[UnregisteredGreyGear]

:confused: will weapons that don't have the obvious bells and wistles of the chainsaw have a melee attack wherte you just hit the guy with your gun?
and will hits from behind be instant kills?

yes all weapons will have melees but only a select few will have a "special" melee like the chaisaw, and the assasination kill has not been announced yet

ooooooo i hope its like halo melee style, and w/e button the chainsaw is on the lancer is prolly the same button u would hit for other guns to just wack the butt of the gun in there face

what do u mean by halo style? i think ur talking about how not every melee is the same, thats what i would like b/c sometimes in halo u kinda backhand somone with ur gun and sometimes u upper cut them with ur gun,....... i think Gears should have a couple of different kinds of melee, especially for the chainsaw, like one that we saw at e3, then maybe a horizontal slice or something, btw "B" is for melee and when u hold it then u rev up ur chainsaw and start shreddin:D

Uday said it perfectly, i think there will be no need for a cheap shot assisination a la Halo 2 because you can just chainsaw them...:D

Its kind of funny when you are killed by getting hit on the back. At least with these melees, you know that if it happend to you in real life, you will die!:D

o, thats sounds damn cool

[Flaming Hornets]

I hope the pistol melee is like the pistole melee from Halo 1. Just because you span it on you finger, and it looked so cool.
I want a seriously over the top melee for a gun, when you just grab the nozzle and swing it wildly. Or better yet, you could throw the gun at them.

[Xenomorph]

All guns have a bashing meelee, even Lancer, if you tap the B button you bash, and if you hold down B then you chainsaw the *** outta them :D

[Zoso Fan]

I wonder if the knife is the special move for the sniper... they go good together i think

dunno? maybe, well i guess the knife would have to be a part of the sniper for it to work........im not sure

why bash someone when you have a chainsaw?

[Uday23]

why bash someone when you have a chainsaw?

well maybe u want to kill em quick or just finish them off b/c they have very lil health and it would be dangerous for u to be out in the open chainsawing him for like 5 extra seconds or u might get shot or sniped

[Xenomorph]

So that instead of 99999999999+ Drones hearing you, you can be stealthy. Also in stealth missions, you stealthily take out one enimy with Lancer bash and open fire instead of having to have shotgun bash, then SWITCH to lancer and fire.

what stealth missions?

[Uday23]

what stealth missions?

well we are not sure but there might be stealth missions in GoW

but aside from that a gun bash is much quicker and quieter(so the other drones dont hear u, or the other ppl in online dont here u) than a full throttle chainsaw, lets say ur get close enought to chainsaw or bash a guy but u both are in a dangerous/open area and bullets are flying and there might be a sniper waiting for u to go into the chainsaw animation (soon ppl will memorized exactly how players move in the chainsaw animation and then just aim and snipe u) so instead of using 5 seconds to chainsaw the guy u just bash him(thats if his health is low b/c one bash may not kill him) and run off or get to cover before someone snipes or shoots u, but most likely ppl will be using the chainsaw really often, i know i will use it everytime i get a chance:D

[RawrInATor]

Yes... What gunner game is complete w/o the oh-so-famous Pistol Whippage?
PISTOL WHIPPED SUUUCCCKKKAA!!!!!!!!
Plus its just humiliating if you get killed by a pistol whip if you have, saw the torque bow? Or that 1 that shoots the grenade then explodes into about 5 other grenades for 5 more explosions!
*is that the same weapon? i forget...:D

torquebow= crossbow that shoots explosive arrows that stick into things and can be remotely detonated

Boomshot= shoots an explosive bomb that bursts into a bunch of smaller very destructive bomblets

[RawrInATor]

Oh, riiiiight. Kay thanks Uday.
Ill try to remember that...

sure anytime, btw if u want to learn more about those weapons just Search and i guarantee u will find a couple cool threads about them

[NyR Kil0WaTTs]

yea there are some differnt kind of chainsaw kills and melees because in the oxm radio they talked about how at E3 someone got there arm chopped off

[Scoopable]

Wall I am a hell of a hockey fan (Yes i tossed a beer at the set when the Canes won, then again I was happy to see Rod ghet to hold that cup :D) and I can say I'd love too see a melee move that would Body check a locust into the wall and "stun" them causing them to take time to get up...

[Flash1087]

You know, a body check would be cool. Or like a running tackle/clothesline or something.

[UnregisteredGreyGear]

i hope the mele has a moderate effect, unlike against flood or the one in Metal Arms, which are worthy of crap!!

GRENADE MELEE BASICALLY CONFIRMED!!!
http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=16877#post16877

im so excited, the interciew buttpriate found is great, btw macheteman if u have time i would like to test out something on u, it involves a grenade:D ;)

[SaCtOwN XSV]

i believe they will be using the grenade mellee not as an anytime you feel like move, but when u become entanged in what they're calling the "DDR" style fighting, when you come out the winner of this 4 button fight dance, your finishing fatality will be sticking a grenade into the locusts mouth..

Of course fatalities will alternate, if your out of grenades you may break his neck, if your close to a wall, u may smash the locust's face into the wall, and if you were just equiped with your chainsaw gun, well u guess.

The thing that we should all be looking out for is, unlike what they did with Ghost recon Advanced Warfighter, is if Epic will allow the plaer to retain the same abilities in multiplayer. In GRAW the single player was amazing, you retained the 3rd person style, you could snap shoot around corners, and you felt you could more efficiently control your firing and accuracy.

In GRAW's multiplayer, they made it crap, 1st person, no gun, so its just a aimer floating around your screen shooting inaccurate little bullets around, making it not nearly as interactive or fun.

I truly hope GoW is an amazing game, and they dont take away cinematical killing in multiplayer.

Granted no one wants to be running and randomly someone can just come up and preform a fatality on you, and insta kill you, but putting this DDR style hand to hand into use against two humans in multiplayer, that will truly be a first.
