[QUOTE="189419841894"][QUOTE="JohnnyCageMK"]

So why are you complaining? Everybody is using the same controller. Nobody has an unfair advantage you just suck.

vtbob88

because the player doesnt make all the crosshair movement decisions himself the game helps. ITS RANDOM ITS NOT SKILL

In the time that I have spent with the games I never noticed any aim assist, I know what you are talking about because I have seen it in other games but not in gears or halo...as far as I know

i played halo since 11-15-2001 it has forced aim assist and no halo game on xbox or 360 lets u turn it off there's also melee aim assist. Someone can run past ur crosshair and the game will pull in the direction they just ran. someone could be randomly shooting and someone runs past then game pulls crosshair and kills them. LOL the player didnt do it no freaking skills

I like halo but aim assist killed any true competitiveness the multiplayer. Even when someone kills me with aim assist i dont feel like im getting owned because i know the player didnt make every crosshair movement himself.

Lol. Keep telling yourself that. I'm sure the top Halo players in the world have no skill, right?

The original was a good game , the 2nd one was pretty good except for the broken multiplayer, but the 3rd installment was complete crap. The story was garbage with a crap ending, i mean if Mass Effect 3 hadn't come along Gears 3 would have had my vote for worst ending ever. Its such a sad thing to see EPic games whoring themelves for MS and producing this garbage.

RawDeal_basic

Still mad about that 9.5?

Why would i be mad about a review score, i'm disappointed that the game wasn't better.

I miss pc ports because alot of them on xbox like soldier of fortune 2 or unreal 2 the awakening. didnt even ship with auto aim/aim assist in the multiplayer. LOL Id get pissed if i got killed in these games because every player is doing the dead crosshair aiming themself.

Gears 3 was funny, ridiculous, but not nebulous like the past ones were. It didn't offer dark, worn-out environments, but was mostly bright, and a little more cheery-feeling. The bosses, the fact that six Cogs could take down one (I'm no spoiling it, but it's big) ruins how big and frightening they were supposed to be in the first two games. The game was almost too easy, considering I died about 3 times thanks to the new revive feature on Hard. Sure, it makes them more accessible, but they crossed the accessibility and easy-level line. The ending blew a fat one, honestly, if Killzone 3's ending didn't manage to make someone lose brain cells at its stupidity, this would have been one of the worst. But it was fun, and I want to play some bro-op co-op split screen.

Sawed-off was nerfed substantially shortly after launch. Shows how much you play the game.

Oh, I know it was nerfed, but that does not mean it isn't a cheap weapon. Gears is all about the nasher.

You probably are better than me. I'm not very good at Halo, or shooters in general. But you didn't answer the question...are you insinuating that the top Halo Players have no skill? I find that hard to believe. Also, gamer tag is in my sig if you feel like buzzing me.

They have map control skills but they cant prove they have better aiming skill on analog because aim assist is preventing them from showing me.

GEOW3 MP alone is better than a full packaged GEOW2. Hard to be disappointed with that result.

You know, I actually wouldn't mind playing Gears 3. It looks pretty fun IMO. I enjoyed the first two games, but never got around to playing Gears 3.

Does anyone know how active it is online (as of now)?

SaltyMeatballs

Yeah it's pretty active, but you need DLC to have access to the dedicated servers, otherwise you get P2P connections. There is some non-DLC servers but they're pretty much dead.

The game is great otherwise, I got pissed off that having bought the game late I was required to get DLC to enjoy the online properly; servers were a selling point (especially after Gears 2).

Oh, cool. Thanks for the info. I saw it on amazon for $35, so I might get it soon. :cool:

[QUOTE="189419841894"][QUOTE="JohnnyCageMK"][QUOTE="189419841894"]Id like to see these kids who think they're hardcore because they play halo and gears beat me in quake 1-3 on computer the game that started internet deathmatch in the first place **** they couldnt.

They would probably say the same thing about you for sucking at Halo and Gears.

They cant quake doesnt have aim assist game aiming for you lol and poor weapon balance.

Gears of war has next to no aim assist. Nice try though. And by the way, I was a Quake III semi-pro. 113 public game win streak. I would whoop your ass in all 3. Halo, gears, Quake, CSS, whatever. You would get wrecked. And Quake had balanced weapons? :lol: Ever heard of the BFG, or maybe the rocket launcher? The only weapon in quake that required any sort of skill and precision was the railgun. Sure, the game had no auto-aim, but every weapon either spams at a high rof or has splash damage. Just because a game is on a console, doesn't make it take less skill or be easier. The only recent PC sooting game I can think of that takes more skill than Gears is Tribes Ascend, and even that is just because it is so different from everything else.

Its so annoying when people act like Halo and Gears are luck based games. Even though its always the same players dominating and the same players going negative. Even the closest shooter to being luck based COD its always the same players going 30-5 and the crappy players going 2-20. People just can't admit they suck at a game and just play for fun it always has to be the games fault.JohnnyCageMK
You know, you might be on to something there. But I do find myself complaining in Cod games even though I'm MVP. I guess I just don't like dying to random BS.

Frst one was fresh and the story kept you going, second was had the best overall experience, by the third one it was just going through the motion with a handful of good set-pieces.

Why Gears 3 is legendary: it's the rawest, most badass multi-player, that's balanced, beautiful, and controls great. The content and unlocks are plentiful and satisfying. There's literally nothing in the world that plays like it. Horde is also the best of its kind, I'd say. Spec-Ops Survival in MW3 is a close second (since its only 2 players).

EDIT: If you're only playing the sinlge-player, then maybe it's disappointing.

9.5 on gamespot, 9.1 metascore and 9.2 user score sounds disappointing to you?

Gears 3 is the best in the series and one of the best/most polished games this gen.

PAL360

Review scores don't make a game good, look at GTA4, it got a 10 but alot of people didn't like it.

user score is a good indication.

Only use score when it suits your argument I see.

Played a couple of levels in co-op last night. This game is soooooooooooo damn boring. It's just one boring battle after the other, sometimes interrupted by a crappy cut scene. The dialogue is one bad joke after the other. How the hell does this game get this much praise?! It's BAD.

Gotta play the series from begging to last. It gets the praise from fun gameplay, fun co-op, solid multiplayer.

I've played all the games. This is my second time playing the 3rd. It's bad. Playing all three games in a row only make sit worse.

The gameplay in the campaign is NOT FUN. It's wave after wave in boring environments filled with chest high walls, interruptedby cutscenes with some of the worst dialogue of this gen. Horde is the same thing, but without the crappy story, which is a good thing, but it also quickly gets old. The MP is pretty good fun with friends though, but too bad you can't even play on the dedicated servers without buying their crappy map packs. Again, it's a bad game.

The only thing it didn't deliver on was the ending. Otherwise, it's truly a monster of a sequel. Great single player, Co-operative modes and some of the finest console competitive multiplayer. Great game.

Dialogue is bad 90% of games nowadays. Its expected to be bad, What makes Gears good is the tight controls and the fun you have playing along with a buddy. Most games tat have coop are boring by yourself, but its way better playing along with a friend. Its hardly a bad game., just mroe fun played with a friend..

Yes most games have bad dialogue, but then again, most games didn't have the budget that Gears had. Maybe if they had hired a good writer, it wouldn't have sucked as bad? The gameplay can be the best thing ever, but when the story in a mode that centers around it sucks so bad, it's just not a good game. Gears is not a good series. Unless you have bad taste or low standards.

Lol, u mad? The weapon is cheap. I'd rather have gnashers only any day.

How is it cheap if everyone can spawn with it?

Any (non power weapon) with the ability to kill three people with one shot is cheap imo.
