Re: Gears of War 3

Which is why I never play any game online. Its extremely upsetting. But when everyone is anonymous, that's what happens. There should be ways to ban people like that for life. Stupid mother****ers.

I just stay off the microphone or am in a party with other people that are not playing the game. Works wonders for me. Also, five new maps in January.


Fenix Rising DLC:http://epicgames.com/community/2011/...rising”/

I would like to have dual Gorgon Pistols for multiplayer.

Here are the details:

Microsoft and **** Games announced the third major add-on to Gears of War 3 on Wednesday. "Fenix Rising" is coming on January 17 and brings five new multiplayer maps, four new character skins and an expansion of the leveling system.

Available on Xbox LIVE for 800 MS Points ($10) or included as part of the Gears of War 3 Season Pass, “Fenix Rising” expands the multiplayer across Versus , Horde and Beast Mode by five maps based on locations in from Gears lore.

•Academy –The lineage of the Fenix family can be traced back along a distinguished line of military officers. Officer training at the Oracle Academy was simply the expected path for Marcus, and he had visited the grounds many times in expectation that he would walk the same path as his ancestors. But it was not to be, and Marcus broke with tradition to be with his best friends Dom and Carlos. Like any number of fine Seran traditions, the Academy is now lost to the invasion of the Locust Horde.

•Anvil – The fortress of Anvegad was called Anvil Gate because its impenetrable walls were forged in the fires of war. Huge cannons sat atop battlements that guarded sprawling walls running the line of the UIR borders. Marcus went there to find Hoffman, and they both thought that Anvil Gate would offer protection from the incoming forces of Locust and Lambent. They were wrong, and little remains other than the ruined shell of a once mighty fortress.

•Depths – The excessive opulence of Azura defied all normal reasoning. But Adam Fenix could see the cracks in the veneer of splendor from the moment he arrived at this underwater processing center. And all that beauty mattered not at all once he was held captive by the Locust. Out of options, he had to find a way to contact Marcus, and finally reveal the truths he’d been keeping to himself for all these many years.

•Escalation – Haldane Hall has been the home of the Fenix family for countless generations. But the only history that matters to Marcus’s are his memories of warm summer evenings spent with his mother, Elain, relaxing in the estate’s gardens. Sadly, all the estate’s history and beauty was lost when the Locust destroyed it in an attempt to kidnap his father.

•The Slab – Convicted for insubordination and treason, Marcus was incarcerated in Jacinto Maximum Security Prison. Known as “The Slab”, this prison is not a correctional facility - it’s a place where Sera’s worst offenders are locked up and forgotten. The inmates are brutal, parole is not an option, and the average life expectancy is about two years. But that was before the Locust showed up, and what couldn’t get worse, suddenly did. Now your life expectancy there is around 2 minutes.

Additionally, players who purchase “Fenix Rising” will gain access to the following character skins for use in Versus Multiplayer and Horde Mode (if COG):

COG

•Recruit Clayton – Clayton was born a Gear, grew up a Gear, and on the very day he became eligible, he signed himself up to become the capable, confident, and devoted Gear he’d always known he could be.

•Thrashball Cole (Limited Edition) – The Cole Train prefers to take the most direct path to the Locust Horde in any situation. What he lacks in finesse, he makes up in raw energy.
LOCUST

•Savage Marauder – Locust Marauders were the first to form any sort of organization outside of the Hollow – if their brutal infighting and bloodthirsty raiding parties could truly be called organized.

•Savage Kantus (Limited Edition) – The Savage Kantus were profoundly impacted by the loss of the Hollow. They have reverted to a primal, shamanistic state, and their battle cries have taken a dark, melancholy turn. Few sounds are as terrifying to human ears.
With the purchase of the "Fenix Rising" add-on, players who attain level 100 will have a choice to “Re-up” for another tour of duty to showcase their valor and dedication as elite Gears of War fans. Their experience and rank will be reset, but all other progression (including TrueSkill rating) will remain intact. Players can “Re-up” up to three times, earning a new rank icon color each time: Bronze (default level 100), Red, Green and Gold. Each “Re-up” level after Bronze also awards the player an exclusive, custom weapon skin that cannot be obtained by any other means:

•Re-Up Plasma – Animated flowing plasma in gold.
•Re-Up Omen – Shiny, red Omen.
•Re-Up Electric – Animated, golden electric shocks.

I still do from time to time. This game really excels when you play with a party of 3 or more people.

Late to the party myself. Just picked this up for ($19.99 used at BBY with the 20 buck off coupon in this months Gamers Club Mag BTW) and have liked it alot more than I thought I would. I like the story mode more than online. Probably because I'm just such a noob and getting destroyed

Re: Gears of War 3

I plan on going back to it soon. I loved it but then other shooters came out.

Re: Gears of War 3

I still play just about every day. Will probably do so until Ghost Recon comes out.

Re: Gears of War 3

Played a little last night, I gotta get out of the MW frame of mind. I like that it's more in your face gun fights and you don't have campers lying around behind walls. I'll get it.

Gears of Ware: Exile - Cancelled

Gears of War: Exile will never be. Epic Games design director Cliff Bleszinski told GameSpot today that the rumored Kinect project is no longer in development at the Cary, North Carolina-based studio.

Gears of War: Exile is not going to see the light of day.
"Let's just bury the hatchet now," he said. "Gears of War: Exile was an unannounced game that I can't give any details about that has since been cancelled."

Little is known concerning Gears of War: Exile, but it was rumored to be an on-rails Kinect experience. Trademarks for the game were spotted in January 2011, and Xbox 360 World Magazine said the title was to be officially unveiled at the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo.
