Played Gears 2 again the other night. Forgot how crap it is. Whats the point in even having the shotgun in the game when it shoots flour unless you're host!?

I'm playing the beta right now, whoop whoop!
Its good but tbh, I think they've fucked up the shotgun again coz you can shoot someone 3 times with it and still not drop them, its just underpowered imho and the sawn off shottie is only any good if you're in their face coz it has no range at all.
Liking the maps so far though.

I've changed my gamertag twice since I used the NoblemanNecro account. Haven't used that one in about 2 years now.
Yeah, it was showing I was playing it to my friends but not to anyone else, I have alot of privacy settings set.

Played about 10 TDM games, so infuriating. Most people just dive around to get close enough to shotgun and kill you in one. Maybe im biased towards FPS and maybe the fact i have a 1.5 meg line doesnt help but i just find it infuriating lol.
