My Gears experience prior to this has been the campaign and a bit of Horde Mode in Gears 2. Because of this, I am only able to judge the beta on it's own and not compare it to anything else. Here are my initial thoughts.....
First thing, it takes a LOT of bullets to kill someone. I can never seem to kill anyone at any sort of range. Are you even supposed to try to kill people at range or is Gears meant to be all close quarters?? Because honestly, so far in mid-long range battles I feel useless.
Second, the shotguns seem to dominate. That would be fine for me, except when I shoot the fuckinh thing I never get one shot kills whereas it seems the enemy can constantly one shot me. And the sawed-off?? Some dudes absolutely rape with it, I can cant do a damn thing with it.
Is it necessary to commando roll around like a fucking lunatic all game? Some games are complete rollfuckfests. I usually only roll when I need to get out of the way fast but other than that I don't use it.
The executions are awesome. There is nothing quite like the first time you rip some dudes arm off and beat him to death with it. The first time I did it I was losing my shit. It was really cool.
My only main gripe is that we are limited to 2 maps and only one gametype for the first week. After 3-4 hours last night I was getting sick of TDM. Other than that though I am having fun with the Beta. How is everyone else enjoying it? Are you hardcore Gears people liking it? Is it different than Gears 2?? Let me know what you think, I am curious to see what the hardcore contingent thinks about the beta.
Also, if you have any tips for noobs send them my way. I need all the help I can get.
I also live commentated my first Gears 3 beta game last night. It was an absolute trainwreck. If you enjoy watching that sort of thing, you can watch it below.
