The lancer is important to the Gears of War series. If they got rid of the chainsaw, it would completely ruin the gun and negatively affect the series.

Am I reading this right? You're suggesting taking the chainsaw out of Gears of war? That is the whole reason many people even played the game!
Which goes to show you 1. How "good" of a game Gears is and 2. How intelligent the fans are.

I hate noobs that just use the chainsaw on Gears!
Me and a friend were discussing, if they should remove the chainsaw from the lancer or give the choice to remove the chainsaw in online matches.
I'd prefer if it would be removed all together, cos i hate chainsaw noobs who just lancer and chainsaw all the time.
Dam you must be crap if you're letting them get that close to you and YOU'RE not using a shotgun or carrying something with enuff power to down them before they close the gap.
Seriously what are you trying to do hammer of dawn them?

But calling them noobs then complaining on a forum about your sucking and being the bigger noob isn't going to help you.

at the end of the day, its in the game for a reason, its just another tactic, if someone manages to chainsaw me from behind, i am a bit annoyed, but kudos to them for managing to sneak up on me.

Its just another weapon and another tactic

dont hate the player for simply using a play style that he or shes is good at.
SImply dont play the game, or find a way to fight back

Get over it. If you are letting people get close enough to hit you with it then that's your problem.

The only people who ***** about this are the ones who stupidly run all the way across the map with their shotgun out and then can't take it when their "Sup3r l337 tactickz" are outsmarted by somebody holding the 'b' button.

The only situation where it's an issue is when a bug occurs when your shots don't stun somebody revving the chainsaw like it's supposed to.

Like people have said before, if you can't beat "noob" tactics then you are in no place to be critiquing peoples skill at a game.

Sorry to have to break it to you.
That too.

i don't get the point with shotgunners though ?
I love the shotgun-loving-chainsaw-hating people. I get them on a certain map where I pretend I don't see them, walk through a door and then turn around with my chainsaw revved and walk back out, they walk into it every. single. time.

Gears is a lackluster Doom clone with sparse 40k aspects.

/thread

All in all, no, you just need to learn to avoid this kind of thing. Aka, grenade them.
Were you even thinking when you made this troll post?
A third person game where you spend your time behind cover is not a doom clone and Warhammer didn't invent the chainsaw.

You also can't "/thread" your own posts, someone else needs to do it if they think your post was any good. Of course you would think it's good because you posted it.

Yes its annoying since grubs can chainsaw you even when being hit and you can't use it until 3 seconds after being hit. BUT SO WHAT?! If you don't like it don't play Gears go play CoD or whatever. Why not just take everything that makes other games unique or good, like MC's armor or Gorden Freeman's Gravity Gun, or the ability to jack cars in GTA or Saints. OR --- Use strategy and find a way to get around it. And people will do whatever gets them the most kills. If using the Chainsaw gives them winning streaks then good for them and bad for you. Now how about you and your friends go somewhere where you can't ruin our good games. Jackass.

Use a shotgun when youre in cover and shoot on them when they are actually longer away from you, problem solved.

I love those Chainsaws ! even when i get killed by them
who cares if it has no skill i respect the person who uses a overly badass weapon to get a badass kill

i don't get the point with shotgunners though ?

If you HATE the chainsaw, roll shotgun. Besides, if you get a melee hit in when the chainsaw is being revved they get pushed back a couple seconds.

If you can't beat "chainsaw n00bs" no matter what, then you're the n00b.

if you can't beat em join em......or shotgun them in the face

btw i have given up on gears 2

1: gears 1 is more fun and less glitchy
2: co-op splitscreen without 2 gold accounts is possible in gears 1 (cliffy b wtf were you thinking when you ditched that for gears 2)

that's a no


ps: try posting the it in the gears forums under the title: omg noooz the chansawz f0r noobs, or some other generic title, I guarantee succes :D

Shotguns are deadly at short range, and you need to be stupid enough to let people get close enough to use the chainsaw, or just not see them. But it takes 2 or 3 well aimed shots to put them down with the shotty. Just use the Lancer on em and they will automatically lower the chainsaw.

Has anybody really seen what a Lancer looks like without a chainsaw?



Looks way less cool.

Um...you DO realise that you have guns that shoot bullets at very fast speed towards an opponent coming towards you, right? The fact that you can use it to kill them before they can get close enough to chainsaw you?

It's a great weapon to ambush with, and used correctly in Annex can mean the difference between victory and defeat, as I have learned many times.

Most Gears 2 players seem to think that rolling around and wildly trying to two-piece each other constitutes skill. And they get mad when other people, i.e. Lancer users, won't play 'fair'. The game ends and regardless of who wins, somebody gets called a "chainsaw ******". Rinse and repeat.

just shotgun them before they get anywhere near you, simples. chainsaw is no match for the shotgun. if they skillfully sneak up behind you and chainsaw you, then well done to them they're a good player. i can't honestly understand why you would want to make one of the coolest things ever uncool by taking the cool part out, weird.

Let's run thought some possible scenarios.

#1 (Gears without chainsaws)
Person A: So I hear there's this game called Gears of War Coming Out. You play some badass who kills aliens.
Person B: Meh, played it.

#2 (Gears with chansaws)
Person A: There's this new game called Gears of War where you get a chainsaw on the front of your gun!
Person B: Awesome!



As you can see, the chainsaw is everything.
Hell thats what got me hooked on the game in the first place, that and the main character is Bender so I always expect him to one time blurt out "Bite my shiny metal ass" or "I'm back baby"
