Lancer or Hammerburst?

We have once again been updated about the new features of Gears of War 2, and one I took note of is the choice to either spawn with the Lancer or the Hammerburst. So my question to you guys is, as the title implies, what will be your preferred weapon to spawn with? I think I'll use the Lancer for sometime just to have some fun chainsawing, but afterwards I'll probably use the Hammerburst more frequently.

re: Lancer or Hammerburst?

Well I heard that the speed of Hammerburst fire depends on the speed of your trigger finger, so I'll probably use that, since I'm amazing at fingering things.

Now I know why SStorm is creeped out by you.

Honestly, I dunno. I prefer the Chainsaw option if they get two close...Depends I guess.

re: Lancer or Hammerburst?

I hope that the Hammerburst will be used more frequently than the Lancer, considering most people barely use the Hammerburst. I'm pretty sure that the Hammerburst will be a bit different from the one used in GoW.

I wonder how this will work for Multiplayer Rank matches.

re: Lancer or Hammerburst?

They're probably gonna balance them well. I'm sure the HB will be stronger than the Lancer, since it lacks a chainsaw.

Definitely hammerburst.

2-piece > chainsaw

re: Lancer or Hammerburst?

Why does everyone keep using these '>' '<' backwards? if I am understanding what Cdemon means, it SHOULD be 2-peice<Chainsaw. Not the other way around. >_>

re: Lancer or Hammerburst?

Yeah, it'll all be for nothing if you fail to down your opponent doing the two piece. I guess it all depends on how you go about it. Usually, melee first, then shoot.

Well come to think of it, it becomes three piece if you shoot first and melee second for the down, because then you have to execute.

UNLESS OF COURSE HE THOUGH 2-PIECING WAS BETTER THAN CHAINSAWING!

Actually ironmike, the Hammerburst has updated. It should look like this:

re: Lancer or Hammerburst?

Seems tough I like the chainsaw but the hammer burst was more versatile, the lancer having no regular melee was always a little gimped in online

We're talking about primary spawning weapon.
