| scat398 said: I do have a problem with the complaints over the SOS. It's not over powered, it's an instant death gun for close quarters designed to keep gnasher rollers from rushing you. That has always been the biggest problem with gears community...too many gnasher users manipulating epic to take away anything that prevents them from just rolling up and hip shooting you. They gimped lancer's, they gimped melee's, anything and everything to keep the gnasher community happy. Gears 3 has a chance to bring back the core player that gears 2 lost hopefully epic will keep a level head and keep the SOS and the gnasher just the way they are. |
I don't have a problem with Epic trying to give players an alternative to CQB battles with the Gnasher, but whatever that solution is, make it require SOME skill.
Something more than, "Get close, pull trigger".
Like 'em or not, gnasher battles (especially well palyed gnasher battles) require skill and timing. The SOS requires neither.
Look at this another way: the rifle equivalent of the SOS, would be the One-Shot, with auto tracking so that you basically never missed. How much skill would THAT take to get a kill? None at all really...
