Gears of War - Scratch one Grub

[Space Suicide]

Hit Re-Up number four today...thinking it's a taaaaad bit easier to level up than the previous two Gears games lol.

It is. In previous games getting from around level 70 to level 100 was a slow, long grind. Unsure when any of you have played Gears of War 3 last (I regularly play it least once a week, have been ever since it came out) but they have like a double/triple/quadruple XP modifier (unsure which it is) permanently now so it's not so hard to level up on there either. Few, solid KOTH matches net huge XP. Even though I'm at Gold Wings (Level 400), I still net about anywhere from 28,000 to 40,000 XP a match.

On the way to Re-Up 6. The party don't stop.

Official information regarding the first add-on DLC drops tomorrow. Also, melee hits going to 3 to kill, including Wretches in Overrune (thank fuck).

Call To Arms DLC drops on Tuesday.

Summary:

- Three new maps including Blood Drive.
- New game mode 'Master At Arms' which is similar to CoD's gun game mode; FFA with the objective being to get a kill with all the different weapons without melee or grenade kills.
- 10 more achievements for 250g.

Blood Drive rehash again? At least I like the map.

Glad to see the melee is addressed. That shit never worked before and now it's all anyone used.

About halfway to re-up 7. The new Overrun map Terminal is great. Kinda digging the Master At Arms mode too.

I hate Free For All so I'm not playing it much. I haven't gotten Terminal yet due to low playlist numbers having it so I guess I'll find out Tuesday.

Various updates in the works:

- Dual-Loadouts will be implimented in all modes aside from FFA.
- Stim Grenades will be removed from all modes aside from FFA as well.
- Gnasher will spawn with 16 shots in all modes also. These changes will go live "soon".
- Locust in Standard MP: Not looking possible, but they are looking into improving audio and other things.
- Ranked matches will be getting a larger EXP boost, w/ possibility of different, more competitive swaps.
- Possibility of lowering mag size for the Lancer in all modes. (being tested as we speak).
- Audio changes: Enemy footsteps can be altered to sound different than friendly footsteps.
- Hill break time in Domination will be made faster.
- Prizeboxes: They will now always give prizes. No more XP, until you get all the unlocks/skins.
- (Test Server): Pull Grenades from Ammo Boxes. No more grenade refills from ammo boxes.
- Horde will not be returning to Judgment. "Too much of a lift at this point".

Hit re-up 7 and managed to kill a reaper to get the medal! Not a bad afternoon at all...

I have yet to ever encounter one but I don't play Free For All so doubt I ever will. It's a cool medal and skin but it's too damn hard and elusive to even get. Should've been handled better to me. No way in hell will the entire community ever get it.

In other news, the dual loadouts made this game 50% funner than it ever was. Baffling to me that people are actually complaining on EPIC Games Forums about the dual loadouts. I love Gnasher shotgun fights too but damn, we need more than that shit in this game. The dual loadouts made it better balanced, have more variety and turned up the tactical factor a bit.

Me and my group are going to enjoy the hell out of it tonight by playing Execution.

New DLC drops next week, officially announced very soon.

DLC contains "new maps and some other stuff and a new gametype. Team-based, single objective, that's all we'll say for now."

Please by King of the Hill!

[october_midnight]

They said it's something that Gears has never had, and is something 'people have been asking for'. I assume it's a bomb type game like CoD or something.

Minute's difference posting.

I really like the look of Lost City's layout.

I too acknowledge that I posted it a minute later.

Microsoft Buys Rights to Gears of War Franchise, New Developer Black Tusk Studios to develop along with Rod Ferguson.

Xbox One Gears of War game? FUCKING HELL YEAH!

Hope they don't mess it up!

[october_midnight]

Talking with Rod about his move here to Vanouver this morning. Expect more than just a game announcement this year.

[october_midnight]

Gears of War 1 remastered Ultimate Edition comes out in August.

[Space Suicide]

[Space Suicide]

BETA BITCHES

Get it while its hot.

[october_midnight]

Whoa, thought this was for Gears 4 when they announced it. Just the remaster? Big whoop.

[Space Suicide]

Well this is my favorite game series and its an awesome game. Minus 3's gameplay the first is/was my favorite. The beta handles like a dream. Highly recommended!

Mmmmm I cannot fucking wait.

Wow, a lot of these players are fucking garbage. I had the longshot and he was lancering me from spawn when I was aimed at him...needless to say he lost his head.

I bet there's a lot of people that got this beta that never touched this or even any game within the series once. Launch day will be fun.

[Space Suicide]

August 25th is so far away haha.

Gears 4 cast revealed.
