Gears of War 3: Brofisting to the End

Man, I dunno how you're supposed to complete 50 waves of horde on insane without mutators.
The same way you can finish the final boss battle on co-op Insane Arcade without mutators?
Epic couldn't have play tested either.
Got the DLC as well. Looking forward to the new items.
Na no way. I would say I'm pretty skilled at Gears and I had 4 other players with me that I would say is equal to my skill or greater ( we were pretty much rank 100 in 3 weeks, running nothing but ranked matches ). Waves 40-50 are simply impossible without mutators on insane. Yea I can beat the final campaign boss without mutators but horde, it's like the final boss x infinite boss spawn. They are insanely accurate, a simple drone will kill you if they land 2 shots with the hammy wave 40+ but what's more annoying are the freakin tickers. It won't be a drone or a grinder or armored kantus that kills you but a freakin ticker.
Remember Wave 40+ and they have 2.5x more of everything. So, in actuality, they are doing 5x the damage and have 5x the health on Insane but don't worry the hammy is like a god weapon. You too you can kill people in 2 shots with super-reload.

A couple interesting ones in there... Wonder if they'll be updating beast in particular. Don't think I'll be getting the Foreshadowing one (Casual or Standard matchmaking).
Title Update 2 changes:
Improvements
Exploit Fixes
General Fixes
------------------
COMET AND INFINITE AMMO (100x combat engineer) WERE WELL WORTH THE TIME SPENT. ಠ_ಠ I can't remember what I needed for Regen mutator, but I had it for quite awhile.
mmm... no hud during MP. EXTRA CHALLENGE!
lol @ Field Engineer. Honestly, I'd have more fun with Act III Ch 1 on Insane with Super Reloads, Must Active Reload, and Vampire. It's definitely possible to get around 1.1M in one sitting, but not dying is the trick. >_> The Onyx medal is worth 20K. Only have to do it 7x and bam!

No mention of the new maps? Played on one from GeOW 2 today
Well, it was billed as a deleted chapter. I've not played too many games, but I thought as an SP chapter, it was a rather experimental offering to see how many people cared (whilst trying something a bit different for Gears with the stealth). Now they've actually got a plan for doing it right, so I don't think the gears 2 offering was outright shitty given what it has meant for future developments, and well, the price was decent with all the maps being included beside it.
I actually wonder why we don't see Marcus and Dom sporting the Theron armour in MP (would clearly have to be on Locust team to avoid confusion even if that defeats the point of the circumstances). The game could always use more skins
Update 2 seems to have fixed the Domination bug (to unlock the Chrome Retro). Bah... can't even get the chrome lancer cuz no one is playing Gears 1 anymore.
edit:
Okay, maybe if I keep saying I won't get something, I'll get it. I just got the Don't Hate the Player achievement.

hm.... was looking through this high res gallery of character models: http://fronttowardsgamer.com/2012/01/02/gears-of-war-3-hi-res-character-photo-gallery/
Looks like we should expect to see classic hoffman and an alternate skin of Adam Fenix to show up at some point for one of the DLC. Wouldn't mind having the other pre-order bonus skins, though I already have Mechanic Baird. Commando Dom looks pretty awful to be honest. Not a huge fan of Adam Fenix's character model either.
On the locust side... I don't believe the game came with the following for MP use:
Palace Guard
Theron Guard unmasked
Armoured Kantus
Thrashball Drone
Cyclops

So ... just finished GoW3.
The authors intended to have you play as the out-and-out, immoral and entirely disgusting double-genocidal bad guys, didn't they?
I'm assuming they did ... in which case, the decision to make no attempt to inform the player of this was actually quite bold.
Feel kind of dirty for playing these games now, but I guess that was quite clever.

The story.
Humans are the bad guys. And Marcus is representative of their lack of perspective and morality, and the dreadful husks they end up as.
Edit: after successfully committing double genocide - one race that the humans had been using as fuel, another which pre-dated humans, and had initially sought help from the humans as (human) emulsion mining pushed their race towards extinction - Marcus ends the series by murdering an unarmed woman using a knife.
Cure hero music and celebration from his Bros, and Marcus sits on a beach with the hot woman he's later going to be fucking etc.

Well, if you put it that way ...
ha ha ha.
The funny thing is that I loved playing those games, but I pretty much tuned the story out entirely, because it was shit. I honestly had no idea what was going on, because I didn't pay attention. As far as I knew, bad guys were invading the surface because. I don't even remember him stabbing the queen lady at the end. Is she human?

She's Locust, but basically looks like a hot woman (complete with firm tits and ass, naturally, it's Broshot game) but with grey skin.
She's lost, and knows Marcus has just killed off her entire species, and is trying to explain something, and Marcus gets right up in her face and pushes a knife into her (only person this happens to in the entire game) and says something about wanting her to feel it.
It's .... Marcus is not a good guy. The humans are not good guys. Oh and the lady Marcus is tipped to hook up with on the beach was involved in firing the Hammer of Dawn at a huge city and turning millions of men, women and children to dust.
So ... lots of murder and mass murder and mass mass murder to go around.
Basically, the humans cause all the problems and then solve things by killing just about everyone and everything.
Game plays well enough though ...

They way you put it is entertaining and still have a point. Never saw it that way before

At least it's realistic.
I'm pretty sure she's 100% human. I can't remember if it was in one of the books or some other panel discussion.
The cities were hammered on Prescott's orders near the start of the fighting. Anya had little to do with it.
The books paint a picture of sorts as to how things happened at least.
I suppose that explains her looking like a hot woman. Ahh, god bless vidya games! It just wouldn't have been justice if Marcus had murdered an ugly woman at the end!
Grey skin's still a bit weird though...
The city I was thinking of was the one in Gears of War 3 where there's all the ashen corpses frozen in place. It was hammered during the pendulum wars, by the CoG, as it was an emulsion generating city in opposition hands. Anya says something about being there when order was carried out to basically destroy it and kill just about every civilian there.
The books paint a picture of sorts as to how things happened at least.
I hope the next one paints a better picture of things from the other side.
Hopefully some locust-human hybrids survived, and they team up with some Stranded, and then the Arbiter joins them, and they bring about some kind of justice for all.
It would be good fun to play as the resistance against the CoG.
