Gears of War Lessons - Episode #12 - Positioning

[impactblue573]

Great lesson!! Better shotgun lesson than the shotgun lesson!

[CharityDiary]

2:56 Jeez, the Gnasher's range is a bit long, don't you think?

[LBCTOWNBIZZ]

LOL that thrashball with you waiting was funny

[omarhkd]

I've became a big fan of your videos, I hope that one day I'll be able to play as good as you guys, and of course, be a good opponent in a ranked match against the Zyn players!

[dthkbm021]

i am trading mechanic baird code and commando dom message me if you are intersested(:

[TheMastaBeef]

Why is the wallbouncing vid you made in gow2? Have you not done one for gow3? Or is it basically the same thing?

[ItsARevengeThing]

@TheMastaBeef its very similar, enough so that another video would be kind of redundant

[CoDTank]

at 6:20, that must have been the 10%.

[CoDTank]

what editing software do you use???

[CoDTank]

what editing software do you use???

[javsrock52]

great videos, could you do a map guide for gears3 maps, like good spots, weapon pickup locations, strategy for teams to hold areas etc.?

[xavtron]

thanks for the vids I've just started playing with a clan and I'm pretty new to GOW, its my fave multiplayer on console and these are all really helpful for a newbie looking to improve my skills

[Pruane2ishot]

nice trap... but actually sick tutorial and nice gameplay. should help my game a lot.

[hammerofburst]

If u get em damaged wouldnt u keep ur distance..? Cause in close range u both have a chance of 1shot.

[F0rSak3nCaRnaG3]

@hammerofburst Well, you would still want to push them but you dont get too agressive you stay out of gib range and you down them.

[c489xy2]

love these videos man, helping me to play so much more intelligently in most of my games, K/D 2.3 and rising! subbed man, awesome channel

[k247281]

You mentioned if you get hit first, try to get up close to get the instant kill with the shotgun, but what makes you choose that over running/evading? Someone with the retro lancer stuns you so you can't approach. Thanks.

[abcninja5]

@k247281 he was talking about shotguns fights

[Saberwind45871]

i agree with about 90 percent of what you say in your videos, but when it comes down to the wire, 90 percent of what you say that i agree with i won't be thinking about when im fighting, personally, raw intuition is what gets me my kills....sort of like the famous Gibbs Gut if you will, lloll take that for what you will but to each their own.

[arCtiCvBi]

@Saberwind45871 I think if you pick up at least one thing from any of these videos then we've done our job. Whether you do it intentionally or through raw intuition :) thanks for taking the time to check them out.

[SpideRxdP]

dude you are so true most people are looking for a quick fix to make them good practice makes perfect these tips can help you but you need to practice them

[FourTwenty0ne]

Skyllus what sensitivity do you play with? Thanks in advance.

[malodorous1994]

Whenever I play I can't get people who practically sit still like they did here, I "always" get in a match where the whole other team is jumping around likes crazy people. Even in quick match.

[xXHarryR18Xx]

Some call it "Third Person Cheat" I call it "Right Hand Advantage"

[MrBukkit]

Lol at the last scene.

"...Im just gunna hide here...aaand SHAMOOSH!!! BAM!!! IN YO' FACE!"

[TopBananas9]

Really enjoy watching gamers who are great players giving tips to the community and still not taking everything to a roid rage level of intensity. Keep up the good work, would be cool to bump into you online one day!

[austinflockaflame]

Is it true that the girl characters have smaller hitboxes or does it just look that way because they're smaller ?

[blitz34]

Great videos, thanks for taking the time to do this!

Subbed (via goldglove)

[DAK075]

Wow, I never really thought of right-hand advantage. As for decision making, I think I make pretty good ones, despite being more of a casual player. But in the end, it is all about experience when it comes to decision making. The more you have, then you get better at what you do.

[mistapeerez]

Great video. The right hand positioning is what I try to achieve everytime. Great tips.

[MarkoPolo530]

wow these videos are so helpful. i bought gears 3 last week and i sucked at it. after watching these, im ok now lol. well in quick match that is..

[WildWestBudgie]

What an assfucker at 4:30. Jacked his kill with a lancer. 

[saucepile]

Any decent Gears of War 3 players looking to party up (and win!) add gamertag: Saucepile

[plasticsword2]

great videos, man

[2Secondz]

hi. i've got a question about the gnasher. in gow2 (TU6) LT gave the gnasher crazy range when compared to its hipfire, right? how does the spread compare in gow3 between the pop-shot(or hard-aim) and the hipfire? i know that i'm not in the habit of hipfiring unless i'm in gib range because i thought that the spread was just crazy unless aiming.

[deanlovestoeat]

What cont. sensitivities do you play on arCtiCvBi?

[agnus420]

going to miss weapon sliding in gears.

[Repeataarrr]

6:15 also called camping ;)

[mhvr85]

your videos are absolutely fantastic...never have I seen such a technical and methodic tutorial. This is how to play gears. Thumbs up man.

[gamerking23]

i miss old town, kickin the chickens in the ass and burnin em with the flamethower cuz i thought they would turn into drumsticks as an easteregg lol

[xHitMarkersSucx]

Im a new subscriber to this channel so great videos but does this guy work for Epic because I know those camos werent available in the beta but possibly the full game?

[hayabusahd]

Can you make a video foe gow2 please.

[arCtiCvBi]

@hayabusahd unfortunately there won't be anymore gow2 videos with tips/tricks on the channel, sorry.

[Kevn3000]

what was that chicken sound

[punx2204]

LOL i once got a headshot with the boomshot when someone was aming at me with the torque bow on the gears of war 3 beta, and when the symbol showed up that i killed him the crosshairs showed up hahaxD

[straightupgutta]

its kinda of scary how much knowledge you have about this game, its ridiculous... good job though on the videos

[xTriforceOfCourage]

@straightupgutta thats why he's the professional

[IVISMiLESIVI]

"Don't rely on random teamates too much. You'll rage quickly." God is this true or what? Can't tell you how many times im sitting there watching a random cuz im dead and im saying things like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! OMG wow...seriously? You're jerking it at spawn while im taking all these guys on?" Lmao. Good times....good times. Nice video btw already subscribed.

[SomeNextPensioner]

This video helped me massively, as i usually go for the more sexy one shot risky route, i always got fcked now im thinkin bout it much more an finnally got my K/D over 2.0 (on GOW2) thanks :D

[arCtiCvBi]

@SomeNextPensioner great to see that you found some practical use out of the video!

[19nightsky91]

This is very interesting to watch, kudos to for taking your time to do this.

[arCtiCvBi]

@19nightsky91 thanks glad you enjoyed it.

[tonyrocks951]

@arCtiCvBi what do you do that give you so many perks in games? like the camo, really early beta and stuff like that?

[arCtiCvBi]

@tonyrocks951 hmm tough question to answer, maybe i'll cover it in a vlog. There are a lot of articles explaining the things I've done on my website. Reflectzyn.

[KingNefiiria]

Sorry but that was funny what happened at the end with the fail trap. But I do knwo what you mean. So many people just runup there thinking no one's around and then BAM. gnasher to the chest, gnasher to the face, gnasher to the legs.

[demonboyx34]

Someone who doesn't steal kills!!

[AutoPsychotic]

"See, there they come right up, right into my trap..." *gets his head popped* *sighs* "...and we're going to end the episode on that note."

[DREYFROST]

99% of the time gears was all about the gnasher, for which in previous iterations there was absolutely no defense but another gnasher. the assault rifle did nothing, particularly with lag. all you ever got was groups of laggy assholes jogging around the map 3 inches from each other blowing away everything in their path. that, or guys roadie running and diving into oncoming fire for the easy gib.

now you bitches are getting double-barreled and raped by a power rifle. beautiful. HAHAHA!

[PITCHxBLACK21]

@DREYFROST Actually the Gnasher statisticly still gets way more kills than the double barrel. So it may seem like were players are being raped by the double barrel and retro but the people good with gnasher are still destroying people just as easy.

[oatfarls]

What's your KDR?

Just curious. :3

[Skyllus]

@oatfarls Anywhere between 2.0 and 2.5 depending on gametype. Don't really play for K/D when I'm playing in pubs (and in matches you're never gonna have a great K/D)

[magicshadow80]

the silver skin is the coolest i have seen :O!

[troymcklure2002]

Don't get too used to that "hiding spot" in the last clip ;)

[Skyllus]

@troymcklure2002 Awww, you're no fun :) Was hoping this would fly under the radar hehe

[SuppleOldMan]

They're going right into my trap....interesting :)

[WisdomThumbs]

How did you get the Liquid Metal skin though? That's only for Epic Dev-team members. People who work at Epic, I mean.

Looks pretty damn cool, though. Cool beans.

[WisdomThumbs]

I like the bit where you mentioned mind-games and misdirection. I'm not the best player, but I know how to outthink my opponnents. There was one time on Thrashball, in that exact spot where you stood, where I pretended to be an idiot to lure my enemies (I was last man out, it was 1v2). I stood there and took their shots for a while, then jogged over to the wall like I didn't know how to take cover. They rushed up, I got both, praise was heaped on me, it was great.

[jkim152]

yea your head got shot off with your "trap"

[94Villa]

this helps, so much thanks so very much

[BButtonChaos]

@arctic-@skyllus I have a razer onza..and ive noticed a couple problems...1st is that when it rumbles its really loud almost sounds like its beating on the shell of the controller...is this normal?...2nd my left thumbstick is really hard to click on when its tilted.. do you guys have this problem? please respond im not sure if i have to send it back or not.

[Skyllus]

@BButtonChaos I've always played with vibration off - helps your aim in just about every game. And yeah, my left thumbstick has started giving me problems clicking. For GoW3 I just assign the Left function button to left click.

[iTsXillusion]

Vengiman was killed alot in this video.

[xiondisc360]

Another great vid man! I never really thought about hard aiming when a guy pushes around the left hand corner of a box. I also never actually thought about being the aggressor vs the defender so to speak. I've played out the aggressor situation many times I just never thought about it basically narrowing my opponent down to needing to score a kill shot if I push and get the advantage.

[MagicSmurff]

This video really helped me tonight thanks alot

[Dankulous]

@HaX0Rmedia oh wow yeah, i misread your comment

[0SpyderScope]

Is thier any reason you blindfire alot of your shots?

[TheOffspring24]

@0SpyderScope It keeps you mobile and you can aim just as well when you get used to it.

[AfrooChe]

Haha went ninja on them

[trippeffect]

lol at the end you said you'd like to play a trap and then you got headshotted lol

[bizkit2345]

To people asking about the Green and Silver weapons skins..

Skyllus got in the beta really early when it was nothing but epic, Microsoft, and family and friends of Epic and Microsoft. So when he got on, those weapons were unlocked for him.

Silver = Epic Games skin

Green = Microsoft.

And no, there is no way you can get the skins now

I hope that clears things up.

[TMGMACx]

@bizkit2345 No, because i also had the beta when it was epic, microsoft, and friends and i never got any of that, i was like level 12.

[bizkit2345]

@TMGMACx You probably didn't get in early enough.

[Skyllus]

@TMGMACx I was in April 4th. :)

[TMGMACx]

@Skyllus oh okay

[Dankulous]

@bizkit2345 i was in the beta in march and i didnt get it :`(

[bizkit2345]

@Dankulous Then I could be wrong. Skyllus is a big community member, and really helps out on the forums. That could also be the reason.

[Skyllus]

@Dankulous Really? There was only about 30 people who had played a game when I got in, and all but one were Epic developers I believe.

[Dankulous]

@Skyllus ahh well im pretty sure i was in it because when i checked the event calendar it said friends, family, vips and employees or something like that

[AFricknChickn23]

@bizkit2345 but wait... how do you get the green camo?

[FknNex]

@bizkit2345

[livetolovetoskate]

@bizkit2345 i had that beta and i didnt get those skins

[KidxJokerx]

@livetolovetoskate then you obviously are Lying!!... duhhh...

[amazingdany]

@bizkit2345 Green MS skins will be available as part of a marketing promotion :)

[LoneBaldEagle]

@bizkit2345 that's fair

[Grrrizzleh]

@bizkit2345 Silver = Liquid Metal = Gears 3 Season Pass

[bizkit2345]

@Grrrizzleh Only if you're talking about the final game.. Which this video is about the beta.

[oXBeatFreakoX]

@bizkit2345 Maybe there is because you can unlock an exclusive skin in an upcoming event called "Impossible Mission." Who knows just saying.

[bizkit2345]

@oXBeatFreakoX I made this comment when the beta was active...

Now...

Silver = Season Pass

Green = Jack in the Box promo.

[oXBeatFreakoX]

@bizkit2345 Yes ok I understand but a new skin is still exclusive. I wonder what it is. Haha Yumm jack in the Box!! Time for lunch :P

[oOMaGMaHOo]

At 4:18 how do you get those weapon skins?

[thestainisgone485]

hahaha great trap xDD

[Dankulous]

@HaX0Rmedia i'm pretty sure it's an acheivement from gow2, if you check stats and awards and go to weapon skins it should tell you which one

[Flamez2k10]

hahaha you got wrecked at the end loool

[Skyllus]

@Flamez2k10 Win some you lose some :(

[mexicharles]

4:44 ANTdizzle 05 gets dumped on, then he rage quits. lol

[ILikeReallyBigButts]

Hmm.. this did not show up in my sub box.. well thank you for making the video! It was great.

I played with the #1 gears player yesterday.. His name is prodigy x. Cool guy, and is level 64 in the beta... :o

[Skyllus]

@ILikeReallyBigButts Yeah, him and I were #1 and #2 for a few weeks :)

[iTitanium]

Whats the one shot range for the Gnasher?

Very good video !

[Skyllus]

@iTitanium The range which they can get a one-shot down. Hard to show, and actives make the range a bit bigger. If you watch my videos, the wide berth I take around walls is roughly the range.

[iTitanium]

I was sucking for 4 years through gears 1 and 2 because i was mainly good a halo 3 , Inever really enjoyed online matchmaking because my mate never really taught me how to play properly, but now I'm GEED for GOW 3!!!!

Very good video !

[oddboy04]

Sensitivity???

[Skyllus]

@oddboy04 We'll have a video up on sensitivities soon

[kirangollamudi]

@Skyllus like to see that, for now i have 12, 12,12.. need to practice them and increase it sooner

[dizzygunner]

how do u get the other skins eg green gnasher or chrome lancer?

[skullsRS]

You do know that you are able to lefty-flip like in gow2?

[Skyllus]

@skullsRS Yep, didn't bring it up because I don't know if it will be in the final game. They did change how you do it, so I don't know.

[Flamez2k10]

how can i get camo on the gnasher

[Skyllus]

@Flamez2k10 Not unlockable in the beta. They gave it to people who were in the early friends and family beta. I won't have it for release.

[sinister789456]

Alot of the things you said ive known for a long time

Right hand advantage is a must in all gears

Unless you know how to lefty glitch then youre screwed

[jokeboxproductions]

how do you u lancer and gnasher.

[jokeboxproductions]

@jokeboxproductions how you get the chrome lancer and gnasher

[TMasterManT]

lol fuck that spot at the end. I found that shit out before this video :/. But good video, I learned a lot from it. You should have taught how to avoid being killed by a retro lancer or how to rush up the stairs on Thrashball. I really need help with that :(.

[SidTheWiz]

Holy shit. Never seen that spot before lmao.

[ImArmitt]

how u get the green camo at 4:20

[ForgotAboutNolan]

what settings u play on? if u dont mind me asking.

[Hypezalot]

Good episode bro

-UpRoaR

[MrGrebbi]

"Mental map of the map." Try saying that 5 times faster. =D

[xXHarryR18Xx]

@MrGrebbi easy as fuck lol.

[REHamster2u0]

That last spot is BEAST! I'm going to try that out just piss some noobs off!

[IHighLikePlane]

How did you get those weapon skins?

[ImArmitt]

how u got gold shot gun at the start

[xXHarryR18Xx]

@ImArmitt no its the epic game skins :)

[CoatedTrout]

Liquid metal skins? Now you work for epic and microsoft apparently?

Nice tips but I don't think this is something that can really be taught but rather learned through experience. Might be important to people who don't know about right-hand advantage though.

[TheFakeColour]

You should have mentioned that when they shout "Enemy reinforcements" it means they are switching spawns.

[OhMyAshes]

This game is going to be so good on dedicated servers

[AdoaN17]

i never thought watching you would actually help ;/

thanks for these tip videos.

[H4mpster]

beast boomshot!!
