I'm feeling the burnout of this game after just a week whereas it took over a year for that to happen with Gears 3. Not a great realisation when applied to my favourite new IP of the generation.

Execution tomorrow is great news, any news on whether it will allow double primary weapon start?

Also are the 2 new maps going to be more team game mode friendly?

I've had that too, they don't even bother shooting first anymore.

it's going to be shitty for them when they fix it. they'll be so used to 2-piece that it's going to come back and bite them in the ass when they realize it doesn't work and force them to readjust or quit.

Two piecing isn't going away. I gamed with Devs at Pax east man. I was two pieced by them and I two pieced them. After I won match they said its way fun right and I said yeah man great game. Two piece is hear to stay change your tactic or go play gears 3.

Wow Sawed Off is so bad. In Gears 3, it was actually somewhat usable because of the strong damage but in Judgment the damage is not that much stronger than a Gnasher. Don't know why it's even in the game because its near unusable.

Yeah, my mistake, only saw afterwards that it's only Haven + Execution, the second map will probably come next week or something.

It is really awful. The sawn off in OverRun/Survival seems specifically buffed way up in damage to be worthwhile, but in normal MP modes, especially considering the new way the loadout works, sawn off users are completely screwed.

Personally, I'm fine with that. :p

Just got my first double headshot in one with the Breech in multi. Had he usual ''OHHHHHHHHH'' moment from a few in the game.

Felt good. Love me some epic gears moments.

''Oh shit! your heads gone''

I appreciate that we get more modes, but I really don't understad the demand for Execution. Warzone is the real deal.

Downloaded the map, execution is not up yet. Tested the new map in a private TDM and one side spawns with a torque on their side? Will be disappointing if it is like that in Exe.

I always liked Execution more. They're the same game except Execution gives you more playtime theoretically.

I wonder if Wingman will make a comeback. My team is always a liability. I just end up getting destroyed by the enemy team once they're all dead. Playing with one friend in a party might be better than FFA for me.

Yeah, you sometimes get more playtime in Exe, I agree. But to me, the whole concept with a cover based shooter is that you should be able to kill at a distance, or else you tend to render the rifles useless. More or less. I feel that a life is even more precious in Warzone! No safety lines whatsoever.

That said, Execution fills a spot for sure. It demands its own strategy.

And I would love to see Wingman as well.

Played a few matches on Haven and I think it's a sweet map + I enjoy snow maps! Still wondering where execution is though, it never came with the download? And I too heard there would be a second map free of charge, but perhaps they'll release that another time.

Pretty sure they said they would release two maps and execution...

Did you download the Haven DLC from the dashboard? It should include Execution, which it did for me. It may not work correctly if you download it from within the game.

So, I still haven't gotten my MS store preorder points, anyone else have this problem? Pretty sure it's 10 days after release date now.

Also, did another 2 declassified missions on insane. Solo seems to be the way to go

New map is alright. Thought there was going to be another too. For some odd reason I thought the team dlc would just be Haven over and over. Too tell the truth I kind of wish it was because I fell like I've played the others to death.

Gotta try some execution later.

TU is made of 100% failure. Oh well I guess it fits the games overall motif.

I'd call the MS store hotline. You can try livechat first but I ended up calling to get my codes.

I gotta say, after my third playthrough of the Judgment campaign, this is my favorite Gears to date. Yeah the story is minimal and not as epic(pun intended) as the main trilogy but the rush of the gameplay is second to none especially on hardcore and insane. There is no filler in between stages and on the higher difficulty levels you must work together as a team on co-op if you intend to survive. I absolutely love the changes to the grenade button and weapon swap. It also helps that this is one of the best looking console games period as it is pushing all kinds of different effects on screen.

Yeah, it's definitely a fun campaign with all of the changes, the more frantic pacing and the AI director mixing it up on different attempts. I do miss the boss fights/epic set pieces though. I finished up my first run through the campaign the other day with a buddy, and I pointed out to him on the final fight that there had not been a single boss fight the entire game until the end. And even then that final boss fight was kinda 'meh' compared to Gears 3.

Wasn't this supposed to be two new maps sponsored by Maxim? Hope the other one will appear soon...

Yes, there are 2 MAXIM maps, but they are coming out separately. They said the next one will be ~1 month after release.

If you haven't gotten your Microsoft Store codes yet:
1) Go to microsoftstore.com
2) log in
3) click Live Chat
4) tell them that other people are getting their preorder codes by coming here
5) get transferred
6) have your Billing Name, Order Number, Email Address you used, and last 4 digits of your Credit Card that was used

just got my codes from support and it went very smoothly. Great customer support.

credits go to Lord Dirt from xbox360achievements.org for making a thread about it.

Epic doesn't need a TU to make tweaks to multiplayer, and funny enough, while I was writing this, PeteNub from Epic just Tweeted this a few seconds ago:

Stun from melee hit made slightly shorter, same deal as smoke update, didn't force it, just wait for it.

So in a while everyone should be getting the change.

Yup, downloaded it from the dashboard. An hour after I posted here it worked fine!

OT: Anyone up for survival sometime? Kind of hard surviving with randoms w/o a mic.

Is there seriously no curb-stomp?

And have they seriously left the animation in there for NPCs/bots only as some sort of sick joke?

Awesome, guys. Thanks so much.
