thinkin bout sellin mine

since online play is so fucking dodgy and kinda cheap (racing for the rifle/boomshot is kinda wack) after beatin it there aint too much left

vegas killed the game for me, better to me in most aspects

1/16/2007 4:42:58 PM

i beat it on insane about a month ago without any co-op...i haven't played online recently because i need 9 more poes and then i'm in the final battle in zelda on the wii

1/16/2007 5:12:31 PM

online play gets old to me fast. my roommate plays 10 hours a day though so I join in for a few.

1/16/2007 10:03:42 PM

Halo 2 is still much better than GOW on live -- but I still switch back and forth...

1/17/2007 12:19:35 AM

ok I had a question about etiquette. The other day I was just messing around online and I found out Im a wee bit better using the chainsaw on certain boards then I am with the shottie. however the people I was playing with got pissed off I was chainsawing so many people and the host booted me from the game. Is that considered too noobish??

3/1/2007 6:20:49 PM

a kill is a kill

people who get chainsawed should check around corners first

grenade tagging pisses off more people than anything, but the patch fixed the distance there

it was a baby of a host...that's all i can think of

3/1/2007 6:23:00 PM

Mo-fo it just happened again. I wasn't even using the chainsaw at all but i saw a guy huddled behind a corner so I thought what the hell and switched and got em and the fucker booted me. I mean I NEVER even trash talk or anything. this is BS. is there anyway to tell who the host is without asking??? I mean Im usually the worst guy in the team. If I get 2 or 3 kills in a entire series of rounds Im doing good. bastards besides it leaves me team mates hanging.

3/1/2007 7:13:59 PM

the multiplayer in this game is so fucking frustrating (mainly because you dont have a target reticle unless you stop completely)

i am so used to first person shooters that i just cant get the hang of this

what the hell do you have to do to master this

[Edited on March 17, 2007 at 12:32 PM. Reason : .]

3/17/2007 12:30:38 PM

call of duty is like that as well. i tried to get the hang of shooting while you run, but more often than not you are better off slowing down to aim (at least in cod).

3/17/2007 1:36:07 PM

its pissing me off

3/17/2007 4:29:30 PM

just aim durr...

and anytime you take damage the red blood that shows up in the middle of the screen is your crosshair...just use that to aim for headshots.

i am pretty sure that what ever you are shooting at has to be in the middle of the screen in order for you to hit it. draw and imaginary X on your screen to guide you to shoot at the intersection of the X and i am sure you will start hitting enemies. didn't you read the book about video game theory??

i didnt read the whole thing

[Edited on March 17, 2007 at 7:59 PM. Reason : .]

3/17/2007 7:59:20 PM

i think using a crosshair is cheap

3/18/2007 2:21:37 PM

me too guitarguy. i always turn it off whenever possible. it seperates men from mice.

3/18/2007 2:53:04 PM

Also, GoW is more of a strategy game (in my opinion), i think multiplayer for it is kinda weak, given that it really isnt designed as a first person shooter.

I have a much better time planning strategy in coop than multiplayer. I guess thats why I also like rainbow six vegas.

3/18/2007 4:15:59 PM

yeah me too. instead of bothering i just play COD3. might try some coop sometime though.

3/18/2007 6:22:21 PM

COD3 is another of my fav. multiplayer ones

3/18/2007 6:59:50 PM

even without multi though gears is just a gem.

3/18/2007 8:07:26 PM

Yeah, I play a lot of gears just because i think the gameplay is unbelievable.

3/18/2007 8:08:50 PM

twas quite fun single player, the only thing that pissed me off was those goddamn bat things in the shadows.

3/18/2007 8:19:24 PM

Yeah, those bats were annoying as shit, they kept mowing down Dom when he was computer AI.

Its much better on Co-op when you dont have to worry about dom being a pathing idiot.

3/18/2007 8:21:41 PM

they are called krill

3/18/2007 8:34:06 PM

^^ least he pops up even after getting whooped as long as no other enemies are around

^ k, i thought i recalled that but it just didnt sound right for some reason

3/18/2007 8:35:56 PM

I just got this game. It rocks!

4/5/2007 8:50:10 PM

any thoughts on "annex" gamemode?

4/6/2007 10:34:26 AM

on what?

4/7/2007 5:23:04 PM

read up, theyre releasing a new game mode for multiplayer

4/7/2007 9:05:10 PM

meh, id still rather play another game with more modes and more ppl per side.

4/7/2007 9:09:37 PM

i'd really just like some more maps

"t boils down to the pair saying they'd wanted to release new Gears maps for a while (and have FOUR good to go), and had wanted to do so for free, but Microsoft had other plans, instead having them charge for them. Sucks, yeah, but we already knew that's how they roll. Mark Rein hit the Gears forums yesterday to calm people: Epic thinks the way to maximize the return on Gears of War is to give the maps away for free and Microsoft thinks the way to maximize the return on Gears of War is to sell the maps. So what we've agreed to do is to put these maps on sale at a reasonable price then make them free a few months later. Sounds fair. You want to pay, you pay, you don't, you wait. Everyone wins. Why was this such a issue, again?"

4/9/2007 11:31:53 AM

Annex is a blast

4/10/2007 3:36:03 AM

so are they multiplayer maps or campaign or both?

[Edited on April 12, 2007 at 1:20 PM. Reason : details plz]

4/12/2007 1:20:46 PM

its just a new game mode, they havent released anything for sp or new maps besides the 2 a couple months ago

4/12/2007 1:28:41 PM

what is the game mode?

4/12/2007 1:29:43 PM

ANNEX, like 3 posts up

4/12/2007 1:41:53 PM

annex is crazy.

if i were any good at this game i'd love it.

4/12/2007 1:49:18 PM

my Xbox is screwed up and I can't play this game for more than 15-20 min without it giving me a dirty disc error.

This is one of the only games it does this with too!

4/12/2007 1:51:56 PM

maybe its the game and not the xbox then???

4/12/2007 2:12:20 PM

^^ i had the same problem the other day. first time it's ever happened and it was on gears.

4/12/2007 2:14:15 PM

Well, it happens constantly on Gears and less often (but still enough to piss me the hell off) on fight night.

They were both used games though. Both games I have gotten brand new, Burnout and Guitar Hero, have never had that problem.

So I would assume it may be the game, but after looking online and seeing how tons of people have problems with their 360 doing this, I don't really know. I'm going to rent a copy and see if it works better.

4/12/2007 2:32:15 PM

i get that read error all the time on NCAA football and now hockey all the time

both discs are flawless


shit pisses me off because this is my 2nd xbox

4/12/2007 9:07:10 PM

i had that problem with morrowind and it is the only game ive ever had the issue with. it started after i had played the game for 27 hours. i returned it to best buy and got a new copy. that one also started doing it at just about 27 hours into the game.

kinda odd.

4/12/2007 9:50:41 PM

played Gears for 40 minutes tonight without it telling me the disc was dirty.

It made me happy.

4/12/2007 11:40:24 PM

my xbox was part of the first shipment. i was scared and got the protection plan. so far I havent had any issues. cept it does run hot as hell.

Oh and Im stuck on Raam on insane mode. MOFO is a badass when playin by yourself.
Screw you Dom you worthless POS

[Edited on April 13, 2007 at 1:00 PM. Reason : .]

4/13/2007 12:59:23 PM

to beat raam on nsane by yourself, you have to pin him...from the door run to the second solo barrier and try to bait him in front of it...then shotty til death. it takes a few tries.

GoW "Hidden Fronts" Map Pack hitting Thursday

Quote :

"On Thursday May 3rd at 4:00 AM EDT, four new Gears of War maps will be hitting Xbox Live Marketplace as part of the "Hidden Fronts" Multiplayer Map Pack. Running you 800 Microsoft Points, you'll be able to do battle on Process, Garden, Subway, and Bullet Marsh. For those of you concerned about the price, fret not, as you'll be able to download the pack for free four months later, on September 3rd, 2007. We've got the map descriptions from the press release after the break, but the question we've got for you is this: Are you going to get the maps now, or wait a bit first to see if it's worth your hard earned points and hold off till they're free in the fall? "Bullet Marsh: In this Kryll-infested swamp, an old generator still powers the area lights. A few stray bullets could easily knock out the generator, leaving combatants to fend for themselves against the Kryll. Garden: This overgrown and crumbling conservatory still has a working fertilization and pesticide system. This system can pose a serious hazard to anyone who ventures into the greenhouse without first venting the air. Process: Teams must fight for control of this subterranean Imulsion processing plant, still active despite the cessation of the Pendulum wars. Subway: Timgad's Central Subway station used to serve as a central hub for commuters. Now the tunnels are crawling with Locust.""
