A Helpful Little Tip [Concerning the shotgun LT + RT Glitch]

[iChuck N0rr1s]

I don't know if any of you know this so please don't flame me if you do. This is concerning the people who loved to "quick aim" with the shotgun in GoW 1. Many of you already know that we are punished in GoW 2 with a stupid delay if you hit LT + RT simultaneously making us steer away from quick aiming. I've figured out that this delay only happens when your shotgun is not in the "ready" position.

Ex. When your player is walking and is swaying the shotgun side to side he is not in the ready position. If you notice that as soon as you either aim the gun or shoot the gun your player will come back down in the ready position. You will notice because he is holding the gun somewhat straight and it is not swaying from side to side.

At this point you can use the quick aim technique without fail. As long as your player is in the ready position no matter how many times you press LT + RT together you will not get the delay. Be warned though, when you reload your weapon or change weapons your player gets out of the ready position so make sure those guns are pointed straight gentlemen :)

Well I hope this helped some of you. Like I said before if you already know this I apologize. It just occurred to me that it could be something not so easily spotted by some people.

Nice find.

[Losthursday]

I'm going to test this for myself. But great find! Good Job!

[xJOKERxWTWB]

Awesome.
I'd heard people say before that "only the first popshot fails" but no one knew why. Great find :D

[iChuck N0rr1s]

Nice find.

Yeah bro I was just in an annex match and I was messing around with the shotty and I don't know how but I somehow spotted this. I thought it just worked at random times but I kept testing it and sure enough it worked.

[Bizkitdoh]

Test it with the sniper O.o ????

[Hive_Node]

test it with the sniper o.o ????

do this nowwwwwwwwww

[Juicy Dookie]

you only discovered this cuz you are chuck norris

[iChuck N0rr1s]

Test it with the sniper O.o ????

No the sniper is different. It just seems to sporadically go in whatever direction it pleases.

Edit: It will quick fire but it doesn't do much good if the bullet doesn't go straight

I love your signature.

[Bizkitdoh]

Popshot still = fail. just tested it... :(

[iChuck N0rr1s]

The popshot yes. You cannot popshot around corners. I'm just talking about the quick aim while you are not in cover.

[iChuck N0rr1s]

Bump....kinda want to keep this up so people know this.

I thought this was old news to most people? I knew about this a few months ago...

Anyways...helpful thread for those who didn't know about it :)

I was thinking the same thing until I saw all these people who didn't know. That's kinda why I want to keep this thread up so people know.

[Bizkitdoh]

Perhaps PM a Epic staff member?

I don't know if they know about this yet.

[iChuck N0rr1s]

Idk...They might do something like take it out completely because they didn't "intend" it to be in the game lol.

[indecent]

Out of curiosity, does being meleed put you into the 'ready stance?'

Might contribute to the inconsistent shooting after being meleed

I'm not sure. I haven't been meleed with enough time to react to tell you or not.

I'm pretty sure being melee'd DOESN'T put you in the ready stance. Seems like the only time I'm able to get a shot off after being melee'd is when I was shooting just before it happened. Otherwise, there's no chance of a shot coming out of my gun even though I'm holding that Right Trigger tighter than a bum holds his change.

[iChuck N0rr1s]

bump haha

[Tom W]

nice. i shall hone in on this technique and pwn n00bs.

as per usual:cool::p

[SkyFire]

lol, nice find. I shall use this to defeat the evil chainsaw :p

[Spazzumes]

That just retarded, you should be able to quick scope anytime. Just another dumb addition to this game...

[EXTREME NOOBHUNTER]

Yeah I always wondered why I could do popshots sometimes and other times I couldn't. Thanks a lot!

[prayingmonkey]

I wanna know why my 400lb armour clad warrior even relaxes his weapon from the ready position when he's in a freaking war.............?

The reality is that its a animation that hampers & affects you're reflexes & actions in-game.

[Lonebutterfish]

hehehe awesome find

[Flipper]

I hate gears 2 shotgun.. =[

[Gnar Killington]

Its a good find but its still pretty freaking annoying.

[iChuck N0rr1s]

Its a good find but its still pretty freaking annoying.

I know what you mean. Having to go through a process to be able to do something that should already be there.

[ziro]

Great find man, Thank you so much for sharing this tip. It has made a big difference in my shotgunning!

I only hope Epic doesn't take it out in the next patch :(

[M4RCU5]

I tested it and he is Double True; in Google colors.

I think i subconsciously knew that :?

[Latency]

"Great find", wait- you mean to say people didn't actually know this? Geez, I'm sincerely shocked...

[Imploding Whale]

Nice find. I got to try this out next time I'm online.

[iChuck N0rr1s]

Bump

Hmmm. Now that you ponted it out they will fix it....

[iChuck N0rr1s]

I don't think so. It's a pretty legitimate technique.

[Fx Stryker]

nice tip..

[U N E 4 K]

Ill give this a try.

[Your Devastator]

nice find.....i've notice something, but never tried to put it into words. Excellent job

[Dan2102]

I just tried this in a private match and yeah it works but why would you want to do it? Hipfiring is has less spread.

Shoot at a wall without aiming, smaller bullet spread. Shoot at it after tapping RT and LT and it's bigger.

I would think that if you are right up in your enemy's face a bigger spread would be better. Less chance of missing?

[iChuck N0rr1s]

Bump. Old thread but maybe some people didn't get to see it. I like to help y'all out ya know :D

It's weird I saw this post today. I was actually screwing around on Local today to see if I can figure out how the blindfiring in Gears 2 works, and you're right, you NEED to be 'ready'. I think I saved myself a lot of future frustration with the Gnasher, and I figured out how to blindfire the Lonshot. Nice thread man!

It's weird that I randomly decided to bump it too lol.

[Dakota 21 47]

huh.... i just went to private to check it out and no matter how "ready" i was there was still a delay before the spread would be closer...

Before the spread would be closer? I don't get what you're saying, but in any case you are probably doing it wrong. Make sure your character is pointing his gun forward by aiming or firing off one shot, then you can quick aim shoot without getting the delay.

when you blindfire the spread is spread out more, when you aim its closer together, and yes i stood still aimed, released aim, which made the gun point straight and it still didn't work

[Your Devastator]

its a pain in the ass. we shouldnt have to do that.

[iChuck N0rr1s]

Oh ok. Yes it does spread out more but if your saying your gun is pointing straight and you still get a delay when you press RT+LT together then you are doing something wrong. It works, trust me. Keep trying.

And Devy, yes it is a pain and yes I agree we shouldn't have to go through the trouble.

[Armandhammer_12]

Yea i knew about this, I don't like how you have to pre-shoot to get into a ready position though. I thought you can actually pop shot with the sniper when your in this stupid ready position but you can't, it is still random, i think...if someone can confirm...maybe a vid? :P

[Armandhammer_12]

Yuppers :cool:

Only works with the shotgun in my experience. Blindfiring and pop shotting with the sniper are lost causes now :(

Yea they get rid of the bad ass "pop shot" glitch with the sniper...but your still allowed to glitch through the doors on Pavilion with the Boom shield...hmm :mad: I lost a little bit of respect for Epic today, to be honest.

[sucka like die]

you only discovered this cuz you are chuck norris


Talking to Chuck Norris can kill you (http://www.mypartypost.com/watchvideo/260/Conan_OBrien-_Walker_Texas_Ranger)

Nice. Shotgun has too many issues for me to use.

[aKa BFeLLa]

This is known already by skilled players.

[Dakota 21 47]

still doesn't work

[iChuck N0rr1s]

^ Yes it does. I'm sorry but I can't explain how to do it any further. The rest is up to you.

p.s. I literally have the controller in my hand doing it right now. You're missing something.

[Teinz]

Nice Chucky... I'll be whipping the Gnasher out more often...

[KENKRANK]

damn...the secret is out...
