Gears of War 2: Math 101

Results May Vary

I told everyone to expect a math post and here it is! So recently I got my hands on the scan of the weapon chart, and after some digging and some tests I’ve got a whole new set of data for you my friends. Lets start with the basic math.

Each player has a stock of 600 hp when they spawn. IF you take damage you will start regaining 200 hp every second after 2 seconds. Meaning if your at 100 hp, after 2 seconds your at 300hp after 3 seconds your at 500 and after 4 seconds your at 600, so in 4 seconds of not getting shot you will regain your full hp. Granted lag can throw this off a second or two.

So your getting Worked…

Learn to Cope

Learn to Cope

So your playing your favorite Xbox Game(Gears of war 2) and your online and you just got worked. Now by worked I don’t mean it was close, and if you had another chance you would have got them! I mean this fight was one sided, you could have had a better chance smashing all of the buttons on the controller at once. Well it happens to all of us, some of us more than others, and I decided we need a method to calm down and not try and find the person and murder them.. or at least humiliate them somehow.

Turbo Controller Broken Down

by LockDown on Jul.08, 2009, under Gears of War News

Breaking it down...

Breaking it down...

So we have all seen it, we have all been extremely pissed off because of it, and now I’ve done some research, and I’ve got the rundown. The turbo controllers are simple devices, they simply trick the game into a high speed of firing with some resisters and some switches. I’ve done some research and I’ve come to the conclusion that these turbo controllers are not the instruments of death we see them as, they are easy to counter by far. Simply close the gap, and get personal, the turbo controllers don’t make these people invincible, just fire at a high rate. The Hammerburst is the biggest fiend using this controller, and the snub pistol is a beast too. However nothing else is really beefed up. The turbo control isn’t even useful when it comes to the non actived Hammerburst, the recoil is just too powerful to keep on a target that is dodging, now if your running right at him your going down.

Gears of War 2 “Eclipse Fighting Style”

by LockDown on Jun.22, 2009, under Gears of War Guides

Gizmohs Style

Gizmoh's Style

Rundown

The eclipse style I use switches between the extremes of offense and the extremes of defense. By mastering the two extremes I can efficiently decimate units by camping or rushing.

And like black eclipses and invisible eclipses, sometimes the eclipse style utilizes stealth and sometimes it shows its true measure in an all out attack.

Mastering The Boltok Pistol In Gears of War 2

by LockDown on Jun.20, 2009, under Gears of War Guides

The inscription on the handle reads "That thing is going to molest betty!" - Dizzy

The inscription on the handle reads "That thing is going to molest betty!" - Dizzy

This weapon is the dizzy special, or the boltok… I like the dizzy special better the whole cowboy on a rampage thing.

Details

  • Ammo – 6 Rounds
  • Effective Range – 5m – 60m
  • Accurate Range  – 5m – 60m
  • Active Reload – Double Fire Rate

This is a beastly pistol, its chance at getting a headshot seems far more likely than the longshot’s ironically enough though I doubt it actually is, but it just seems like it happens more when your just firing on wall bouncers and rollers. It really is a great weapon, but if its pressured in close range and it is not actived, its at a great disadvantage due to the slow fire rate.

Appreciate Your Masters

Noted for 100% authentic photo

Noted for 100% authentic photo

erhm i mean chairmen.

So Yesterday i got a message from a concerned addict that,  our chairmen need to be recognized, and i thought on it and thought on it, and decided yeh maybe shes right, i mean they can’t be member of the week, and they do all the work. And we all know hughes is jealous of everyone else since hes stuck doing the website work. lol. But seriously On behalf of the Gears of War Addicts We would like to say thank you for everything you guys do both on the site and off.

I remember when i first popped up at this site, i was just combing it for info, I honestly didn’t think much of the idea of a Gears Clan. Until I noticed that they were serious, they weren’t just a group of people playing the same game that called themselves a clan, they were a clan. Those three chairman have built this site and this clan into something really nice. Everyone here is great, everyone I’ve played with is awesome. And the fact that half of us play together on several other games instead of just gears.

So on behalf of the Clan

Thanks Chairman!

Mastering The Gorgon Pistol in Gears of War 2

by LockDown on Jun.19, 2009, under Gears of War Guides

This weapon has become my new favorite toy. Its power is extremely underestimated, and that fact alone makes me enjoy the weapon, when people see you with it they rush you or don’t take you seriously. Then bam you own their face! Lets nail down the specs:

stats-weap-gorgon

  • Ammo Capacity- 20 rounds
  • Trigger Pulls – 4
  • Effective range – 0m-40m
  • Accurate Range – 0m-55m
  • Active Reload – 20% Damage Increase

Gears of War 2 “Hammering of the Dawn”

by LockDown on Jun.18, 2009, under Gears of War Guides

Yup its that time, to learn how to use this weapon of weapons, once you maximize the potential of this bad boy, you can destroy teams just with the pull of the trigger(and held of course).

I wasn't even CLOSE to that explosion!

I wasn't even CLOSE to that explosion!

Details

  • Ammo- 4-5 Bursts(based on usage) to 8-10
  • Charge Time – 3 seconds
  • Length of Fire – 7 seconds
  • Effective Range – 5m- ∞ (as long as there is no ceiling or overhead)

This weapon is extremely powerful once you get it down pat, its all about aiming it without being hit or detected. Even when detected people underestimate its explosion radius. Using this weapon in the middle of battle is difficult, its hard to hit a moving target especially close to you. Always aim behind someone close to you, if done correctly the explosion will be far enough to keep you alive but close enough to demolish your enemy.

Mastering The Hammerburst in Gears of War 2

by LockDown on Jun.17, 2009, under Gears of War Guides

The One Stop Pwnage Shop!

The One Stop Pwnage Shop!

This in my opinion is the overall strongest weapon in the game, and can not be overlooked at all. It has power at all ranges if used correctly. Its sheer ability to down is astounding.

So the Details

  • Ammo Capacity – 35 Bullets
  • Trigger Pulls – 17 (Some trigger pulls are 2 bullets)
  • Effective Range – 5m – 60m
  • Accurate Range – 5m – (no none limit)
  • Active Reload – 20% damage boost, Decreased Recoil

This weapon is just ridiculous, its downing pour alone is amazing, and a good person can fire it extremely fast making the down time even better. If you just hold the trigger and auto fire its around 5 seconds of firing, if you tap as fast as you can its around 2.5 seconds, I’d say turbo controls achieve 2 seconds of firing time.  That’s fast, plus an active reload at 1.5 second, so you could basically dump your entire store in about 22 seconds. With a turbo control and done perfectly 20 seconds or so.  On top of all that, close range defense is pretty impressive. With a quick beat down and some quick firing, or a ninja like double beat down. If you can wall bounce around, no shotgunner will keep you down.
