    Re: Gears of War 3

    I was going CRAZY with the longshot last night on Drydock. I'm pretty handy with it in most cases but I just wasn't missing. Love moments like that!

    Just had a first game on Horde and loved it! We reached round 36 on Sandbar before a couple of our guys went offline, gonna have to finish that off sometime.

This is also testing the wireless on multiple channels.
      Do you have the X41?

      I have the station right below my 360 and haven't had any issues. My router is a Linksys as well and is a floor below. Interesting situation you have. Has to be a way to get around it.

        It's very interesting. I'll try to play around with it some more tonight now that I know exactly what the issue is. Surely other people have it set up the same as I do. Yes they are the x41.

          ^^^^^Anyone know about this. Sorry to be bothersome but I'd really like to know.
          EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                  I've heard that a few times while playing gridlock. I wonder if something similar happens on the trashball map. I heard organ music that you would hear at a baseball gaming playing last night.

                  There is always a pig roast on gridlock.

                      so far my best clutch moment was on sandbar, i was by myself on team deathmatch had 7 sniper bullets they had 2 responds left so 7-1 u can say and i was up on the cliff and popped everyone with all 7 headshots lol the last two were amazing a dove off a wall hit the shot and pop, and the last one was my last bullet and i didnt have and shotgun ammo left, so the guy dove at me with the sawdoff and pop we win. everyone in the game was yelling it was amazing.

                        That is certainly impressive, especially how I struggle with this game. While I am an "older" gamer I can hold my own in Battlefield and the MW series. This game is kicking my arse though. Level 14 now and can't play casual anymore, my k/d ratio is 0.7 although my team seems to win more than we lose, 1.4 ratio.

                        Some of the moves people can do while killing me should be in a highlight reel, the rolling at me, popping up and blasting me with the sawed-off. I know my hand eye coordination has slowed some but just...........WOW at some of these players.

                        Oh well, I'm enjoying the game anyway although my Sammy most likely doesn't like to see my coming with all the yelling I've been doing at the TV while playing this game.

                        Getting on now (360) if anyone would care to train me in team death match. GT-OPD188

                              I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!
