  - kevinvannatter
    
    Oh it’s sad alright. But something tells me you are all unaware of the way in which it is sad, thus making it even more sad.

Does the Tyranny skin remain as an option for further use when the Weekend event is over? Or does it disappear when the event is over?

Screw Gnasher Gaurdian, give us a FoN Gaurdian playlist. ‘I’ve Got This’ is pretty much impossible as it is now.

Can you sort the mqap rotation out. Sick of playing rustlung and bulletmarsh, escalation. Please fix this. Also are we going to get any other maps or is this it until the next game.
Drakolopez79

I am stuck on 26/30 event medals, when can we get new events? Recycling events has a lot of people stuck on 29/30 don’t u think you should give the gamers what we need. Was the last event in may and where almost in July come on. Give us maybe a only pistol event called wild west maybe. Thanks guys keep up the good work like the gnasher skin very much.
SlayerArrg2

I did like the skin, they should have it permanent, but we need more game modes like raven down 24/7.
http://twitter.com/FinalStryke Luke Patrick

I really do think the Tyranny and The Judge skins should stick around. Those two are very cool, and a lot of players use them.
Kevin

Hey You Guys Should Make A Skin Color That Is Black And Lime Green With The Gears Sign
- MJC
  
  that would be tight!!
WCG-BigDaddy

Would love it more if the skin was blue!! How bout giving us matching skins for the other weapons too. Remember BLUE skins!!
Mhmm Gewd

dont waste your time just watch this vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwTWOHmbNso
- Yup
  
  Priceless video LOL. This is why gears 3 is so popular,
  thumbs up to the guy who posted it.

No one cares anymore! I hate to say it but Gears used to be amazing until all the patches jacked everything up and super wall bouncing took over the game. If you want people to return to care reset the weapons to how they were at release and add a cool down after someone slide to cover. By “cool down” I mean make it so that the wall slide can only happen say ever 2 seconds.
- Jonathan Rizo
  
  NOOB GTFO
- >.<
  
  Omg… that us the worst idea ive ever heard in my entire life.
BUTTER

Sounds like a mega bounce weekend to me! Slide, slide, slide, shoot, slide, shoot, slide, slide and shoot! Oh! Were you shooting at me the whole time? Well let me slide, slide, slide, shoot, slide, shoot, slide, slide, shoot and roll <— Through a change up! That was dangerous lets go back to the safety of slide, slide, shoot, slide, shoot, slide, slide and shoot. Oh shit you head blew off I did'nt even really aim that much. That cool! Well let me slide, slide, slide, shoot, slide, shoot, slide and shoot. It sounds amazing when you read it. I mean who wouldn't wanna play with this level of skill. LOL!

On top of all the problems, I would also have to say that the people who use Evil controllers also ruined Gears 3. Auto Pickup, Auto Target, Rapid Fire for All weapons and The worst part never miss perfect Active Reloads. Easy Button much! This game got garbage after the patch that nerfed the sawed off. That was the only weapon that shut down wall bouncing and gave the ability to a player with a normal controller to kill a player with an Evil controller. All in all though I was a fan of Gears before they marketed to Call of Duty Kids

  It sure is fantastic you felt the need to troll in the Epic community forums about the things that ruined GoW 3 for you.
  1. You clearly are inexperienced if you can’t handle wallbouncing and have to rely on the that crutch called the sawed off to mitigate it. Have you ever thought to soften them up with a lancer and then shoot them with a gnasher. OR, just learn how to wallbounce cuz it’s a great tool once you know how to use it.
  2. I do agree with you on the modded controllers and hope all devs take a note from Max Payne 3 MP and put all the cheaters in their own lobbies.
  3. Don’t play in lobbies like Gnasher Guardian that clearly cater to wallbouncing, play TDM where you have your sawed-off and can continue making it super easy for me to kill you.
  - Skeezixian
    
    sawed off rewards the element of surprise, but it’s a dangerous gambit when you’re rolling up on someone with the “old-reliable” gnasher. if you kill someone with any weapon it’s because you were using it correctly
- Poop
  
  You’re a fucking retard.
- Chris
  
  LMAO you should change your name to bitter, You think wall bouncing blind fireing is so easy and boring and skill less,Then in the same breath complain about the biggest noob gun in gaming history except the retro being nerfed. Either get good our do like ever other poor gears 3 player equip the retro spray it out of spawn to abuse the massive active damage then never ever switch weapon and actully believe your a decent player
  
  All the ppl who use the noob crutches sit on the gears forums and tell every body else to adapt yet when it comes to having to use ability to adapt our use basic techniques fail
  
  It isnt hard to maintain distance to beat some body wall bouncing dont pull left trigger and hard aim like a tu6 pre active noob, Makes it to easy for the wall bouncer
  Do walk backwards and blind fire
  Shoot as they hit the the wall our change direction before hitting the wall
XIneedMoneyx

the Tyranny Skin is the BEST Skin ever please let it in the Game please
DataMan325

I got my level reset on gears 2 when I was at level 97… Then got reset on gears 3 at level 88 now I’m finally back at 54 but with all the mods people are using and being reset over and over with not so much of a “I’m sorry” from Microsoft or epic I am really thinking of giving up on gears and I have been a huge fan from day 1… Thanks For Nuthin A-Holes!!!!!
Blackjack1514

Derartz

Dude GNASHER GUARDIAN WAS AMAZINGLY FUN!!!!! Me and my friends went on a 15 win streak
http://profile.yahoo.com/ROZENMWS2FCOF4HKJZR235ST4E K Factor

Gears is pretty silly now. I often find myself getting approached by people with modded controllers running into battle with pistols and hammerbursts, something that rarely happened in gears of war 1 and 2. And those incendiaries, it’s impossible to dodge them because they have an elephant size radius. Title update 4 def. ruined a lot of the game for a lot of people. And that retro lancer, it says it has a shorter range than the lancer and hammy in the menu, so why do kids down you across the map with it? Think that one through maybe.

  one more thing, gnasher guardian, why have pistols? It’s not pistol guardian, but I sure find myself being shot by one
Mrgears

frag tag madness no other weapons
- FSK
  
  throw em too. call it “Dodgeball”
Surr3al_atrocities

fools getting reset. backup your game and quit powering off during save screens and the other stuff that causes resets.
FSK

capture the flag…err something. Gears is getting boring and old quick, the gears weekends aren’t doing it anymore.
Moonglorious420

The skin in nice, but we really do need more maps or at the very least some variety with the events. Cmon Epic.
LunaMary67

The tyranny skin is so awesome , I would love if you made it available as a permanent skin
LunaMary67

Just want to throw this out there if you can make a reverse midnight skin to an all white gun with black omen and call in eclipse
Golden Kantus

Gnasher guardian is decent but not TOO different from regular guardian since most players are afraid to leave their gnasher comfort zone. Still fun though.

Also, this skin looks amazing, Should put it out for all the guns. Just do an Event collection with all of the even skins for all of the weapons. From Mint and Candy Cane all the way to Tyranny. I’ll pay another 20 or so dollars for that.
Starwolf1001

probably won’t play this week either…..it’s just become a chore and when it’s a chore it’s just not fun any more
Delgado7647

will u please put Guardian in private mode plz plz plz plz!! i got the ive got this achievement but the ivory skin is still locked. plz plz plz ppl r going insane trying to get this!!!
Poop

Gnasher Guardian sucks
Oz_diseno

good design and the event is the best you perform
vWOLFBONEv

great job epic keep the variants coming their a breath of fresh air to the gears fans now weapon modes appeal to the more seasoned players! now can we get regional servers i.e. us mexico europe and so on thanks we will be waiting.
Kier131

please give us assasin back!
Jps25

How about execution where everyone cog is Kim and locust team is raam, so some of us can get the foreshadowing achievement.
Ivan Lindblad

Please ,make some fun playlists in HordeBeast mode also!? And you guys had a Boomshot only weekend one time, i would love to have that as a permanent playlist.

And maybe something crazy like a only boomers playlist in horde, and stuff like that.
http://profile.yahoo.com/4IDUNHGRS2R5DOWYUT7H2A4KOY Josh

The playlist sucks ass change it please.
Greeckos

I think you all need to fix the damn bot issue. If someone has host, their bots bullets hit so hard. they are on INSANE it seems. But the bots that I get stuck with, stare at the ground, and pull a smoke grenade out. come on. there has got to be a way around this. I am so tired of it happening
Dayman437

Dear Epic,
THE JUDGE AND TYRANNY SKINS ARE AWESOME!!

Thanks,
A. Fan

P.S. If you make them permanent, I’ll be your best friend!
