For a while we’ve been hinting that we had a new project we’ve been working on. At last, it’s online and ready to go! Introducing The Gaming Rx, your source for all gaming on all platforms! Why did we create The Gaming Rx? Well, it’s easy to get burnt out on a game, now we have every game…including of course Gears of War / Gears of War 2. This site will remain up so anyone can access the wealth of information that is already here but in the future we’ll be spending most of our time posting in the new The Gaming Rx Forums.

Head over to The Gaming Rx and become a member!

Results May Vary

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

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!

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.

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.

Move Out!

Yup, an article on SWAT(Special Weapons and Tactics) while this post is more on the tactics part, special weapons are mentioned. So recently players have been asking me how I make some decisions, and how I decided to fight. Well basically it’s a tactical decision if I’m thinking. Sometimes I make dumb moves in order to get things done faster, which is more risky. So I spent a week calculating a point system for how I react to things.

 So I’ve devised a point system based on weapons and other things in the game, while excessive amounts of skill makes this system a bit offset, since some people can use certain weapons with immeasurable skill.

 I’ll give a brief explanation why each thing is measured at its value. Then I’ll explain the system and how it works.

This guide intends to explain to you how to optimize your time/experience gain ratio in Gears of War 2’s ranking system legitimately: i.e. no boosting and no glitching.

A Basic Overview:

To go up in rank, you need to complete games and gain experience. The more experience you earn, the higher your rank. The highest points scoring games are the respawning game modes, but the quickest have little or no respawns. This leaves a dilemma of which to pick? Hopefully this guide will help explain which one choice is the best choice for YOU.
