    Default OP Retro Lancer and Sawed-Off.

    Do you think they need to nerf the retro lancer and Sawed-Off? I personally think so. The Sawed-Off is annoying. They just run up to you, shoot, and run away. What's more annoying is when someone uses the Retro Lancer and the Sawed-Off. What do you think?

    Not really, there are few circumstances where its the weapon and not my own stupidity that gets me killed by those weapons.

    The Sawed-off is already an awful gun so nerfing it would be stupid, the range on it is pathetic and if your letting someone get that close to you with a shotgun then you deserve to die. The Retro is pretty OP but if it got nerfed it would be pretty much just a close range lancer so personally I think they should be left alone.

    Sawed-Off is for stealthy players, so watch your back.

    Retro is lolinncaurate, and wielders usually charge in the pit of battle. They can be downed easily I find.

    BY NOW if you still complain about the sawed off you need to get over it or do you forget when it was slightly OP rather than the walking pile if crap it is today
    Retro Lancer Gnasher FTWSOS is fair get over it you need to adaptIf you complain about any gun killing you all the time than your bad because your complaining about other people killing you all the time.

    It's not that the Sawed-Off is OP, it's just annoying that little cowards have to run away because they suck. I think they need to get rid of it all together. Especially when you play whole team that are using it. It ruins the fun. Retro is extremely OP, especially with KOTH when they hide behind cover. They down you instantly. And if you don't have any smoke grenades, it's hard to get to them.

    You think they need to nerf a gun that does practically nothing, unless your not aware that there's a person breathing down your neck?

    And the Retro doesn't need to be nerfed, man. People need to realize that rushing with a Gnasher straight into enemy gunfire will NOT solve your problems. There's a reason there's a cover dynamic to the game, and a reason why there's weapons like the Hammerburst and the Longshot to counter the CQB weapons.

    Then why not nerf the Gnasher? It is cry baby kids that Epic caters to why the SoS is useless. The SoS was fine and did not need a nerf from the beta.

    I feel like the Retro is useless. I rarely kill or get killed with it. I almost see no purpose to use it.

    So once Gears 3 releases, when you use the torque, take a bit of pride in knowing you helped make it better

    The Tactical Nuke has already been nerfed. The Retro Lancer needs to be nerfed only SLIGHTLY though.
    Gears of War 3. It's only flaw is THAT gun. You know what I mean. THAT gun all you CoD kids use because you couldn't use a real man's gun, even after 5 years of practice. YOU and THAT need to GTFO and let us real Gears fans play. kthxbai<3

    If you honestly think that the Sawed-off needs another nerf, you shouldn't ever play Gears again.

    The Retro on the other hand, is very powerful and devastating in the right hands, but not O.P.

    If any gun would need a nerf, it would be the Hammerburst.(not that I'm saying it does)

    So what do you propose we do to these weapons?

    Honestly, compared to what they were in beta / release, they are quite laughable now. Retro is still kind of annoying, but not hard to deal with. Sawed off is an absolute joke now
