Gears of War 3 - Multiplayer Beta

[Family Fry]

What's the beef? I haven't played in few days so not been upto date.

The servers have been down since monday for the UK and epic aren't telling us anything, yet they keep saying they're up and down etc it makes no difference people from the UK get P2P. (at least a lot on epic forums do including me and my mates)

Now they've deleted the 2nd one, the guy posted a 3rd and Flak replied saying you need to restart to get the servers.

What absolute bollocks, I've restarted every time they've said and I haven't had a game on servers since Monday.

[Family Fry]

Yeah remember them saying you have yo quit to dash and replay game to enable server if they don't show...
Take it USA is fine?

[Synthesthesia]

Well there's no 40+ page thread from the americans, and I assure you, there would be probably a 200+ page thread if they were getting the jip.

I want a code so bad!

[yesteryeargames]

Rub it in !

Lol. Sorry not doing anything of the sort, you know we've been experiencing similar issues but seems they've been rectified. Hopefully you guys will get the same.

I'll see when I fire up things shortly...

Played 10 TD and 4 KotH matches so far... play has generally been pretty fair so far, certainly quicker than Gears 2, and there is still the occasional WTF moment. And a couple of badly paired group matches. Have yet to try out the Hammerburst and sawnoff shotty though. Running feels different, almost back to Gears 1 style. Leap over the cover to hit someone is both good and bad heh.

As much as I like the Gears campaigns and books, I have never got into the multiplayer and this beta isn't doing anything to change my mind about the online Gears experience. It's still a shotgun spam fest that you never seem to win and it's all a bit frenetic.

[Mayhem]

Depends on the situation. I've been getting plenty enough kills with the lancers and hammerburst so far...

Will your accumulated stats from the beta carry over into retail?
