Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Whats funny is it does this even for bots. Like if you leave during a match it'll change the name of your character to the proper skin name, but show the one default one.
And you don't have to unlock the executions in multi to see them, you can do them all in single player. And torque bow is probably the nastiest by far.
It's weird, but sometimes the Retro's execution beheads sometimes. I don't know what causes it, but I remember getting it more than once.
Also feels like it does a piss-poor job of balancing teams. The moron team (My team) constantly gets steamrolled by the jesus-with-a-shotgun team.
Haven't seen it but I was kinda surprised when it didn't happen the first time I executed a drone with it. Definitely seems like that is what the intended effect should have been.
Still fucking awesome.
I got to see this as a ghost on the team with 2 people left. Two guys killed 9 fucking people on sandbar by just camping out in one of the sniper nests. This was with the digger being up on the map, they couldn't kill two fucking people WITH A DIGGER IN A TIGHT SPACE!
"Your mom is a classy lady."
Limited edition purchase justified, right there.
Hear that? That's the sound of Gear-heads masturbating furiously.
I dunno having read some youtube comments, its more about marcus and dom and their love for each other. Brothers in the End indeed.
I'd buy it. It's a shame that Anya, Jace, and Sam didn't get much opportunity for character development.
So last night I played with a group of 5 of my friends and went into public TDM. I can vouch for teamwork being more important than individual skill in this game. We only lost 1 match the whole night. I actually feel kind of bad for some the people we played against. The highlight of the night was four of us downing the last man, then letting him self revive, only to down him again. All to allow one member of our group drag the mortar across half of Drydock to execute him with it.
I'm pretty surprised at the difference team synergy made. When I go online alone, I get stomped. None of us are particularly skillful, but always having someone with you made all the difference. If you want to have a positive K/D in this game, basic teamwork is a necessity.
...is that an actual quote!?
They referenced Penny Arcade?
Fantastic.
I switched to Sam as my main to grind out that Battle Vixen Onyx Medal, and I gotta say, though she's no Dizzy, she has some great lines. Especially her retro charges; Uh. AH. AAAAAAAEEEEAH!
yea, I did most of them while playing through the campaign. the only one I need to do is Mulcher (gonna just go back to SP for that one because it's been hilarity trying to saunter over to someone in MP to do it w/o getting KS'd.
That said, they all seemed pretty much the same to me. Weapon + Opponent's head. I was hoping for more.
Punchings and arm beats are where it's at!
I need to unlock Civi-Anya so we can totally have a Charlie's Angels thing going on.
Work is boring. Need more Gears3!
Just having someone calling out where enemies are, and coordination makes a huge difference. Sadly when you are playing solo its like playing with the most retarded bots. Honestly I did better in a game when I have a team of bots vs the other team with humans, it was kind of sad. Bots spotted more often.
this is the true spice of life
Dude, this is Gears, you're given tools specifically for being a douche. My favorite is to run back and forth into people as my partner does the punching execution.
Though I understand what you mean about having to wait.
An extended execution? No biggy its the reward for finishing off the last guy in a match. Taking a human shield of a former enemy and then killing them while holding their dead body? Hilarious. But making 5 people wait before finishing a round is being a bit of a dick. Its like when I was in a round where all the regular players were dead but someone was afk so the other team didn't kill him, they sat there for a minute straight.
Agreed, and seconded. Even more-so if I'm on the team with players doing it.
What does running into people while they're doing the punching execution do?
And thats perfectly fine, because it turns a regular beating into a gang beating. And again makes a player wait only as long as the execution itself.
You're not listening to me. The cutscene didn't play at all. It didn't start playing and then get skipped after half a second once it became skippable, it didn't play at all.
Wait, why are you apologizing?
lol, true. I needed to get the Arm Beat execution for the achievement and I downed the last person. I felt like such a douche beating the guy to death at the end of the round, so I stopped. You know you've been playing multiplayer too long when you feel sympathy for your opponents.
No way thats some execution bonus points for each unwanted swing! Your enemy should feel your rage!
Anyway, if we get another canon immigrant I want Pad. We need more Irishmen with facial tribal tattoos blowing people's heads off.
Ginger's don't count unless he becomes the new default cog model, so I can literally beat him like a red headed step child.
It came from PA? Was it a webcomic or a forum meme?
