Two freaking problems!

[manofwar]

First: Sniper's sound in gears 2. It sounds like when you shoot a piece of cream out of a toothpaste. I mean the shot sounds weak. Sniper's sound in gears 1 is much better (Agree?).

Second: Weapon sliding. I think it is epic's purpose (not a glitch) because weapon sliding helps you avoid receiving bullcrab headshot. It takes you a little while to pick a gun up, so you have to stay at a same spot for a few second; and during that time, you become a perfect target for head-thirsty snipers, weapon sliding is the best choice to avoid those marskmans. (any idea).

[Mr Ree]

I see the point you're trying to make with Problem 1, but i'm afraid I don't understand Problem 2. It may be just me - but could you try re-wording Problem 2, please?

On topic - I personally think the sniper could sound better, but I got sick and tired very fast of the old sniper sound - so any new sound is an improvement

[LordTenacious]

All the guns sound more realistic in Gears 2 than gears 1. Most of the guns in Gears 1, including the sniper, sound like the toy guns at Toys-R-Us in my opinion.

First off are you kidding me the sniper in gears 2 sounds way more like a sniper and not just a single shot rifle if anything it sounds more powerful.

Secondly the weapon slide glitch is a problem in the engine and can be fixed with future patches also now it only takes you like 3 feet away from the gun.

[Zeronos]

*facepalm*

[KhAoZx]

first...the sniper sounds alot better in gow 2...

2nd..weapon slide is a nuisance and if MLG diddnt allow it...most good players wouldnt use it...weapon slide takes away the whole purpose of out maneuvering and outsmarting the other team to obtain power weapons

[jurnag12]

dude it doesnt need to sound powerfull, it gotta be powerfull.
do you want a gun to sound like it takes someones head off and doesnt hurt a pice of hard sand, or something that sounds like sh*t put takes his head clean of his shoulders?

[Mr Ree]

Oh, I understand Problem 2 now. You really do need to work on your wording though

On topic then - No. Removing weapon sliding is not a problem; it's a relief. If a player has the time to acquire a sniper and stand there watching you, waiting for you to pick up a weapon so he can pop your little head off - you and your team are a bunch of failures.

'Nuff said.

IT isn't powerful anymore. An Active cant down anyone anymore.

[Drtydzn12]

Epic didn't want weapon sliding. I remember hearing this before, someone else posted about it too, but basically they want it to be where if you want to get the reward, you need to take the risk.

If you feel that your head is gonna be popped off when you go pick up a weapon, don't pick it up yet. Simple as that. Play smart, and wait till your clear to pick it up.

[Mr Ree]

IT isn't powerful anymore. An Active cant down anyone anymore.

And for good reason, thank the lord Christ.

A 'sniper' is an individual who demonstrates accuracy and timing skills by hitting the mark with a single-shot gun and scoring a lethal shot everytime.

If your mark is the enemy's arm then pass the bloody gun here.

[KhAoZx]

People keep saying that weapon slide was supposed to be taken out as said ie. EPIC Games...but to tell the truth every update we et the old slide is removed and a new one is found...i think its more like a easter egg in MP that they leave for people to find than anything else

weapons sliding wasnt put there on purpose...would be in the manual...probably under advanced manuevers or something. Cliff once said, not verbatim, its a risk and reward when retrieving a power weapon. Meaning if you want to pick up a torque and a sniper just happens to be waiting. As you picked the torque and placed it into your sweaty palms the last thing you see is your red brain matter....well thats the risk you took for a reward you wanted.

Ah! An easter egg which causes constant hassle, complaints and negative feedback about Epic and their game! What a brilliant idea!

-.-

Thats funny

[LocustQueen]

I'm tired of you making hate threads. I can see your point on how Epic should have fixed weapon sliding but suck it up.

I just think that they fix the problem and test it. but they test it within the facility and the connection is so quick that they cant get it to work. But when you have people playing across a continent, the bandwith is different allowing people to find such glitches.

Thats MHO but then also i could probably have no idea what im talking about.

[KhAoZx]

Im just saying....if Epic really wanted to remove weapon slide they woulda done it...not that hard really(i take a advanced computer programming class and i create low budget-ish video games so i know to a certain extent about things like this)...i dont think EPIC really cares about weapon slide, i doubt they wil do anything about it(i wish they would) but i dont know if they will...if they leave it than so be it..prepare for the weapon slide

AMEN I only play execution....so the "snipers" that get their two downs and a kill by actives are weak sauce....also with the active not putting them straight back down is good...heres a hint aim where his eyes are

no offense dude you aren't running an engine that probably has several tens of thousands lines of code in it alone...with that engine im sure they've tried to fix it...im sure this has happened to them...HOORAY we fixed the weapon slide...$hit we created 100 errors during run time sweet...eh i just know that people that have to weapon slide don't have any skill for this game go back to halo where you can do three backflips and have steady aim the whole time

[Andrew Fenix]

First: Sniper's sound in gears 2. It sounds like when you shoot a piece of cream out of a toothpaste.

Are you serious? No it doesn't. It sounds like a laser.

You might need hearing aids.

[DiscombobulatedThi]

It takes you a little while to pick a gun up, so you have to stay at a same spot for a few second; and during that time, you become a perfect target for head-thirsty snipers, weapon sliding is the best choice to avoid those marskmans. (any idea).

Why did Epic try to remove weapon slide in their gears1 patch if it was intentional?
Do you people also allow off-mapping or chainsaw glitching as well? What gives you the right to pick and choose which glitch should or should not be allowed? It's either all glitches allowed or none. Anything else and you're just playing favorites for what suits you more.

Frankly, your logic is twisted. Instead of having a powerweapon people have to fight over, you are giving it to the team that glitches. You make it sound like it's a bad thing that people can make it so that you don't recieve power weapons... Did you lose your head too many-a-times to sniper fire while picking up a weapon? Since your goal is purely to win by any means necessary, I can apply the same logic to myself. I'll just have one guy always stay off map so that at worst we always draw or win a game.

Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm not with it. I'm just like you who are really upset about glitching. My point is why they don't fix it completely.

[DiscombobulatedThi]

Ah my bad. I'm used to arguing against those who support glitching so I usually go all out against em. I'm sure Epic will patch it up, albeit slowly, like they did in gears 1 (and then people will find even more ways to glitch...)

I know, gears 1 and 2 are great, but glitches are only problems that bring them down (not entirely down) but enough to upset some people.

[II Tom 1993 II]

I see what you mean by the new sniper sound... Because it doesn't sound as loud or powerfully but then it sounds more silent like an assassin...

And the other thing just play it realisticly and wait to no ones around

There's a big difference between little homebrew video games that you make in a few months and a full-title, mainstream release that takes 2 to 3 years.

You have absolutely no idea how many different functions and/or classes come into play when a player does the weaponslide glitch... There could be thousands upon thousands of lines of code that would all have to be painstakingly checked and changed to fix it, something that would take far too long.

This is likely why it keeps resurfacing... They find a quick and dirty way to fix it temporarily, but with enough fooling around the same old loophole can still be accessed, because the main problem was never actually fixed.

Granted, if they performed better coding practices and never hardcoded, having to check and change many thousands of lines of code could've been avoided... However, making your code 100% kluge-free is quite nearly impossible with the timeframe they are budgeted to complete a game title.

[manofwar]

IT still sounds weak.

[Mr Ree]

From what i've seen of Gears 2 gameplay - the game itself seems to require a more tactful approach to general combat; no more shotgun whores dictating the flow of battle. Applying this same concept to weapon pick-ups: players should and will be more cautious as the likelihood of snipers and players wielding other damaging long-range weaponry is much higher than the close-range orientated threat that was so apparent in Gears 1.

[AftComet]

first...the sniper sounds alot better in gow 2...

2nd..weapon slide is a nuisance and if MLG diddnt allow it...most good players wouldnt use it...weapon slide takes away the whole purpose of out maneuvering and outsmarting the other team to obtain power weapons

Exactly, I have no idea why EPIC didn't fix this.

[monkeyrfc1690]

i know gears 1 sniper sounds more powerful

[xH iSkillz]

IT isn't powerful anymore. An Active cant down anyone anymore.

And rightly so, active reload downs with the sniper sucked

[I KORRUP7ED I]

First of all. Problem 1, I can't comment yet. WHERE CAN I COMPARE THE 2 AT?

Weapon sliding is good.

[Mac xL]

The new sniper sounds awesome.

[General Anubis]

Weapon sliding is good.

You, sir, fail.

[Mac xL]

weapon sliding sucks.

[Mr Ree]

You, sir, fail.

Lmao. It really can't be any simpler than that.

[manofwar]

Anyway, They should fix weapon sliding

[robmasta13]

Sniper sounds awsome.

AND how is that a problem?

IT IS JUST adio.

So chill out.
