Things like early Gears grenade tagging, "two piecing", etc.
Hulk suspect lots of grenade planting and turtling while puny human waits for enemy to come barreling through.

Join Delta Squad once more in the fight against the Locust Horde, in this "bigger, better and more badass" sequel to the 2006 smash hit.
Predict new tactics that players exploit over and over.
suicide bombing. like, if you're willing to die in order to take out the whole enemy team you can pull the pin on all your grenades and then just charge the enemy. boom

"Camping with planted grenades and exploiting the new stopping power.

Don't rush straight at someone then?
Those aren't exploits. They wanted the first one to be tactical and that's the point of the planting grenades, and stunning people with the smokes now.
i think thats its going to be more annoying when people put grenades in the ground then you walk up thinking that you could pick up the grenades and BOOM!! your dead that would be kinda funny to watch though
"i think thats its going to be more annoying when people put grenades in the ground then you walk up thinking that you could pick up the grenades and BOOM!! your dead that would be kinda funny to watch thoughHulk think grenades probably have some sign of being active so players can avoid them if they see it. Either a sound or some kind of flashing light.

well at least there will be no shotgun whoring. Cliffy B said that he didn't mean to allow that into the first one....
"mind if I use that?1 person holding the sheild, while the other standing behind him, so you got 2 guys shooting, while only half a person is not protected
It WILL WORK
"
I can definitely foresee some massive bugs with the chainsaw dueling system that could be exploited.

On Hardcore matches in COD4 I used to tell my team to gather around so they could help me glitch up to a new spot I found. I then pulled the pin. :D
"There are some new grenades that just send the enemy flying but doesn't kill them, I could see people whoring those out.At the begging of matches, I could see some maps where you could throw them up real high to hit enemies. Like the frags in cod4. That could get really annoying.

At least it wouldn't kill you though."There are some new grenades that just send the enemy flying but doesn't kill them, I could see people whoring those out.At the begging of matches, I could see some maps where you could throw them up real high to hit enemies.

shouldn't even be called 'tactics', it makes it sound more like it takes some kind of effort to do.
My main prediction though is this- since the whole people rushing and just jumpin around with the shotgun is getting tackled with stopping power and them dying faster by assault rifles...I think te new exploit will be using the whole stick grenades to walls think. Just look at the concussion and what they do, I figure people will start just doing that constantly, then run up to someone as they are trying to stand back up after being knocked down and just shotgun them in the head. I've already seen it in a few videos..I just hope it doesn't get out of hand, but if it does once more I'll be done with gears mp for good.
I'm apprehensive of those new "concussion" smoke grenades as well. It can be stuck to any surface, tagged, or randomly thrown. I really don't see why EPIC put this in, the smoke was valuable before (you just had to know how to use it). That's what frags are for...
Well, I have to wait and see how it'll turn out. Oh, and in the videos it shows everyone starting with one smoke grenade -- so picture 10 people on a map having it.

"You mean if the smoke grenades you spawn with have the "concussion" ability? From what I've seen so far, yes. That means 10 people on the map (in a full match) will have it every round, or even after every spawn."Gosh, the explosion radius better be small.
"I can not wait for this game!!!!!!!!!! I am so pumped i cant wait for November to come!"Me too man! I feel dumb wanting it so bad. haha
"Psynapse said:Don't feel dumb! I'm anticipating this release like it's some new shiny console ... I just want it so badly. My last purchase for my Xbox 360 was GTA 4 -- and it got boring after 3 weeks. I've needed a new game for so long, and now it's the sequel to my verymostfavouritegameever!"I can not wait for this game!!!!!!!!!! I am so pumped i cant wait for November to come!"Me too man! I feel dumb wanting it so bad. haha"
Although I'll likely be buying Fable 2 shortly before...
