So I haven't played Gears 3 in quite some time, so pretty much from launch day what weapon changes were made? I know back then everyone complained about the DBS, did they ever nerf it?

People are overexaggerating the HB "buff." All that changed is that it is more accurate when moving and firing, and the damage doesn't drop off on its shots over distance like with the other weapons, so it is more effective long range.

It isn't broken.

the hammy was not overdone.. all they did was slightly imp. damage at long ranges, which its a long range weapon so that makes sense. it hits just as hard far away as it will up close. they also made it where it doesnt lose accuracy while strafing, which is also good cause it would lose crazy amounts before and if you werent standing still it was almost impossible to use effectively. Hammy = great job on buff. it was useless compared to lancer / retro before.
DBS slight debuff is also good.

Only to uselessness. Oh, and flame grenades kill much faster now and have a bigger kill radius.

Not to come off as rude but if you honestly want to know you are going to have to play it yourself. If you sold your copy rent it from gamefly or somewhere cause if you ask or look around the forum everything is overpowered and cheap.

I love the hammerburst. End of the day for those that hate it is due to the fact they gotta keep hitting fire. I love the gun cos you can beat a Lancer player if you click faster even if they are hitting you first.

Hammerburst all day !!!!!!!!!
