Gearheads United

**girl poison** · 07-02-2011, 08:49 AM

You're a Gearhead, and Gears of War is constantly popping in and out of your daily routine. Whether you're a collector of the figurines and memorabilia, or a fan of the books and comics and campaign, a pro-Horde player or a diehard multiplayer fanatic, we all have something in common: love for the Gears of War series! This thread is a place where you can discuss anything related to Gears of War: your favourite character, that cool new Gears of War hoodie you just bought, your K/D spread from the last game you played, even looking for forum members to play with you in matches right now!

This thread is 100% Cher-approved!

Rules

There are a few rules that all members must abide by. Violation of these rules may result in infractions or the permanent banning of your account, left to the moderators' discretion.

o1. First and foremost, all official Epic forum rules apply (naturally), so please familiarize yourself with them: http://forums.epicgames.com/misc.php?do=cfrules

o2. To further emphasize on rule number two of the official Epic forum rules: absolutely no flaming, bashing, racist or hateful messages towards other members, moderators, developers, or the Gears of War games in general. This simple facet has caused the downfall of many other threads and posts that envelop any such messages are NOT welcome and will be reported appropriately. If you need to vent, take it out on your Facebook or Twitter, but these kinds of comments are NOT welcome on the forums.

o3. Please try to stay on topic with every post. A little deviation that captures our "real life image" now and then is fine, but remember why we're all here- to share and discuss topics related to Gears.

o4. If anyone- a developer, a moderator, even another forum member- kindly reminds you to stay on topic or that your post isn't "family friendly" in compliance with the given rules, please do not ignore it.. or take it offensively.. or claim "user moderation" doesn't apply. We are all (hopefully) going to do our best to keep this thread clean, active and alive!

So, what's going on in your Gears world?

Wtf is going on here? Oo Déjà vu?

Wingman atm!!

**girl poison** · 07-02-2011, 08:53 AM

Okay, so everyone knows- there was a late night troll in the Gears of War 3 section last night and his first post was in this thread. I'm pretty sure the mod at the time just went ahead and nuked thread he posted or posted in. Cher said she's going to look into it just to be sure and if that's not what it is I guess I'm in trouble.

I've had about three and a half hours of sleep. We have an electrician coming in an hour to see what it'll cost to upgrade our electrical system.

Yes, except we are (currently) allowed to have this thread. I talked to Cher a little about the Twitter situation and we agreed that there may be some bad habits associated with the Twitter name, which is why it was changed.

Nice job GP

So, i plan on hitting up some more Horde today if i have time. And might venture in some mp later tonight

I definitely want to get in as much time i can with this event goin on.

**Nunchake** · 07-02-2011, 09:37 AM

Need to get in some gears 2 hours this weekend. Played few matches after a long break and I was just horrible.

**sloppybottomz** · 07-02-2011, 11:10 AM

I'm going to jump on some gears 2 but I'll be on my wife's tag, hit me up if anyone wants to play lauren0087

**TAO Devil** · 07-02-2011, 11:12 AM

I'm gonna be getting some GCON in later tonight for a while.

**SQuirrel147** · 07-02-2011, 11:16 AM

Trying to get into Gears 2 for GCON. It's not working so well:/

Looking forward to GCON either way.

**OUTRO** · 07-02-2011, 11:18 AM

Going to make a ridiculous Gears 3 thread, should be hilarious. I just need a few more ideas. Probably won't finish it until after work.

**sloppybottomz** · 07-02-2011, 11:30 AM

What is everyone's fave gametype? Mine is execution but I have really been getting into warzone lately

**Jhooud** · 07-02-2011, 11:37 AM

More Horde for me. I'm not much on the multiplayer, but after the beta I've appeared to learn a few things. Had a great night on King of the Hill.

Execution or Wingman for me.

I wanna play Gears 1 so bad:/ Gonna practice for GCON. I haven't played Gears 2 for over a week now.

I prefer Gears 1. But most of my friends play Gears 2. So that's when I play Gears 2.

3 matches? lol. I don't have a lot. But more then 3 lol.

**xKiLL ZoNEx** · 07-02-2011, 12:23 PM

I like to play annex the most and I like to go back to gears 1 once in a while to play on my favorite maps and to play some campaign. I think I'd rather play gears 2 the most so I can get my wings, but I do enjoy gears 1 a lot.

**SQuirrel147** · 07-02-2011, 12:34 PM

A bot is glitched out of the map.

Not like someone glitched out and quit. The bot spawned outside of the map0.o

EDIT: Nevermind, it's back in the map now, lmao.

**sloppybottomz** · 07-02-2011, 12:39 PM

Lol glitchy ass gears 2, I'm on now if anyone wants to join

I don't see it passing.. hopefully.. they really need to leave video game related topics alone.

That's weird. I hate when people do that in Guardian. The one time it happened on Security, we got the "round never ends" glitch so we played a full 15 minutes and then all had to quit because the game was stuck. ):

Thank God. These are the things in our country that need "fixed" right now. Glad to see we're focusing on things like this.

Just got a new HDD, so I'm saving Gears 2 to it right now. I want to save Gears 1 to it too, but it's so scratch I don't think it will. I didn't scratch it, a friend did.

Talking to my brother, so might not be playing to my full extent for a little.

Annex is better in Gears 1. If you play with Just spawn weapons. Instead of a slur of Inks/Frags.

I had to go, BTW.

I'm going to try to get up with my cousin and one of my friends in California to see if they want to do Horde achievements tonight because neither of them really play Gears of War 2. So if anyone wants to play a couple waves in some random amount of hours from now, either post here on send me a message on XBL. Until then, I'm going to a carnival about 20 minutes from here with my sister and my nephew! <3 Shopping after and I'm heavily considering dyeing my hair red. We'll see.
