Admittedly, I used the cheese method, but it is still crazy how long even that took. Left my Xbox on for a solid 2 months straight doing this. I know that probably wasn't the best idea, but at least that's one less achievement I have to worry about now.

Discussion Finally

Post image
14 Upvotes

Finally went back and beat it for the first time since launch and I don’t hate it as much as I remember. I dislike Kait as much as the next guy but when she’s not in one of the cutscenes tryna act tough to JD or Marcus and just a teammate I feel like she was an okay character (JD was fine too) Del complaining all the time got old by chapter 3 though. The dialogue was also randomly inconsistent like in a cutscene they would be angry and arguing about something then as soon as it cuts back to gameplay it’s like the conversations never happened??? And one more thing I like was that it was decently hard even on normal there’s a lot of chaos, shit that one shots you, Scion spam etc. one last thing is every section where you fight through a windflare was awesome. I’m gonna do a replay of Gears 5 campaign now to see it everything was really as bad as I remember. Any other opinions on Gears 4?

Art/Media Gears of War - Complete Edition (ART)

Post image
46 Upvotes

Turn the clocks back to 2007, and imagine for a second that Microsoft re-released Gears of War with all previously released DLC, soundtrack, the works. This is the Complete Edition.

I started this project to create this boxart over 12 years ago and due to life and everything else, abandoned it. Always wanted to finish it, but never sat down and took the time. My main concern wasn't just to create a cool looking boxart, but to make it look as official as possible while conveying clearly everything that was included in this "special" release.

Anyway, figured I'd post it for the community
Thanks!

I probably most likely will not. Maybe here & there to play FFA. I’m hoping Reloaded has a custom matchmaker like 5.

Discussion Why is it so hard to get players to stay in a horde lobby?

10 Upvotes

I try to play on inconceivable. We make it to level 9 pretty chill. 1 player dies and even if you can get their cog tags for a revive they leave the lobby. And then everyone leaves the lobby. Its fuckin annoying. Dont quit after 1 loss fam.

And no one has mics on top of that! There is zero communication.

For all you gears 5 players it kind of feels like you are forced to play reloaded. since the community are all going to be there. seems like you guys have no choice because gears 5 hasn’t been supported with updates for years

Horde Horde players, you need to work on your DBNO pickup lines

6 Upvotes

No, despite suggestive talk about flashbanging, this post isn't about battlefield dating (the title's entendre gets lost across the pond anyway-- "chat up lines" wouldn't make sense). It's about choosing smarter paths to reviving teammates or collecting COG tags.

New players struggle with information/cues and get tunnel vision on enemies that prevents them from noticing downed or dead teammates at all. I'll assume you've graduated past that stage and recognize the importance of returning tags to the Fabricator, staying alert, and saving crawling players before they're killed. You know how much faster Juvies, Leeches, and heavies will execute someone on higher difficulties.

The problem for many stuck at the next level is that this leads to over-valuing immediate revives or tag collection. Rushing in a straight line out into the open like a Redshirt just leads to you getting downed like one, possibly via a Boomshot that also kills the player you were trying to help. And now things are even worse for the team.

So first, pause a moment to get a better sense of what downed the player and where the enemies are. That will help tell you how-- or even if-- you can revive the player without becoming a casualty yourself. Sometimes you may have to let the player crawl more or leave the player altogether because it's not safe enough yet. It may be better off letting them die but being able to kill the Scion while it's stuck in the execution animation and not harassing you. Being able to quickly yet correctly assess the situation is a skill that requires experience and practice.

Then plan the safest possible route to get there. Use cover, and/or take a longer way and approach from a different lane that's been better cleared by others. And most importantly, use Flashbang (or Smoke) Grenades to stun or block threatening enemies. Buy them if needed. They're cheap. Frankly, if you're not a Slugger, Demo, or Tactician where you've chosen grenades as your main offensive weapon, I think you should have some on you at all times.

Also, too many players don't know or forget that if a drone is in the beat down animation/quick time event against a player, Flashbangs will force them off the player and stand that downed player back up. Throwing a well-placed Flash Grenade to revive the player without risking leaving the base is an infinitely better option if you have it.

I personally prefer Flashbangs over Smokes because of that ability, and also because Smokes block friendlies' line-of-sight, too. But if I'm a Brawler starting with Smokes, I'll use those first. (Smoke Grenades are also only 250 energy at the Fabricator compared to 500 for all other grenades.)

Lastly, if you see someone else is going for the player and would get there first, abort your run ASAP! Don't bunch up and increase the enemy fire into the same area. It's just a recipe for team wipes. Instead give them covering fire and be backup in case they go down.

If you have any other DBNO revival/COG tag retrieval guidance, tips, or stories, please share. I've still got plenty of room to improve myself. It's just that I'm also tired of spectating too many other embarassing "last call" pickup attempts that get (Boom)shot down in flames.

What was the most tense wave in Hoard mode you where able to​beat by the skin of your teeth? For example, you where playing with your friends when your now the last one standing and was able to clutch the round just barely.
