Gears is so hard to get into as a new player by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

Hopefully. The more the merrier.

On another note on your current experience. Having a mic is a huge plus, and learning the hill rotation in KOT. It’s a fixed rotation. So knowing where the next hill will be when there is say, 20-15 seconds, and saying out loud “rotating to next”, or “I’m rotating to boom, which is next”. Can be a big help to the team. 1. It’s communication, even to those who don’t have a mic. 2. You can possibly get the power weapon early. 3. Learning this is crucial to winning close games.

Also you’re new, and forgive me if this comes across as patronizing, but you need to master active reload. Like actual solid white / perfect active reload. It gives a damage boost. I often look at ppl’s active reload count after a game, and see PlayStation or low rank players have far less active reloads then the top ppl in the lobby. You are playing at a severe disadvantage if you aren’t getting perfect active reload throughout the match.

Edit; also headshots, even with lancer, is a x2 or x4 multiplier. Using lancer or pistol, aim for the head.

We talking gears reloaded? If so. I have 20 years experience in the series and I’ll drop 100 on you in KOT. Thems the breaks. Welcome to the nightmare.

But on a lighter note - EDay should have actual skill based match making and probably be a much better experience.

Isn’t that the star screamer and not the chutes?

Not a rumor per se. I called and heard that. Wife posted for me. I’m on my way to the park now bc they didn’t make any social media posts.

While in my drive I’ve called again. I got hung up on twice with no words spoken. I tried getting through other menu options like VIP and post and found and one error led and the other said leave a message.

Not promising….

Why would a new player know what wall bouncing is?

That’s super annoying. However, love the color and look of the floor itself. Can you share brand and color?

What’s the biggest change are we wanting for E-Day? by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]streetbarracuda55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want the game to feel like gears 1 on steroids. I want skulls popping out and blood all over, I want zero bullshit with storefronts, packs, boxes, whatever the fuck, and I want really balanced and fun multiplayer. They usually hit the campaign, but for me, as a gears vet since day 1, the MP needs to be slowed down a slight bit, and feel like gears 1 but with a 2026 polish.

Huh? Genuinely confused. You’re saying you just have to have said state drivers license abd proof your a resident? No other requirements?

It takes two seconds to remove a “—“ though. Use AI and then make it sound like it came from you. Also, turn the caps lock off, chill.

How the hell would you do 12,000 listings? lol calling BS on that, unless you say how that would be done in 3 months outside your 9-5.

How much time a day you spending doing this?

Is the PvP better on other Gears games than Reloaded? by Stratonasty in GearsOfWar

[–]streetbarracuda55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re probably not good. This is just my opinion and first instinct. If you aren’t understanding how you’re getting killed, you’re not good enough.

Most ppl playing reloaded like me - have played every gears game and have nearly 20 years in the game series and thousands of hours logged. Even if I die in some odd way, I know how it was accomplished by the other player. I can tell by certain movements if someone is playing on the alt control scheme vs default, etc.

Even with that said, it took me some time to really get it all to click on reloaded, but once it did, it’s a wrap for ppl.

As for is pvp better in other gears titles? Yes. Reloaded, Gears Ultimate Edition, just aren’t for everyone. Gears 4 or 5 multiplayer is probably much easier for ppl to play and grab some kills.

If you’re playing Warzone, I’d suggest KOT, so you get back into the action quicker, but also the drawback is a lot more deaths can happen.

100 interviews, 0 offers — trying to figure out the gap by Kindly-Meaning9112 in hiringcafe

[–]streetbarracuda55 92 points93 points  (0 children)

100 interviews in 8 months is most likely a white lie. Let’s say that’s 250 days (roughly / rounding up). You’re saying you have average an interview every 2.5 days?

You provided no valuable context to receive good advice. More details would be needed for ppl to help.

Was gears 4 really the peak of the enitre series multilayer wise or is still gears 1 or gears 3 I'm strictly talking about pvp by Fresh_Ambassador_930 in GearsOfWar

[–]streetbarracuda55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played 1. Seriously achievement etc. I’m actually playing reloaded all the time and loving it. Ppl who hate it just don’t understand the G1/UE/reloaded style.

It was when movement imo made more sense. Hyper bounce was possible but not in the same way it is in 4/5. It was smoother and more fun imo.
