Would you prefer to Lessen the Bullets of Sniper to 5 but bring back ACtive down?

[GEARS305]

Just a question ???????

or leave it the same

[RockChucker]

NO ACTIVE DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leave the damage at the tactical level, and improve the head hit box detection.

[CarmineHeadshotzzz]

active down was the worst thing in gears 1

[gnxROUGE]

That means the sniper can down everyone in the match without getting new ammo.

If you're a true sniper, you would aim for the head.

[jerrycomo]

That means the sniper can down everyone in the match without getting new ammo.

If you're a true sniper, you would aim for the head.

But a real-life sniper always hit for the chest area.

[AVTR3]

No.


No.


Just no...

[Vevion]

You know, having the active downs wouldn't be so bad in Gears 2. In Gears 1, you couldn't crawl anywhere--you were a sitting duck. But in Gears 2, you can crawl, and it wouldn't be so bad.


That, and the headshot in this game is so bad that the weapon right isn't worth picking up.

[gnxROUGE]

But a real-life sniper always hit for the chest area.
Then be different. I mean Gears is, why can't you?

[RockChucker]

But a real-life sniper always hit for the chest area.

Depends upon the situation, military snipers aim for chest area, but police snipers dealing with hostage situations will aim for cranial / ocular region.

[Moonbase0ne]

No.


No.


Just no...

Agreed....

[II-Nitrocity-II]

no active down was terrible that's why its not in gears 2 and never will be...

[GizmoSWE]

No 5 bullet
No active downs -.-

Pick one of these sniper related statments and choose which one of these that need to be changed..
The sniper was good as it was 11 bullets, no active downs, shots never register

[CrazyZebu]

Maybe give the sniper more bullets than it originally had, considering it doesn't work most of the time.

[Dogface]

But a real-life sniper always hit for the chest area.

Wait, did you just compare Gears with real life? Oh my lord...

[sprunky]

5 bullets and bigger headshot hitbox yes, active down, NO WAY.

[Gnasher.]

no way that would not be good

[ghoto]

Just a question ???????

or leave it the sameI would burn this game with kerosene.

[Black Winging]

Active downs were for/ are for people who think they can snipe yet never get head shots. No active downs.

[Cripplur]

Just a question ???????

or leave it the same

No way in HELL bring back active down.

[Roflbawlz]

^this right here.

[Dogface]

The weapon isn't that bad, though. If you use it zoomed out, then it's fine. I find staying zoomed out better.

[Danjeras]

No. Active downs were possibly the cheapest tactic to ever feature in a video game.

[Silver Hair]

Active down is so g a y

[G E A R S III]

Yes, I would love to see some sort of active advantage for the Longshot.

[Surf by Shootin]

Maybe give the sniper more bullets than it originally had, considering it doesn't work most of the time.
:) agreed, fair = 13/14 shots

[WOBBLER]

How about an active to the nuts drops you.

[Necrohands]

How about an active to the nuts drops you.

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I Lol'd.

[Choco Taco]

Active downs were worse than GoW 1 shotty, and that's saying something.

[SpasmaticMidget]

A plague upon your house.

[WOBBLER]

I'm going to start a petition for the active sniper testi drop shot.

[Gorgonzola]

Active Downing was probably one of the stupidest ideas I have ever seen in any game, right up there with concussion grenades.

The only people that would want this are people that can't snipe, or people that thought they were good by getting headshots on a downed opponent or when someone was getting back up.

[JP SAKURA]

if they bring active downs to gears2, im out before it even becomes a rumor..

[BATMAN]

It would suck...especially with the bleed out time.

[Ghostofdelta2]

Active downs wouldn't be as bad with the crawling, as someone mentioned. Plus with less bullets, it means they can do it less.

[xWickedx]

Then your not that good with the sniper kid..I have no problem hitting head shots.

[Phoenix27Kira]

what about... if active sniper bullet goes through the players, making possible to get double headshots with one shot, like torque. no active down, it might tone up the sniper power, but no turning it OP, also 11 bullets are enough, 6 are really few

[Dormiglione]

Bring back active down on the sniper.

[Choco Taco]

11 is way too many.

[TAO Devil]

nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[< Profess >]

Just a question ???????

or leave it the same
The Longshot could have just 1 bullet that could instant down and people would still complain.

Balance wise though, there's nothing wrong with what you're suggesting.

[Chewbacca]

No active down, but the bullet should pass through just like the Torque does....meaning double head shots are possible.

[RockChucker]

No active Downs!!!!!!!!!!! That was one of the worst features of GOW1.

The head hit box detection should be fixed. Damage should be upped too, because it seems to do only a little more then the Boltek, which is silly. Bullet pass through and possibility of damaging multiple targets is great.

[aHughez]

I hate the Active down in Gears 1.


All people play is Gridlock, Annex with Snipers. Awful

[DenyThisFlesh]

I definitely don't want the active downs to return, but the longshot needs a boost of some kind to make it more balanced with the torque bow. Headshots passing through and hitting other players and making double headshots possible would be a nice change.

[Z3RO]

The sniper isn't really a power weapon because you can only kill people by shooting at their head. It would be pretty cool if it could rip off limbs and such, but I don't think that would fit in well with the game.

[MrWinkles]

active down way 2 anoying

[< Profess >]

Cover-piercing would be cool, just give it a big negative modifier to the damage so you have to hit the dome through the wall to kill.

(Like -75% damage through a wall, remembering the 300% boost to that for headshots)

That would be a great idea too. You're just full of good ideas man.

[boltokPwnage]

There are a lot of great ideas, bringing back active downs just isn't one of them.

This is what me and my brother played all the time in Gears 1. Neither of us EVER got active reloads though. I never understood why people deliberatly got actives to kill people. I honestly can't think of a more boring way to get a kill.

[w|a|d|e]

active down was the worst thing in gears 1

QFT
10no's!

[Gorgonzola]

I play that a lot too but as soon as I see people active downing or if they do it to me, I just leave and find another room. I do get the faster reload, but never the perfect active.

[Vevion]

Then your not that good with the sniper kid..I have no problem hitting head shots.


Wow, you did not just say that.

[Wayfer Guy]

More ammo and same damage.

[sewnback2gether]

Active down was stupid, and should stay out of Gears.

[Toddster420]

two words- "HELL NO!!"

[Maester of War]

Nope, never. Just give it 10 bullets so I can pop heads. 6 is way too little.
