Some questions about Guardian...

[CrabSonoshee]

Okay I rarely if ever play MP on Gears just because I hate being constantly on the receiving end of a shotty... I get no fun from being constantly blasted in to bits... If I'm lucky enough to get kills I'm waiting for the hate messages...

But lately I've wanted to get lots of XP to level up quicker (I'm a red 75 but now I seem to be crawling for the last few weeks...) and know Guardian is the best way (a x2 multiplier I understand?), so I have a couple of questions...

-Can I do quickmatch? Or for the best XP do I have to be playing Ranked Guardian?

-Does it matter how many kills I get? Usually I'll be lucky to get 5... I'm not great with the shotty against human players and if I use the sawed off/Retro I imagine I'll be on the receiving end of a lot of stick.

-What is the match bonus like on Guardian (both Quick and Ranked?)

Sorry I come across as a bit of noob, I've never paid attention to any of this stuff on Guardian before, or any of the MP modes, when I last played them...

yes you can do quick but ranked gives more XP
doesent matter how well you do all that matters is are YOU having fun?
never care about what someone has to say about what weapons you use you should embrace the butthurt from others
not entirely sure what the differences are
no need to apologise

Ranked Guardian gives more XP than QM

QM is 2x
Ranked is 2.4X

Use whatever weapon you can get the most kills with. Who cares if it is retro/sawed-off?

Don't forget to two-piece.

Anyways, Ranked gives more exp like everyone said.

Use whatever weapon you like. (I like using the Hamburgerburst because it can does as fast as the retro.)

Ranked gives more xp per match, but quick will get you more matches played and more xp over time.

And if you get tired of the humpers,teabaggers, and haters you can play Insane Horde. Yes you will need at least two friends (and four works better) but you can get about 90,000 xp for 50 waves. And if it's double xp,play even more!

As for Guardian, screw the haters. Play with what works, have fun, and forget the BS.

Do your thing in public. If that's going Retro/SO who cares, if you get hatemail your doing it right! Never let what others say or what you think they'll think effect anything you do, here, on XBL or in General. But as far as it mattering how many kills you get vs. xp, it can but also not so much. Sure the more the merrier, but you also get a consecutive match bonus as well as a win bonus should your team prevail. So you can not do so well compared to others on your team and still rake in lots of Xp

Lol, ata boy Legion. Do what he says everyone likes him, never heard him getting hate mail.

You know it's happened. Though half the time i've gotten it i've been playing with you so...

Don't blame me for people hating you. People hate me, but my team mates are generally sound.

I don't, it's just an interesting coincidence. But yes you do inspire rage in people and usually no one else recieves anything, though there are those guys that blanket the team with a message lol.

Okay see, now no one man can get an entire team raging. We camp and cross with Rifles. They hate the team, just me the most because I rifle in close range, two piece and caress the Boomshot. Whether it be Lancer dancing and chainsawing, or Retro and 2-piecing. But if I was a solo player I would not get as much hate. They hate us all, just me the most. Hence why I am the problem.

I can confirm that he is, in fact, the problem. I'm one of the most docile people on the planet when it comes to 'considered cheap' tactics and trashtalking, and I'm still absolutely despised.



Also, to the OP, as DTF has said, you will earn far more XP playing Quick match than Ranked, since you will be in a continued lobby and playing more matches, and you'll likely be getting a higher score per unit of time anyway. As for weapons, expect and relish the hatemail you might get. It becomes fun to receive after a while.

Thanks for the answers everyone, I'm going to give Guardian a shot later with a person on my friend list and see how it goes.

[SbobRoundPants]

And I forgot,as leader if you go unmolested (OK, poor choice of words but it gets the point across) you get an additional 250 points,and an untouchable ribbon (which goes toward a medal).

All i can do is LOL. You're right, i think they pick who ever is the top player and just flood them, which is you a lot.
