"Gnashers Only" lol more like my Snub only

[bleeding pepper]

I used to think I was terrible at the Gnasher. After several consecutive good games today, I'm pleased to say I seem to have gotten better. I think alot of it is psychological - I noticed when playing this play list that I felt a lot more liberated and gung-ho because I was forced into close-range combat, whereas usually when using rifles (I'm a self-confessed rifle whore) I'm more cautious and defensive in my approach and tend to hang back and rely on mid-long range combat.

Jumped in too a game yesterday where players had died and it was 2bots v 2bots, they had used all their ammo so were beating each other up, well we thought it would be quicker than it was, just aimlessly walking around the map with snubs aiming and walkin away from enemies.

Didn't end till 20minutes, still funny.

Raven Down 24/7 was the ABSOLUTE worst with bots if you died. They'd sp*nk all their Gnasher ammo from across the map firing at cover, then they'd miss with the Golden Snub if they hadn't already fired it. Finally it would descend into a game of Peek-a-boo with their now-empty Snubs and maybe a finale of melee once, run away, rinse and repeat til time runs out. Exasperating!

[Bizkitdoh]

Meh, I rush with Gnasher. Works fine for me. Lol.

[Rainbow Dash]

Event is fine as it is EPIC didn't mess up

[CGOWAddict]

All them snub bullets with players with modded controllers. Crap game mode

Truly painful to watch I agree.
They emptied all the shells in the shotgun, and ALL 84 snub shots, painful, so so painful.
They should kill the bots off at that point or something.

Another event based on the Gnasher, Epic has a lot of great, And original ideas.

It's more relaxing and easy to play purely rifle based, but the Gnasher CQC aspect of GOW, is what really get's the blood pumping lol! Using both relatively equally would keep things fresh. Unfortunately Their is very little reason to use a Gnasher in GOW 3. Whereas in 1/2 it was YOUR go-to weapon of choice. (Personally i thought the rifles were great in Gow 2) if you had the skill to back it up.

EPIC should rename the description on gnasher guardian.
"Gnashers only, with snub pistols."

[LEGI0N47]

You should know already that Gnasher events are full of pistol pros.

My thoughts exactly. No surprise here.

[Whiteboy Gnash]

Event is fine. Active and hard aim Gnasher > Snub.

why do you hate me and never invite me any more Ed :x

[HalfShell]

This is a terrible mode and never should be seen again.

[upsmadman]

Let kids use their pistol. Although not a good choice against active gnasher lol

[OwN Reflex]

I wanna play against the guys upsman plays with or against

[OwN Reflex]

My active snub Vs anyone besides a foreign hosts active gnasher at semi/medium range :-) but close range my snub gets snubbed by that gnasher 60-70% of the time lol

[iGoDz II DraGon]

I:

The players choose how to play it.

Not EPIC.

Epic set the board.

Hence adding the Snubby.

The leader needs to defend himself bro

Agree completely, my heart races when I go into CQC! Its such a rush especially when there's rifle fire involved as well, I love it!

[Riiiicky]

Why can't they just keep the Snub but just add one shot (no headshot ability, obviously) like they did in Raven Down 24/7?

I experienced the exact opposite feeling, but then I guess we're coming from opposite angles. I've never been much of a Gnasher user even in GOW2 so for me rifles are my default weapon. In my view, the Gnasher is still a very effective weapon and widely used by payers in GOW3 - I've just never been good at using it, so I play to my strengths and never bothered to practice with it unless I absolutely had to (ie: if I'm out of rifle ammo).

I think when you play standard playlists with all weapons you have more to think about - there's more to think about in terms of the enemy tactics, fields of fire, choke-points etc. With Gnasher-only playlists the game is simpler because your options are reduced to CQC - plus there's no power weapon pick-ups in this particular playlist. I found it liberating, but that's just me and it gave me an opportunity to play with Gnashers in a more relaxed context which I enjoyed. I may have fluked my series of decent games of course, but hey-ho! Maybe I'll revisit the Gnasher in standard playlists and see.

[Valeum]

Gnashers only should mean Gnashers only. If the meatshield needs a weapon, use a 0 ammo'd snub. If not possible, then put 1 shot in it that does normal damage, not the one-shot kill pistol crap.
