If you have played gears of war recently, you might have noticed a plethera of new achievements as well as the absence of many popular glitches. Thats all well and good however, to change the dynamics of the weapons (lancer) just ruins the experience. Now that the lancer is more powerful, it messes with the way the matchs flow especially if you happen to be facinga "super" host. Anybody else Agree? I think the adding of more weapons would have been more suitable, not powering up the ones already there.

Am I the only one who feels that the lancer is still the same as before. If you get caught in it's fire it would take you down. This was before the update. I remember many times before when playing canals the lancers would be very effective weapons.

you can down someone and then have enough bullets left to finish them off without having to reload.

People should use the the lancer more often, its the iconic weapon for the game and people ignore it in favour of one hit killers like sniper and shotty. The game should be about a war of attrition, taking cover and wearing down the enemy instead of one hit kills.

There should be an option to have lancer/hammerburst matches only

I am glad this happened, I always though the lancer was underpowered. You would have to unload a full clip of headshots to really down someone from medium distance. People should be afraid of the lancer if they are standing in the open, so I think this change is just.

This whole cover thing makes the game boring in my opinion. I think it ruins the game to just sit behind a car and lancer eachother the entire game. All of you have to admit it is more satisfying to roadie run around the guy camping with his lancer behind a car or whatnot and blow the crap out of him with your shotgun.

Some help me please. I haven' played since the update because my 360 is getting repaired. Do you think the Lancer could be tweaked down a bit but still be stronger then the pre-updated Lancer?

gears is broken. I take cover and cant get off the wall. My friends get angry because their guy fire's all his rounds without his hand on the controller at all. Gears is broken. I cant believe so many people wont admit it was better before the update.

I hate the new lancers. A Host Lancer will take you down in like 2 seconds. And to all those people saying "take cover." If you take cover, that person can easily just advance on you now, still firing the lancer, switch to shotty, and with your health already widdled down, kill you in an instant

It is a "Stop and Pop" not a "Run and Gun" It's alot more balanced this way, it's just an adjustment. If you know how to aim it wont matter what weapon you use...now everyones gonna hate me cause my lancer is "active" or whatever they choose to complain about, pppsshhh...after the achievements I always used the default weapons anyway it's faster.

I think I might just give gears a try again. Come to think of it, the under powered lancer is why I quit playing in the first place.

I love it when people complain about the game simply because they can't get a kill in it if there life depended on it.

Yea, you can now down someone with half a clip. Before you'd be lucky to down someone with a full clip of Active.
