They talk polish because it's been done for a long time and that's all that's left, aside from pre-order DLC.

So, they're take on TDM is how games like Counter Strike and Socom play - you die, you'll have to wait for the next round to respawn. How original of you Epic!

Seeing as how the only thing worth a shit in any Gears game so far is the campaign co-op, I hope this one works out. Also Horde was pretty good. Also both games seemed "slow" to me haha.

I'm so glad they're taking this seriously, hopefully the work pays off.

I second this. I just couldn't shake the love I had for how Gears 1 felt. I didn't like the way Gears 2 moves that much. My dislike for the online decreased when they finally patched it enough to a playable state.

It was only in the first game where you can one shot down guys with an active reload. Although the gun looks hella overpowered, it looks like a weapon that will be balanced by forcing you to stay in one area and have to fight your way up to the weapon.

The multiplayer needs to have it so when you die, you get back in after a certain amount of seconds. None of the "Oh yeah, I'm dead, so now I'll sit out of a match for a while until the next round comes..." It's fun until you die for one round because it feels slow and not as engaging as it can be.

Wait are they bringing the knockdown back in 3? God I hope so, smoke grenades are worthless without it.

Looks great, and I'm glad to hear that a developer actually taking more time to make the game better. Rather than some series that just spit them out as fast as they can just to make money.

Not sure how I feel about Gears 3 yet. This is coming from the biggest fan of the first two games.

I seriously hope that the shotgun gets a major nerf. Or at least something that allows me to play online without seeing literally every single person in the game running around with it and one-hit killing each other. That's not fun at all.
