Gears of War for dum...err...beginners

GoW


Gears of War is arguably one of the better multi-players games for the Xbox 360. After all, nothing's more fun than going online with the posse to blast the next newbie logging on. That is, unless you're the said wet-nose who's been turned into meat sauce.

GoW can be a very scary place for the new guy, and with that in mind, we're offering help in the guise of this survival guide we picked up from a couple of gaming vets on the net. Remember the list, young pups - it could save your life.

Stick with the team:
You've seen this in the movies: Never run off on your own. Always stay with the pack, and keep your team updated on your status and your current weapon.

Starting moves:
Matches always start with a run for the weapons, Unreal-style. Take this opportunity to plan your strategy. For those unfamiliar with the map, tail one of your vets to feel your way around.

Learn to bug out:
Sometimes, you just have to run. Remember to use the"A" key when making a break for it, and head for your teammates or a safe-zone. Don't look at it as running away - think of it as a "strategic withdrawal."

Animation:
When an enemy lets rip the chainsaw, they're invulnerable to most weapons during the starting animation. The best thing to do here is wait, then flank them. As soon as their animation ends, try using your own lancer to rip 'em a new one from behind.

When to revive:
If you're in a two-on-two battle and your buddy dies, press on the attack. Stopping to patch up your downed buddy will just make you an open target. Not to mention your partner will be doubly pissed if/when you drop.

These tips won't make you invincible - even the best get fragged often. But they will improve your survivability, ensuring you frag your enemies more than they frag you. For the vets reading up on this post, feel free to add your own pointers for the new guys. Remember to have fun, guys!

That was pretty good. Some things that I like to do:

Have team rush one weapon (sniper, etc)

After that, cover any entrance/area the other team can come in.

Have one person scout, if he finds the other team, he hightails back to another spot while the rest of the team flanks the opposing team, so when they get to the scout, the rest of your team is behind them (kinda hard to explain).



If you are the last person left, you can either hide, or fight, or a combination. Normally it is best to hide somewhere with a sniper, shoot at them, and move to the side so when they come up, you can throw a grenade in the middle of them, then haul ass to the other side of the map and try to pick them off with the sniper.
