The only way you can actually get a kill is with an upclose shotgun. Gnasher was annoying before but now the Sawed-Off is an instant kill. WTF? It's complete bullshit. And don't even bother trying to stop someone from charging at you. The assault rifle rarely slows them down. They just run and shoot you in the face with a one hit kill. Complete bullshit. I've played some bad MP like Crysis 2 and Homefront but that's technical stuff. This is bad because the guns are fucking ridiculous. |
1. It's a Beta
2. Learn to shoot (The head is a good place to start)

You act like this is the first time you have ever played Gears before. Gears multiplayer has always been about close quarter shotgun fights and that hasn't changed in Gears 3. If you didn't like gears multiplayer before you wont like gears 3.
IT's a shame there isn't a bigger community talking about this game on chartz, as this beta has been really fantastic.
Standard weapons each have a use, Lancer for long distance suppressive fire, hammerburst for mid-to-short range and Pendulum for CQB (pretty effective against gnasher wielding foes). Shotguns are nice if you like them (I do) gnasher feels like Gears 1 and DBS is a beast up close.
Two-Peicing has been mostly nerfed (stun from melee is non-existant really) and power weapon are fun to try out (though niether map currently available is particularly a great sniper map IMO).
Biggest difference is the speed and maneuverability; much faster and smoother than 2 - took some getting used too.
You can still tell when you are on a P2P connection, vs dedicated server, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was in Gears 2. Plus when you hit a dedicated server it's like sweet mana of the gods.
For the most part you rarely feel like the game cheated you out of a kill, or gave another player an unfair advantage, you can usually tell how/why you died, and learn from it (like don't let the fool with the DBS get anywhere NEAR you).
Two nights and 30 or so matches in and I"m loving it, can't wait to get back to it shortly.

Its ass as short range and lancer is better at mid range, its a long range weapon. Its also awesome if you use it with active reload and nobody is aiming at you = instant down from any range. The weapon doesn't recoil anymore when you shoot, but it does when you get shot so it not longer the weapon for all battles (even close) which it was in Gears 2.
For me its like this, Retro = short, lancer = mid, hammer = long. Shotgun is your go to weapon when you not packing any map based weapon or when you know where your enemies are and a rifle is better for that range. Shotgun solves all suprieses though, even chainsaw noobs.

Admittedly the hammerburst is not my weapon of choice, but I've found the Lancer, with it's large magazine and low recoil to be my long range weapon of choice. I do agree, that when ADS, the hammerburst has ZERO recoil, but your field of vision becomes so small, I feel vulnerable to flanking. That being said, I wont argue that the HB couldn't be a great long range rifle, it just isn't how I use it.
Mid-range when somebody's charging you though - it has great stopping power and can down fools super-quick. When playing a team that prefers the DBS, I always break out the HB to keep them away.
I am a shotgun whore though, I think my kills are like 80% Gnasher, 15% Pendulum and 5% Lancer (or something like that). My standard load-out for any game is Pendulum/Gnasher and I only change if the enemy tactics force me to.
