Gamebattles/MLG Guide

by LockDown on May.29, 2009, under Gears of War Guides

Game battles are interesting beats, they are so different from normal ranked matches that we all play over xbox live. I’ve come up with a few key differences and some tips about playing in the gamebattles matches.

Major Differences

-Weapon Spawns are different

-Friendly Fire is on

-Default rifles are the same

Weapon Spawns

The weapon spawns on all maps are different on most maps. In fact most maps favor the torque bow over the sniper, meaning those with the torque will dominate if they can get their hands on it.

Friendly Fire is on 

Friendly fire is on, watch your aim! You can’t just shotgun into the crowd anymore, you have to ensure that your not blowing your teammates arms off. Explosive weapons like boomshots, torque and grenades should be used with caution as well.  Oh, and planted grenades work the same too, if you plant a grenade you better move fast, and never go by it again. Smokes, inks, and frags all trigger on yourself and your teammates. This is a huge deal, using plants seal you off from that spot as well as your teammates. Mainly it seals off that path, but I prefer not to use them as plants in a gamebattles match, I prefer to throw them.

Default rifles are the same 

Default rifles are the same. Meaning if Lancer is selected only lancers can be used and vice versa, however you can deny a challenge if you don’t like the default weapon you can refuse the challenge. Some teams will take the challenge even if their team is not familiar with the starting weapon, which poses a huge handicap. However all lancers to me seems crazy.

Strategy

Now basic concepts are focus firing, and strategy.  Focus firing means teammates call out who they are firing on and everyone focuses on that one target if they are able. This is especially critical in 2v2.  Strategy is key, iTz Cond3mned and I have a strategy for every map, if that strategy fails we adapt to what our opponent does to counter our attacks.  Predicting your opponents moves is a big deal, if you can manage to stop their attacks from happening its all gravy from there.
