I am going to miss Gears tonight. Oh wait, I'm not. I'll just be playing a different Gears... Gears Judgement at Comic Con. Here's something that will puss some people off - the longshot in this game has a four shot magazine. Four shots before you need to reload.

Is that just for single player though?  Also, does it still pop heads in one shot?

Heads still pop with the awesome squishiness that all Gears games are known for. With regard to play modes, as far as I know, it will have SP and MP. They ate only allowing us to play Overrun mode which  is a combination of MP, beast, and horde.

That's too bad, I def had more fun playing gears 3 last friday doing private 2o2p matches than probably 500 hours of my gameplay time total of playing the game since launch.

Same here. I really enjoy playing casual mp matches. Just something about playing with JUST friends make its more fun.

There's no bullshit about rank or whose better. And the only shit-talk is in jest.

Been talking with Johnny about what we can do to promote the Gears group here on 2old2play. Its gonna take some time and work to get it back to a decent size....because there's only a handful of us and a good majority don't care for the multiplayer and would rather do Horde & Beast, which thats cool....but I like me some multiplayer as well. heh.

I don't mind beast for a change, it's different, it's a 20 minute match and the action ramps up pretty quickly and you acn change up your character every death.  Horde just doesn't have enough variety to keep my interested over 50 waves, i'm good for like 20-30 waves and then i'm ready to move on.

yeah same here....setup a spot....sit there......wave over.....lather, rinse, repeat. There needs to be something more dynamic going on. Because you spend all your time in one spot. Thats why Ive been getting in to Halo Reach's Firefight mode. You can hold up anywhere in the map since those maps are all built for that mode.

Maybe thats what Horde mode needs, some dedicated Horde maps that have some dynamic content like falling walls or something like the Anvil Gate battle that gives you objectives as you defend your base.

I'm not going to be able to participate this week. Got some personal issues going on and I'm gonna be offline for a week or so. So if Johnny or maybe Tank or someone wouldn't mind taking care of this for me while I'm out, I'd greatly appreciate it. I should be back next week.

I'm iffy as well.  We have our niece over here, and she's not the most cooperative child right now.  So, we'll see how soon I'm online.  I'll check the tag this afternoon, so anyone on the tag can get together.  Otherwise, we'll be back in the swing of things next week.

MANY apologies for missing the past weekends. I've been going through some darker times mentally. Bit of the depression had killed my want to do anything.

But the clouds have cleared and its a sunny day to chainsaw some bitches.

So....okay. Picking back up.

Question: Do you guys think we should do a different night for Gears N Beers? Perhaps Saturday night? Or is Friday night pretty much good for everyone?

Also. Toying with the idea of doing a "classic" Gears night and running Gears of War 1 once in a while. It was fun and I miss some of those maps.

I know also some of you aren't keen on multiplayer. That's cool. Just keep in mind though that even though its MP, we really don't take it seriously. These

are casual, friendly matches. Sure we talk some shit and are offensive as all hell language-wise....but thats part of the fun. Skill level does not mean anything.

And if the teams are one-sides, we swap players around and try to get it as balanced as humanly possible.

So even if you aren't keen on MP....give it a try with fellow 2old2play folks. I promise we won't bite. Though we might call you names and laugh at you when you die.

We do it to everyone.

Feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for running this, Gatz.

If I'm on tonight, I'm going to be late...but it's not looking good this Friday.  Have to go to a wedding, and get up early to take one of the boys to football practice tomorrow. 

If I don't see you this week, I'll see you next.  Oh, and I'll talk to you later about Labor Day ideas to get more players in if you're available.

Sounds good. I'm not getting much feedback from some of the non 2old2play regulars either. This friday just may be a bad one.

There were only 3 people in the room last night, including myself. Got bored playing Beast for 2 hours. So we all just decided to call it a night.

Perhaps next week.

I could play more often if it weren't Friday since I travel a frequently on fridays.  If it were on Monday nights, i wouldn't have the problem and it would be the day before a new game drops so I think it would be a good night.  But don't change it just for me, i'll just play on fridays when I can ijust can't be a 'regular' for fridays.

I'm with Tank, but I don't know how many days I'd make anyway, definately more on Mondays though.  Saturdays are just awful for me.

I can understand that.

 

How are Saturdays for you Tank? As bad as Friday? Or do you usually have something else going on Fridays?
