i feel that the flamethrower only does damage when the target is standing but when he jumps and rolls my flame is burning him but yet it does no damage.
And I would love for the lancer to have a zoom cause i use it to get people down not to chainsaw.
P.S i think nubs chainsaw because of the shotguns unreliability how many times did you see a sniper unaware of your presence shoot him strait in the face he takes the bullets and D mêlée's you down (or something like that )but what would happen if you just chainsawed th guy.

Why would Epic want everyone want to run around with a one-hit kill weapon, with auto-aim, and if you want to shoot someone at a range, then you can just shoot them with the lancer, which, if they follow your opinion, would be close to strength with the hammerburst, with the much longer clip, with the less recoil. The saw is what people look forward to when getting GOW, but when it comes down to it the shotgun is just more fun to use. The hammerburst is supposed to overpower the lancer, because it lacks a chainsaw, and if the Lancer was made as/more powerful than the hammerburst, then it would be completely useless.

dude the chainsaw isnt even easy to use its super easy to dodge

[DMAK2223]

lancer needs a serious bump maybe if it went back to the fire rate of gow1 then it would be more balanced and possibly clip size of gow1 and dont even say the chainsaw makes it more balenced because chainsaws are way easier to dodge then melles and once melled ur pretty much ****ed

I think people chainsaw because, the lancer is a mid-long range weapon, with close range capabilities. A shotgun is a close range weapon. 60% of the gears community uses shotties as a primary weapon, a good amount can wallbounce properly. (I know u all agree with me on this next point). If u are new to the game then there is a .001% chance u will be able to beat someone who can wallbounce and use a shotgun, with your shotgun. Chainsaw is an anti-wallbounce weapon. Shotgunners tend to get into close range simply because a shotty is a close range weapon. From this perspective the chainsaw is the only way the player has a chance at winning. It goes from .001% - 50%. Basically you can't expect people who are new to the game to play on ur level. Anyone who can use a shotty is probably just being a jerk or wants to get u out of the way as quickly as possible. It sucks but the real pros learn how to avoid it.

Very nice post. This will help possible client to get a quality person.

When i shoot the shotgun and roll then try to shoot again it won't so I have to pull the trigger a second time but only happens when am host

[Raze King]

I want the snub pistol headshot back from GOW 1. This will add Snub pistol as being a primary weapon to use in combat.

I know I am new here, but I like to think that the Gnasher needs to be downplayed just a little, so that players can actually think of other means to use their weapons with their heads rather than just wallbouncing and host shotty and whatnot.

Plus, I think that some other weapons could stand to be improved with things like increased firerate, a lil more damage, and in some cases, even a bit more ammo to make them be able to be used instead of just denied for the Gnasher alone.
