Ah, cmon! Join the discussion... we know you both have an opinion!!!

I know Kain has an opinion about two piecing, as he's felt the effect from Dee and Jon two nights ago, as well as Jon trying to do it to him again during Kains first match with us last night

Free Gold Lancer is available through Xbox.com Marketplace. This is ONLY available through Xbox.com.

Here's the link:

https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/...sb=1&did=0ccf0001-0000-4000-8000-00004d53082d

In the details it says...

The Gold-Plated Lancer Assault Rifle is unlocked exclusively with an Xbox LIVE redemption code included in new copies of the Gears of War 2 Limited Edition. This special weapon is available for use in multiplayer matches.

...so is it really free, or do you still need the code? I already have it, so I'm just curious.

Yeah but he tried and got a headache for his troubles but Dee was like Stretch Armstrong his elbow would stretch through crates.

I had a Stretch Armstrong figure growing up

That thing was so heavy you could probably kill somebody with it.

I'd prefer you post the pic of you falling on your head again

I have another one from the same crash

 

[user 1190]

You know, I actually have fun playing with my friends online, doesn't matter which weapon I get killed with or whether it's careless friendly fire....hell we even try to smoke tag each other for a laugh.

Seems that some people take gaming a little too seriously.

A lot of this is due to the majority of them play together every night so yes there will be issues with each other at times

You know, I think this is the "real" issue... we are all so competitive that we just can't stand to be "killed" by someone else, especially friends! The old saying, "familiarity breeds contempt" is really true! When we play as a team against the bots, no one complains!

Except about how easy the bots kill us

Well yeah, but we complain about that all the time! Now that is something that really does need a fix!!!

Sure I do, here it is: I have more fun playing Fallout 3 than I do Gears 2.
The bad guys dont 2 piece me or saw me and when I kill them they dont get all pissey
and run to this forum and post about how they were killed so "cheaply".

It seems to me like we are attemting to discuss the acceptable ways of getting kills in a broken multiplayer game. It just isn't going to happen.

My personal nitpicks: being able to knock somebody down with a smoke, attaching grenades and smokes to walls(which made the game more defensive and less agressive like gears 1), and shotgun fire not backing off an incoming chainsaw.

Believe me, i don't really like the 2 piece, but how can you blame me for using it when i just try and use shotgun fire and it doesn't back someone off and they chainsaw me, or i come up behind someone and fire and they turn around and chainsaw.

I get want you are saying, bagels, about the 2 piece not being an intended way of getting kills. Should i do what Cliffy B intended with the game and knock someone on their ass with a smoke and chainsaw them?? I don't see how that is any better.

I'm with Mark, Cliffy B needs to be punched in the face.

I guess you just find a way to play the game that best suites your style of play, and i'm an aggresive player.

I've been playing a lot of different games too......about 1/3 of the way through Halo 2 then I'll start Halo 3, plus want to do more on Fallout 3 and do more MP on Left 4 Dead. And want to go through Bioshock and Dead Space one more time and still need to finish Assassin's Creed on the 360 (finished it several times on PS3 but now I want the achievements ) then RE5......don't know if I'll keep the LOTR Conquest....may trade that in......but I got enough games to play besides Gears......but I do still have a lot of fun playing with everyone, complaints and all.

No, I don't. I might gripe at myself but unlike you I don't toss a fit and quit on a weekly basis.

Why should I have to change the my style of play? Because it tends to work more than it fails and because you don't like it? If you don't like it then you're more than welcomed not to play when I'm in the room. It won't hurt my feelings any at all. FF is an option I hate. I've played with it on before and it was no fun. I'm just saying that if a group wants to use it for a night thats fine I have other things I can do.

I use all the weapons as well. Some like to forget that but its ok.

So again, just admit that you'll take your ball and go home if things are not set to what you want and what best fits your "style" of play.

And here I thought we were a group of friends who would or could compromise and do what different people want from time to time w/o have people walk off because it does not fit their game style well enough. I see I was wrong. No problem.

I think the group needs another multiplayer game to play on a reg basis.
Personally Im looking forward to Halo Wars and Battlestations Pacific coming out.
Gears will be just something I play every once in awhile on weekends for the foreseeable future.
Gears2 is still Epics "work in progress" and I dont have much patience for it anymore.

 

[The Josh]

I'm not taking my ball and going home. I'm just saying if thats something folks want to do one night I'll take the night off. I'm not obligated to join and play just because.

Where is that popcorn eating gif?

thought you could only use that in a thread thats getting locked

It's not the same one, but I thought I'd mix it up a bit.
