G.O.W 3

[Lamz]

Has anybody got Gears Of War 3 yet? If so... is it good?

• How good is it
• Ratings out of 5
• How is it different to 1 & 2
• Story Line (without giving too much away)
• What are the weapons like? (Faster/Slower & any changes)

Looking to get this is a few weeks but kinda want an insight 1st so yeah...

I've just started Act 2 (out of 5) and the story so far is standard Gears plot, but I can forsee it getting a lot better quite soon. Multiplayer is a thousand times better than Gears 2, dedicated servers have really helped it to be a lot more fun. I think it's brilliant, it would almost be perfect, but there are a few bugs, like NPCs getting in the way of your objectives and such

thanks, really helps a lot... Have the graphics improved??? like with GOW 1&2 the sandbags & brick work look too smooth... also is the shotgun faster & what are the maps like?

The whole game looks a lot better, it still keeps the Gears-palette of colours, i.e they're all various shades of brown and grey, but the textures are a lot better. The normal shotgun is exactly the same, the Sawn Off is awesome and the maps are a bit smaller than Gears 2 maps, but they definitely work well

have only really played horde/team deathmatch so far. gonna have a go at the campaign later. i really like it. i dunno if it's just me, but character movement feels slower. idk why. but it's all so much cleaner, and it looks amazing in HD.

just wanted to add beast mode is so fun hahaha. love being a blood mount.

Beast Mode is awesome but a tad easy, once you've unlocked the Beserker it's smooth sailing from there. I think it needs to be tweaked a bit.
The Horde additions sound fun, but I cba with fiddling around with them, personally I prefer it when you had to rush to put shields back up, but I think that's just my nostalgic viewpoint getting the better of me
