F*** Lancers (A PLEA TO EPIC)

[runroy]

I have played gears for years now and absolutely loved it. ive learnt how to wall bounce and effectively use a shotgun and i believe im an averagely good player... but these lancers are now far far too powerful. the retro lancer is completely rediculous... with basically no kickback as promised so people can lancer you down from great distances... an active retro lancer takes 4 bullets to down you.... 4!!! that is absolute bull. and the regular has pretty much an unlimted amount of ammo in a clip and is stupidly strong at range making the game (for a classic gears player, mostly favoring the shotgun) pretty much unplayable... Im begging you... Begging You.. please... to do something about the lancers in this game.. they are far far too powerful. it makes a mockery of any skill needed to get a kill in this game and its horrible. i feel this is an issue that a lot of gamers feel and need to be sortred..

Too damn bad. We rifle users have been overlooked since Gears 1 and it's about time the lancer actually gets some useage.

They won't change it. Its a money spinning baby gears of war, as long as it brings in the casuals with the cash who cares right?

It's not it's usage thats the problem. It's the situations it gets used in. i.e All the time.

in a close quarters combat game a shotgun should be the main weapon. Why should epic change the whole framework of their franchise , that has been so successful in the past.

It is not a CQC game, it was how it was initially played due to the poor weapon balancing and latency. This has been changed and on release Gears 3 was an amazing third-person, tactical, cover shooter. It had baffled imagination with how amazingly well it had changed and evolved. It is like the first time you see Magikarp evolve into Gyrados. From something so small to a beast.
