Gears of War 3 Title Update 2 Release Notes

Hey Gears fans! At 2 a.m. Pacific tonight we’ll begin rolling out Title Update 2 for Gears of War 3. While this is in progress dedicated servers will not be available. Once the update is live you will automatically be prompted to download it if you are connected to Xbox LIVE.

Read our full list of release notes and be sure to join us tomorrow night (11/16) for a live stream with Epic Games Director of Production Rod Fergusson. The stream will start at 5:00 p.m. Eastern on the Epic Games Twitch.TV page. If you have questions for Rod about the update, please post them in the comments section below!

Improvements

A spectator mode option has been added to private versus matches for broadcasting by gaming leagues.
- One player on each team will be able to choose spectator mode during match set up.
- The matches will be 4v4 with two spectators
The Leader and Vengeful medals are now easier to acquire.
The mutators Roadie Comet and Regen Enemies are now easier to acquire.
Added an option to disable the HUD during multiplayer games for machinima and video creators
Added a visual indicator of the next ring’s location during the last 10 ring points in KOTH.

Exploit Fixes

The Onyx Field Engineer medal can no longer be prestiged.
In Capture the Leader, the overhead Beams on DryDock are no longer accessible.
While affected by the Smoke Grenade stun, players will no longer be able to take hostages, pick up weapons or revive teammates.

General Fixes

If there is a host migration during Horde, the match will resume at the same wave.
Also during Horde, the Combat Engineer ribbon can now be achieved once per wave instead of once per game.
The Ranked Disconnect stat will no longer increase when quitting a standard Horde or Beast game.
The cringe from the Mortar will no longer cause players to drop their primary weapon.
The Hail Mary ribbon is now correctly awarded for long distance Boomshot headshots.
Maps will no longer be immediately repeated when choosing random map selection.
If the host pauses during a private versus match the game will continue for other players.

The game will still pause in the Campaign, Beast and Horde.

Potential fix for the rare lost progress issue.
Potential fix for the rare profile freezing issue.
Beast leaderboard screen no longer refreshes while sending challenges

Bring Back Cyclops back to multiplayer!!! i miss my cyclops.
packfan

I would like to see epic change it where if you are in a party and the party decides they want to leave then it should be where the leader of the party leaves and when everyone else leaves they are put back into the party again instead of having to send invites to everyone to get them back in the party. That would be great if you guys can fix that.
METALSH0CKWAVE

yo do me a favor and bring back the skorge character cuz he was my all time favorite locust !!! and if this is the last gears game ever go all out bring back every gears map ever made !!!

dannnnnyy

please bring back GUARDIAN ! you say youll do stuff for your fans… well if you want to make your fans happy and get them to stop playing mw3 and start playing gow3 again… BRING BACK GUARDIAN from gow2. DO IT FOR THE FANS!
EpicSam

The worst thing about this game is the sawed off if not to be removed completly it should be a map based weapon. Can’t fault horde at all its an amazing game mode but beast mode should have its waves extended and a few more characters introduced and maybe even the choice for a lambent beast mode. Other than that perfect game
Robbie Gravez

The update fixed some unlockable skins that were mucking up from me, the chrome retro came to me even tho i had the ‘domination’ achievement since way before I got gears 3 =) and i already have comet now? this is a huge breeze of gow work to do off my mind =P
Mharam2

so this pretty much did nothing to fix the real issues, gears is dead
Justin Lopez

Great job Epic!
http://twitter.com/randybrito Randy Brito

I don’t like the next ring indicator!!
Edgar.

One question, when i started the game it automaticly download the 2nd update, until there everything is fine, but when i tried to play one ranked match something happened, a anounce appeared saying that the match can´t be played because the host don´t have the current version or something like that, is because the update or what it is? Regards.

PD: Sorry for my bad english, i need to improve it more LOL.
Jorgead13

good
Leg3ndz

Like so many people have said before..bring Guardian back. It was ur ONLY pride and joy and Gears 2. Also, if this is the last gears game being made, come out with playlists that involve every single versus map from gears 1 and gears 2..that will keep players interested. I suggest doing something like rainbow six Vegas 2 did with their golden elite system cause for players who hit 100 and get an extremely shitty looking skin it really isn’t worth it. Cmon Epic, I know u guys have a friken brain.
- Leg3ndz
  
  Oh and I forgot..we need more playlists. A great playlist idea would be oldschool. Everything from gears 1 and only gears 1. No sawed off shotgun, no retro lancer, no mortar, no mulcher, no poison grenade. The TRUE gears fans lived for the gnashed battles in gears 1. That’s where the all the action was at. All reduce the power of the lancer in the oldschool playlist and take off stopping power..just because that was probably the dumbest idea..ever
  - Leg3ndz
    
    And more too add!!! We need more locust characters to play as..there’s simply not enough. And more playlists! Don’t forget!
BloodyHelmet 94

armored kantus, palace guard, and MORE VARIETY for locust characters for multiplayer. i know female characters might be kinda hard to make, seeing as the only female characters are berserkers and myrrah, but i’m bored of using her to get the medal for using females. at least make another skin for myrrah, and using a mini berserker as a character might seem kinda cool. anyone agree?
Sconiersl

Map packs of Old Gears…Subway…Jacinto. Since this is the last Gears, bring back some old Maps…G3 iz HOT!!!

great update

please put the hardcore mode on permanently thanks
THE BROCKSTER X

Gamer tag THE BROCKSTER X. OK IS GOOD TO SEE THAT WE HAVE AN UPDATE BUT IT IS NOT FAIR TO ME AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT YOU PUT THE MUTATORS EASY FOR EVERYBODY WHEN WE ALL SPEND HOURS OF GAME PLAY TO HAVE IT. IT WOULD BE NICE IF ALL THE ONE LIKE ME HAD A REWARD ON GEARS 3. THATS WHY IM KIND OF MAD ABOUT IT. CAUSE ALL WAYS SOME CRYING PEOPLE THAT WANT EVERYTHING EASY. AND ONE OTHER THING IT WOULD BE COOL IF YOU GUYS MAKE NEW MODES NEW WEAPONS IF THIS IS GOING TO BE THE LAST GAME MAKE IT MORE COOL THAN IT IS AND AN UPDATE THAT WE CAN CHANGE,CUSTOMICE ARE CHARACTERS AND EXCLUSIVE SKIN WEAPONS LIKE INSTED OF A NORMAL WEAPON ON XMAS WHY NOT A CANDY CANE THAT SHOOT OR THANKSGIVING DAY DRESS UP LIKE TURKEYS OR PELEGIRNS ETC. WELL THATS ALL AND THANKS FOR LISTENING HAVE A NICE DAY AND A KICK ASS THANKSGIVING DAY.

Saundersjohnson355

TDM is shit, not hard to lancer for kills. Now a TDM with execution rules would be awesome
Lilsoraownzz

  okayyyy lol

  Hammerburst is a noob weapon, use the lancer!

Does this new title update 2 give me back my level 76 because if not gears of 3 has screwed me and anyone else who has got their level reset to 1. Could of been 100 byn ow, figure the other stufff u added on where’s my level tt vanisd for no apparent reason?
John

Could you maybe make the palace guard a MP character and give us some more skins for myrrah?
Axlneverdie

fixed servers for gears3 in brazil pleaseee,is giving error finding matches quick and ranked match
Ggears Fan

I love the new updates, the only thing that they really need to implement is…..Please for the love of God, take out the man up rule. It ruins gameplay.
The FoTown Hero

Dear EPIC,
I think it would be very popular for Gears 1 fans if a public match system were incorporated into the game. In this way, it would be possible for players to host a match the way they like it even if nothing is permanently changed in the game itself. The problem with private is that you have no choice but to play with friends which decreases the competitiveness of the match (you could join quick matches and invt players but that is very tedious and when they leave you have to do it over again) and matchmaking is a little too “try-hard” based for everyday play. You could include more hosting customization options such as turning stopping power on and off, some type of system in which it is a smoother transition between matches where players can choose teams/maps, opposing team chat between rounds, etc.

I don’t know anything about programming so I don’t know if this is even in the realm of possibility but I feel that this would create more interest in the game for your non-CoD matchmaking style fans and it is worth a try.

Sincerely,
The FoTown Hero
Anonymous

in latin countries (at least Brazil and Chile) after the update we can’t find online versus matches, it really dissapoint me, is an unnecessarily change like in gow 2, Why you commit the fucking same error again?

keep the alpha mode but you should be able to pick the gametype

Rio7mile26

Gears of war will always b the best gm to me but the only problem in gow3 it seemed like they made it for the noobs….. Its easy to snipe now… lancers hurt more thats for the lancering and hammerburst bums.. then the saw off cause the real gears fans no how to kill with a gnasher… gow 2 was just great but make execution like tdm so i wont be getting lancered by a noob thats scared to come get me so they warzone me
Rosa

come on please put it back the full screen for HD

Yeah put it back the full screen for HD

You should not be able to attack opposing team during the respawn protection.
Fabiotomasiak

After Title Update 2 for Gears of War 3, we are not able to play online in Brazil. Please fix this!
Funyhoney916

Ok a few things….
1. The new update visual indicator of the next ring’s location during the last 10 ring points in KOTH is a MISS! Why tell us where the next ring is going to be, so we can camp the spot? The update should of been to make the ring sequence different every round.
2. Please change when you jump into any quick match you are automatically marcus, not your preferred character. Including joining a frieds horde game..sucks!
3. Also I agree with the others on bringing back Guardian! FUN!
4. Bring back picture taking when you are in dead mode.
5. Bring back when you LB you can see what guns ppl are using like gears 2.
6. Maybe customize armor?? Like pink for girls! Wink Wink**
- Funyhoney916
  
  Ya, also can we have TDM with exicution rules?? Im tired of getting lancered or retro lancered down from hella far…coming out of the spawn!! lol
  And can we please make it so that when we spawn, the other team dosnt spawn right behind us like 5 seconds later? It should automatically know to put them at the whole other side of the map. Dosnt that seem fair??
  
  Thanks!
Rmbroncos87

gowfan u read my mind. Gaurdian was pretty much my favorite multiplayer

I think its shitty you had to make the game easier for people that think its too hard.

Can we please have theater back and the ability to check our stats online like gears 2 because I do some really good stuff that I’d like to watch again later please like so epic can read and maybe consider
The Truth

Im guessing no one read that they said “dedicated servers will not be available.” Which explains for the lag and shots not registering well.

More locust characters and waves for Beast. And bring back Guardian!!!!

why cant i wall bounce any more?
Jgbigg

y cant i wall bounce? its seems i have to hit the wall now and cant cancell it and the movement seems slower
Kdrex19

Epic why take wall bouncing out of gears of war 3 that just turned it into a call of duty 3rd person game. What you should be doing is patching the retro lancer and sawed off.

like this so they see it.

Ain’t guardian like capture the leader
swello36

Yeah i’ve got a couple of buds that want Guardian brought back too..i didn’t play it too much. always on execution…GIVE TDM EXECUTION RULES….leave the regular tdm like it is, but give an option to play tdm w/execution rules…..i love everything about this game….but does the ink really have to freeze up up so bad? lol
Jennypie26

Did they change the reange on the sawed-off ? Seems like it or I’m having a bad day
- Rocknrollskater66
  
  I think they did cos I shot a guy from the back n it didn’t kill him it was very strange today
- Steman1981
  
  Think they toned it down abit due to gnasher lovers moaning about it!!

What about everybody starting as Marcus? When we start after one person switches characters at the beginning, everybody in the match is Marcus. Or when someone joins, they’re Marcus.
MaNiC

Fix the Match Making System by making it more fair. If a team is in a full party match them against another team in a full party. Full teams crush individual players. People want to play with their friends, just as i do. But when i’m playing with my friends its no fun to run threw team after team with kids quiting every game. Just as it is no fun to go into a game by yourself and get destroyed by a full team. This problem REALLY needs to be fixed. If you don’t know how to fix it ask Bungie because HALO has been getting it right since since the 2nd game.
concerned

fix the spawning charater? so you have your perfered skin you choose? maybe next patch that can be done.
King

“The Ranked Disconnect stat will no longer increase when quitting a standard Horde or Beast game.” – Any plans on fixing the records of players who received disconnects prior to the patch? I have two disconnects because of standard horde and it would be great to have them removed.
Diersivart

Please fix the verses spawning
Dollars_74

You did nothing to fix anything of importance! And you had us pay for maps that are useless unless you play freaking horde! WTH…..

People please with the sawed off get over it they made it so it only has one shot and really bad range its only OP if u get within melee range

all my progress was restarted
Trap3914

Dont start bitching about the weapons thats what got gears 2 fucked over weapons updates are to help everyone not to help the little noobs that dont know how to get out of the way of a retro or get to close to a sawed off if you die by the weapon its your own damn fault i love gears 3 yeah i get pissed sometimes but its my own damn fault for makeing the mistake i dont want another updated gears 2 !!!! so shut the fuck up
AnnoyedGear

As a gamer who had multiple issues some of which stopped me from playing, I feel Epic owes us something. I mean I couldn’t play campaign at all and got the damn authorize error so many times.
Rocknrollskater66

Did you guys patch the sawed off with this patch? Seems weak now please epic watch the updates epic that is what messed up gears of war 2 don’t patch the sawed off and enough with the hating cos I use both loco surge all day
Dxn227

MAKE EXECUTION RULES ON KOTH OR BRING BACK ANNEX!!!!!!!!
disappoint

No nerfing of sawed off?
Chrizzv

OKAY EPIC this is what this game really need. You should be able to search private matches like gears 1. I had so much fun creating my own games doing sniper only matches and i bet theirs plenty more people who loved doing that too. Better options for private matches primary weapons could be allowed to be changed example the weekend game modes weapons was not basic assault rifle/shotgun deal also mutaters can be selected too like Unreal Tournament 3. alpha mode needs an upgrade and stop taking out all the good things in your games. the object is to take the previous things and make’em better not the other way around. GUYS LIKE THIS SO THEY CAN MAKE GEARS 3 THE GREATEST GAME EVER
Alex_Avater4elements

Dear Rod
hi i have been a gears fan since the first game came out and i live in Australia and i cant get a weapon skin from jack in a box because they dont have it here and i was just wondering if you could email me one because i would really appreciate it if you can email my email is Alex_Avater4elements@hotmail.com please i would really appreciat it or send me a private message on facebook my name is Alex Scarpino.

Jukid88

Lets not Get rid of TDM but improve it with Excecution Rules, which still allow 15 Total Respawns, but cuts down on people hiding and lancering down.
GoW2 still w8ing

NO HAMMERBURST SHOT LIMITER?!?!?!?!?!
EPIC FAIL!!!!!
13000 ppl in TDM and not as many in all other game types combined lmao
They need dedicated SERVER…not plural
on disc DLC lol
Terrible Epic
Brandonwao

Please fix the fact that a smoke grenade could down you if you’re tagged by it. That is just stupid. Another thing that needs to be fixed is the blow up radius for the grenades. A frag grenade would be 200 feet away from me and ill still blow up from it.
Saint_Minnesota

I like how my comment was removed because i exposed the truth about the new tital update, GOW online gameplay used to be a 9 out of 10 but due to the user hosting in quickmatches it is easily a 4 out of ten. The lagg is unbearable, not to mention the stalemates. THis needs to be fixed asap
Carlos Hamilton Dias Bittencou

After the update I’m not getting connected at all to come to Brazil are struggling to connect in public matches, you know tell me what’s going on?
Damionhageman35

Reduce the power of the retro. And reduce the accuracy ( increase kick ) of the lancer and hammerburst ( similar to gears 2 ) i believe ,and sure others do as well, that the increase power and reliability of these weapons have reduce the effiectiveness of the gnasher and made these guns easier to use. i know this levels the playing field for new comers. But it takes away from the satisfaction of playing a hard to learn game against smashmouth veteran players. I wanna go ninja on some peoole with my gnasher thats all im saying. I cant do to much of that anymore. Someone tell me im not alone haha.
Leicam99

@EpicGames after Title Update 2 for Gears of War 3, we are not able to play online in Brazil. Please fix this!
Damionhageman35

And maybe narrow the blast on the sawed off just a tiny bit forcing the player to line up a more accurate shot…. That should bring back a more gears shotty battle feel…..( seriously where are the team shotty battle skirmishes at ?)

Rod Ferguson announced in his latest Live Feed on November 16th 2011:
If supported by the community, we will update the Horde Mode to START INCLUDING your kill progression towards the following: Lancer kills/all other weapon kills, meatshield kills, and the other things the DO NOT COUNT as of now.
- i.e. If you play an offline/online match of Horde your kills won’t be tracked or counted in any way towards your Medal progression of your Lancer/Gnasher/Retro/Sawed-Off/Hammerburst or any other gun type.
I hope that this makes sense.
Support this change by liking this comment and making your kills count!
YouknowwatsGood

need new game modes
Chadlawson51

fuck off with the sawed off shotgun noobs an please epic add more spred to the gnasher up close if u guys not want to remove the sawed off shotgun
- Steman1981
  
  piss off the gnasher is way too powerful… head shot at 3 meters… and its just like the sawed off up close. Dont lose the sawed off Epic!!
YouknowwatsGood

Also make a system to kick afk players after 2 mins
Gearsfan

Please add some sort of Horde social mode. Trying to complete 50 waves of horde in public matches starting from wave 1 every time only to have everyone leave 30+ waves into the game stinks. Please let people get added to horde games with fewer than 5 people. Maybe list joinable horde matches in progress for people to choose to join. Thanks!

please EPIC make a DLC for spanish speaking!! PLEASE

i sold my gears of war 3 nice epic for having guardian removed and getting an stupid fuckedup game mode as alpha in the multiplayer you faggs nice job again , atleast im rid of that game and i can chill out with mw3

mil gracias solo me gustaria que nos mandaran todas las explicaciones para realizar los logros ya que en algunos casos no son muy entendibles que debemos hacer para lograrlos.
Mdcartwright

you should be able to start all matches and campaign with frags and increase amount you can carry.make the torque bow a weapon choice in multiplayer love that weapon torque bow over shotguns anyday .and maybe have character select for campaign solo and multiplayer.leave TDM get rid of warzone bring back guardian. and why can’t i use anything i unlocked from the beta? one more thing unlock my gold weapons i was still paying of my gears system the first wek gears 3 came out thank you for your surpport
Brandon

I wish Epic would make it easier to get our medals up for our individual weapons. Instead of just letting kills from Versus help get our medals up, I wish they would let kills from Campaign and Beast/Horde mode count towards our weapon Medals as well. I NEVER use the Retro Lancer and Sawed Off Shotgun in Versus because I barely get kills with those weapons.

When I got on right after the update, it said I instantly got a new achievement, but I don’t see a new one on my list. It was covered up by loading text, so I couldn’t really read it when it popped up. What’s up with that?

For the vengeful and leader medals, it’s easier to acquire now, but it doesn’t progress; it just stays at 10. Fix this very soon.
Mist

DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SHOTGUNS IN THIS GAME!!!
Overpowered and totally unbalanced.
We like the game but we permanently stopped playing cause of the shotguns…
If you dont fix this then go play it by yourselves and your noob shotgun campers!
It ruins the game.

Guardain! And maps from gears 2 like Jacinto, Blood drive(hcp so nevermind), River, and more ! Please
WeAreTheGOW

EPIC you need to listen to us we know what this game needs theirs some great ideas here some can be retarded like taking off TDM and removing the sawed-off but all the rest are good but wut people missing is the idea of being able to search private matches i mean i know im not the only 1 miss doin sniper battles and shotty battles huh. oh and fix alpha mode and horde so we can pick witch type of match and diffeculties we wont to play

I would love to see a match replay mode similar to halos so I can see all the gory head shots in detail ….so many times I’ve gotten killer head shots and couldn’t show it to anyone

have you ever thought about addin new creatures to beast?
StephenZ

What about when you zoom in with the sniper and you look somewhere that you weren’t looking????? For instance I’ll zoom in while leaning out of cover and it will make me look at the wall that I’m leaning out of when I’m clearly looking somewhere else. If in a sniper battle I’ll line my shot up, go to zoom in and all the sudden I’m lost. In result i die. PLEASE FIX THIS!!! The only bad part about the sniper!
homie

Can a nigga get Canals or Fuel Depot???????????
Goobygoogoo

For all you Sawed off haters, either get skill or except the fact that it has its advantages just like that stupid gnasher does. Sawed off takes skill to run up on one or more ppl to take them out. The crappy gnasher takes no skill and you can drop someone from a distance away. Just like the rest of the guns, the all have pros and cons. So get over it and Epic DOES NOT need to take out the sawed off just because you no skill havin ppl dont like it. EXCEPT IT!!!!
Chadlawson51

Epic look 356 players said they want guardain back bring it back ctl is not fun i hate it an also heip ous with gnasher give it more spread
antdinten0825

i think we should get rid of execution and replace it with guardian because execution sucks trust me. In gow3 i want prescott and the game mode left is execution and in gow2 i always played guardian
numbMrmrktplace

my cmpaign is still freezing
Brokenhalokid

One of my few complaints is the sawed-off. Why add another shotgun instead of something else more unique? Sure it’s kind of fun, I feel they could have a smarter decision with that. In fact why isn’t the cleaver included in the multiplayer? Like a whole new playlist with only cleavers?
Minh Dude

They also removed the ability to play Gears Events via private matches, It cost me 80$ to buy your overpriced content Epic, now you want me to spend more on xbl?

Being poor sucks is the moral of this post.

Kimbg2930

Man for this to be such a alpha male game all I hear is little girls whining The most ridiculous comment was when someone said that most people sit back and lance u to death and or saw off ur head or sit behind a corner with a shotgun. So stupid. What is left. I guess we should fight with our fists. Lol. Guys get over it suck it up play the game or stay the he’ll off of it. Simple as that.
Thamukk

i would like 2 be able 2 pick from any of the five starting weapon from the select screen be it horde mode or verses. i like carrying 2 rifles and do care for being forced 2 carry and weapon that i’ just not going to use. if ur going 2 follow call of duty and add leveling this, and unlocking that u might as well allow a digital soldier the comfort 2 play the game his or her own way. AND NOT CONFORM TO UR GAME PLAY STYLE FROM THE START. p.s. have all the books. love’em

I really like TDM as well, but I would sure like the option to play it with execution rules. That’d be awesome and greatly appreciated!!!

Bring guardian back and replace execution. Also make ANY medals gettable in Horde,
I mostly play horde and that makes it hard for me to get any medals.

I posted this before yesterday, but since i dont see it ill post again. this update or maybe its the blades and nades update stopped my horde command pack from working, stopped my camos from working, and my commando dom from working
Xalter

Guardian would be an amazing addition to Gears of war 3, but it should have lancer and gnasher set like alpha with other weapons on the ground to pick up.
The-flash-14

we want canals and fuel depot back

bring back the other characters from gears of war 1 & 2, Tai, Kim, RAAM, & Skorge

Havin too many damn lagging issues and game goin stupid. I go to kill or pick something up and i cant pick anything up and the other players just keep running in whatever direction they was going. I get unlimited ammo with no reload and cant kill anyone then wind up dead or clear across the other side of the map. WTF is with this shit??!!!!
But lovin it when its not doin that dumb shit.
Benjamin Brown

awsome love the update i really like the next being shown in king of the hill
Kool4life77

Blades and Nades….. by far the most stupidest fucking playlist created. I swear this game is slowly becoming noob friendly. First, the sawed off and the retro lancer, now this? ffs you’re losing your best players, but I guess its all about pleasing the bitches right?
Luisfon93

deberian de hacer antes una actualizacion para el arma de skin de ruego retro lancer y

look for all the noobs that want to cry about everything gears three is up to date and accurate to peoples needs if you would quit crying about everything you would just realize that if u cant play gears three cause it is too hard then go back to 2 and all u stupid babies can get what u want all games have ups and down but the new gears three is alright a substantially better than 2 and all the guns need to stay all the game types need to stay and all you need to just quit crying

GnasherNinja

i think you should add gaurdian without sawedoffs and exicution rules for leader only, dont take anything away from the game its fine the way it is sure people get pissed about the sawed off, but its called adepting and overcoming, i havent been killed by a sawed off in a week because i learned to look at the weapon in their hand, its easy to avoid
- http://twitter.com/james_bleasdale James Bleasdale
  
  you mean (correct spelling) execution for killing the leaders in guardian which it already is in gears 2 and i agree with what you say about the sawed off shotty but ps you spelled adapt wrong
Daniel

cmon epic remove capture the leader and put guardian we all miss guardian

what the hell?!! what does your currant gamer profile settings do not allow playing online games meam?
Devastation20X

TDM is awesome. Thanks for the improvements… I was wondering about the Beast mode thing relaoding everytime I tried to look at my stats. Oh, by the way… Here is an idea. A second silverback for Horde mode. I see it in Beast all the time, so, when my buddies and I went to Horde, we both saved up 12,500 and I bought one, thinking we could have two. Whats up with that?
Imcasttostone

I think that TDM should have a common goal to reach. For example, each team should have to reach 20 kills or so, not start with 20 lives and which ever team reaches zero first loses. This causes good players to become upset because they are pretty much being punished for not dying. I had many games where I would only die once or twice in a round and either re-spawn being on one of my teams final lives or not being able to re-spawn at all because of my poor teammates who run face first into the other team.

i participated in the beta but i used a different account -.- now i wont get flames

From A concerned gamer:
The kill-stealing in gears of war 3 is outrageous. At times it seems easier for other players to take my down for their own kill. I honestly think this needs to be changed, when players steal my kills I don’t even want to continue playing the game. My suggestion is to make it that whoever gets the down, receives the kill no matter who shoots it. This will still give the ‘downer’ the kill and possibly an assist for the actual killer. Changing this kill-stealing problem would greatly enhance game-play and not allow reasons to stop playing

Sincerely: A concerned gamer
Jonah Halter

Question, when you say easier to acquire (vengeful medal), what is the exact count for obtaining the onyx?

On a side tangent… Is there anyone not whining in these comments? Lol. Nothing I have read constitutes as even a minor concern to the game, and much less a substantial one. Anyways, isn’t this comment section for questions about the update?
zRealcat

Guardian was my favorite, and only, gamemode I played in Gears 2, why did it disappear?!
Batista_23

get rid of the sawed off lol to many noobs hiding around corners not fair for other players and bring guardian back awsome game type

you should make a flaming and gold weapons pack for the people who couldnt get the beta

Epic, you guys suck, i loved gears, played since the first one, and you guys ruined the third one for me, it’s not even fun to play anymore, it just outright sucks, you lost a fan in me
FINAL D00M6

Have 6 players on Horde.Make it so two players with Lancers can cut down a Boomer.And maybe hold two hand guns.
- FINAL D00M6
  
  And one more thing on horde.Let us buy Jack the robot.Jack could also help the Silver backs.
  Or better yet let us have more then one silver back on Horde.

I’m sad that I never got my progress back. I lost all collectibles also. So sad.

Firstly i have spotted friends back on gow2 on guardian so i think we need it back. as for the shotguns i cant understand peoples problems with them. I use both all the time depending on what the other team are like you can change them mid game. Waiting round a corner is part off the game just check your corners.

Dunno why everyone complains about the sawed-off shotgun, you have to be extremely close for it to even hit let alone kill. The Retro Lancer was the worst addition to the game, hands down.
- Brokenhalokid
  
  Actually, strongly disagree against the retro being the worst edition to the game. The sawed-off was probably the worst. Why add another shotgun to the game, not to mention its slow reload time. I think they just should have put their time into a whole different weapon entirely.
Goplay Gamers

EPIC great game EVER !!!!….. excellente weapons…. IM in love with the RETRO LANCER…I wish epic cames to ARGENTINA !!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://twitter.com/RevIdolize Patric Moles

Some of you guys are pure idiots.

Guardian > CTL
TDM must stay
Sawed-Off & Retro = HAVE TO GO!

Those guns are the WORST guns ever in this game.
B102989

I think that the retro lancer is over powered along with the snub pistol especially with the people that cant play fare and not have MODED controllers U GUYS THAT CANT USE A REGULAR CONTROLLER NEED TO GET A LIFE. And I keep reading about THE SAWED OFF I enjoy using both shotguns its all about what map your on as to what weapon needs to b used. An TDM is really funny except for the fact of COD CAMPERS (YOU GUYS NEED TO GET A LIFE AS WELL) The other problem I was having online is somehow people keep shooting me threw walls like they have special bullets. FOR ALL YOU HACKERS OUT THERE GIVE US REGULAR PEOPLE A CHANCE!!!!! YOU SCARED TO LOSE WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE MODS AND HACKING GAMES????? YOU GUYS THAT DO THAT ARE LAME LOSERS!!! THX. EPIC I ENJOY THE GAME THE BEST SO FAR BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT NEED TO B FIXED AND DOUBLE MAYBE TRIPLE CHECKED..
Franunotres

señores queremos que en ALPHA vuelva el modo GUARDIA de la edicion gears of war anteriores, a sido un gran fallo del juego, ya que era uno de los modos con mas seguidores de todo gears. un saludo y gracias

  why dont you when you rank up be fore you go off go onto your system settings on yr console and then click memory then find gears of war 3 on yr games then look for your player data and either put it on a pen drive or cloud then when you next go on gears even though you player data isn’t on that and it should access the servers for your online rank then when you play a game and lvl up or get another medal you will find on yr hard drive another player data and also on a pen drive or cloud but you have to keep updating them or you will have one player data on a different level but doing this backs up your player data thus if it corrupts delete it off yr hard drive and load it off a pen drive or cloud and simply do the back up process again and your rank and medals are safe

Hopefully next the can patch the level reset problem. The stress has cut my life by 10 years at least.

Ok…so what no fix for the load screen freeze???? I bought this game new and I am still having the same damn problems. Dont smoke crack when writing the game.
Jared

Oh I c a potential fix. Well guess what……It didn’t get fixed. A waste of 60 dollars.
Wrestles4food

They should enable on-screen loadout switches in split-screen mode, versus having to pause the entire game, go into multiplayer settings, and change it.

Also. Like this comment if you’re told you can’t access servers without downloading the new title update, but pressing X to download does nothing… No idea what to do.
Wrestles4food

OOH OOH! I FORGOT
If I jam my gun, I should be able to switch weapons. I’m okay with having to unjam it later, but sitting there and jacking off my gun while i’m being shot at makes me and my character look like retards. If my shotgun is being a turd, I’ll deal with it once i’m behind cover.

I could care less about anything. All I want is for dedicated servers to come back. That host shit is still there and it is stupid as hell. It lags no matter what.

Fix the real problems like people eating shots at point blank range 90% of the time and the retro lancers power also the way to long clip of the lancer and getting updated every other kill! play your game and help your fans nobody gives a shit about this update!
gow1daonlygears

Hey Epic how about a matchmaking system of equal skill level how about you fix the shit you Fu#K$$ up with your title update Gears one will forever be your best seems you can’t make another decent game.
gow1daonlygears

Hey Epic fix your fuckin update so much sponging its not funny!!!

  dude there has been another title update since this one
Patrickmonahan23

New update sucks so bad I could cry. Running in sand and it almost seems even tho my sensitivity is at the highest I can’t move the same. I’m a prestige 65 and I swear I’ll never play the game again. The children running epic games are rip offs for the money they charge. Let gamers that had the beta play a game at a fast pace for 10 months and then put out an update that slows charachter movement and ruins the whole game. Beast campaign and online. You all got yer money tho rite…
S15ink

Uuhh personally I could care less if they bring back modes or change weapons I just wish they could even the teams out better my k/d surfers all the time because I get tuck with team mates that suck and opponents that are all either in a clan or are in a party I mean most of the time I have about 10 deaths and like 18 kills while my team mates don’t even have as many kills put together am no pro but come on epic I have seriously gone through 3 remotes kuz it’s so frustrating
JDBAKERDESIGNS

Why is it when we do not have real region control …I want and for that matter most people I know want a sense of control ….I don’t want to play people from other countries (no offense)..sick of the language barrier and the lag they bring to the servers…..even DICE gives ya server choice ….me and friends play and we always end up on with Mexico or some other country
JDBAKERDESIGNS

Fix for everyone ..put in a classic mode in which doesn’t allow sawed off and retro lancers ..
Hit detection is worse now with title update 3/4….fix that geez

When will they be back on??

Capture the leader sucks. All of my friends hate it. We all want guardian back!! It was the best game type and epic takes it away???? So disappointing

Where in RF did king of the gnasher go? It got rid of all those pus’ @$$ players that behind their rifles all game… Finally a test of try shot and strafe/bounce skill and epic takes it away! Way to ruin the best mode ever created! Replacing it with crap modes like torque bow tag?! Who even plays that bullshit?!?
