Or just take a sniper rifle and shoot them straight in the mouth

Pft.

Pros kill them with Silverback stomps.

I kill them by pointing in their direction and imperiously demanding "Remove it!" and then I go hide.

Has anyone unlocked the final unlockable build item in horde? I just unlocked the Silverback.

Got to wave 30 yesterday with a really good pick-up group, and my wife started bitching at me. Made me quit. I was not a happy camper.

Which map do you all think presents the easiest path to level 50 in horde?

Overpass for easy stair defence would be my guess.

True. Silverback in the top part has a good field of fire.

I think I hate horde mode when played with the average random people now... hate.

We did it on dry docks, middle has a great spot, with only 2 stairs and a middlebridge connecting it.

Thrashball has one of the best spots. Up on the side with that small room. Two stairs leading up, huge open platform to shoot from.

apparently, it's to make it through Char without damaging any statues, you get access to all those guns you see as you go past.


personally for horde I like the stairs at overpass, though as you slowly slide into the sinkhole i'm worried about HoD effectiveness...

I just unlocked level 5 turret which is the Troika, a few waves before facing my first Brumak. Solo'd him as the rest of the team killed the boomers. It was pitifully easy with this beast of a turret.

Got to thirty one yesterday on 'overpass', then the host left. It was mainly because we had reavers, Junkers and Corpsers as the boss waves, much easier than those wretched bezerkers.

Just finished the game on Hardcore in 12ish hours or so with my mate over 2 days haha.

I must say it didnt disappoint

Few points to make in a spoiler tag for obvious reasons:

Spoiler:
I was pretty sure Carmine died, I thought I saw him get beaten to death by his own arm D:
Dom's death was awesome yet sad.
Markus' dad dying was somewhat expected since I had a gut instinct that he injected himself with the parasitic imulsion.
The lambent zerker was the most annoying boss in that game!
The final boss was pretty mediocre imo, its a case of shoot in face use HOD, shoot in face use HOD and repeat.


Still fun though, now I dont need to wait for a 4th or buy the 3rd now since im not too bothered about playing online in ranked matches.

When the rich rage war it's the poor who die

Armies I have: Chaos Space Marines, Tau, Necrons, High Elves

Armies I want:Lizardmen, Warriors Of Chaos, Dark Eldar

Armies I may get: Dark Angels, Tomb Kings, Vampire Counts

Spoiler:
That was Jinx, a named "Nameless" Redshirt, Carmine was shot down by the BATTLE BUTTERFLY!
I found that Dom's Death was powerful because they played Mad World during it, which was the same song they played for Gears of War 1's Commercial.
Yeah, I figured as much too.
Agreed, Lambent Zerker needs to be shot in the chest, repeatedly, and violently.
Don't mock the BATTLE BUTTERFLY!


Comparison: MAJOR SPOILERS!

Absolutely loved the gears series, and Gow3 didn't disappoint.

Spoiler:
When Dom died, and he was yelling out to Maria really scared/angrily, and then at the end when Marcus's dad died,
it kinda made me feel ill. Like I loved the campaign, but we've invested so much time playing as Marcus and he just
loses everything in the end(minus Anya). As I said, good trilogy, but kinda heartbreaking ending.

Spoiler:
The only thing I hated about Doms death was the fact that the "Brothers to the end" achievment appeared before he actually died, meaning you could guess what was gonna happen. If it was given after then it may have been a bit more shocking, still the music made it pretty sad tbh.


Least Gears 3 isnt a complete sausage fest this time(My memory may be bad since its been the weekend of its release since I played gears 2)

Dom dies, but when Cole looked at the cardboard cutout of himself and said that sad quote that I can't remember right now.

Man, that whole sequence went from heart-breakingly touching, to just pure awesome. I don't know if I'd rank it above the other part, but it was definitely memorable.
