re: New Weapons?

Wait, they confirmed underwater sections for the game? . I frankly didn't think Gears would work with swimming.

When did this happen?

re: New Weapons?

That all depends I guess. If there's multiple maps that feature some water parts, then it should be consider. Otherwise, it's pretty un-useful weapon to be able to use for only one map.

quote Deadman Rules
If there's some kind of advanced BOW then why not an advanced harpoon if there's an underwater part of campaign? It could be a weapon you are able to pick up on maybe one multiplayer map that is water based.
Doesn't mean you have to be swimming either, maybe you are walking on a plank above water and you have to shoot down into the water with a harpoon. I really don't care either way if it's in the game or not I just wouldn't mind it, it would be neat.

Well they were showing off their new water physics in the tech demo, so I'm guessing there'll be quite a few sections with water in. Whether they have any sections where you'll actually have to swim will be a different matter. If there is, I'd imagine the harpoon gun being a fun addition if there were any underwater sections though, even if it only appeared for that short period of time.

re: New Weapons?

Yeah when I first thought of the harpoon it was after watching that video with all that water on gridlock. I'd rather see a short swimming part rather than that driving on the highway shooting kryll again.

I need to go watch it again.


You're right. They did. Although it was only a small section of the spawn.

re: New Weapons?

Yeah it was flooded though and they also showed how better the deeper water looked off the sides of the level. It just got me thinking that maybe there will be one or two levels with alot of water in them, and maybe some enemies lurking in the water, hence the need for a harpoon. I guess the torque bow could be used if you are just shooting down into the water.

Yeah, I'm guessing they're just using Gridlock as a demo map, and in the final version of the game, much larger areas will be submerged.

re: New Weapons?

I would love to see more lazer guns and more machine guns.

Hammer of Dawn I guess?

I don't really think we need any more machine guns, the mechanics of Gears don't really call for huge weapon variation, so the full auto fire Lancer and the burst fire Hammerburst are really all we need.

I'm still looking forward to the flame thrower. I hope they consider it, I want to burn someone alive.

Same here. What do you think it's range should be though?

Also, why the hell does tracemastax have "black person?" as his thread subject?

re: New Weapons?

A bit further than the shotgun range, or the same range as the shotgun. Either way seems fair to me.
