Gears of War 3

[FlowdaBroncoFan]

I am so stoked for this game. Gears 2 was a great game and alot of fun online. I heard they pushed back the release date from April to Sept. Can anyone confirm?

That is true, they had a few reasons, one was to fix things, another was so people can have a beta, and another was the fact that there coming out with a Gears 1 & 2 collectors edition this month. That comes with both Gears 1 and 2, plus the DLC from Gears 2.

As a Gears fan I enjoyed both, but like other fans of the game would say, Gears 1 was the better online game, Gears 2 story was far better.

Gears to me is like Halo, it rules out camping. It's very hard to camp in Gears, and shotgun battles are beast.

Looking forward to it, I think I'll pre-order it this month or next month.

I will as well. Have you heard any new weaponry or anything on the storyline?

[InsaneBlaze23]

Game Informer had a whole spread on it. There are a few new weapons, one of which is the Lancer but with a bayonet on it. There is a new enemy along with the locust, and the COG is pretty much dead and disbanded, with only a few remaining Gears that still fight.

Until they get a clue and stop making the host insanely strong, I'll only be buying it for the brilliant campaign and then shall return via Banshee to Halo Reach.

I hope so as well. But really you just have to be better than the host.

So many things factor into being able to even have a shot at beating the host. First, if they bridged host/knows they have host, then of course they're going to take full advantage of it. Second, if you do manage to beat up on the host, there's always the possibility of them quitting and since Gears is unable to switch the host, the game ends and it all was for not.

Being better than the person with the host advantage doesn't necessarily mean you can beat them. Having a good team helps as well.

I'm not saying it can't be done, because my comrades and I have accomplished it many times. I'm just saying that the host advantage in Gears of War 1 & 2 is ridiculous.

Host advantage

Personally, I like Xbox Live for Gears, it's unique and quite enjoyable. But it is my belief that many more people would be playing it online if the host was not so dominate.

For some reason I've never been interested in the series, however the game looks pretty good from a graphical standpoint.

IMO, most haters pf the game, either suck at it, don't like shooters, or never played it.

The first GoW was awesome.

But I'm not a fan of GoW2, I still play GoW with my friends once or twice a week.

It's not that I hate the game, I've just never been interested in it. Heck that's how I first felt about Mass Effect, I wasn't interested in it, but once I played it, it offically became one of my favorite franchises.

Something about Gears just doesn't look all that appealing to me. But like I said, graphically, it looks amazing.
