Now I tried the alternate control scheme!

[He Bridish]

All I done was play Act I of Campaign of Casual and I was basically done. Pretty much got the hang of the Alt. Scheme in 45 minutes. I suggest anyone who wallbounces often and uses default does this so you can be a better wallbouncer. :)

After that I went on QM KoTH using the Alt. Scheme and done pretty well. Oh, how great it is to wallbounce without rolling. :)

[ValeraPitiesDaFool]

I haven't tried the Alt Scheme yet... So I might try this.. :)

But I wallbounce pretty good now due to the sensitivity settings I have. :]

You should be able to bounce faster with the Alt. Without worrying about rolling. :)

Yea haha. Thanks for the Advice. :)

The only problem I have with the Alt. scheme is worrying about forgetting how the x and y button are switched. :P

[Maaaaaz]

I'm still **** even with it lol. Helps though.

So you have never even tried it?

Nooope, never tried it. :3

I started on Gears 2 in 2008 but have also played a bit of GoW1. It's about 4 years of the default scheme but doing what I said in the OP has helped me get used to it in a matter of hours. :)

[He Bridish]

Nooope, never tried it. :3

Spare 1 hour doing Act I Campaign on Casual with the Alt. Scheme. You have to try it. Do you wallbounce often? :)

[Phlegethon]

I tried it but didn't like it too much.
I only really using wall bouncing to escape. I feel it was more beneficial to wall bounce on Gears 2.

I've been getting lazy regarding Shotgun battles now. Starting using my HB from all ranges because I can't be bothered. Doesn't help the 'you've got a mod!' messages.

Kind of. Depends on the Situation.. It helped me on Drydocks, going up to the longshot spawn, the one with the tractor thing there. Someone was camping behind it and I wallbounced up and it totally confused them. :]

[PS3 FTW!]

But I wallbounce pretty good now due to the sensitivity settings I have. :]it doesnt matter how fast u can look at the next wall bounce on.the good wallbouncers like me can wallbounce while keeping aimed in the center of the screen.u lose accuracy when u keep looking from left to right.u have to mix it up with strafing in order to not be predictable.

[TheEnvironment]

I just want EPIC to change the way we swap weapons.
I hate rolling forward. :mad:

I still like the Alt control scheme.

I was doing something like that on Hotel, at the small block by the Boltok. Someone was on the other side with right hand advantage, so I decided to give up. I started bouncing left and right on the block, they ran up to me, missed because I was bouncing so fast and I got the gib!

If I was using default, I would of rolled and just died. :D

You make a good point, but sometimes looking left and right can help, such as when you are bouncing from areas of cover which are further apart. :)

[TheEnvironment]

You have to aim, then press X to swap weapons with a teammate.

Oh yeah. I hate that because bots move so wierdly. :mad:

[ImNOtGOOD]

i switch every now and then, but im more comfortable with the default scheme.

It's likely to be like that if you use default for that long. ;)

yea ive been using default since gow 1. as a matter of fact, ill try alternate again when i get online today.

Do what I said in the OP. If you just try it online you will have a hard time. ;)

i will.
im getting tired of face planting into the wall during a 1v1 anyways lol.

[Asphyx1ateD]

I played a couple of hours of Horde to get used to it, personally. The first time I tried it was in VS and it was too hard, so I gave up. After trying it in Horde a few weeks later, then going to VS with that experience, I liked it a lot more. The occasional mistake was still made but I'm a few weeks into it now and I love it.

I say this constantly, but my only problem is getting "Stranded" with it (what I like to call it), where you're not near enough any cover (though you think you are), you mash A to slide and you just stand still and get mowed down. Usually I'm not quick enough to switch to a roll when this happens to avoid death, lol. Sometimes you're sure you're near enough to slide, but you aren't. I swear that the slide distances are lower in Alt...

My movement and general Gnasher play are a lot better since switching, though.

[He Bridish]

Yeah. I'll show you a vid of what you could be like if you used the Alt. Scheme. Sorry if you have already seen it. ;)

This is what I thought at first. But still, standing there doing nothing may cause the enemy to miss because they don't expect it. I think most people are used to killing people who roll. ;)

Dude, im a Veteran ALT. Scheme user and Wall bouncing is a Joke now in the retail version of Gears 3, it wasnt a problem in the BETA or GEARS 2, just wait and you will see. You have to press A multiple times to slide into cover and alot of times you will end up dying because of it.

I do 2 short bounces between each Gnasher shot. I don't really have any problems with it. :)

Just watch it again and think of the amount of times he would of failed if he had the default scheme. ;)

[bluegreenman]

Honestly i very rarely roll into walls when wallbouncing.

I love being able to bounce as fast as I can without worrying about wallbouncing.

[R0gueSc0peZz]

I've tried this a couple times and enjoyed if for the most part. i just have problems bouncing from wall to wall... not sure why. if you could it would be nice to see a vid tutorial or something.

I do have issues with this, I tap A sometimes because I bounce faster so it's not that bad! :D

But isn't canceling out of a wall bounce then entering into another one weird?! i haven't gotten that down yet. Im a strict default wall bouncer but would love to be able to utilize this type of gameplay.

It's not that hard for me. :) I always cancel it, getting out of cover when directly on a wall makes wallbouncing slower for me. :)

[Whitewidow408]

The only things keeping me from switching to alternate is that the distance you can take cover is shorter than on default and you have to press A twice since it only takes cover 75% of the time.

The bounce range is the same for both.

[Coleyman]

I prefer having all of my movement on as few buttons as possible, so I prefer doing everything with A.

Yeah, but I hate rolling when bouncing. It always gets me killed! It feels more consistent on alternate. :)

[82PeRK]

mUST be nice not having to press A 2,3 and sometime 4 times just to slide into cover, let alone wall bouncing. EPIC has ruined this game and all they keep on doing with these Stupid Title Updates is mess it up even more. Gears is the only game i play for MP and now im back to where im not in the mood to play any more because i dont know how much B.SHt Im going to go through that session. A few month ago , i went from playing everyday to playing maybe once a week if that. Then about 3 weeks ago, i finally adapted or should i say i finally said screw it and deal with it and started playing every night.

And for the last 3 weeks, i actually have been playing every night for atleast 2 1/2 hrs a session, but since the TU4, There is more B.S that i just dont feel like ADAPTING TO or Deal with and now im back to NO MOTIVATION TO PLAY ANYMORE. Since the Update, i have played twice, the first day (tuesday , day of the TU) , i only played for less than an hr because of utter randomness and nades not picking up (even though it says i picked them up but i ended up picking up the smokes from an earlier player when they got the original nades), then i played last night for about 3 hrs. But today, i just couldnt get myself to play, its just b.s after more b.s. It is really demoralizing , it really is.


If i ever won the MEGA MILLIONS, i swear i would make a company and bite the hell out of Epic but the game would actually work. It really wouldn't be stealing because this game was bitten off of PREDATOR. ( Big Guns, Big buff guys and an Alien that looks alot like the Locust, can any one say SKORGE)

EPIC ,IM BEGGING YOU, FIX THIS GAME OR ATLEAST STOP TRYING TO FIX THIS GAME WITH UPDATES THAT ARENT DOING JACK AND ARE ONLY MAKING IT WORSE. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY.

It is very nice not to roll! I switched about a month and a half ago. I feel like im skating on ice.

I agree, it is more consistent than the default scheme. :)
