Gears Of War 3 [New Commentary Added 9/26/11]

This topic reads like a list of reasons why not to get the game.

Still a great game. I got it Yesterday and it's pretty fun. Only thing that even makes me mad is getting sawed off rushed constantly.

[hitokiri]

Took a day or two break due to school, and last few times I was on I was having lots of fun. Actually had quite a few Gnasher users out in the rounds, so was nice.

[iSinnnn]

always have to laugh at myself a little when i think the guy wallhugging has a sawed off, so i take it wide with waay too much confidence and out comes his gnasher to take me down.

[William-CL]

So I used the sawed off for awhile. Then I used the Gnasher... Gnasher needs a little more range I think.. I get sawed off kills from way further than melee range and I've been close with the Gnasher. Now I can't stand using the Gnasher and it makes me feel kinda nooby getting such easy kills with the sawed off..

[iSinnnn]

you are correct good sir, props to you for noticing. sawed off can blow people away from further away than the gnasher can. it's been proven and it's in the files.

got the green liquid metal set

[M3K0S]

i got it too from a code in a large soda from jack in the box

After hearing your feedback, we have reduced the gib range of the Sawed Off Shotgun in Gears of War 3 and it no longer gibs farther than the gnasher, effective today. We want to thank you for your helping us to make Gears of War 3 the best of the series.

I saw from Facebook while I was at school. This makes me happy. How effective was the change?

[iSinnnn]

it was noticeable in the few games i had time to play earlier. not MAJOR, but it's there. i think the most notable thing was how many people were actually picking gnasher in execution - probably because of the change.

trying to figure out if they gib from the same distance now or if the gnasher has a little bit more on it. also would like to play a bit more before forming a final opinion but it definitely improved gameplay a bit.

[M3K0S]

what does gib mean?
and i switched to the dark side... lancer for long range... sawed off for short

[hitokiri]

Okay, for all the people still wondering. It's when you One shot someone with a shotgun, torque bow, or boomshot. It originated from the QUAKE series, and stands for, which suprisingly little people know: Ground, Into, Bits.

I didnt know either. but i assumed instant death was the main idea.

The changes are subtle, but my gnasher made more sense last night. Any Sawed Off kills on me I would say were understandably close to make sense. It was nice. Im inspired to play more now, and I am actually thinking of videos again. so yay.

[iSinnnn]

yeah i got some more games in tonight. it still seems a bit far SOMETIMES. but i'm hoping it's just lag. it definitely makes a lot more sense now though, the questionable kills were mainly actives i think and it seems like the change has pushed a lot more people to use the gnasher which is great.

now if they'd just realize the hammerburst isn't a skill weapon and nerf it to the ground..

[M3K0S]

hammerburst is for people who can pull the trigger really fast.
with active u get downed in like 3 shots, its retarded

Yeah, went against someone today hammering, it was ridiculous how quick you drop against them.
