Execution

This game mode is simple, kill or be killed.

The rules are:

-You must finish your opponent with an execution(close range/Explosion)  1 life per round

Exceptions to the rules are shooting someone in the head while they’re down with the pistol or sniper. The pistol is far easier to shoot the head with. In execution the strategy is fairly simple go for the finish, damage them from a far then rush, or just rush. The only point in not rushing downed enemies is to lure opponents to the scene for extra kills. Luring can be very effective, but it’s a risk/reward kind of thing, it can go really well… or really bad.  After being downed twice, your third down is death, this keeps players from doing the two man rush and picking each other up rapidly. It also adds the feeling of weakness. Since most people think that their teammates will revive them, the three your out rule helps remind people they can be finished from a range.

XxWhoDeyxX85, XHolySchnikiesX, and myself (Hughes03) decided that we should start having a member of the week. Each week on Sunday, the 3 of us (the chairmen) will get together and decide who should be our member of the week. We’ll base our decision on all sorts of things such as, who was most active on the website, who played the most, most improved, among other things. If you have someone you’d like to nominate, leave a message on the forum or send any of us a message on Xbox Live saying who you’d like to nominate and why. These nominations will be taken into account when we are making the decision. We will be adding some sort of marker on the members page to show how many times you’ve been chosen as the Gears of War Addict Member of The Week but we haven’t quite decided on that yet. Stay tuned…Anyway, on to our first pick…

Our first Gears of War Addict Member of The Week is SnugTasslehoff. Snug was pretty impressive this week. Snug spent a lot of time playing in general and with all of the clan members. After coming in third a week ago in our first Gears of War Addict tournament, Snug played enough to be in the top 500 on annex on Gears of War 2. Snug is a great player and I look forward to pwning more n00bs with him in the near future. Congrats SnugTasslehoff!
