Yeah I was gonna say, Carmine was pretty damn helpful picking myself or Kick up when we played co-op. Especially when I was too busy fighting back waves of locust or we had a distance between us.

I played the game for the first time yesterday afternoon, and I gotta say it's badass. I never played MP on the first Gears, but I plan on this being the replacement for CoD4 for me. I played through the MP tutorials (to get the achievement), and that was actually a lot of fun, even with the bots. However, I think I'm gonna need someone to play through co-op with me on Insane once I beat it (might as well kill 2 birds with 1 stone, get the co-op achievement and the insane achievement at the same time). If anyone is interested, please send me a PM and let me know, or send me a message on XBL. I probably won't be done with the single player campaign until the end of the week though, maybe next week, since I'm busy with work. But I definitely want to get this done.

Also, does anyone know how to use the damn mortar launcher to send mortars farther than like 50ft away from you lol. I tried aiming it higher, lower, straight ahead, and it seemed like it went the same distance every time.

You're doing something wrong then. The longer you hold the right trigger down the farther it goes, the longer dash line shows you the distance of the last mortar you fired so you know to send it shorter or farther.

I might have to hit you up on that offer then. I want to go through insane co-op this weekend to as I will be going home from college (that weekend).

is anyone having any problems connecting to a game? i was searching for about 20 mins!!!

It found my team but couldn't find a team to play against....

From the official Epic forums:

Q: Slow Matchmaking ? Why does it take so long for matchmaking to find me a game?

A: This is an issue that?s affecting some folks, and Epic and Microsoft are both looking into it. I'll let you know more details as I have them.

I learnt that the hard way during the chapter with the Brumak fight in the tunnel :rofl:

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
