    ...for the price of one tonight.

    1) Why do people hate being Marcus for one match when they first join in? Like, REALLY hate him?

    2) I've been playing FoN Stranded for two straight weeks, and I can now name all 25 of the other guys/gals playing this game mode in North America currently. I'm pretty sure there's not more than that. Discuss...

    1) People just don't like Marcus. I don't mind playing as Classic Marcus, but I can't really get myself to like Gears 3 Marcus. Another reason might be because they have to play as him in every campaign, so when they play MP, they wanna play as who they wanna be -- Baird, Onyx Guard, Hoffman etc.

    2) I rarely come across the same people in FoN. However, in Ranked KOTH, I always come across the same three clans everytime.

    I don't have a problem with playing the occasional match as Marcus. I have a problem with playing Horde as Marcus every single time I join a game in progress.

    I don't mind being Marcus for the first match only. What gets me so mad is when I have to be him again in the same Quick Match, even though I never left.
    The only problems that grind my gears in Gears:
    1. Being forced to be Marcus/Drone, especially when I never left the match.
    2. The cover glitch that only happens to the 3 Kantus characters http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/...ntus-LE-glitch
    3. Inconsistent bot names and models: Marcus bot = Anya *? Classic Cole bot = Marcus *?

    This is annoying, but it bothers me more when I'm on the Locust side. I want my SGE!

    1) It's annoying, but that's simply because I <3 Carmine. Gotta represent.

    2) At least you run into people. Stranded is my favorite playlist and I constantly end up with all bots. Then, when someone joins, if they proceed to go negative, they leave. Ditto to all bots again.

    1) I don't mind it for one match as long as it doesn't run long. Also i haven't had it happen in a while but when the game gives you join in progress when you didn't leave is irritating.

    2) I haven't played much FoN playlists but i see a lot of the same people in Ranked Execution if i play during the afternoon.
    Thank you Cher and CrypticAshes for the Savage Kantus code and Cher again for the SGE code!
