    Default Stay Frosty

    I think EPIC should give this event another go, it was loved by an audience as well as hated by one, however every other event has made a re-appearance as far as i know apart from this one, it was like hardcore mode for gears which i and a large quantity also loved, you couldn't just charge in willy nilly and expect to dominate.

    even if it's just for a weekend.. let it return.. even if it's tweaked a bit. :/ (probably the only event i miss)

    I did not like it very much but for those who do I would not mind that.

    I'd be up for this event again. I could get my hammerburst onyxed this way and also work on my pistols.

    My favourite event too. Too many of the events revolve around the Gnasher, give the other weapons some love.

    Stay campy ? No thanks. it was cool the first 1-2 days untill people realised that they just had to camp at the spawn and then it was just straight hell.

    If it returns, good for those who like this event. I personally don't like it because it's a campfest.

I know, lets force everyone to only be able to play with Gnashers because thats the majority, so nobody should be at a disadvantage. Screw people's free will. That's an awesome idea dude. Way behind you on that.

    Eh, Stay Frosty turned Gears into just about any other shooter. Bypassing DBNO is a bad idea in my opinion.

    So the Gnasher and Sawed Off should lose their gibbing ability? I'm down with that.

    I mentioned nothing about the Gnasher or Sawed-Off.

    I didn't think that in a topic called "Stay Frosty," I would have to specify that I was talking about Stay Frosty...

    Exactly, but sawed-off and Gnasher bypass the DBNO, basically he's saying just because a rifle can do it during an event--doesn't make it any other shooter.

    Regardless, we're talking about in the context of the event. The mechanics of that specific event (Stay Frosty) take away a lot of what makes Gears "Gears" (Such as DBNO, being able to take more than 4 bullets, not spawning with frags, headshots not instantly killing with pistols/rifles.)

    You still go DBNO off Melee attacks.

    I don't care for it. But that's not to say it doesn't deserve another go. I'm all for supporting it's return

    Stay Frosty, or; 'camp like a tool with your HB and have the least amount of fun Gears has to offer'. To me, Stay Frosty is the epitome of everything that Gears isn't (or rather, shouldn't be).

    Completely agreed. The only reason why I played a few matches in it was because of easy Hammerburst kills for the medal. Boring event, should never return imo.

    I'm cool with you guys saying it's bad and such.. but no need to state that it should NEVER return.. without stating it's your own opinion.

    didn't they just do stay frosty again, a few weeks ago? Personally, I didn't like the event, way too campy. I wouldn't object if it came back, but I feel like we just had this playlist recently.

    Couldn't agree more...

    Gears will always revolve around CQC or more specifically the gnasher... Insult me all you want, but that rifle with the chainsaw (which is my fav rifle) on the front of the cover is only the marquee gun to attract a casual audience. When you play gears more than any other game, the gnasher is what makes it gears. A playlist without the gnasher is, I'll go as far to say, not gears at all (IN MY HONEST OPINION). It's dumbfounding to see people want an all rifle playlist. Honestly, what is the difference between that playlist and cod or halo? And if you love rifles so much, why don't you play an all rifle game?

    Almost similar (or identical) to the "adapt" or "go play gears 1 if you hate x or y."
