As part of an upcoming feature in games™ 124 about Epic Games, design director Cliff Bleszinski has admitted there were mistakes with the original Gears Of War trilogy. “We faced the problems of drowning on our own fiction and universe, as well as figuring out how, over multiple games, you can win a “battle” but not the war. On the multiplayer side we learned that with each sequel there’s always a risk of upsetting traditional fans by adding in new guns. If I could go back in time I would remove the sawed-off shotgun. Yes, I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong.” Considering how vocal the Gears community was about the sawed-off shotgun, it’s no surprise that as the months have passed Cliff and the rest of Epic may have become a little down on the idea. The scope of the prequel means it’s unlikely many weapons will return, but we’re fairly confident the sawed-off shotgun will remain exclusive to Gears Of War 3.
3 words: "Thank f'n GOD!!!" I get so annoyed with that gun and it having a gib radius larger than the gnasher, seriously bs with them even putting it in that way. It was much better in the beta. Well let me rephrase that, the whole game played much smoother in the beta.
i agree the beta as a whole in the first few weeks felt great dont know why they changed so much once it hit retail.
Sawed off was fun for a bit in the beta. But that was because it was new, and different. Its horrible now. The retro lancer should stay, its got a weird balance. I feel it kind of killed off the hammerburst a bit though.
Thank god, The distance of that gun is stupid even though there supposed to be right next to you to kill you with it, There's nothing wrong with everyone using a gnasher, It's a great gun to use.
[GearGame.GDT_Shotgun_sawedOff] MaxGibDistance=99999.f bAllowHeadShotGib=TRUE bAllowHeadShotExecution=True DistFromHitLocToGib=90000 GibImpulseMagnitude=700 GibAngularVelocityMagnitude=80 is how it should b. yes that makes the sawed off a long range weapon.
they need to get rid of the retro lancer too or they need to nerf the **** out of that and the hammerburst. i wish they could make the game like it was in gears 1 again. near perfect multiplayer next to cod 4
i personally dont mind the retro, but yes the 'feel' of it should be more like gears 1. gears 3 is so crappy! as you can see from my rank below,iv played ALOT of mp. but last night,on guardian. i was last man standing, downed two guys and, points blank had to put THREE shotty bullets into EACH downed locust for them to die, then leader ran over to me, and NO JOKE i got 7-8 decent point blank body shots on him before he even fired at me... did he die or go down!? noooo, this is gears!he connected ONE shotty shot on me and i exploded! i am done with gears 3! its so broken! back to gears 1 for me!
too true! iv never understood moaning about 'gears 1 is just a shotgun fest!' YES! it was, and thats why me and my friends loved it! it was different!it wasnt about camping with machine guns or magnum scoping, it was about one on one, fast paced, intense shotty battles! thats why gears was so epic! all thats gone now thanks to mortor etc and not daring to chase the last man down thanks to fear of a nade hanging on a wall round the corner hes just ran round! no one dares shotty one on one, you either get a smoke or ink thrown at your feet before they'll even think about running in with a shotty! gears isnt what it was!
