Gears of War 3 - Multiplayer Beta

[Neon Ignition]

That's my issue, I shouldn't have to play hours worth to get used to it. I clicked with Gears 2 much faster, some of the maps like Touchdown are annoyingly small with shotgun led spawn camping a common occurance. It's not awful but not as ready to ship as I expected it to be given it's out in 4 months after an extension. Fans will get their kicks but I imagine it'll be off putting for some more casual shooter fans which is never good.

Torque Bow tag was bloody horrible.

People just sitting on the pickups, horrible in TDM as well. If they'd made it so you spawned with the Torque, it might actually have been fun.

Selfish selfish players, as per usual...the clue is in the name btw, TEAM Deathmatch.

I don't understand why you didn't spawn with them considering it's in the name. It would have been MUCH more fun if you couldn't use shotguns/lancer imo. And would give an indicator that they're thinking of making team... type games like halo. Snipers, rockets etc. I've wanted that in since Gears of War.

To be honest, I borderline loathe team deathmatch. The clue is in the name, TEAM deathmatch.

I've nothing against kill stealing tbh either, but it does appear "AdCook <DOWNED> Player X", and if you then bypass me and another enemy, to get the kill, leaving us both down from the enemy you ignored whilst I was trying to finish my kill, you aren't playing it right.

I can't wait for the final game though, Wingman ftw!!

Yeah, if I had a quid for every kill stolen from me in the beta, I'd be very rich...

[Synthesthesia]

Yeah I got sick of one guy kill stealing in a TDM match, so me and my mate followed the guy around and systematically stole every one of his kills he got down. Hopefully he got the message

[Mayhem]

The thing is, I can understand in TDM where I might put someone down from range, and with a battle going on, I don't mind someone else on my team taking the kill because it helps the team, and I still get points. What I hated is that SO often I'd down someone in a shotty battle, be standing right by them and someone would STILL choose to take the kill! Argghhhh... hopefully it might change a bit with normal Warzone and Execution games...

[Robster]

Kill stealing used to bug me immensly but Ive got over it now.

It was ruining my enjoyment of the game but with the new scoring system it makes it easier to swallow,I've nicked a few kills in the heat of the battle and all I got was 10 pts for that kill which is justified.

[Jebus]

Right, but what I was talking about was people purposefully playing TDM with a view to kill-stealing, which negatively effects the team on the whole.
