Our rules have been updated and given

Speaking of, does the infinite ammo carry over to Clay's bow and Sam's Longshot in arcade or is it just for the starting rifles/shotguns?

Oh sorry man , I only played three games anyway . Now im watching a movie lol. Could of used you since I ended up joining a game in the middle of the first round and had to cary a level 17 15 80 and 60 against a team of green levels. We won but I had to drag them by the fucking hair.
edit-I am 6 executions from my gold execution medal and my batteries are dead.
Maybe not today, but I'm up for achievementing the new ones soon. Maybe when Forces of Nature comes out and we can knock out a bunch at once?

Comes out the 27th of next month man that's a long time to wait.
I might as well go into ranked alone if it thats how its going to be.
When I was on Gears 3 MP, I did ranked solo at times. It's pretty much a guaranteed dedicated server to play on.
I have a lot of GoW3 achievements that I'd like to knock out too. Definitely wouldn't mind doing a PA group session if I don't get around to a TA grouper first.
Guess which one out of us two really hates Gears of War now?

Lol don't like him THAT much. It was just super cool to see a player that I know of in my games. I did pretty well too .

Saturday from 8 am - 3pm im at a military event. After that sure just invite me when you see me on.
May I ask who it was?
Jaieazy , he does some cod videos too. No one too major but I thought it was cool.
No , you were just subconsciously posting in the superior third person multiplayer game.
Well played a few hours today , had some fun. The real highlight of the day was learning that MREs don't suck. They gave us some for lunch and they were actually pretty decent . The cookie was AWESOME. At least I know I wont go hungry.
I have a tumblr.
Check it out.

Probably gonna be picking up that season pass sometime.
Overall, the story was pretty blah. Poor showing for a two month wait.
Commando Dom looks to be blue instead of green, and I think Mechanic Baird looks different as well. Not sure how the Loctus are different, I wanna say one of them is a Savage RAAM. (love the pic though with Baird doing his best "Hater's gonna hate" walk.)
7 new weapon skins, 2 of which were voted on by the community and will need to be unlocked.
5 maps (3 new, 2 Old favorites (Jacinto, Raven Down)). And the Triumphant return of Guardian!
Hopefully someone that isn't posting from a phone can give better details.
Not only that, but it took so long for me to find a match for this new gametype that it just stuck me in a game with all bots. Not sure if it's just my connection or if there really aren't that many people playing.
EDIT: Also, I just realized we now have a complete list of what's in the Season Pass.
For $30 you get
-3 Hour Long New Campaign Chapter
-7 New Maps (Academy, Aftermath, Anvil, Artillery, Cove, Depths & The Slab)
-3 Classic Maps (Escalation, Jacinto & Raven Down)
-Access to 3 Maps in Horde, Beast and Private Matches (Azure, Blood Drive & Rustlung) (Maps are available to everyone for free in public matches)
-12 New Multiple Skins (Alicia Valera, Bernie, Big Rig Dizzy, Michael Barrick, Minh Young Kim, Onyx Guard, RAAM, Recruit Clayton, Savage Hunter, Savage Marauder, Tai Kaliso, & Theron Elite)
-5 Reskinned MP Skins (Commando Dom LE, Mechanic Baird LE. Thrashball Cole LE, Savage Grenadier Elite LE, Savage Kantus LE)
-9 New Multiplayer Weapon Skin Packs (Chocolate Weapon Set, Jungle Camo Set, Liquid Metal Set, Team Plasma Set, plus five more)
-5 Unlockable Multiplayer Weapon Skin Packs (Re-Up Plasma, Re-Up Omen, Re-Up Electric, plus two more)
-Guardian Mode
-Re-Up Option
-New Horde Fortifications
-1000 New Achievement Points spread out among more than 25 achievements
Just wished the weapons skins weren't nickle and dimed... (unless it actually cost a nickle or dime instead of 2 or 5 dollars or whatever it was).

Here you go.
I think this is the all time lamest achievement "Kill a lambent beserker as a team of cloned Commando Doms and Mechanic Bairds"
Still no update for any of the calenders, as the Digger event from the end of February is still listed. Can't believe how hands off Epic is being considering we're just a little over a week away from a DLC release. That said, we can probably expect Title Update 4 next week, or in the very least the patch notes. Also, apparently that "Max out your fotifications" achievement is for retail fortifications only, so that means I've already gotten it
Also, there was some rumors floating around about Gears of War 4 for the Xbox 720, but they vague to the point where I'm comfortable ignoring them as unfounded speculation.
Finally, there's a small preview of the fifth book, The Slab, up on Amazon.
It was a familiar voice: silky, imperial, polished, and utterly human.
“Hello, Myrrah.” Adam Fenix found himself thinking of the terrible Locust food again. “You got my message, then.”
“And how right you were. We do need you. And we shall take you. I hope you’re not planning anything foolish. You have responsibilities, Adam.”
It would be a living death. The Locust Queen would never release him, even if he developed a countermeasure. But he didn’t deserve any better.
“I also have my service pistol.”
“And I can take your son at any time.”
He had the measure of her, then, and she had his. “You leave Marcus out of this. It’s a condition.” He opened the desk drawer and took out the handgun, a 9mm officer’s weapon. It made a distinctive clunk on the wooden desktop as he slammed it down. “If anything happens to him, I don’t care what happens to the rest of Sera.”
Title Update 4 tomorrow, patch notes in the spoiler
Savage Drone and Savage Grenadier can now “swat” turn in Beast mode
Spectator mode now starts viewing a player instead of a battle camera
Alternate control users in multiplayer will no longer look at DBNO characters when pressing R3
The crosshair for the Longshot and Hammerburst will now show an X if a shot is obstructed.
KOTH – ring locators are now visible in spectator mode
KOTH – some hill locations have been adjusted
BUG FIXES
The Onyx Guard decoy in Horde will not drop his rifle after exhausting the Vulcan ammo
Clients will no longer be stuck with a “Waiting For Players” message up if the host quits Horde during the progression screen
Chainsaw audio loop will now persist for listeners who leave the audible range and re-enter it
Fixed some instances where special event ribbons would not be properly awarded
COG pistol firing rate has been adjusted to be equal on host and clients
The Flaming Retro Lancer is now available for attendees of the first special event
Fixed some issues fixed related to the destruction of meatbags
The Slab start up screen no longer has debug text
After a host migration in Horde, the waves will no longer go past 50
Cover near the elevator on Hotel no longer allows players to lean outside of the visible area
Grenade throwers that are killed mid-throw will receive credit for any kills that grenade causes
Silverback will be disabled if hit by a smoke grenade when the driver is in the middle of the exit animation
Team Deathmatch time limit no longer resets to 3 minutes when both teams are out of respawns
Pretty meh, aside from the Flaming Retro finally being available to everyone. The manner in which it's being given out makes me think Epic is wrapping up it's work on Gears and just wanted to push all remaining content out in some fashion.
There's going to be a live stream from Rod on Wednesday. I'm fully expecting it to be full of already known information and useless answers to misunderstood questions. Should be fun.
