Alright, I have to say I'm a lot more annoyed with the sawed off shotgun after today. About 90% of my deaths came from it, many times when I wasn't even close to the guy using it. It's really freaking annoying when the entire team is using them.
On another note, why does it seem sometimes like Epic doesn't know how to put a power weapon in a map without making the area around it camper heaven? I'm looking at you, whoever designed Thrashball and Trenches. Let's give whoever has mulcher a raised platform that the only way you can go and attack him is by running up the stairs right past him and going all the way around, pray he's not paying attention and maybe you can sneak up behind him, and let's also give him a perfect angle to annhilate anyone who's coming out of the tunnels from spawn. Then, let's give whoever has the one-shot the top of a hill it takes 10 days to run across to even get to him. I just played a game that ended with an entire team camping around the one-shot. I just don't get why whoever's designing these maps doesn't understand that people don't enjoy it when somebody sits on the power weapon almost the entire freaking game and does nothing else.

Grenades? If the whole team is camping in one place, they are free frags. Especially on the one shot level since mortar is on the opposite side, the only reason a team is able to keep the power weapons and tactical position, is if they outplay the other team. Since its really easy to counter with either nades, boltock pistol headshots (on the guy aiming the mulcher) or good team work. Plus the mortar and the mulcher is always in a very exposed location with at least 3 sides you can get shot from, sometimes all 4.

If whoever has the one shot gets hit by a mortar, they're a moron. The mortar doesn't even cover half the area where one shot is, never mind that it's a pretty easy shot to hit anyone who picks it up. There's nothing about outplaying the other team when gaining a tactical advantage consists of the entire team running en masse to the one shot because they've been getting their butts handed to them the entire game. Besides, I'm not sure how much you've played this beta, but expecting good teamwork from randoms is a hysterical proposition in Gears 2, and this beta has done nothing to change my opinion.

You cant shoot the guy using the mortar with oneshot thats what the container is for. And yes i know you can move around, but nothing is stoping the dude using mortar from placing the shot on either right or left side, making you guess. Plus you where complaining about how the whole team was camping up there which is why i even mentioned the mortar.
If the guy up there is alone even if he has the oneshot you can easily go up there and have a battle with him without he has a chance to hit you with the oneshot. I always queue with at least 1 friend, don't like running with 4 randoms and hoping that someone knows how to play. I am level 28 btw. Been playing since week 1.
Power weapons are only good if you have good Team play. Or if the other team is a bunch of noobs who just run around in the open and don't know how to use cover.
