So I have this friend on XBL. I played quite a bit of Gears of War 2 with him. He complained often about connection issues. Mind you he got host quite often, so when he didn't it became quite the bitchfest. He always regarded his connection to be top notch, regardless of the fact that only held true about 50% of the time. We were always nice and didn't complain too much. But when he was not host, it was on. We would have a full group and the other 4 of us would have little to no lag, that's when his rage would have no end. It took about 2 games and he would just give up. Fast forward to Gears 3. I had not played with this friend in a while, it was late, so I didn't actually play with him. I did however listen to him in the party chat. No bitching about lag... This time he has a new target: the Lancer. "These bitches need to learn how to use a shotgun!". He screams, while I support the use of the gnasher, he hasn't quite grasped the way the game works. In previous Gears games it seemed most battles ended up with shotguns or power weapons. Gears 3 so far seems to work better with long range (Lancer, Retro, or Hammerburst). While it takes some adjustment, it's a very necessary weapon set in the new game. For example: The opposing team consists of at least 3 players using a sawed-off. They like to rush at you. Logically I am going to pull a Lancer on them so they die before they can get close enough to instagib me with the sawed-off. The games is a lot more about every weapon now and it's all about the particular situation. Why would you run at the other team with a shotgun, when they have long range crossfire on you?
I am reasonably sure we all have friends that bitch more than trying to just play smarter. I have some of my own beef to make, but I will save that for later.
