Torque Bow question to EPIC

[soda]

We all know that the torque bow is a detonated bow and arrow weapon,
so my question is will you/or your AI friends be able to pull out the arrow before it is detonated?

and what happens if the arrow gets stuck in you and then the person that shot it killed, what happens to the arrow, will it explode, will it dissapear, or will it stay stuck in you?

Also will you be able to use the torgue bow to blow up soft cover?

And how many Bolts will it be carry.

Well there are my questions,
EPIC if you can please answer them, if not i know your busy,
also if anyone does know the answers feel free to post it

i dont like the idea of a crossbow in gears. it dosnt fit.

[FortuneWookie]

the torque bow sounds sick, how can u say that?

[soda]

i dont like the idea of a crossbow in gears. it dosnt fit.

it fits in perfectly,
becasue the Locusts aren't as advanced as teh COGs so it makes sense that they would still be using that old kind of weaponary

thats like saying Japan isnt as advanced as us militaraly so they would be using samurai bows

The locust have rifles. a crossbow is stupid

[HyperTitan]

It's not just a crossbow man. It's like a grenade on a stick. I can shoot that thing across the battlefield stick it in your friend and kill him, then when you come to revive him I can detonate that sucker and kill you. It's not just a "crossbow". It has a little more of a kick than that

Yes but the locusts seem to be less advanced and more brutal then the COGs,
and a Bow seems to fit the locusts perfectly

again for soda

[soda]

again for soda

just becasue they have rifled doesn't mean they can't use bows,
they may not be able to make enough guns so they may have to use bows,
Clancy just casue you don't like the idea of bows doesn't mean its a bad idea

[Slicer]

Sound like the bow in Rambo when he blow up a soldier

[Mel]

It's funny because it was almost exactly like that until around 1853 when the U.S. Navy showed up off the coast of Japan.

Just think of it as a light weight easier to use mortar.

Woah what. You need to learn something about the Japanese. By the way, they are not all ninjas over there.

[soda]

Woah what. You need to learn something about the Japanese. By the way, they are not all ninjas over there.

how funny would it be if they were though,
you get an a plane to japan , then you walk down the street and get road rage and everyone on the street just backflips next to you pulls out a sword and holds it an inch away from your face.lol

[clancy the sock]

Woah what. You need to learn something about the Japanese. By the way, they are not all ninjas over there.

what??????????? Did you really think i meant that the japanese use bows in their military now?

please, for the love of god tell me you werent serious.

how old are you?

okay man even if they use rifles how come they aren't using tanks, gunships and what not..

[clancy the sock]

maybe because every soldier is not issued thier own tank you dumbass.

tell me you were just kidding. if not, your i.q cant be higher than the room temperature. sorry to be mean, but this kind of idiocy is just outrageous.

[clancy the sock]

if its not fired out of a barrel with powder then its a cross or long bow.

[MooseKnuckles]

Clancy, come on, the Torque Bow kicks ass. Cliffy has said its is fave weapon, so its gotta be good And I think it does fit the "feel" of the Locust, brutal, and very effective.

[rEDChief55]

i cant wait till i get a long distance kill with that thing

[soda]

i cant wait till i get a long distance kill with that thing

hmm,
will the torque bow be the locust sniper equivilant?

[IMTHEONEKILLINU]

Hey Chewbacca used a crossbow ya bast**ds and he was so advanced, his a** lived in space! LOL.

[clancy the sock]

just saying if your going to make a shooting(or "Stop and Pop") then keep it in that. no bows.

[JohnWayne360]

just saying if your going to make a shooting(or "Stop and Pop") then keep it in that. no bows.

I remember playing Splinter Cell-Chaos Theory, and the knife was way more satisfying than the gun. The bow gives the game that rugged feel to it. Primitive and raw. You dont think a bow is effective at all? If you were stuck with it you wouldn't know the difference. Why do huntsmen use bows to kill deers when they have scoped rifles big enough to kill elephants? Because it's more challenging, fun, and in a way, it activates that primitive instinct we all have. It's a man thing, you should be able to understand. But if it makes you happy, I'll go ahead and ask Cliffy to take out of the game, he'll understand. Go ahead and ask your mom to rent Rambo for you, that's a hint, you'll see.

we still use knives(especially SF) so i can understand that. You wouldnt go using a bow in war because "its more challenging" lol.

plus i get waaaay more satisfaction out of shooting a real gun.

[Atlas]

I frikin love the T-Bow. I have my own at home and I can see how it would fit, good range (not as great as a gun) and very painful with the right arrow (my bro shot me in the toe with a blunt one...ask Soda)

But with a bomb on the end....YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UnDeRøAtH]

Kind of like the Crossbow in Half Life 2 that shoots metal rods into people. THAT was an awesome weapon. Whenever I'd find ammo for that I'd use it just so I could stick people into the walls, lol.

I think the Torque Bow is going to be awesome. And I do believe some covert forces DO use a bow for stealth. It is quiet, if you can kill someone with one hit instantly (which, btw, IS possible). Even though I don't think the Torque bow is going to be quiet. (Its got a frickin granade on the end!)

No they dont.

[Chainsaw Guardian]

No they dont.

Why don't you just stop making pointless posts, arguing, and complaining all the time?

[Chainsaw Guardian]

If you stuck someone with it, what would be the point in taking it out? I'm sure people will detonate the arrow right away. It also takes away the fun of exploding someone. Much like the sticky grenades from Halo.

[jackrubyn]

How could I have missed this Torque Bow thing?
It sounds absolutely amazing!
Is there a video, or even a pic where it's being used?

[clancy the sock]

pointless posts? this is a thread about the torque bow jack@$$.

[TNT]

I agree with clancy on the point that it isn't realistic to have in the game and that it doesn't make sense, but it will be so fun to use i don't think it really matters

[Uday23]

We all know that the torque bow is a self detonated bow and arrow weapon,
so my question is will you/or your AI friends be able to pull out the arrow before it is detonated?

and what happens if the arrow gets stuck in you and then the person that shot it killed, what happens to the arrow, will it explode, will it dissapear, or will it stay stuck in you?

Also will you be able to use the torgue bow to blow up soft cover?

Well there are my questions,
EPIC if you can please answer them, if not i know your busy,
also if anyone does know the answers feel free to post it

i think if the person who shot u with it dies before detonating it then it just dissapears, i dont think u can pull it out(its like a sticky nade from halo), and i do think the t-bow can blow up soft cover, just my thoughts

[UnDeRøAtH]

Clancy. Please. STFU.

I'm beginning to think you don't know a lot, and you like arguing. Please, don't turn this forum around. I've enjoyed it so far because of the lack of arguments, don't ruin it for us.

[clancy the sock]

clancy u haven't been here that long, because i haven' theard many of ur posts, people who have been here alot are uday and zoso

i wasnt comparing myself to zoso and uday. if you would have read the post properly you would have seen that.

[Osman]

when did Epic announce the Torque Bow? and are there any pics of it?

[UnDeRøAtH]

"i dont know alot?" Ive been here longer and have more posts.

If post counts was brains and length of time signed up at a forum was knowledge, then a lot of really stupid people would be in charge.

I wasn't talking about post counts or knowledge of Gears of War, I was talking about COMMON SENSE.

Screw off clancy. You arn't as smart as you think you are.

Who cares if I thought the special forces use bows? I read something about it somewhere. I'm only human. And how do you know they don't?

What's wrong with having different opinions? I for one, don't like the torque bow, but that's only because my preference in weapons is machine guns and grenades. I don't like one shot reloaders. Unless the reload is actually just a pump on a shotgun.
