[quote name='knightsmith']Did anyone else that preordered from BB, today get an email with the code for the baird Pre-order. Looks like I got another one to go on ebay![/QUOTE]
I got a code from BB for Gears 3 preorder content. I don't see anywhere in the email what it is, but I'm assuming it is mechanic Baird.
I didn't even know about mechanic Baird until after I picked up the game. I wasn't too hung up on whether I'd ever get it or not. Nice surprise to see it show up. Even if it's a week later.

[quote name='hustletron']Nemesis is getting killed by someone 3 times.
Wow, had an odd CTL on check out with hellspawn. We managed to kill the leader and then it was like an execution match where once everybody died, it said the leader was captured by nobody. Very odd match.
My Savage Kantus code just sold on eBay for $29.95. I'm a tad worried that they might turn around and claim the code didn't work after they cash it in, but I suppose it's worth the risk. ???

it baffles me what people pay for dlc stuff especially something like a character skin or a flaming helmet. hopefully they dont screw you over.
I honestly didn't think Myrrah was that bad. From the reactions I'd been reading, I felt like she was going to give a real hard time. I think I only got downed like once.
I do agree that the AI is almost too helpful though. I played through on Hardcore & felt this was by far the easiest of the 3 games. I still thought the story was enjoyable though. It didn't leave me as wowed as I was at the end of GOW2, but it was still pretty solid. I had fun.
I am beginning to find some annoyances with the multiplayer. I thought they "fixed" the kick when you jump over obstacles but the more I play the more I am getting annoyed by its inconsistency. Sometimes I jump and no kick while some other times when I am close to the end of the obstacle instead of a jump I start running. I may need some people to start playing with because whenever I play on some maps like the beach one my team is usually a bunch of idiots that can't act like a team and we loose. When I play in smaller maps I can usually carry the team on my back since I don't have to worry about getting shot from pretty much anywhere in the map with "special" weapons.
The beach map has quickly become almost as lame as the river map. It's all about controlling the damn center. It's just king of the hill no matter what match-type.
I hate the multiplayer in this game. I'm sticking to co-op campaign and horde/beast mode.
I can understand getting killed in one hit to a sawed off (even though that's dumb). But I was getting killed in one hit by the gnasher. Roll, shotgun, roll, shotgun.
I'm loving horde even more than ever now. Even more than from gears 2.
that last fight was a ing bitch with my and my roommate. mainly becase my checkpoint was lacking ammo and the AI i dumb as shit and she kept breaking throguh and killing Adam.f- jsdufhdusfhusdfhsdhfdsigvdsivsifsdigidfidfipdher all those respawns and being shot at from 80 different locations. that.
I'm trying to boost up 100 Field Commanders so I can unlock the Unlimited Ammo Mutator. It's kinda easy, but it's also kind of tedious. After that, I need 150 more kills for insta-gib melee attacks. Those will make Insane Horde and Beast much easier.

Good idea, i really never thought about using mutators for anything other than campaign. Wonder if it gives you unlimited ammo for guns you pick up like boomshots or the hammer of dawn.
[quote name='Indignate']You're gonna ruin the game, Broly![/QUOTE]
After trying the final boss on Hardcore Arcade, I have one thing to say: that Bitch! And since Arcade Mode resets your Weapons and Ammo after every Chapter (I.E. no Boomshots/etc. for the Final Boss), that Bitch even more! And Insane Horde too. It took a group of 5 people to take down Wave 50 of Casual Horde. I hate to see what Insane Horde will look like. Although I suspect Overpass wasn't the best of Map Choices.
The map the group I did it with used Overpass, but the center is a major weakpoint because you can get attacked from all sides on it. If I had to guess, Sandbar's the best for Horde since it has 2-3 spots you can be safely at any given time, in addition to being the biggest.
So I decided to man up and play 1 match of Wingman. I got there late, but took our team from 2 points to 9, and had a 5.0 K/D ratio. The 1 death was my own fault since I used a Boomshot really close. Every single time though I was one of the last 2 guys standing.
i am now 1st in the CAG #1 group with 675 points, but thats only 2nd in the CAG #2 group. Im only missing 6 achievements.
- Maximum Multiplayer bonus (should be easy)
- Earn Onyx "War Supporter" medal (so i have to wait for epic special events?)
- Reach level 50 (in due time, im at level 33)
- Earn Bronze "Force Multiplier" medal (shouldnt be that hard to do)
- Earn Silver "Number 1" Medal (umm player 1 vs player 2 controllers? LOL)
- Level 100 + Every Onyx medal (BAHAHAHAHAHA YEAH RIGHT. No one will get this before the contest is over.)
So i might be able to get 4 of the last 6 i need before this contest is over. War Supporter and Seriously 3.0 should be 2 achievements that no one gets before the contest is over that is.

Yeah i believe you can get Number 1 by playing Act 2 chapter 7 with player 2 controller. Its pretty fast level, i was trying to do this with the 10x, but i couldnt seem to hit the 3rd airship. I always aim too high. Also the reavers seem like they are further back than what i seen in a video. IDK, ill try it again sometime soon. Thanks for the tips.
Oh and king if you want to beat the final boss, try searching a 4 player co op. I beat it like that on insane, so its not too hard. It does take a while. I think the hardest part of the boss fight is when
those little flying things that shoot you come out near the end. Those things will F you up!

Well when I tried it we didn't really have a Strategy.
We thought using multiple Hammers at once would work better, but it's actually worse. The Theron Guards were actually more troubling since they consistently killed the shit out of us. Staying behind cover on the inner ring is probably the way to go, but I'm not entirely sure.
I assume with infinite ammo it would be a lot easier.
2-7, the 3rd ship is the toughest to hit by far, and you basically have to start firing after Marcus says his line because that's when you'll be in range of it. I'll do that one by myself though since 2-player would make it really hard with my setup.

Well if you plug in player 2 controller, arcade, chapter 1, prologue, you can get number 1 ribbons that way. Takes 2 or 3 minutes. Not sure but it might go by itself after you walk outside and shoot someone to get the high score. Not sure if the events are triggered by kills or by time.
NEMESIS is "Killed same opponent 5 times". I barely played MP and i have that ribbon 34 times. Vengeful is the medal you get for executing a nemesis. The problem is people seem to think you get nemesis when you die from the same person 5 times, but its not entirely true. Trust me, ive only played vs bots, maybe a couple online MP games, and there is no way i even died more than 5 times in a match. I think Nemesis probably goes both ways. Either you get killed by the same guy 5 times or you kill the same guy 5 times. That makes A TON of sense to me. Not sure if it would work if say i killed a guy 3 times and the same guy killed me 2 times. But im pretty sure it goes both ways, not just you being killed by someone 5 times. Im surprised the topic on epic forums is so long, and no mod has stepped in to say hey now! Also they say that it has to be 5 kills in a row, or it resets. Sorry but thats wrong too. I remember playing a bunch of bots, 35 man TDM, and after a while i was killing everyone and the little double knife icon was poping up after everyone i killed. Its times like these where i get annoyed seeing people get mad over false information, like i said... i wonder why an epic employee hasnt stepped in and said you are wrong. Maybe they are just sitting back laughing their asses off.
Me and my two friends (NoxMaxwell and F3ar Scar3crow) are all sitting in the top 5 currently in the 360voice group #2, tomorrow were going to collect all of the collectibles and get that secret achievement out of the way then start our insane playthrough. Then I only need 3 more levels until 50 and I need to get the number one to silver then I'll have all the achievements you can get, and they both should be getting them all as well since were all working on them together.

There are already a few people in the winning group with 830/1000 (the max gamerscore until Epic has held 30 community events, which are necessary for the War Supporter Onyx medal). It would be cool if everyone in the CAG groups at least had more than 0 though. :lol:
Cleared wave 50 on Overpass last night with 7th Number, Dakonn, and a couple of randoms. We kind of lucked out getting Savage Corpsers and Serapedes for our wave 50 bosses on the first try-- the Lambent Zerker we had for wave 10 was almost worse.
I'm down if anyone wants to do a 4-player co-op group, Insane or otherwise.

Horde Boss waves on insane take forever specially if its the
If you have any worthwhile tips for dealing with them or any other boss waves on Horde I would appreciate it. That's an achievement I want to mop up as soon as humanly possible. From what I gathered from playing with randoms online the only way to open them up for damage is with a Scorcher or Incendiaries. Or is that only for the regular kind? How does a Silverback fare against both? I wish Beast Mode were longer than what is it now... like... 12 - 15 waves? If it were 25 or more I would have the perfect Gears detour for when the MP servers are offline.
Well, now im not so sure how this vengeful medal works. I just did a private bot match of TDM, 4 rounds, 35 lives. I had 125 kills and 14 deaths. But i got the nemesis ribbon 9 times. I also got 19 Methodical ribbons (execute 5 people in a round, so 95 of my kills were executions). I got 0 kills towards vengeful medal (execute your nemesis). So maybe you DO have to die to trigger that medal to count? IDK but seems pretty stupid since im getting nemesis ribbons, and when i curb stomp a guy it shows the nemesis icons. Yet it doesnt count? What?
Also things that i found annoying...
- Trying to execute someone is too hard, its like you need to be looking directly in their direction, if they move an inch the Y button icon will go away, then you have to center them all over again.
- Its double annoying when you have a teammate thats downed, and you are trying to execute with Y because most of the time i end up turning to look at where the downed teammate is.
Oh and those bastard bot teammates that steal my kills! :lol:

Panda: They were offline last weekend. I haven't bothered to check the status of them now. I heard they addressed the problem some time yesterday but a large majority of the games I played were still P2P.
7th: I hear you. I very RARELY execute in this game and only under specific circumstances where there is no way in hell some jackass will steal it or I'll die for it. The revive system is even worse assuming you have the reflexes of the Flash in the first place due to the high damage output of all loadout weapons. Seems like the game prioritizes weapons pick ups over everything else. I'm never going to get my God Complex title at this rate. There's very little incentive in being a team player when normal mechanics hinder you like that.
LOL. There's a new Amazyn vid on how to Lancer for the non-stop Sawed-off hate:
Thumbs up since that gun is a downing beast in this game. I now prefer it over the Hammerburst just to piss people off and guarantee I get more of my downs from huge distances before others can steal them. I need to work on getting my Retro back up to par. I've been practicing proper bursting in campaign but all to often whenever I pick one up I immediately wish I had a Lancer or Hammerburst instead.

Does anyone know what it is when i info thing pops up during gameplay (lower right hand corner) and it shows a star and says something like 150 kills, or drone kills, or something like that. Its not the ones that show you moving ahead of someone on your friends list. Just a big star and the info like 150 kills.
