Gears of War 3 - Release Date Sept. 20

[quote name='The 7th Number']Shit i just bought that E3 Gears 3 theme like 2 days ago. :roll:

Gold lander would be cool but i have my Ticker, and Cole Train Plushy. So i think ill pass. Besides i dont think id want the gold version.[/QUOTE]


How is the theme pretty sexy? I think I may pick up the Golden Lancer for that price, I have no good props, would love a cole train plushie though! haha. I still have a 240ms point card that came with dance central that I need to use up by December.
 
[quote name='dotCody']That Cole Train Plushy will never be given again, huh? ='[[/QUOTE]

I don't think so it was only given out at PAX forgot which one i think East.

Please post a link :bouncy:
 
[quote name='PhiLeingFunkie']I checked both threads and don't see it? It's not listed on the first post of the gears pre-order thread, which is comprehensive up to this point.[/QUOTE]

That's because the information is buried in the last few pages of the Kmart thread. The op probably won't be updated until later this week.

Very much appreciated, both of you.

Always willing to help out a fellow CAG. If you have any issues next week there's contact information in the OP of the Kmart thread. Fire a detailed e-mail to Josh (SHC-Gamer) as instructed and he'll get you squared away asap.
 
I know I'll be feeding off the blood, sweat, tears and epic fail of anyone foolish enough try capping my rings in KOTH. [/cornball post of the day quota fulfilled]

I just want the damn game already. I'm itching to play on Hotel and Mercy so bad. Thankfully Rocky III is on AMC to help soothe the pain. What's the first game type everyone is heading straight towards on the 20th? Alone - TDM (gotta learn the maps); Team - KOTH or CTL (majority vote).
 
I'm going to dive into a few chapters of the story and then hop on TDM and beat down the GOW noobs who haven't played the first two. They'll be the ones walking in circles and not in cover :applause:

As for food? Whatever I can eat without hands lol!
 
[quote name='GUNNM']I wish pizza wouldn't make me shit uncontrollably[/QUOTE]
Maybe you should get more metamucil than prunes on your pizza.
 
Going to be putting back a few brewskis for Gears the night of the 20th. Sadly, my campaign co-op partner isn't free until that Thursday, but that just means I have two nights to destroy fools in online multiplayer.

Going to my local Costco and picking up this 24 pack! Food wise probably make some chicken breast earlier in the day so I can eat healthy while I play haha
 
Oh crap just been reading, I think I lost all my beta unlocks. I had to reformat my Xbox HD because it was acting weird and never thought to back up my beta data to a usb stick, I thought all the unlocks were saved server side on your gamertag the more and more I read it looks like you have to actually have that player data from the beta. If its true then oh well.

Yup you have to have that save. That sucks man. Epic really dropped the ball with the beta unlocks. Unless there is a way it saves it to your profile when you boot up gears 3 for the first time.
 
LOL. It's also been reported Joe or Rod said even after the paid WS business there were more than 7 weapon unlocks for retail via Twitter. I don't know who or what to believe anymore. Pretty skeptical a single title update would unlock that much camouflaged content, but maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised next week.

I hope the Cole Train news is a mistake. I'm sick of being led on and lied to because the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing at Epic. Can't us loyal fans and vets have SOMETHING exclusive for longer than five minutes? Jesus. I'm done jumping through imaginary hoops for extra content I'll receive later for free.
 
to be fair I will point my Mid Finger @ MS for the IO & Adam skins B.S. But yes no in-game exclusives. I think it's funny how alot of people have Downgrading to the LE or SE now due to the F.up. I'm just going to sit on my EE and wait for a better prince for the next 30day. I'm sure Toysus/amazon/kmart/target will do a crazy sale they didn't get any of the pre-orders goodies so I'm sure they will try and do a push on the games.
 
The same guy responsible for the Retro comparison vid uploaded a more detailed look via TDM on Overpass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE176NOcjbo

Might I say the Savage Drone is looking quite brolic. Very nice. I may have another Locust main besides Myrrah after all.

Since this is apparently a hot button topic on the official forums I might as well migrate it here to the thread moving: What's your stance on kill stealing in Gears?
 
Oh man, that video has got me riled on a level I cannot stand! Tuesday isn't coming fast enough. :(

As for your question, I don't mind it at all. Every kill stolen is still a kill for my team.
 
I generally loathe the practice as I'm a genuine team player by nature, but can appreciate the fact it's necessary in certain situations. The general unspoken rule of Gears is basically any down within walking distance is off limits, but any far beyond that is naturally forfeit. The rule receives a minor tweak for game types lacking Execution rules, but it's more or less concrete. Problem is a large majority of stolen kills in this game are deliberate acts of being a class S douche. More often than not the perps already lack the necessary skill to contribute in meaningful ways thus discrediting any sort of "for the team" bullshit logic. They aren't interested in winning that much. They usually do it to band-aid their wounded k/d to appear competent undermining the incentive of teamwork while reinforcing the same lone wolf sentiment that sabotages what could have been a guaranteed win.

Better players already have the burden of carrying them for the entire match. Why make matters worse for them by deliberately stealing their kills? It's more of a common courtesy/respect issue than about the kill IMO. Let that guy who earned the down get his just due if he's in the clear to get it, you know? Don't just walk up or take something that isn't yours after you've been revived then use flawed logic to mask you being a jackass.

I'm not criticizing people who do it by accident or kill someone who is about to get revived. It's common sense to kill them. I'm criticizing the scrubs who join games JUST to piss people off by doing it as much as humanly possible.

Why did almost everyone when they went down sound like Cole?
 
I think because there were at least three different variants of the character on the COG team. I definitely saw Superstar and Classic. Basic Cole was probably there too.
 
Is it weird that I'm looking forward to this more than I was my own birthday? The only thing I thought about on my birthday this year was "Ok, it's my birthday....that means 7 days until Gears."
 
Man, that guy makes the Retro look AMAZING. Sure it's more difficult to control, but it's still as strong as fuck! I'm glad to see that the Retro actually requires skill.

In the videos where people show the multiplayer characters, the theron guard has no helmet for his preview. Does he have no helmet in multiplayer as well?
 
[quote name='thrustbucket']Oh great. We are going to have entire teams of cole, aren't we....[/QUOTE]

Or Marcus... or Anya... don't forget Dom, Baird and the Carmines. Lots of characters have at least 1 - 3 variants. Not a big deal.

Dom: Of course not. Anyone who says different should be smacked on sight. I'm tempted to track down an early copy and kiss my VG unlocks goodbye. It's not like I'm going to use any of those gold weapons THAT much anyway. I just want my Gears. :cry:

Well, if the other gears are anything to go by, Cole will be the most common.

There's kill stealing and then there's finishing off downs.

If I down someone from across the map and my team mate is closer I don't mind them getting the kill cuz it will hopefully help us win and if there are a lot of enemies around I'm not going to run out in the open for that down. I usually call out my own downs that I'm not going after or I can't finish so that someone else can take it.

On the other hand if you're fighting with someone, for example in a shotgun battle or whatever and you down him, lets go as far as to even say this was the last enemy, then a team mate comes out of no where and takes the kill.

That's the fuckin lame bullshit that people do out of desperation usually because they are bad.


EDIT: That Savage Drone looks pretty rad, I'm liking the way Overpass looks too.

I hate it in Gears as much almost as much as I hated getting last stand kills stolen in COD. It should only be done if the game is super close and you just need people dead and gone or you're in a jam and you're outnumbered.

Remember that he's playing a bunch of retarded bots.
 
Out of the maps I've seen thus far I know my personal favorites will be Overpass, Hotel, Mercy, the new Thrashball (if people don't camp with rifles on the new pathways to the concession stands), Old Town and Checkout. Trenches is too plain and campy for me. Sandbar and Drydock remind me of CoD too much though I'm sure the latter will grow on me. And Gridlock though a decent map failed to impress me in the last two games. I'm sick of playing on it.

Opinions?
 
I'm sure the Retro wont be as bad as people are making it out to be since the beta, but I don't know if these vids are a good way to gauge it's effectiveness when he's playing against all bots.

I mean I guess it works great against bots but human players play differently and move differently.
