Anyone else dissapointed by the GOW3 beta?

I ve been playing today for around 4 hrs. The graphics are ok, i like that they are more colorfull this time around! I also liked what they did with some levels ( the desert storm and that thing falling off in the football field) but the gameplay it´s same old same old since gow1... not saying that it is bad but it feels boring and bit outdated comparing it with games like Uncharted and dead space :/ The weapons are very shallow in my opinion, its all about run and gunshot :/

Anyways i will probably be picking it up at lunch but i was expecting more than just a graphics update :(

well IDK what you expected its gears and its not like the their gonna completely change the game for a sequel. Imo it's great and the improved a lot. For one mainly is the lag is next to gone for the most part and makes the game much more enjoyable. Now i know there was supposed to be servers but there's still host migration so idk what the deal is but its generally a lag free exp. The graphics are better and the frame rate is smoother. They've also increased the speed from gears 2 so its much faster.

It's baffling when you say that it feels outdated compared to dead space and uncharted when those games have taken ideas from gears. Gears has a wide diversity of weapons ranging from the standard(shot gun, assault rifle) to the unique like the torque bow and digger launcher. They made the lancer more deadly this time around so people cant complain about it being a shotgun game since the lancer is actually much more useful.

you cant really judge the game on how the gameplay is the same as all the other games. look at call of duty. that gameplay hasnt changed at all. but its just a beta and it great in my opinion they just have to tweak a couple things with how powerful some of the weapons are.

You lost me at Dead Space. Dead Space is not a MP game. I know DS2 has it but it's still not a good comparison to Gears.

I thought it sucked also to be honest. It is a still a shotgun cluster**** just like the other two. Since long range combat is useless because of the weak assualt rifles and cover sytem, it just results in 2 or 3 people all within like 5 feet of each other spraying and praying with a shotgun. Boring, reptitive, and not fun. It always bothered me that the assualt rifles are not only weak as hell but they can't get a headshot, yet you can with the shotgun? WHY? I played it for about 2 or 3 hours then deleted it. I dunno I just find it so clunky and dull. Not enough weapons, the cover is too sticky, and I want to play tactically and in order to do that I don't want to run up to people and roll around like a moron spamming a shotgun which is what everone does! I wish you could also take people down from afar who are hiding in the cover system by popping their heads off with an assualt rifle or dowing them as they are roadie running around but since the lancer shoots gumdrops you can't do it. PLUS the amount of kill stealing is beyond annoying.

Am I the only one thats has problems with the spawning? Many times I've spawned right in front of an enemy, and if your enemy knows your teams spawn point they can easily kill you.Kaze_no_Mirai

Anyone that says that long range combat in the beta is useless has never played it or has not played it enough. If anything the lancer needs to be nerfed especially the retro lancer it will easily beat out a gnasher and sawed off at med to long range. People complain about the sawed off but it only works at extremely close distances. You can easily destroy someone using it from a distance with a lancer and if you actually check corners instead of blindly walking around them youll be fine. There's nothing stopping anyone from playing tactically besides themselves.

Lancer is underpowered.

Retro is useless at long range, too imprecise. Love the Bayonet though.

Sawed-off is fine. If you get killed by that, it's your own fault by getting too close.

Rarely used the HammerBurst.

But the Gnasher! OH GOD. The game gets very boring when both teams are rolling about with Gnashers and it's all about who-can-fire-from-the-hip-with-the most-accuracy-at-close-ranges.

More or less, every game descends into a Gnasher spamfest. Something needs to be done about that.

Generally lag is fine, although my bullets didn't register fast enough or at all on a number of occasions.

The betas good fun but it can be frustrating at times.

Also, GFX are top-notch, but that was to be expected.:D

All I can say is ... I'm really enjoying the beta. It could use a few tweaks, sure, but Epic seems to be aware of them already and hopefully will be tweaked up for the final release.

They definitely got it right with this game. :)

Was fun for the first hour but quickly became meh...same old shotgun fest.

TDM is kind of a let down, i hope they bring out normal warzone as a game mode in the full retail game. But KOTH is very fun. It runs so smoothly, encountered lag twice out of 26 matches.

You apparently haven't used the retro yet. It was made to counter the gnasher and will win just about everytime. As long as you know where your enemy is, you have the upper hand. If they rush you just hit them with it. The ridiculous damage it has and added stopping power you will down them instantly. If they get too close, just hipfire. The thing has insane accuracy from the hiBiThBhE0

I'm mostly disapointed by fact they haven't been using dedicated servers since last monday I got to play one game with dedicated and it was like butter...now its all p2p since monday and frankly Epic has never in their life been capable of creating a efficient netcode so their p2p games blow.

I ve been playing today for around 4 hrs. The graphics are ok, i like that they are more colorfull this time around!

LOL. You're dissapointed, BUT still probably picking it up at launch? you must be really addicted to Gears OR you're really not that disapointed. It's still an xbox360 game, so I dont see how you'd expect the graphics to change much. if you're really disapointed, just rent the game. then decide.

I am mostly disappointed in all the CoD noobs that keep running and gunning. Yeah, that doesn't apply here, you will die every single time.

This is the internet. There's always going to be dissapointed fans. I should know. I'm usually one of them.

As for GOW3 beta, I haven't played it yet. I'll have to hold off on my dissapointment until then.

Disregard my previous post.

I played a few games of KOTH and I'm am now officially in love with the beta.

I've learnt to use all the weapons appropriately and now when I die, it's usually my fault and not the fault of imperfect weapon balance..

I seriously never thought I would like aTPS MP but there you have it.

I was originally getting this game purely for Single-player/Co-op/Horde/Beast mode and was never planning on touching the Competitive MP, like I didn't with Gears 1 and 2, but I'm looking forward to the retailreleases MP now.:D

I have never been a big fan of Gears I have never really seen the appeal so lets get that out of the way right away ...

It is thou nice to see people agreeing with what feel is pretty wrong with this game ... I agree that the mechanics dont really seem to have changed at ll ... the cover is still sticky and it feels very clunky at times. If a match isn't about shotguns it's normally about the power weapons and who gets to those first.

The graphics whilst nicely coloured still aren't all that and most people just seem to get off on all the blood etc ... get mortal kombat if thats your bag honestly!

Other things such as party members ending up in different teams is also a little odd but the spawning really needs an overhaul IMO ... I have spawned and died far to often or spawned in the middle of the enemy team etc The worst thou was last night where I swear i actually spawned on the end of someones lancer ... i was waiting one second, next second I was being thrust in the air!!

As for the kill stealing ... why oh why do they not impliment the COD system the recently put in place .... when a downed player is downed regardless of who gets the kill they receive an assist and the person that downed them gets the kill ... simple!!

I'm not disappointed at all. In fact, it's much better than I expected. No lag, no Host Advantage, good maps, awesome new weapons....Definitely a day one purchase for me.
