant surprise when we got gunkers in the boss wave and discovered that there was no roof

The idea that you just grind in Horde and there's no real benefit to completing it (do it once maybe for the cheevos) means you're stuck in wave 1-20 all the time.

I don't think the grinding aspect is why wave 1-20 are the main waves, I think its mostly because it takes so damn long to get to 50. I like horde a lot, but I rarely want to play for that long. I don't think people quit because they just want to level something up real quick, because spending that $1000 to start will get you nowhere. I think people quit out, because thats how people are. Horde is definitely ideal with a full squad of people you know.

I agree that they should throw people in in the first 9 waves, though I guess I might get a little annoyed if everytime I did quick match for horde I was thrown in a game already started, though maybe they could put an option in whether you are OK with joining games in progress.

and yeah I think the church is ideal for the mercy base, unless you run into a situation like tim where Im guessing they came from opposite sides and you are totally trapped.

It'd just be another option, like Quick Match Ranked Match and then Neonreaperidea Match.

yeah we only ran into that problem when the dual berserkers happened to come in from both sides

the gunkers got us by throwing their **** from all the way across the map and through the roof of the church, which we didn't realize was missing

Ohhh THAT base, nevermind, the best one is the cellar in the top corner, I'm pretty sure that one has a ceiling

I'm shocked more people don't march the mortar down and launch into the chapel, especially at the end of games when people camp the Boomshot

I don't get mercy very much for TDM, but I don't think people hang in the church for very long.

don't work that way, sadly enough

--

what doesn't work? the mortar absolutely does, but most people do not.

if a game gets down to something like 5v3, people absolutely camp out in the chapel! tag the two entrances and guard whatever weapon is in there and people rush in. it's totally what happens.

--
where is mankriks wife

A lot of people camp in there with their leader in CtL. I'm really starting to like the one shot in that level. You can sometimes skip peoples shoulders when they are hugging the altar, it's awesome!

I'm down for some Tickers tomorrow!

--
Grbtmngr

excellent, full b8 crew for tickers imo.

also what happened neon, why did you go quiet? Didn't want to wake people up? Wasnt sure what you meant by "glitched"

also HELLZ YEAH became a barrier master at the very end there. first thing maxed out, finally.

--
omg did u red text from last night dats so me LMAO : )

You were the quiet one! I'm guessing something broke in the party chat or whatever.

I had to die 4 rounds in a row because my guy was totally glitched

--
where is mankriks wife

yeah that game was a little laggy for me, so I am not totally surprised, something wasn't right, but it was still a solid 30 wave run. The guys we were playing with were kind of annoying when it came to challenges, but overall we seemed to have a good system in place with our spacing and fortifications.

--
omg did u red text from last night dats so me LMAO : )
im not a slut i jus liek 2 haev fun LOL : )

It was very laggy for me, too. That one guy was admittedly pretty good but I think he was also just charging around and killing everything easy to kill and avoiding the harder enemies, and avoiding challenges. The other guys were decent and pretty good about revives and such. If everyone had a mic, more time, and I hadn't taken ambien, that might be a wave 50 group.

So yeah I changed weapons and tried to repair a fence just as the clock ticked 00 and it glitched me such that I couldn't do any actions, and if I tried a weapon switch, it just pull out the Lancer. Every time I died someone would revive me, so I just had to run into a few lambents on purpose after 4 waves or so.

--
Donny: Are they gonna hurt us, Walter?
Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

the thing I liked was that we usually had at least 1 person on each side, one person was pretty good about staying in our base and shooting from up top, which stopped us from having base spawners, thats just the exact way to tackle that map and that base imo

--
omg did u red text from last night dats so me LMAO : )
im not a slut i jus liek 2 haev fun LOL : )

Yeah agree, and we only made one base down below so it was easy to keep up with repairs. I was trying to save my money for later waves when the spikes are useful.... having a tickey lay waste to a fence you need to spend $1600 to rebuild in wave 22 is kinda pointless imo

Ticker Tuesday wasn't that exciting. It's funny for two waves but they just blow up all your stuff and you can't really chase them around or you get blown up quickly. I mean sure it's easy to shoot them from the top of overpass, they don't hang around under cover like the drones do, but it's boring. We also had one glitch out and couldn't finish the wave because he ended up off the map.

Any ideas on how to get the onyx medal for I'm A Beast?

ahh well, yeah it seems like a funny thing to do for like the opening waves, then just stop it.

I do like these events though, I'm kinda surprised so few MP games do stuff like this

--

"To achieve the Onyx: I'm a Beast Medal you will need to beat Beast Mode on insane, without losing a single round"

actually this sounds kind of fun. my main problem with beast mode is that it is a little too easy on normal for matchmaking, no real strategy is required.

I wouldn't mind ticker waves here and there, just pop it up on the screen so you know not to stick around your base and let them blow everything up. I dunno probably not a great idea later on in Horde.

Other games can just do "bonus EXP!" weekends and it works, kudos to Gears for going above and beyond. Of course you can pay $2 for a green gun so people act like they are some evil group of greedmongers.

“RAAM’s Shadow” is set before the events of the original Gears of War, and puts players in the shoes of Zeta squad lead by Michael Barrick (from the Gears of War comics), Lt. Minh Young Kim (Gears 1) and Tai Kaliso (Gears 2), and a new female, Alicia Valera. Players will eventually get to play as General RAAM, the Locust leader players fight at the end of the first game. "RAAM's Shadow" costs 1,200 Microsoft Points and will be out December 13.

RAAM was ****ing awesome, wish he had stuck around.

Kim was kind of lame though, and Tai is pretty meh. Never read the books so I have no idea who the other guy is.

Just give us the Baird/Cole DLC damn it.

Major Nelson's blog says it is only about 3+ hours, lame. I'd love to buy it, but not for $15. just like Deus Ex. Unless they are doing a full out expansion, I don't think that many people are going to pay $15 for just a few hours of content

--

Yeah kinda pricey, you'll lose out on some MP skins, but I don't think it has MP maps

I like MP a lot but I think I might start the campaign soon

yeah if they threw maps in there, I'd probably get it, but it doesn't look that way.

Did anyone else notice the free Gears stickers in the box? I traded my copy in a week ago and the guy pointed them out to me. My mate traded his copy in today and didn't notice his either. Just wondering.

--
Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet.

you traded it in WHATS WRONG WITH YOU

I haven't noticed any stickers personally. Never been a fan of putting them on controllers and stuff

Eh, I finished the campaign and I've never been a huge fan of the multiplayer.

And the stickers are cool. They're on transparent plastic and huge, so I stuck it on the side of my Xbox.
