not in a space that small you cant. even if you space everyone out in that little tunnel as much as possible the sos's radius will cover the entire tunnel. blax and i were testing that out earlier.
so in the end youre supposed to just not go into the tunnel because if you do you'll die. even if you send just one person in, hes going in knowing hes going to die. thats not strategy.

right but the more people you have capturing it at once the faster itll go. in a match with respawns like koth capturing a point and setting up a defensible perimeter as soon as possible is important if you dont want to get flanked.its not like they were just camping it.
True, but it is still a risk they took. A boomshot, grenade and torque bow can do the same damage as the Sawed-Off WITHOUT gambling by going up close and personal. Again...I think the solution to the sawed off is making it a weapon you grab on the map.
I hate attempting to unlock the Savage Theron Guard. I was told in the character description that in order to unlock it, I had to complete 12 waves on Beast Mode with all difficulties. After a few days (only took a few 'cause people hardly ever accepted my invites for some reason), I finally finished only to find out the guy isn't even unlocked. Several minutes of confusion later, I discovered that I actually had to complete all that stuff without failing one wave. Hard to not fail a wave when you got a short time limit and the Insanity difficulty to boot.

it sounds like a gun that can kill 4 people in one shot from a further distance than the gnasher should be a pick up weapon not a starter weapon.
No, it's clearly a problem with that particular capture ring, if it's a problem at all. If there's no way to capture that ring without all being huddled in there like a group of gang bangers spray painting an underpass then it's a problem with that ring on that map.
Though that's not really the case, is it? There are ways around that if you think for a second. Just because you can't think of them doesn't mean it's a game flaw. Perhaps it's a flaw in your play style, since you seem to think that there's no conceivable way to capture a point without everyone sitting in a ring.
One ring on one map doesn't allow you to safely group capture it without taking substantial risks - again, that's called strategic choice. You can take the risk and do that regardless and then complain when it doesn't work, or you can accept that not every capture ring is identical and come up with specific strategies for ones that may not fit into how you're used to playing.
Your argument isn't very compelling. So a gun can kill 4 people in one shot, but only if those 4 people are playing poorly and dimwittedly. That doesn't mean it's overpowered.
yah totally, and the sniper rifles designed to headshot people who walk around in the open and camp. make it a weapon you can spawn with. boomshot too. after all it only has 2 rounds and youd have to be an idiot to stand in one place and get hit by it.
i suppose well have to agree to disagree.
in any case, people are losing their minds over the gun and it is going to be nerfed, without a doubt.
since coding issues prevent it from just being removed out right, i wonder how theyre going to nerf it. my guess would be a welcome smaller gib radius. i dont think theyll touch the gib range.
Both of those are much harder to avoid than the SoS. To avoid the SoS all you have to do is not let them get right next to you.
It may get nerfed. I'm not sure though since Cliff B has already defended the gun, saying that if you let someone get close enough to you to use it then it's your own fault.
But yes, if they do nerf it they'll probably change the radius.

that sounds cool. how many comics are there of gears?
Say what you want about Cliffy B...this quote is spot-****ing-on
"I believe we're getting better at storytelling with each effort and the critical consensus is that this is the best Gears narrative yet, and we'll keep doing better in the future. You can pick anything to shreds on the internet because you've got the time and balls afforded to you by a keyboard and monitor. 😉"
