    Cant fucking get 10 kills as leader. I get 5 or 6 and then the match is over. Not to mention this encourages bad play by your leader leading them to get killed and costing you the win.

    I heard that the maps when in private mode don't have the weather effects.

    Any truth to this?

    Ive seen people play bot games before it came out and it still had the effects. So I don't think its true.

    Edit- Apparently guardian can not be added to a private playlist since its dlc and they cant make a dlc only playlist. /shrug

    My TV has been broken for 2 weeks straight (going through the BS repair process) so I would login and play if I could, you know, see the screen.

    Have you tried the power of imagination? Also what happened to it if you dont mind me asking?

    Now that's interesting... Mechanic Baird and Mechanic Baird LE have two different bios. Commando Dom's (both regular and LE) are the same.

    It's like Foreshadowing on steroids.

    Worse , foreshadowing didn't have a set of skins tied to it . Since this one does I live in constant fear of my leaders stupidity.

    Lambent Invasion: “Go Glowie” this weekend as Lambent forces take over Horde. More explosions, more mutations, and of course, more Zerkers to spread that Lambent love. Grab some friends and head online, as there’s no better opportunity to earn those Forces of Nature Achievements. You’ll also be earning 2x XP in Horde and Beast!

    There will also be a special Execution playlist with Raven Down 24/7 that will take 10 rounds to win. The weapon load-out will be Gnashers and the special one shot Snub, so watch your head! The event runs through 9:00 AM EASTERN April 2nd.

    Also be sure to look for a special Gnasher skin!

    So. Who's available tomorrow? It's a Saturday, it's double XP, there's a Lambent event - it's the perfect time for an achievement lobby or even just some Horde.

    I'll be in an Xbox Live Party almost all day, so if you want in and you're not on my list, send me a message and I'll get you an invite ASAP. My Gamertag is Willeth.

    Cool. Any idea what the codes are for?

    EDIT: "If you’re heading to PAX East this year look for the Epic Easter eggs hidden around the convention center to find Gears of War 3 DLC codes, HeroClix and other prizes!"

    Heh, kind of a dick move to start using Jazz Jackrabbit for marketing when they've flat out said a new game isn't a priority for them.

    Anywho, I was kinda sad they didn't have a panel at PAX Prime last year (There was a fan put-together one for the Gears community, but that was it) and now Epic has a panel all to themselves this year at PAX East. FRUSTRATION! Hopefully they'll have another one at PAX Prime this year.

    So you know that 24/7 Raven Down Playlist?
    It randomly switches to other maps.

    April Fools, apparently

    I haven't tried that yet. I'll experiment and let you know how it works.

    I do mind you asking.


    Ok not really. It just broke. One day it worked fine, then in the afternoon it won't turn on. Repair guy has been to my house 3 times and has no idea why. The main board shorted out and blew the power board as well, he replaced both but has no idea why it's not working. Now the TV turns on but there's no picture. After this last repair he'll have replaced every part possible inside my TV and hopefully the manufacturer will replace it after this.

    If you ever have to have your TV repaired, just slit your wrists instead.

    Spending a lot of time today inviting people on the metatag who are playing Gears who are just ignoring it. One dude just joined the party, never plugged a mic in, then immediately left. That's a little rude.

    Hah, sorry dude. Wasn't directed at you. I'm actually heading out for about an hour or so but will be back then. Bogart and I have been playing on and off for the last while too, so that'll be three. If anyone else wants in, be around in an hour.

    Yeah, it's cool. We have a newborn in the house, so sometimes I'm just playing private matches in between diapers.

    With the 2xp weekend Guardian is a fucking cesspool. I would stay clear of it since its either full groups going for ivory ( whose fucking genius idea was this anyway?) or idiots trying to do it solo and dying in the first two minutes. That said a good koth game will get you 8-9k xp so I think I will play that for the rest of the weekend.
